Many details are omitted from this story, so as not to have any chance of anyone getting in trouble.

So I applied for a visa to some place that isn’t the United States. A visa process which is very very complicated, annoying, and confusing. I need these documents, those documents, and another place says I don’t need them, and no place on the visa’s website is there one clear instruction as to what to do. So I do my best, I over send money, I send my application, I send pictures, passports, the whole 9 yards. I sent my application with a return overnight envelope and address, so that Saturday, they returned my envelope saying it was incomplete listing a couple of things, my passport was also in these documents returned to me.

Monday morning I wake up to my mother violently banging on my door saying I have a package from said embassy. I look on the box, its my hand writing on the packaging slip, and its my address. So I sit down, I open the box, hoping for good news, but what I find are 100+ passports from that country. The Embassy mistakenly sent to me over 100+ other people’s passports.

I sit there for a minute, I Think, what the hell do I do? I Tried calling the Embassy, no one picked up, no one ever does. I called FedEx, they said bring it in, we’ll send it back. So that of course was the main plan. I remember my cousin knew the consulate, so I let him know about the story, he immediately called the consulate, then my cousin called me back with instructions. He said to also include my application, and that it would be handled personally. So that’s what I did, I went back to fedex, complete application, fees and all, and passports, along with a letter. Send that package back in no time, and now just waiting on my visa.
