Hi
Bobby1, all the documents can be copies EXCEPT police certificates, as far as I know. ALL the copies need to be certified be a Commisioner of Oaths (you can find a list of solicitors that offer this service on the internet).
I think the employment documentation needs to be signed or verified by your employers aswell.
I don't know how long we will have to go without our passports, but I can't imagine it would be a very long time; I think they only ask for the original passport when you have been given a visa, when we get our requests we will just send a copy.
It is nice to see everyone sympathising.....and supporting each other, a shared frustration is much easier to bear,
