Re: Shipping from California to UK

I didn't love the packers they subcontracted to. They didn't do a great job I found out on this...

Re: Spouse visa from US

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. My sense is that the VFS office in San Francisco won't be opening any time soon and even if they do, there is no more priority processing so it could take who knows how...

Re: Does anyone rely on me for financial support question

Re: Does anyone rely on me for financial support question

Please can you clarify? I'm in the same situation. Does this mean that they do not even need to be included in the application? If they do, do we both put them or just me (sponsor).
Thanks so much!

Re: Online UK passport application

I applied from the US for my kids passports. We printed the form and mailed it to a friend who is a physician. He completed it and mailed it off. It was easy. He is American and lives in the US.
