Okay Eric -- TOO MUCH INFORMATION

I am beyooooooond frustrated.
I had a mini breakdown this morning in front of the Manhattan Federal Building. I had to schedule a 2nd infopass appointment for this morning at 7:45am because yesterday they gave Squito no helpful information and told him that he needs to ask his wife to put a "tracer" (whatever the fluck that means) on the check to prove that it has been cashed. When I relayed that message to my bank representative she simply told me that the person who gave us that info "doesn't know what she's talking about"
I figured.
Anyhoo, so I accompanied Mr. Squito this morning to the infopass appointment. After waiting for damn near half an hour to be called up to the window (it was eerily reminiscent of the infamous Kingston Embassy experience) I showed the immigration officer the two rejection notices, the NOA's that were received, the cancelled checks, etc. He immediately realized the error but was unsure of how to fix it. He sent us upstairs to the 9th floor, to the EAD room. Once there, we waited for another 20 minutes only to be called up by the most idiotic, unhelpful, rude, ugly, nasty demonic immigration officer ever. He wouldn't even allow me to explain my case because he simply looked at the rejection notice and said he cannot help me. I'm like
mothereffer you didn't even hear the problem to know that you can't solve it!!!
He pretty much dismissed us. I walked away loudly calling him an a$$hole, everyone in the room could sense my disgust. We want back downstairs to the fellow that send us up to the EAD room. He suggested that I write a new check and save myself the hassle of trying to correct the problem. He figured that it's more time than it's worth to try to solve it and attempted to rationalize my loss my telling me that it's only a $10 difference.
This is soooo not about the money. There is a little something called principal. If it had been my error, I would have had to fix it. But it's their error and I end up paying for the same thing twice. Bastards....
On a happier note, Joanna...congrats on the interview date, it'll be here in no time!
Darah, congrats on Henry's daughter getting her visa
So what ended up happening. Was there no one else you could talk to since the first person realized that it was their mistake????

Oops, sorry didn't read your last timeline entry till just now
I'm sure that this DNA test will cost well over 1000$ by the way 
less is best
WOW I cannot believe it..the embassy responded and emailed the information they needed in less than two hours I cannot believe it. 
Wow... I think that's a record for the Embassy!
I actually had a lady call me about starting my own business as a travel agent. I haven't returned her call, maybe I should 
I never get to see Tony or any of my friends and family. When I'm at home everyone else is at work and vice versa. Now they tell me I have to work Saturday too
