if anyone get tru with a printed form then please say but i get real horrors for mine and had to do it over

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

it seems everyone who goes for their passport is met with some problem of the other and they have to come back.

they make you get your electronic birth certificate to get your machine readable passport - but if that electronic birth certificate does not match their records then you have to go swear an affidavit. Doesnt that make the electronic birthpaper useless then?

The entire process is very very inconvenient.

[Bacon]

Any change wrt the date when the old passprts will no longer be accepted?

it supposed tuh be 2010 i believe.....but i hear ppl getting appointment 2011

[sexyicon]

Is there anyway to speed up the process currently for a MRP besides an emergency leave? I heard on the news that they were trying to get as much people with the new passport by the end of this year

i did, at san fernando
back then forms were checked by the guards outside (incorrectly completed form, they telling yuh about it). Was asked where i got the form from, told them "their website". They checked out everything, said ok, and i proceeded with no issues.

x2

they sent my mum home because she needed her old birth certificate, apparently an affidavits was corresponding to her old one not the new one (excuse)

so to those going.. take everything
when this 5 years is up... we will see the see the same sheit that took place before.

[Maserati]

Lol I went for mines at the consulate in Toronto,called many weeks ahead to get an appointment time.
I'd heard stories that the appointment time was in reality a first come first serve arrangement,went early and got out in under an hour.
All of the People ahead of me didn't have their documents in order and were turned away.
Sometimes it is the people who make it hard on themselves,the instructions were clearly stated on the website yet they failed to abide by them.
Needless to say the poor souls who came for their appointment times had a very long wait and were pissed

[eitech]

I made an appointment in april this year and they gave me a date in april 2010. Lo and behold i get a txt on friday to show up on nov. 6th...i asked a padna who lives pos to pick up a form for me and he was told that he cud make copies

[idlemind]

Just an FYI

I went for my appointment yesterday and was told that my affidavit wasnt worded aptly for my cause...so i got a new date to come back.

The officer told me that you can still fly as long as your old Passports are valid.

Mine being 2013, means I can still fly without my machine readable til then.

So theres no 2009/2010 deadline on old passports....as yet.

I find this is a gray area, I asked many immigration people on the phone and they said that they cannot say for certain if that is the case with old passports.

Can you let me know who you contacted? (PM if necessary)

[wagonrunner]

Soem countries are denying you entry if you do not have a machine readable passport.
Sadly it doesn't apply to me, so i can't recall which ones.
will have to get that info later.

[idlemind]

silent_riot, I cant say...my contact pulled some strings on the upper floors.

wagonrunner, Im concerned with that same sentiment given the recent travelling situation.

I was assured I'll be able to travel to Miami in February, but Im concerned when I get there, I dont really want to encounter trouble.

Is the US part of those countries?

[Chimera]

this is a 2 year old source tho

The United States require machine readable passports, however this requirement only applies to the 27 visa waiver countries (the Philippine is not part of the visa waiver program). As for the rest of the world there is no requirement to have machine readable passports as condition for entry yet.



So...once you have a visa for the country..you good to go?

I doubt their embassy gonna give you a visa on a old passport, to in turn be rejected by immigration when you reach

[idlemind]

Same thing Im thinking.

And I kno for sure the US embassy here are still assigning new VISAs based on old passports
