Thanks for yr reply. In India, renewal of passports has been stopped..they issue new passports and for visa validities longer than the validity date of passports, they return the old passport, too. Now if I apply for a new passport, I will be delaying the process atleast by 6 weeks. So I am going ahead with the existing one which is valid till Oct 04. Do I have to inform CHC Delhi about the new passport for my daughter in case we decide to leave after OCt 04?
