    since when would a travel agent be qualified to answer such a question?
    the O.P asked if anyone had personal experience of this,I am pretty sure she would use this as a starting point and not taken it on face value,after all she may have listened to your advice and ended up with a "note" which any educated person knows is not the same as a witnessed letter.

    Whats with the bold words?

    Thank you for the Advice - I've called the U S embassy! and it's not just a simple note. The Consent form needs to be witnessed and the advice give on here with regards what needs to be included has proved very helpful. And to the one who think they were being smart by trying to make me look stupid - you have made yourself look very very silly!

    Glad you got it sorted :)

    Im glad too. How much is it to phone the embassy? (US Laptop so no pound sign) $1.50 or something? Probably on the phone for 5 mins at least so maybe cost $7.50 to find out what she had already been told.

    Take a letter.

    :D

    Your a Kn*b

    You're reported.








    ...And advised to look up the difference between 'your' and 'you're' particularly if you are going to use it to insult someone. :D
