visa, part 1

I had all the paperwork. I had an appointment and arrived with plenty of time to grab a cup of coffee and pray. When I stepped up to the counter, I knew something was “off.”

It was December 17, one week before Christmas Eve. The workers at the Consulate were over-worked and over-stressed. And I came with my paperwork…. for the wrong kind of visa.

So, after some harsh words from the Consulate worker, I will regroup, fill out more paperwork and schedule a new appointment with the consulate.
