Visa Hell Part #28

Mom came home and found several frantic messages from the Romanian embassy on the phone. Apparently, the representative was not able to get the required signature. So, she is Fed-Exing everything back, including my passport. I can enter the country with only my passport. Then, I have to go to the police station in Timisoara with all my (English) documentation and have them give me a form. Am I optimistic? Hell no.

At least I get my $105.00 money order back (if I can find the receipt). I'm still out $25.00 for the shipping. Oh...and I have to pay for the shipping back to me. So, I wasted $50.00 for nothing.

Oh, and why couldn't the embassy have told me this *before* I went to all the trouble of getting everything together on time? I could have walked into the police station when I arrived and did everything there.
