Think you'll find its only the US who is currently obsessed with the US.

So what happened in the end? Get a new pp yet?

Yes, once the credit is used up, if you even get access to it on Teams, there will be no way to top up.

I asked about Teams dial pad availability after May 2025 for existing Skype credit users, and was told by Microsoft's AI Co-Pilot it will roll out in phases, so there could be a gap whilst waiting of having no dial pad when Skype ends and waiting for it on Teams. Co-Pilot then went on to cheekily offer recommendations of alternative VoIP services to use during the gap period!

Please keep us updated kind sir how this turns out for you. Some of us are applying like you later in the year and next year.

I agree it is a shambles ! Blamed partly on the move from Liverpool to Corby but it goes deeper than that, losing your passport has to be the ultimate f### up !! What next ? Presumably they are fast tracking a new passport for you ? Unless I am mistaken @kidneyw is not saying he lost his passport but the UK is asking for lost passport forms to be completed for some mistaken reason on the UK side? I assume he applied normally through VFS, showed his real pp, still holds it and sent off copies and everything else as verified by VFS.

When we only got 15 days visa exempt, 7 days extensions and thought nothing of 100THB/d overstays. Not my first visit, but the older passport was stolen before scanners became a thing.

Lets hope Bob doesn't give up his day job.

I thought Zostavax/SkyRoster was only one shot and less than 50% as effective as Shingrix?

When you are in a hole, stop digging. #Lunacy.

Other countries are ripping off USA! Appreciate math isn't always a strong subject for some.

Lol! The US has 5% of the worlds population and 30% of its GDP. Who is ripping who off?

You didn't quote the next sentence - wonder why duh? He had lived and worked in the country legally since 2019, when an immigration judge granted him "withholding of removal" status, a rare alternative to asylum, over the threat to his life from gang violence in El Salvador if deported. At the time of his deportation in 2025, he was living in Maryland with his wife and child, both American citizens, and reporting to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) annually.
