Immigration SUCKS

[joeychen]

So, I have to send in another application, get new photos done, new fingerprints etc etc etc. And probably wait over a year again, to get my new green card. Guess I won't be applying for citizenship anytime soon!
This is so friggen frustrating, they are the ones that fucked up, and I'm the one that has to do all the work, and take time off for an appt to fix this.
I was so upset it made me cry, I just want my damn green card!

Yuck, I'm glad all I have is a 45 min drive up to San Francisco. And I should have an appt time etc. I'll ask them when I go in if I should wait till I get a corrected card before I file for citizenship, or if I can do it anyway.
Hopefully going in in person, I will get better help and some more answers.
I had to call again this morning to ask a question about the e-filing, they had listed 3 different Australia options in the e-file form, and they themselves didn't know what the difference was! They listed AUSTRALIA, and then 3 different suffixes - -TASMA, -RALIA and -NORFO.
Now the last one is probably for Norfolk Island, a kinda territory of ours, but the first one seems to be Tasmania, which is just a regular old state. I don't know why they would list it out seperate like that. Under their advisement I went with the -RALIA option. However if in a year I get a new card and find out that means I'm from the Christmas Islands or something, I will probably go in there and go postal or something.
