and Covid Extension is unable to travel / so with your comment “need for future work” it is clear you are not unable to travel and extension would most likely not granted - so very helpful from the officer asking you to remove that

Just used 4 years old photos for my 16 years old son - no problem (and in that age it’s a big difference) and I’m also using my old photos where I had 20 Kilo more - never had any question
Regarding travel bubble you have to wait for final a announcement - e g if it is with China would it be only for Chinese people or also for other nationalities who are coming in from China - not sure If that is clear and even with travel bubble they seem to limit the total number of people coming in
