VFS/D7 Visa Application and the "2D bar code'

@northernlites The Miami VFS site stated that the applicant had to print out two copies of the 2D bar code "separator" sheets. I think there were about 12 of them. You have to hunt around on the site to find out where they are and print them out. I was confused about what these were for. One of the sheets was I think "Tuberculosis" test. I could only find 3 that were applicable to my situation (D7 visa): Accommodation,  Financial Evidence, and Non-Essential Documents. My attorney told me to organize my documents according to the checklist posted on the VFS site and insert those three separator sheets in the applicable places in the stack of documents. When I was at my VFS appointment, the very polite VFS official asked me why I did that!!! I told him those were the instructions on the VFS site! He said he thought those divider sheets were only for applications for The Netherlands!! (And why two sets of separator sheets? Who knows!)

At the time I applied, you had to go to the VFS appointment with a round-tip ticket to Portugal already purchased. That was not clear in the document list at the time.

The documents you have to supply depend on your situation and the type of visa for which you are applying.

@wordsmith555 Thanks for that! I'm in the UK which may make a difference I suppose but I will look and see if I can find these 'separator sheets'. If anyone in UK has such experience I'd love to hear.

Does sound a bit like they may not be relevant and the mention of them is a red herring.
