Documents sent before deadline...

[virtualcadd]

Hi,
Are there anyone who has send there documents just before deadline & documents not opened by sydney office so they send another letter for closing the file because not providing with sufficient documents.
* Deadline for documents was 9 August 2009
* Documents sent on 4 August 2009
* Letter received from London office on 1st September that documents not recived so closing the file.
* another letter for London office on 15 September with new file number.

Please comment on this topic, still not sure weather they are verifying the documents or taken it as fresh application.
I would request to all who are submitting there documents to do it atlease 15 days prior to deadline.

Thanks in advance
Regards to ALL

the first letter   was  an error   as the  officer  probably did not find  your file at this  time  so he  wrote  that letter  after  few  days   due  to   a delay    in the  post   your  complete file  was received   so   

the  officer   has corrected  his  error    by sending  the  new  file  number

good luck

I believe once you submit your initial application to Sydney, the best thing is to commence the gathering of necessary supporting documents for your final application. Don't wait until you receive the 120days notice before you commence. That will put you under enormous pressure. I have since too many threads where many people waited until the last few days. That is very risky.

Plan properly and you wouldn't waste your precious time and effort.
