We haven't had the passport request yet, so time is getting
tight...........but they did e mail me to ask me to send the information
quickly so they seem to understand the urgency. The rest, I guess lies in
their hands............. but when do I think about booking flights(because
it is still just about possible) when the request comes? (if) or when the
visa arrives?. (I think skiing season will be over and I would have to take
the kids out of school a week early to go before 21st May but
..........priorities..) A 3 month extension would be brilliant - summer
holidays and landing at same time -- YES!!!
The only problem is there seems to be no way to talk to them on the phone
(or otherwise) to discuss.............or is there??
