Tragical

So the process of getting my visa for England has been one of the most painful processes of my entire life!....last Thursday we finally finished the application and sent it to the consulate. We paid the $150 expedite fee for a two day turn around which should have brought the visa to our doorstep today. Hmmmm no visa and no confirmation that it was ever even initially processed.

Here begins the saga of the stinking visa Part II: The code marking it as a priority application was on the outside of the manilla envelope we took to UPS. Here is the important deathly part. UPS put our envelope into a UPS envelope for mailing thus covering the code and thus resulting in the placement of my application in the pile with all standard processes visa applications...which take 2 months to return. So what's the big deal, why not just call the consulate?...because apparently the consulate has no telephone, somehow I do not believe this...and thus are entirely unreachable.

Why not reapply you might ask? I can not reapply because they have my passport. Thus making it impossible for me to even leave the country as a tourist. Death
