So I have reached what I refer to....in my head, as the summer construction part of my move. Why? Summer construction is always ill timed, it interrupts what would other wise be a quick, seamless and pain free experience. It adds unnecessary time to your journey...ok ok I bet you get it.
So I'm in my summer construction phase of moving abroad. I now have no idea where my passport or employment visa is. Did I lose it...NOPE. I drove 5 hours to Washington DC to drop my paperwork off in person to avoid this VERY thing. Problem is...summer construction. The company that had been handling and processing the Visa's here in the USA for travel to India, changed to a new contractor the week after I went. Was I worried? NOPE. Why would I worry? I did everything right LOL...the new company emailed me yesterday to say they don't "have it currently" I don't know what that means...but they have 6 weeks to find it or I may have to bring the thunder LOL LOL. This should give an idea of what is going on in the US with this transition. Visa chaos
Second snag, the school I will be teaching at helps to handle the relocation costs for shipping. So what did I do, chose a company the school has no partnership with, so instead of billing the school this company has to bill me...my fault my fault. I mean, there goes my summer money out the window, but not even really that bothered. Am I panicked yet...NOPE.
Then the shipping company that was coming this MONDAY to pick up my stuff informs me that they cannot ship my items without my passport and visa....oh the ones that are lost somewhere in an office or bin in DC?!?! Oh ok. And for some reason the guy keeps asking me when do I think I will get them!!! How many ways can one say, "I HAVE NO CLUE" He's nice and all but COME ON!
The good news is, I got my background check...I apparently am not a criminal LOL
