Rule 26: Do not use a suitcase full of cotton

I've done an awful lot of filling in forms this week. It has been somewhat tedious. On Wednesday the US Consulate decided they no longer accept handwriting on your forms, so you have to fill them out online and print them. This causes a problem for me, because I don't relate to things on the screen real well when it comes to filling in the blanks. I'm also a little more careless with my spelling because I'm used to word picking up the mistakes. This means I have spent the last two and a half days filling in a total of two forms. They're done now.

Some of the instruction can be awfully confusing, and the majority are seemingly useless. For instance: Do not fold your form once printed. Prior to this online filling in regulation, the forms were mailed to you, and were folded. Why all of a sudden does it make a difference whether the forms have a crease in them or not?

Regardless, the forms are now filled in and my visa interview is in two weeks. Here's hoping I don't say something that makes me sound like a terrorist.

Thanks Holly, I thought so :P:P

Maybe I should have changed my name from something as dangerous sounding as "Tiffany Colledge", to something a bit less obvious like, "Rowesha Bin Laden" or "Achmalina Hussein".

Oh well, maybe next time.
