New Photo Requests:

As far as I know, the specifications of the photograph hasn't changed since our application (ie since 2013). So why is LVO requesting for new photographs?

Some explanations:

1. I think they are requesting photographs from those applicants who have children listed in their application. As we know the facial features of children changes very quickly. If this is true only applicants with children will get photo requests. But again, i dont see any point in LVO requesting photographs for every family member, they could request only the children's photographs.

2. It is possible that VO wants the photo to be 6 months or less in age for all applicants. If this is the case, then all the applicants whose applications are 6 months or more will get photo request. This is most likely the case.

3. ............ (dont know)... what you guys think?

In my case both 1 and 2 applies..

Thanks for this suggestion. What is LVO's email address? Do they have more than one email depending on the purpose for which we contact them?

LVO does not send acknowledgement emails. What I have done is: I send the documents by post and follow up with an email to LVO saying that "as per your email dated blah blah I have now forwarded the required documents ". Sometimes they will reply saying, your documents have been received and your dd has been accepted. Anyways, when you send an email, your request is logged into the gcms system and the visa officer is sure that you have sent the documents. So technically you have put the ball in their court and if they haven't received it then they are supposed to contact you.
Generally lvo doesn't send any acknowledgement.
