In anticipation of Passport Request
 
Hi

We are awaiting our passport request, but those of you who have received yours please could you let me know what we need to do - I understand from some other threads that we need photos, is there anything that we need?

Just want to keep things ready so that when we do finally get the request we are good to go!! ;)

Thanks!!

photos was about it! and a large self addressed envelope, A4 size. dont put postage on it, cause they'll send back passports and paperwork you'll need for your landing.
we had to sign for the stuff.. recorded delivery?

calm down.. breathe..

:):)
wont be long now!

slightly different from passport, but honestly not much... we went to costco with the letter we received and the guy just checked measurements. the letter tells you min/max sizes.. mush show shoulders etc...

here's hoping the letters here soon for you!
i was SOOO anxious for the post to arrive every day... now i dont know what to do with myself!

We went down to snappy snaps and were very pleased with their service. They do photos for all the countries...and they were on the ball with the correct photo requirements. We were charged £7.99 for four photos each.

We sent the photos and an A4 sized envelope along with the updated info (regarding height, name, eye color etc. ) for all four of us.

Hopefully yours should arrive anyday now, as ours had done!!!!

Us too, waiting for those passport requests. Moving from Hastings to Vancouver hopefully. AOR Feb 06, Meds done June 20th. GP says our meds were clear, so where are they?? Just had 2 offers on our house, bit of a bidding war went on yesterday...felt very proud of our little house attracting two buyers on the same day after 5 months in this marketplace! We were just about to give up and rent it out!

We have been instructed by our Consultant to get our passports & fee to her 30 days after the meds so that will be the 5 Oct. Just recently on BE people have been getting their passport reqs 30 days after meds.:)

Hmmm. Well, I've actually emailed them this morning to check all is well. Never done this before as I know not to bother them but since they emailed me once, I figured it's ok! Fingers crossed :-)
