Back from Handing in Passport in London
Hi there all I just got back from handing in passport in London. Now I wait 2 weeks to go back and hopefully get VISA. I got there plenty in time and was actually the 1st person in line with nobody there at around 12pm. (2hours early lol)
I am glad I was early as by 2pm the que was very busy and quite a few people there. At 2pm went in and put my mobile phone in a locker then was asked to go through a metal detector machine or whatever they are. Walked upstairs and then handed my passport to the receptionist. She then handed me my reciept and told me to come back in 2 weeks.
So was not painfull and all very fast. Was anyone else in the que. I felt like shouting out hey anyone from BritishExpat forum lol.

Re: Back from Handing in Passport in London
I'd LOVE to hand mine in, but I'mm quite a bit away and I'd need to travel down again in 2 weeks
We COULD go down for a 2 week holiday, but that would probably be far too expensive!
Hey ho! We'll just need to post 'em (if we ever get our PPR's!
)
Advanced Congrats LS!!!!

Re: Back from Handing in Passport in London
Good luck with yours. I guess its hard if you live far away as you have to come twice to London. I just could not wait via post for it. I heard by post it takes a little longer. As long as you send by courier should be fine.

Can't wait to go to Vegas, I have been twice before but hubby hasn't ever been. We are hoping to 'land' on the way back into Calgary.
