Lost passport

A friend applied to the US Embassy for a visa recently. They said they would get it delivered by Aramex. So he waited and waited and it did not appear. With the day of travel looming ever nearer he enquired and finally it was admitted that someone had lost it!!! So he had to rush off and get a new passport (luckily we have a great service there) and have the US Embassy put the visa in. All managed to be done in time but with a great deal of stress and the worrying loss of a passport which had other visas in it.

So - be warned if you are applying for a US visa that your passport might be lost!!! T
