I have decided to renew my passport here in manila while waiting for the CALL LETTER from the British embassy. Now my questions are these: Will it cause a problem if I submit the new passport ( considering my new passport number )? Do i need to inform the embassy about this change? How long does it usually take before I finally get the visa? Please help. I've had sleepless nights because of this. Not to mention the stress i have to go through missing my husband every second of the day. :(
you've won your visa appeal. Personally ... I would've waited until after arrival in the UK before renewing the passport - given that the present one still has more than a year's validity on it. But hopefully, the Embassy officials will use their common sense to work things out for themselves.
