the trip to dc was the most bizarre thing ever. they tell you to expect an interview, police interrogation style questioning, possibly video taped; they give you this long ass list of documents and forms you must produce, and bring for close inspection; you cajole people you know into going to notaries, and make bzillions of photocopies, paper clipped and stapled neatly, sorted into organized accordion style file folders; you spend HOURS preparing, and it all boils down to 2 minutes, someone irritated, who wants to get you out of their hair, stamp, go, now. it's all done and as far as can be decifered i'm in the clear. apparently the united states immigration system is very similar to their justice system, if you have some money, meet basic qualifications, you get to skitter by under the apathetic scrutiny of tired grouchy workers, who are portrayed to be strict and menacing, but are actually all too human, and easily annoyed. yay!

dear officer e,

thankyou.
