passive sentence
I got confused when I was talking with my friend. The context was that my boss was considering who was qualified to transfer to other office. I was one of the candidates to be transferred. The other day I wanted to say to my friend that if I was chosen to be sent, I would start to prepare for the life there.
My question is that "I was chosen to be sent" is correct, rather than "I was chosen to send"? I got confused because I didn't know if I need to use two passive voices.
Thanks,

What’s the difference between Japan’s & Japanese
It is often seen in articles “Japan’s” and “Japanese,” or “America’s” and American.”
I’m able to read the articles even if there are those words, but I cannot use the words quite differently when I compose some writings.

What is "remittance portion"?
I received an invoice form my college.
In the letter, there is a statement, "Please review the contact information below to ensure it is accurate. If any changes are required, please note them on the remittance portion of the invoice."
I tried to look up "remittance portion" in dictionary, but I couldn't.
I know the meaning of "remittance" and "portion," but the sentence above doesn't make sense to me.
