Hi,

When I tried to switch to Tier 1 General visa by applying via post last July, I received my reference number in 4 working days from the day I sent my application.

However, my application was rejected as invalid because the photographs I submitted were more than 1 month old =(.

I will have my in-person appointment in the next couple of days.

You will receive it by post. Since you posted it on Saturday 26th, they would have received it today (28th Sept.). Most likely they will post out your acknowledgement either in the next day or two, so hopefully you should it receive it this week (unless it gets delayed in postal strike).

Hi,

How can they reject the application by saying the photo was 1 month old. How will the home office know when was the photo taken.

Can anyone clarify on this photo issue. I have heard alot from this forum about rejection of application just coz of photos.

The most foolish mistake people can make is by sending the same photo that is on their visa/passport. Also sometimes the date and time of photo is printed on the back of the photo (I have seen some photo machines put this timestamp, doesn't always happen though).

That's correct. I am too stupid to submit the photographs that I used to apply my previous visa (this was 3 years ago

).

However, the reason why I did it because I remember my advisor once told me that during her entire career, she has yet to experience a visa rejection due to photographs.

Please inform you advisor about your case otherwise he/she might advice someone else the same thing. You must read the guidlines first to prepare any application.
