These embassy people are a..ss..holes. I sent the complete package to embassy -- original copy of everything. I had to spend around 25 dollars because return tracking can only be done if it is express shipping. Those mofos returned back my application saying the printed area on paper is not right (it was only a small difference) and mistakenly i had left one field empty for passport details. They had my original passport.
I heard we can renew passport in New York. Is it open on Saturday too? Thanks.
