I was able to answer my own question by using the following code. Basically it was a case of refactoring the code into a more logical order that resolved it. The issue wasn't helped by another issue I had here which just confused matters further.Issue with parse.com user signup not working

   $('#SignUp').click(function(e) {

    UserSignUp();
});


function UserSignUp() {

      var fileUploadControl = $("#pic")[0];
    if (fileUploadControl.files.length > 0) {
       var file = fileUploadControl.files[0];
       var name = "photo.png";


   var user = new Parse.User();

   var parseFile = new Parse.File(name, file);
   userFirstname = $('#firstnamesu').val();
   userLastname = $('#lastnamesu').val();
   userUsername = $('#usernamesu').val();
   userGender = $('#gendersu').val();
   Email = $('#emailsu').val();
   PWP = $('#passwordsu').val();


   user.set("ProfilePic", parseFile);
   user.set("FirstName", userFirstname);
   user.set("LastName", userLastname);
   user.set("username", userUsername);
   user.set("gender", userGender);
   user.set("email", Email);
   user.set("password", PWP);


var uri = encodeURI('http://XXXX.com/XXXX.html');

  user.signUp(null, {
    success: function(user) {

         if (!user.existed()) {
                window.location.href = uri;
            } 

    },
    error: function(user, error) {
      // Show the error message somewhere and let the user try again.

    }
  });


};
}
