I'm scheduled to work abroad in 3 weeks but just got my passport?
You won't be needing any excuse. Just explain them the situation you are going through and request to extend reporting date and time. Don't breach their level of trust maintained with you, they may have handled certain cases before and most likely at first step you are caught. I am not sure what this may lead to but definitely not a way out you wish for. Be who you really are. Let's destiny decide your fate. Good luck Thanks.
