"Immigration photographs are NOT the same as passport photographs" But...

[Womble]

Hi

today received the good news: My PR "file is now ready for visa issuance". But there are still confusing signals. I have to send my passport, plus 2 photos, with certain specifications (pic 35* x 45mm; face between 25 and 35mm). Now, when I applied 5 months ago, I got some extra pics done to the Appendix B specs (pic 35 x 45mm; face between 25 and 30mm). Surely it's self-evident that the smaller face spec limit would fit the larger limit, and I can use the spares that I have?

Am I missing something else? How else are the two kind of photo "NOT the same"?

Cheers

* tellingly, this looks like 36mm on the passport spec (the font is so small), but the imperial conversion of both specs say 1 3/8"

PS what do you need to know? Outland application to London; I am being sponsored by my Canadian spouse; 2 sugars in my coffee, thanks

We landed today. I wAs going to use our extras but the specs are a bit different so I figured we should just get a couple more to be sure and cover all the bases. Our visaoffice asked for 3 and gave us back 2.

But how are they different?! I really can't see it!

Thanks

PS congrats on your landing (and having the time to check the forum on the auspicious occasion!)

Thank you! The originals we had to send were the same pic 35mmx45mm face between 25mm and 35mm but the new specs that Buffalo asked for had the face at min 31mm and max 36mm... So maybe London requests a different size so it looks like you'd be safe to use the old ones
