U.s. Consulate Question

[robeetle]

Part of the application process for a tourist visa requires a passport which I have.

My question is, can I send a photocopy of it ?

I am very leary to send my passport ANYWHERE..

Please help.

Nope....

Where are they going to stamp your tourist visa...?????? Certainly not on a copy of your passport.

If you do not want to mail it, then carry it in, you will still have to leave it overnight however...

This is pretty standard throughout the world...

Passport are replaceable, and seldom get lost in the normal course of business.

After sending my passport for extra pages twice, and to over 30 consulates for business visa, I don't give it a thought.

Send it USP express mail registered, I have obtained several visas for India and never a problem just give yourself enough time before departure. You have to enclose return postage as well.
