Can anyone of you confirm if OFC appointment (for biometrics) is needed if you qualify for the dropbox program ?

Thank you so much. We are planning a trip MY husband needs to get his passport reissued  first and then his visa. 

I hope it will be okay if we send both the passports, older one with the expired stamp and the reissued one.

 

 

 

 

Hi, I am in same situation. Will go for dropbox next month. Any update? Please share your experience.
