My passport finally arrived today. Not that it took very long. Two weeks in fact, from the day I lodged it, so that was good. But it took a few attempts to get it right. After filling in the forms and getting Anthony to sign them, we discovered that part of the form had been completed in blue ink, not black ink. Fixed that, went back to the post office only to find that there was a missing signature for Donna. Got Anthony to sign all the new forms, but got to the post office again, only to find we missed a signature.

This went on for a while but eventually we got it right, and I submitted the forms for myself and the kids. Donna was away at the time, so she had to take hers up on her own. Guess what? The form had been "updated" a few days ago, so now she had to fill it out all over again (plus more new signatures from Anthony.)
Can't wait to do the Visas!
