I now know why my daughter passport process seems to be running so smoothly!
Her biological father is American and what my wife has done is use agency and ordered her an American passport as she uses her father surname and he counter signed the birth certificate!
And as if everything wasn't complicated enough!

Next question i am now unsure of is it worth applying for my daughter as dependant of my wife using her biological father nationality passport? or would this be the wrong decision as all of are visa application regarding daughter is based upon sole guardianship?

Thanks

Dave
