Am now waiting for UPS to pick it up.

Suprisingly the form filling was the easy part :0

The UPS bit took 3 phone calls due to their website throwing up seemingly random errors

So now we wait ( and wait and wait and wait and wait............)

Exactly one year ago we sent ours away.

Got confirmation that they had received it in February.

Got a letter 4 weeks ago addressed to my wife saying they needed written proof she wanted her married name on the citizenship card. WTF??

Anyway, sent that off 4 weeks ago.

The wait goes on.

Should have applied for Burkino Faso citizenship. Could have had that 12 times by now.

Congratulations, I am hoping that by the time we can apply in 2012 that they will have speeded up the application process....

We are waiting on a copy of a COPR before we can send the application off.

Congratulations on getting it all together!

Here's your answer!

We had to do a last minute dash to the safe-deposit box to recover ours , btw they're a pain to photocopy. Mind you so were the pr card and two other pieces of ID . Why do governments insist you photocopy stuff that is blatantly designed not to be photocopied ?

It's an initiative test to weed out the less valuable among us.

<should I have used caps lock?>

Lol

I discovered our copier actually has an ID setting that rather niftily copies one side and then the other and prints them underneath each other , it also optimizes the settings for non copyable ID

Now I know I need to change jobs when that is the highlight of my day

Congrats. We are getting our photos done this weekend and submitting at the beginning of November. Must crack open the book at some point.

Well it got there yesterday afternoon, that's a good sign at least

Now its just the waiting ~ sent of our application three months ago not heard anything yet but its good to see other timelines so you know when to expect an update

Has it been that long already? Congrats!

Would've been sooner but work keeps sending me to that other country down south.

Ben (in New York again.)

I am so jealous!!!

But keep racking up those airmiles :-)

We are planninog on filling in ours this weekend
