visa form block capitals?

[trish432]

I`ve downloaded visa forms for a friend. The forms state that it must be filled in block capitals. I was wondering what to do about the email address, as, if capitals are used it will be incorrect email address

i dont think that email addresses are case sensitive

Unless the email address in case sensitive it should be ok. Alternatively just write it they way it is normally written. If it is questioned then he/she can explain it to them.

Thanks both of you, I think I`ll use the capitals.

Techie answer, the part before the @ sign is sometimes case sensitive, the part after the @ isn't.

Sensible answer, do it in block capitals, everyone knows that email addresses are always in lowercase

Thank you, all of you, I`ve advised her to use capitals.
They`re taking the forms to Birmingham today, and supposed to be travelling to Goa on Sunday.
They are hoping to wait in the queue and actually get the visas today, as they have done in the past.
Does anyone know if this will be possible? as some sites I have been looking at seem to suggest that it will take 2-4 working days.

When I went to Goa in December, applied for visa a couple of weeks in advance as told it's no longer possible to turnup and queue.
And I filled in email address in lower case without it being questioned.

just an update, in case anyone else is interested, they`re back from Birmingham, without their visas, they were told it takes 2-4 working days.
They`ve been told to go back tomorrow at 3pm, but that it doesn`t mean they`ll necessarily get them.
If they don`t thats their holiday money down the drain.
How anyone can wait until the last minute for something so important, I don`t know.
Like i said previously, they have got them same day before, but they shoul have allowed for change.
