h4wifelife Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 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. Link to comment
