I was just browsing through most of the threads and came across this one..i found it really interesting and was kinda amazed at how so many ppl are being harassed by Our Embassy Officials in DC..I was in DC two months ago to renew my passport..I went to the Embassy and tried to fill out forms..I couldnot find any forms and no employees in sight..so I started to climb stairs..The door that i knocked on was supposed to remain shut..i had no idea who was in there..and the door was ajar..I just peeked in..There was a man reading a newspaper..I just asked for some forms to fill out..He didnot even look at me ..He just said go downstairs and wait On my way down I bumped into this tamang ass hole...He was mad that I came upstairs..What was i supposed to do?...he asked my full name..He looked at me and said do u know so and so??..He was a minister at that time.,I just said yeah he is my uncle..I got my passport renewed in 20 freaking minutes.. Moral of the story.. "Tamang is aopportunist asshole" "Make sure that u have connections..(sketchy will do)"..
