Well, at last I got through to a lawyer, and he indicated that all the materials I have been gathering relative to my visa pplication won’t do. There are two very specific things I can submit, I don’t have either, so now I’m back to start and seeking the correct versions. Departure now sometime toward the end of August, if all goes according to plan.
Auuugggghhhh indeed. So sorry about all this trouble. If I knew a prayer for victory in the face of bureaucracy, I’d be sending it up now. Hoping all goes well THIS time.
