Inspite of the strike, I received my Visa today! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all who help share your valuable knowledge about immigration process. Thank you for the encouragement... support to keep me going. I once felt of giving up but i did pass this trials. So for those who are still waiting, be patient... have faith...God will truly answer prayers in the most unexpected time. Can't wait to be with my hubby soon! Praise God!

It seems like the two are attached as a standard thing to send out. In the next PDF, there's no request for photos. Everybody who got a PPR this week is asking the same thing - to send, or not to send photos when they specifically didn't mention them, aside from the form attached to Appendix A.
I'm currently in this dilemma. Can anyone tell me how many ID photos I have to send?

Thank you!

Thank you!
If they do not request photos then you need not send any. You should have already sent in your passport pics with your initial application. If they request pics its either because they lost them or because you have added someone to the Appendix A to be included in the application and their pics would be required.

Maybe their mailbox is full, try their online tool. That happened to me before too, I just waited a few hours then tried again.

Emails will go through after a couple tries. Getting an answer ... that's what takes forever.

Was finally able to get through! Yah, i know i have an 80% chance of just getting a generic response but at this point we are willing to just do about anything for our 2 y/o who is the only applicant in our application. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers i hope i get the 20% kind of response.
Stormy day here in the philippines, well thats the case in my side of town....
