With regards to the two passport sized photos required. Has anyone printed their own ones off on standard paper, or do they have to be passport photo quality as well as passport photo sized?

Also, has anyone worked out what they have done with the 22 photos I have sent them over the years? Do they stick them in an album and get them out to chuckle at every now and then?

we did our own passport print offs for our passport renewal 2 yrs ago they were rejected....had some done in post office last week £5.00 each person :cry

I always print our visa photos off on my home printer but with proper photo paper. We've never had a problem doing this with the visas but for passport renewals, we always go to a booth as the passport office are really hot on photos being exactly right.

omg... just phoned them and they say they cant find our passports and applications and to ring back in 48hrs... :yikes good job we sent them off early....guy said they were probably between the department that takes in the post and the department that issues the visas,but surely they should show somewhere in the system,,,as i said post office tracking shows they recieved and signed for them on the 5th

still waiting and no sign of change on website. in same situation as valleylady. they have signed for them and nothing. i hate this bit about going to goa. seems like alot of people in same boat. you dont know weather to try and make contact with them or not. seems after 2years of doing this job at vfs they still cannot do a simple job efficiently to take out the worry

At least you can stop worrying just a little bit now Valleylady, just worry about getting them back now. I am going to see if there is any info on ours today although I don't expect to see much as we only posted them Saturday. There is another Indian holiday though on Monday so no work done there again on that day. We have a couple of months to go so that should give even them plenty of time.

Great news at last. Our applications have just been accepted at vfs Hayes. I only sent it on 4th of October. Hayes signed for it on 5th October. Must have a hell of a backlog in that bag that was delivered on the 5th but at least now we are in the system. I can uncross one lot of fingers now and wait for them to go to embassy and then back to us. Last part of the jigsaw complete (i hope). Goa here we come. 5 weeks to go
