How many photos did you send with the original application? I think I was asked to send 8 altogether.

Anyway, my advise, don't question it, just send the photos! Who knows, maybe someone spilled their coffee on them??!!

I was asked to send 8 with the application - which I did - and then they also requested another 2 with my PPR! Who knows why they require so many... one of the additional 2 was used on my landing documentation. Perhaps they needed a more recent photo - but who knows... don't worry

It is normal Buffalo ask for 2 pics with PPR so thats means they are close to finalizing they prolly want more recent pics of u
