Passport questions

[redbulldz]

Hello,

Our test is scheduled for March 17th and i got few questions.

1- My wife's previous passport was damaged, the Embassy kept it but we have no proof. She didn't travel, only used it to get here. Would that be an issue? Should we add a notarized sworn statement stating why she doesn't have it? We landed in April 2016 and passport was renewed early 2018

2- I have few stamps in Arabic on my old passport. They're outside the eligibility period but the passport is not. I know i have to translate them. Do you think i should do so even when the year is clearly mentioned (2014, 2015)? The Tunisian stamps have the month in Arabic while the Egyptian ones have to be translated in full as they don't use conventional numbers.

3- Should we show the kids passports too?

Thanks for your help

Re #2, I’ve just been through a similar exercise. For any passport that was valid during the time you were PR (even if it is cancelled / expired at present) must have ALL non-Eng/Fr stamps, visas and hand notifications must be translated. I specifically clarified this with the officer at the time of the interview. To be on the safe side, any thing that the officer cannot read, get it translated. For the photocopies, include the blank pages as well.
