yeah, well they don't seem to care anyways, so it's not much of a big deal. besides, that would explain why I have gotten nowhere with 5 of them the last 3 weeks as they are gearing up for that huge vacation time. Wish I made $125,000+ per year and got 2 months off out of the year PLUS regular vacation time off.
But maybe you will have better luck with them actually in state? Are you sure they know of your situation? Or is just the office workers that know? A possible face to face meeting with them may produce different results.
