i waited six weeks to get a visa to enter the "UK."
today i was told the visa application center in Karachi had messed up my fingerprints, so my visa was not issued. first i was yelled at for their mistakes. then, i was asked to re-apply and wait another 6 weeks to see if i would be issued a visa. the fingerprints are necessary so that they can be scanned by the british embassy in islamabad to determine whether or not i am a convict, felon and/or a potential threat. funny, considering i've been to the "UK" and back over a 50 times (and i've lived there almost 4 years). i'm not the one they should be worried about. somehow the people who stay illegally, make it through easily, and someone who wants and needs a break... well here she is. sick and tired and miserable of it all.
