The passport situation is real toomfoolery. My passport expire in 2005 and get extended bout 3 times now. Every time I call the DC consulate they telling me new passports not yet available. I down to 3 blank pages. Yuh mean yuh can't allocate passports for the foreign based?

I making a couple turns next year and two pages already put aside for visa stamps. Maybe i will get a new passport once all meh pages used up.

I believe everyone need to have the new passport by 2009. I went to renew my VISA and they only give me 1 year on my F-1 when I have a couple years left in college. My passport also expires in 2012. My daughter got her passport home in a few days.

Any person born in Trinidad and Tobago is entitled to a free (first copy) of the new Computer Generated Birth certificates (CBC) please go to the web-site www.legalaffairs.gov.tt and down load the application for a new birth certificate.

(which can then be mailed back to us) There are embassy offices in Washington DC., Florida and New York City. I have been told by Mr De Leon If enough of us on the West Coast receive our new Birth Certificates and we contact the T& T Embassy in Washington DC it will be arranged for a representative to come to the West Coast to take our photos as well as fingerprints so that we may receive our new passports without having to travel to Washington DC to do so.

Please forward this information to as many nationals as you know so that we may all get our new birth certificates as well as passports. (You will also see information for children born (either parent) to nationals of T & T at the time of their birth, documents that can be downloaded for their passports.

hey TM for the birth certificate, I sent in and got mine through the mail- local courier.
I would think it is the same for overseas applicants. all you have to do is put a local address for it to be delivered to.

I should say 'supposed to be' but really- the times have been seriously reduced- especially if you send it to the NY centre

my appt. is at the end of next month (called to make the appt. abt 9 months ago)... if i could pay to get it rushed i would do that. i already missed out on 2 vacations w/ my family b/c of the amt of time i had to wait for this appointment. anyways what u mean by 3/12? 3 months? if so that's a real long wait. they still have posted on their site that its taking a matter of days.lol
