... managed to get hold of the person at UKBA
... the photos were returned because "she was smiling, and her mouth was open" !!!!!!!
(the same photo as per in her Filipino passport)
I kid you NOT !
What also annoys me, is that they returned EVERYTHING to us .... the bank statements,
the passports, the other supporting documents .... EVERYTHING !
Why the hell couldn't they hold onto it all.... and just await the new passport photos ????
Now I've gotta re-send it ALL again.
UNBELIEVABLE !

Did they cash your cheque or did they return it to you?Originally Posted by Bluebirdjones
Iain,
They hold onto it (cheque), and give u a 28 day "window" to re-submit.
... off to the Post Office this very minute.

at least they gave you 28 days to re-submit, howwould you be if they refused your app and you had to pay again
Yes photos should not be smiling, this is always the normal procedure in passport photo taking. I remember when i had my photo taken in the Phils, the photographer told me to remove my earrings and should wear a top with a collar and/or with a blazer (which i was wearing that time). But when i filed for the FLR, i did smile a bit and with earrings well wore a blazer on that photos submitted.
Perhaps they don't have a department for incomplete documents? hence they return everything to you. BEcause if they do have then that is additional embassy staff plus they need your money...Are you going to pay again?
Goodluck. HOpe you sort this out very soon. FLR processing takes more than a month nowadays?

... well, not really a lot in this country to smile about, but YES, should have
foreseen it, altho' with the biometric "mumble" to come as well, is it (smiling)
really relevant ?
Oh well ............. as Peter Green once said.
No man is an island, but Barry is
if the same photo in her philippine passport that means its an old photo they need a new one
all things are possible!
