My passport expires on Sept 2015 (Dependent Spouse), On 9th Mar 2015 we received a call from NDVO asking us if we wanted to be issued PPR or if we wanted to extend my (Dependent Spouse) passport. We asked the lady on the phone (NDVO) if she can send the PPR and once the passport (OLD) is stamped with Visa we could transfer it to the new passport. She said this is not possible. Options she gave us are as follows.
1. Stamp Visa valid upto Sept 2015, even though our Medicals are valid till Feb 2016.
2. Put the application on hold, I extend my passport, send the notaried new passport copies (This case we will get Visa valid upto Feb 2016 as our medicals are valid upto Feb 2016).
3. Sending the existing (OLD) Passport and later extending the passport - NOT POSSIBLE.
We opted option 2 and send the renewed passport copies, now waiting waiting waiting.... Also, we emailed NDVO on 30th Mar 2015.
