Obtaining A Visa...Round Two

I went to an office that Rafaella suggested may be able to help me understand what paperwork is necessary to bring to the United States to obtain my visa. The man was very helpful (after I asked for help with a visa and he instructed me to go across the street to the bank and I had to clarify I needed a visa to stay here to which he replied...ohhhh...visto) and let me know that my office here would need to obtain nulla osta for me. If the nulla osta is in fact obtained it will be sent electronically to the United States. This process usually takes about thirty days which is perfect timing. The only problem is that no nulla ostas will be issued before the fifth of April as they are changing the issuing regime currently in place as one of the people are currently in prison. It looks like I may have to make another appointment at the consulate and then change my flight to stop back in Chicago if necessary! The good thing is that the bus I needed came right away so I didn't have to wait to long. Plus on my way to the bus I saw my friend Eliana and her husband Andrea. I love running into people on the streets! A great start to the day.
