I received a response to my e mails at 11.20 last night so obviously it's being dealt with in India.Having had the first enquiry about the "passport in process" problem already solved by HTers I was ahead of the game and had sent both my own and my wife's passport details. I was told in response to that e mail that it had been passed to the appropriate department.
I decided to process my application this morning and "bingo" I was in. The application form is pretty simple to fill in as long as you read it properly, and where applicable put NA with out any punctuation or forwards slashes.
Sadly, when I got to adding my wife on the application you'll never guess what ?
Another e mail sent but when that will be sorted we'll see.
Not getting stressed in the least bit..... yet !!!!
