and the message… “application being reviewed by the Regional Passport office” which is a completely useless update.

So we’re all going to have a break and not do the passport blog thing over the weekend.

I can hear the sighs of relief and hip hip hoorays reverberating around the Facebook and blog world…. 😉

To bring it, nearly up to date (blog time is like winter time as its a bit behind) so far, we’ve:

• revised and amended Manjula’s ID ( Aadhar card) so it is now correct and consistent,
• visited the Bank manager for documents  to prove her address,
• obtained the TC (transfer certificate from her school)
• applied and received a PAN (tax card) card,
• sworn an affidavit with the advocate,
• submitted the online application and documents,
• attended the Bangalore office to actually submit the application itself and for Manjula to be interviewed,
• met the police,
• neighbours signed forms and verification report gone from Police to Regional Passport Office.

phew……

It’s cost thousands of Rupees, endless meetings, hours on the internet and in traffic and a ton more grey hairs

and I’ve learned a LOT

but there is the risk of it taking over and lethargy air got there first, so let’s have a nice relaxing weekend and a cycle trip with Simon in the morning
