A revamped British passport is all set to come in your hands. De La Rue has managed to bag the contract to design and produce this new look passport as stated by the Identity and Passport Service.
The immigrants will be able to use this new passport from October, 2010. The security features of this passport will be far tighter and it will also be equipped to store the finger-print biometrics within the passport. This new passport will reduce the risk in identity theft and the nation’s borders will be secured due to the process.
For the immigrants who always are required to carry the international travel documents, this passport will mean less hassle. As the IPS Chief Executive James Hall observes “The British passport is recognized as one of the best in the world and we want to keep it that way. Today we are affirming our commitment to making this travel document more secure than ever by using fingerprint biometrics”.
The British immigrants will be able to easily go forward with their travel plans across any country of the world due to the compact storage of definite information within it. The concerned authorities are of the opinion that it was extremely necessary for revamp of the British passport in order to keep pace with the changes in the security measures that are the need of the hour.

This is particularly important for the religious workers. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has called for the special immigrant religious workers who are still awaiting their petition for Amerasian, widow(er), of Special Immigrant, in accordance with the Form I-360. Their filing for the application with regard to permanent residence of Adjustment in Status is required to complete all the formalities within the 31st of August, 2009 through Form I-485.
This is a serious reminder issued by USCIS due to the content of the publication that came under the U.S. Department of State. One can refer to the September 2009 Visa Bulletin, where it is stated that the visas for employment with regard to the fourth preference category will no longer be available from the 1st of September, 2009. The special immigrant religious workers come under its purview. A suitably filed Form I-485 that is based on either the pending or approved Form I-360 seeks the classification of the special religious immigrant workers into the following categories: minister (SD-1), non-minister (SR-1), or I-485 applications that are in concurrence with the I-360 petitions, within the specified date.
Those immigrant religious workers who do not fall under the purview of the September 30, 2009 sunset date and who fail to file their applications before the August 31st, 2009, need to wait for the fourth preference in order to seek an adjustment of their status.
