Dear All,

Hope you are doing fine.

We had our visas stamped 4 months ago through VAC in Riyadh, we have not landed yet and now I have a query related to change in family composition.
I received following response from LVO upon informing about change:

Quote:
Please return your passports and COPRs to the office that printed them (Abu Dhabi), in order to update your application.
My Query: Shall I send passports & COPRs to Abu Dhabi directly through FedEx/DHL or send it through Visa Application Centre (VAC) Riyadh?[/color]

In the meantime you need to send following documents:

Updated IMM8 form
CAD150 processing fee
Birth cert for baby
Passport copy and photos for newborn
My Query: They didn't ask for Additional Family Form for myself and spouse, shall I still send it or no need?
Unquote:

Thank you in advance.

Though I am not an expert but, let me share by 2 cents:
1. Go with the option that is more safe. I think, sendidng through VAC would be better.
2. What is the harm in sending an updated additional family form?

DHL is the best one for passport delivery.So send thru DHL directly to Abu Dhabi and monitor thru tracking number.
Next though not asked still its fine to again fill the additional family info part as you could include the newborn info in the children part in section B.

Actually my wife is not in town these days and it will be difficult to get her signature on additional family form.

Our family composition is changed after visa is stamped. I was wondering that in our case this is the reason they asked only for updated IMM0008.

Anyone whose family composition changed after visa stamping, which documents were requested by the LVO? please advise.
Many thanks,

They only asked for documents and forms needed to add the baby to the application. Additional family information form is NOT one of them (since it is for your extended family that cannot be part of your application). So this form is not required.
