Passports Stamped and Ready to Go
Impressive work from the U.K. visas team. The whole family’s documents arrived by courier at the house this morning just as I was setting out to work. Each of our passports now bears a hansom U.K. residency endorsement that covers an entire page and which includes a second photograph. Given that the package was sent up to the consulate in NY last Monday afternoon, the turn-around time adds up to less than a week. Say, we’ve got a pretty free market focused administration right now. I wonder if they’d take bids from the U.K. team to process U.S. passport applications, a process which presently takes every day of the promised six weeks.
I’ve passed copies of the endorsements along to HR, the firm assisting us with immigration issues wants to keep copies as well as a history of all entries in and departures from the U.K. so that they have an accurate record of our immigration status if it comes to extending our visas; something not presently planned.
