Re: IRS Annual Average Exchange Rate

Thank you.

I was .75 of a cent under that but I do include the fee Wise charges in that figure, which I know the IRS doesn't allow. Which shows how good Wise's rates and fees are.

Re: UK Passport Renewal - Issue with Photos

I had problems getting my photo accepted last time I renewed. Turned out it was because the light was not even across my face. Once I got an even light source it was OK.

Re: Applying for a UK Pension. I am missing information.

The information they have is on the DWP system gathered from information when you lived and worked in the UK. At a guess the "wrong" address you gave was not the last address they had on record.

Re: Entering US on UK passport as US citizen

Have your US passport couriered overnight to you. Might well be quicker than getting an appointment at Citizen Services at the US Embassy.

You can't apply for an ETA if you have British nationality. The online form does not allow you to select British as a second nationality. Carry both, I have my US passport on my airline profile and...
