Hi Everyone,

Hope your visa journey's are all going well! My passport is starting to get to the point where it needs to be renewed (can't believe it's almost 2010 already!), and I have a few questions.

How many people need to sign the form and back of photo? I have heard that only one person is required, but also that 2 people are required. Can anyone help me out with this?

Also, do they need to be a teacher, doc, etc? I have 2 British friends who work regular jobs (one in marketing, one that does admin work). Is it okay to use my friends? Or do I need to get it sent back to the UK to have a friend (or two) sign it (I have one with a medical degree and one with a law degree)? Obviously it would be much more convenient to have a British friend over here (or perhaps 2) sign it.

One last question concerns the photo size. Do I need to see if I can find somewhere which will take the phone with the UK photo size requirement or are US passport photo's okay?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with these questions. Much appreciated!
