Hi all,

So I sent in my passport to get the PR stamp and found out later that my granddad passed away. Now I need to fly overseas i.e. need the passport back, to attend the funeral.
Can I just go and ask for the passport and return it to the embassy for the PR visa when I get back?

Anyone else have to do something like this?

Thanks

I don't know how it works for things like that, i'd expect you probably will just have to wait it out for the passport :(
Maybe PMM or someone will have a more positive response, sorry to hear though :(

You have to wait for the passport back. Once it is gone you have to wait.

Thanks for the kind words all, but this worked out.
I just took in my passport and they stamped it in 30 minutes and i was able to travel.
