JoandJon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 They returned our documents (309/100 application in mid 2011) - I seem to recall it was just in a regular envelope, we didn't expect anything returned ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you send originals? they do say not to as they don't return them, maybe it depends on how nice the case officer is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the CO. I got my police check certificates back from my onshore applications and got a birth certificate (official copy) back from my offshore application. They just come in the same envelope as the decision letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Mine was a decission email, for all my visas. Maybe that is why they prefer not to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeboard1980 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 We got things back when we applied offshore back in 2010. They just came in an ordinary envelope 1st class. Was all our evidence as we sent certified copies of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Can someone please advise how immigration return our important documents like birth certs and others?applying for a spouse visa thanks As a matter of policy the DIAC should return all original documents (except for PCCs) to the most recent postal address provided. Sometimes they do not return all original documents and sometimes they return none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
