Called them again today and was told that they have received my letter and is in progres...

This is quite confusing to be honest - I called IPS and was advised by one person that I'll need to send BOTH passports (Expired and Valid); called back again and was advised differently that I need to send ONLY the valid (Blank) passport... Which is which?!?!? I think I'll just send both.... Confus...
