Submitted spouse visa documents in a folder

[Raawi]

Hi All,
I submitted my documents for Outland spouse visa category last week which are supposed to reach by January 12, 2021.
The problem is I submitted all my documents within a folder and sent it .

I have read now under common mistakes that we are not supposed to use folders. Has anyone experienced this, so do you know what will happen ?

I've never heard of an application being returned since it was submitted in folders.

What you've done is created more work (and probably irritation) for the officer who has to manage your application. They are basically going to have to pull everything out of your folders before putting into their own filing system. You've created an extra step for them.

Hey Scylla,

first of all thanks a lot for-taking out time and responding to my query.

secondly I would like to clarify that I have just used one single folder. Do you think it will be ok ?

I am really upset with myself and quite worried .

would really appreciate your response

Again, I don't remember seeing any applications returned for this reason. All you've done is created extra work for the visa officer.
