Old passports not scanned

[Crosz]

Hello guys, does anyone know if this is correct. I went to submit my application for UK tier 2 dependent visa today at a visa center in south Africa.

I tried to have my old passports scanned but the guy collecting the application asked me if I had any UK visas on the old passports I said no, that I only have South African visas on them. He then said that it was not necessary and returned them to me without scanning them.

But before I went there I thought they scanned old passports so my cover letter included that I will be submitting old passports.

I dont know if the guy knows his job and if he has just complicated my situation.

Any thoughts on this from anyone.

Thanks

Same thing happened to me here in Canada. The visa office refused to take my old passport. I heard its something to do with the new system. They no longer need old passports. Im not totally sure.

Should collect my passport tomorrow so would let you know if my application scaled through.

Got my passport and visa today. So I would say you are probably fine. Godspeed

I really hope so @Bab temi. But I was not expecting them to take the old passport. I was expecting them to scan the photo page and all the visas in them and send them with my application to UKVI but they refused. So there is nothing with UKVI to show my previous travel history. Was that the same in your case.
Congrats on getting your visa anyways.
