The Wheels Turn Slowly

It's truly amazing how many systems fail when you're trying to move quickly from one country to another.

My wife is trying to get her passport renewed. She sent it in seven weeks ago with our state issued, state sealed, official marriage license. One week ago, when she should have recieved her new passport, she recieved a letter saying that the marriage license was not the right one. So she had to pay the expediting fee and overnight some more identifying documents to the US Department of State. I'm convinced it's a moneymaking scheme for the DoS and FedEx.

Forget about anyone promptly responding to your emails too.
