Firstly, Grace, I should thank you for taking the time to communicate with
Immigration. I suppose I should not have any issues since Fiji and Kenya
international relations allow me to come into the country freely (fingers
crossed). ;)

I agree with Fouad's proposal. I am surprised that inking out a *copy* of a
document constitutes tempering.  Privacy is a right normally afforded to
people. I agree, if the information is going to be distributed into the
Public list *please* remove my name. I will explain the rationale of my not
wanting the information disclosed on the public mailing list. With all that
I have been exposed to in cyber security, people can use one's Passport
Number to gain access into information about one that could not only
jeapordise one's personal information, compromise bank accounts and even
gain access if they knew what they were doing into any association or
affiliated organisations networks. In Australia, alone it was recently
reported that it is estimated that cyber crimes costs the Australian economy
AUD 1 Million, see:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10752093

For most jurisdictions passport numbers are similar to National Identity
Numbers and as such are linked to a host of other databases.

Best Regards,

Sala
