Re: I am in Passport Application Hell (any advice?)

The trick is, I was charged on the 5th - but has it been shipped yet? There is no way to find out. Moreover, I am not at the address that the embassy has - I moved out just the other day. I wonder if...

Re: I am in Passport Application Hell (any advice?)

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a lot of family and friends in Britain. But I am not sure how much good various complainings will do. I really don't see governments being particularly...

Re: I am in Passport Application Hell (any advice?)

Of course legally it isn't. But it is. I understand we can go round and round on whether papers and passports define citizens or the other way around. I know I am British but the UK still doesn't.

Re: I am in Passport Application Hell (any advice?)

Just as an update, I talked with the state of Oregon vital records folks, who said that issues like mine are typically resolved by an apostille letter. So I will try that out and see if it works.
