You send in your files digitally before you ever come in and they can tell you if you are missing something. Genius!<br /><br />Steal away! My German is still terrible, but über-pünktlich is pretty good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192879773898298306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147884999043106013.post-80202805615590490962012-07-17T10:23:13.282+02:002012-07-17T10:23:13.282+02:00Oh the Ausländerbehörde...

The paperwork thing with them is just out of control, no? My husband might actually have a fit the next time one of his co-workers brings over a printed out email to ask a question - an email that they've already sent him. *sigh*<br /><br />They obviously were responsive to you because you showed you were following the directions given to you. The only thing the Germans love more than paperwork: rules! We've gotten the whole we-haven't-heard-from-the-other-office/you-mean-you-don't-have-the-forms-that-weren't-on-this-list-? so-you'll-have-to-come-back-AGAIN thing before too. So frustrating. <br /><br />And I'm loving über-pünktlich. Gonna have to find a way to use that one soon...shoegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900008048011150088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147884999043106013.post-71375294820019943832011-06-17T05:19:41.679+02:002011-06-17T05:19:41.679+02:00This was an interesting read, although it probably...This was an interesting read, although it probably wasn't that interesting to live it. Always enjoy your humor and perspective. Like that addition of tags for future searching. Loved this photo of you and friends. Would like the amazon.com link moved nearer the top of the site. Hope the next time to the visa office is magical and productive!!~ cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026369780656093307noreply@blogger.com
