PS Does this mean I don't have to go for interview? I'm 7 months pregnant with twins so cannot go back to uk for quite a while so hoping I don't need an interview!!

I wonder if them asking for new photos means that processing has begun? It does seem unusually early, so surely it must be a skim through the docs to check everything is there before adding to the pile..?
In our case (transferred to Mississauga, not London) photos were requested the day the file went to DM. They only requested two additional photos. I believe the photos were requested because my spouse was bearded when his original photos were sent, and beardless when his medical was completed (this was after we applied due to poor advice from our consultant) so I *believe* they wanted current photos for his PR card. They also sent the passport request at the same time as the photo request.

In your case, I am not certain? Maybe they didn't fit the photo guidelines somehow?

Yes, now I know that the company who took my picture did not stamp the back with their company name and date. In the cluster of getting everything together I did not know that was a requirement.

I am sure that they check all is in order when they receive everything so to give as much notice as possible to get everything back to them, but I am strongly hoping they have started the processing! It was only received on 6th August.

Photos are not required to be stamped, so that has nothing to do with it. Most likely, they lost some of your other photos.

Oh maybe! But it does say in the requirements:

One photo must bear the name and complete address of the photo studio and the date the photo was taken
must be included on the back of one photo. The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite
this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.

taffy, in the last notes I ordered, on page 29 it shows that my file left Mississauga on the 3rd of November and it arrived in London on the 12th of November. My In Process date in ECAS is November 12th, so I presume that London received your application on November 7th.

Can you look for the text PAPER FILE HISTORY in your notes, for me the section starts on page 28. The entries will be sorted newest to oldest so go to the end. The last one should be an in transit note going from Mississauga to London, and the one before the last should say Office: London and Location: Registry.

Looking at my notes under eligibility, security and criminality they all say Due Date: 2015/10/31, is that what you mean by bring forward date taffy?

The spreadsheet did not have a record of them asking you to do a remed. When was the first remed request? In your notes it says the initial medical was done on the 24th of July, so asking you to do the first remed in May seems strange as you had 2 months left.

It could be that they never received your medical results from the first remed request. Have you confirmed with them that they received the results?
Thanks Andrew for the prompt reply. The first re-med was requested on May 19, 2015 via New Delhi VO. Although we wrote LVO if it is necessary to do it as our initial medical was still valid for another two months, but they replied us to do it.
I suspect either NDVO / LVO have lost our results or IOM - Pakistan (Panel Physician) has not forwarded it to them. We will be sending them a CSE to inquire it.

I can never login to ECAS with hubby's information (he is the applicant). Is this normal?

I have tried both application number, and UCI assigned to him.
