Hi!

I have a question, regarding my application.

So both me and my wife have our passport from a Country that needs visa, but my wife has double nationality, and her 2nd passport is from a visa-exempt country. Both of her passports are filed in her application.

I already paid for both PPR fees, and still waiting for DM and PPR.

My question is, is there any way to ask for her to get a CoPR instead of a PPR? And Immigration to use her European passport?

That way, she wouldn't need to send her passport, plus I could ask for a refund of the $490 of her PPR.

If somebody knows, please let me know, thanks !!!

Everyone has to pay RPRF 490$ no matter which country you're from. My husband has dual citizenship as well and two passports, both from visa exempt country. When you filled your generic form you entered your wife's passport number and you have to go with that passport. You can't use the other one.

And you can't get direct copr, you have to send copy of the passport and two pictures of each applicant in two envelopes so you can get the copr back.
