**DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

Just an update on my message above.

We just got an email specifying the second set of photos were also NOT the correct size. Third time lucky hopefully! We will bring a ruler and make sure we don't leave the photoshop with the wrong size again haha

Also, in the PPR email it says you have 30 days to send them the photos and form....I'm hoping that means the initial photos even if they are deemed the wrong size? B/C if it's 30 days to send everything correctly then my time is up in 2 days :/

Hello all,

Is there any uk applicants here who know how far along they are in the process yet? I'm trying to find out possibly how much longer I will have to wait

I am canadian and my partner is Uk resident, dunno how long it will take more, its very frustrating. My visa is expiring next week so i will be flying back to canada , Still no sign or update from London Visa Office.

Awts, pipalei. Sure hope the 3rd set will finally be acceptable. About the 30 days, if you will include the recent email you got from them, then that would be a proof that they have asked for another set of photos.

Good luck! Glad you are almost done with your app

Thank you Survivor27! That is a good idea. The second set we sent we didn't include the request email but wrote little cover letter with our file number and a line stating "new photos as per request". We will submit these photos with a copy of the email from them.


We actually have gotten these 3rd set of photos done at 2 different places. They both look to be spot on this time. Does anyone think it will be a problem if we send in both sets for them to choose from or should we only send one set?

I think it would still be best to send what's being asked, i.e. if 2 photos, then send only 2

I was leaning that way as well.

Thank you for your input

Hi,

Has anyone submitted the outland application in December and is now waiting for updates from the New Delhi Visa Office?
Let me know if anyone of you has an idea about the processing time after your application reaches at the local Visa Office (In my case it is NDVO).

Thanks!
