:eek: I can hardly believe it.. I really didn't expect this so soon. I am still stunned...My husband got the e-mail today!!! The request for PPR e-mail!!!!!! :eek: :eek: ;D ;D ;D ;D

So in process August 2nd, and PPR on August 8th!! We have 20 days to get his passport to them in LA.

by the way, the e-mail only offers instructions for mailing the passport from within the States or Canada, but we are in Taiwan. Does that mean that instructions for Canada basically apply to us? As in, we don't send the return envelop like the instructions for within the States said?

I hear you!!! Scott returned to Nevada in June just for that reason. It's not good for their mindset to not be able to work. Men want to be the providers... He'll return to Ontario mid October, I'm counting the days now... :'(
