Fiance Visa - Lost previous passports due to house fire
« on: February 02, 2017, 07:45:01 PM »
Hi All,

Just a quick question this time. My fiancee lost all of her previous passports in a house fire a few years ago and only has her current passport. I am assuming this won't be an issue but i wanted to check.

Thanks everyone :)

No issue.  They ask about previous passports and where they are.  She should just answer that they've been destroyed.

Honestly, no need.  I'd just have her answer the question in the application and move on.  I have a cancelled passport that went missing (lots of us do).  It's not unusual at all.

I had two previous expired passports, one lost for good and one not yet returned from being renewed (they send the new one first and then the old one back later), and it was not a problem at all.  I just said they were lost.
