Yes BLS seem to make things complicated!
We got our interview and like you took photos with us but they gave us these back and took photos whilst we were there. They also rejected the application forms our solicitor had filled in as there forms were in a different font - exactly the same wording but just a different font - so we filled in new forms whilst there.
The staff were however very helpful and seem quite used to the chaos in the centre!
Good news is our visas arrived after just 5 weeks and wre sent back to us by courier.
Ferry booked for week after next!
