I received PPR (passport request) thru an email from London VO! praise God! it came in at last after a long time of waiting. Wife had medical furtherance that took long time of waiting about 7 months in total.
To all those who are about to lose hope, don't despair. It will surely come in His perfect time. As most of you know this already, I'll say it again anyways, "Patience is the name of the game".
However, I've got a question and needed everybody's opinion and advice.
My VO is in London and I applied under FSW program in 2012. My question is, I just received my PPR last week and am currently in vacation here in the Philippines. After a week of vacay, the PPR email came in. As I review our passports, I found out that my daughter's passport, is due for renewal already (expiry date: Nov 2013). Had this renewed few days ago and will be released in DFA, Manila soon. What confuses me however is, how our passports will come back to us? Obviously, I couldn't fly or go back to work (Gulf) for the next 6 weeks or more as the letter from VO said. I'll send our passports to London VO via courier (e.g. DHL, USPS, FedEx, Aramex) which would only take 2-3 days. Then I thought, how would our passport come back here to us as I'm currently in the Philippines and I'm the principal applicant? Would it be sent back in a registered mail (slow mail) from London? Is there a possibility it would be sent back to us through a courier as well? It was also mention in our letter, that if the return address is in the Gulf, it would be sent back through a courier because of the crisis happening in these countries right now. But am here in the Philippines ATM, and I've got no choice but to send our passports from here. I'm also at the brink of possibly losing my current job soon if our passports would take longer than usual before it came back to us.
If someone know any answers/suggestions on what should I do, please do advice. How would our passports come back from London VO to Philippines? Can I advise my VO to send our passports via courier instead of the registered mail?
