renewing UK passport in US
Hi,
What needs to be done to renew my UK passport, while in the US? I am in
Cleveland Ohio. I have my AOS interview in february, and my passport will
expire in May.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do, where I need to do it and how long it
usually takes. If it is something that can be done quickly - is it worth
doing it before my AOS interview?
Thanks,
Daniel

Re: renewing UK passport in US
The UK Embassy in D.C. deals with passport applications - for a lot of people the wait is about 10 days to get a new one.
Unless your appearance has changed drastically you will not need to get the back of your photos signed so the whole process is very straightforward.
I got my new passport about a month before my AOS interview was scheduled - I included a note to say that I would like it back asap though I'm sure it's not strictly necessary.
Good luck with the interview.

It seems like you managed to do it without the countersignin, could you let me know? thank you!
It's really that simple.

I don't know if this is true or not and its driving me bananas as i dont know anyone who has gotten a passport thru the embassy LOL.
