Worst case, it will not be accepted and returned to you but we will first try our best to wait for you to completely supplement your application.  You will not be contacted if your mailed-in application is missing documents. Please make sure you adhere to the guidelines and send ALL requirements listed in the guidelines.  As part of routine procedure, we may check in on incomplete applications around periodically but you are NOT guaranteed to receive a call or email if you are missing documents.
