In case of spouse, she had applied online and paid fees. Later, we read they alway sent you a blank form to fill. We enclosed filled up paper application form too to avoid delays. It worked as they considered Paper application (Paper application number was used as reference). However, they processed application based on fees paid via online.

Hey Guys!!! I just want to ask if there's anyone here who had there address changed during their passport application process. I had my interview last January 2,2015 in Victoria and I asked the interviewer to send the passport to my university address as I am living in accommodation.On January 7,2015 I received a letter saying that they were not satisfied about the information that I have provided and the reason of this is because of my address. They asked me to send some proof of address so I sent them my tenancy agreement and bank statement stating my address in university. I'm just wondering if theres anyone encountered the same situation as mine and I want to know how long did it take for them to change your address and actually received your passport? Im bothered because I booked a trip to Paris next Friday because I was expecting to get my passport this week. I didn't know there will be complications on the delivery address.

Thank you for taking your time reading and I hope you could help me

In that case, I apologise for posting. I know it's only for application timeline. I was just hoping someone could help and went through the same situation as mine since we're all applying and waiting for their passports. I could'n't find any topics that can relate to my situation that's why I posted on this thread.
