Although not urgent... we have realized that my wifes passport is about to expire. Having searched the web I believe we have to send form C1 to Washington with the expired passport.... is that correct? If anyone has any websites that could aide me I would be extremly grateful....

Manc

that's exactly what you do.

www.britainusa.com for all the addresses/fees and malarky.

...what Manc suggested.

They were impressively fast when hubby and son's passports needed renewing.

Thanks Manc...

shame they ain't cheap...I was about to go get this done myself, but I'm going to be holding off for a while now, don't have plans to travel and it's one of those things that's off the must do list right now

geeandtee

No, they aren't cheap! Couldn't believe the price

Go on...how much?

I'm just looking into this now as I have to do mine, and the form asks again for the countersignature: "someone who has known you personally for at least two years should complete and sign Section 10. That person should be a British citizen, other British national or Commonwealth citizen who is a Member of Parliament, Justice of the Peace, Minister of Religion, Bank Officer, Established Civil Servant, or professionally qualified person, e.g. Lawyer, Engineer, Doctor, School Teacher, Police Officer or a person of similar standing. Procedures include a check on the authenticity of countersignatories."

Do we have to do that again? I don't know anyone, either British or American, who could fulfill that role?

Ugh! They make the easy seem so hard!

No...if you still look like the same person in your present PP pic. no you don't need a counter signature. I renewed my PP and didn't get the pic countersigned.

I honestly can't remember...it was a few hundred dollars, I think.

Take a look for yourself

Can one assume putting a few pounds and loosing most of my hair counts as looking like the same person?

Otherwise, I'm gonna have to fishing for respectable friends...
