Hi again on this topic,

Well, we now have the new UK passports and just need to get the visa's transferred into them. I thought I was doing well as I have the forms (INZ 1023) in front of me ready to fill in and just as I was about to put pen to paper I looked at the first section ....... which asks for the principal applicant's details ............ so now I am thinking is this me ?? as I was the principal applicant, but the transfer of visa's are for my husband and son not me ???????? so am I just being completely stupid and do they mean principal applicant for transfer of the visa ???

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply.

I think I was having an incredibly dim moment (blaming it on the stress). I ended up completing the forms with just my husbands and son's details and I think it will be ok. I thought if it's not they will just send them back

Hi Guys,

Well the passport and visa transfer is over for my husband and son for the next 10 years

I just thought I would update you on the experience though, Firstly I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly the new UK passports arrived. From sending off with the check and send service at the post office it too only 1 week to have the new passports back, which I thought was rather good.

Secondly, after my incredibly dumb moment last weekend with the forms for transfer of the visas I did do what was really quite blatantly obvious, and filled them in with my husbands and son's details ! ! ! So on Monday they went off to the post office and were sent at about 4.30pm. Then on Friday morning whilst enjoying a bit of early morning sun in the garden I was really surprised when the postman appeared with a special delivery which contained the passports with new visa's attached ! ! ! ! !

So all in all quite a pleasantly positive experience ......... lets just hope its the same when I need to do my own in 2 yrs
