25 steps to get a polish visa

THE VISA










Posted by Picasa

So I didn't leave to Poland, the embassy didn't give me my visa yesterday, and I was suppose to leave at 3 am.
And I had a call this morning telling me that I had the visa after 9 hours of my flight, and the nice thing that the embassy people said that this is my fault cause simply the responsible person in Poland did not confirm that I am coming with them.

So lets order the events:
1. I applied for the conferece
2. I got the acceptance of me being a delegate ( 2 weeks delay )
3. Got invitation letter ( after one week of annoucing the delegation list )
4. Got my plane ticket as its a rule to book your flight to apply for the visa
5. Applied for the visa the second day ( after getting all the documents )
6. Was asked to call after 10 days
7. Called after 12 days cause after 10 days was a Saturday and they are closed Saturdays and Sundays ( was told hat I did not get the approval of the visa with a promise that I will get it before I leave on the 17th)
8. Called the second day no answer
9. Went to the embassy yesterday and waited for 3 hours in the sun to be told that someone in Poland did not answer the email for confirming my participation in the conference
10. Went again in the afternoon and was shouted at and got a lesson in manners from the embassy's communication lady
11. Called the my airlines to change my ticket
12. Was asked to pay 70 dollars for changing the departure date
13. Phone call at 11:39 am saying that I got the confirmation of my participation of the conference and was asked to go to the embassy with consideration that they close at 12 :S:S:S 14. Ran to the embassy
15. After 1 hour of standing in the sun I called them to ask what will happened and I am from Alex and I wont have the chance to come to Cairo a lot
16. Was asked to wait for the door to be open after another lesson of manners from the communication lady of the embassy ( she s polish who doesn't speak good English nor Arabic you figure it out )
17. Was asked to enter
18. Sat for like 30 mins
19. Was asked to come at 3 to get my passport ( why did I sit for 30 mins then ) ?????
20. Went to pay my plain pelanty and was asked to come again because I didn't have the ticket with me
21. Went home got the ticket and had one drink and went back the embassy without even sitting for a couple of mins
22. Went to the embassy at 2:45 and at 3 called and was asked to wait until 3:30
23. Ran to pay the airlines pelanty
24. Ran again to get to he embassy
25. Got my passport plus some extra money that they asked by mistake ( huh ????? ) 70 pounds ????? THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME MONEY

SO mainly I felt that I am getting a visa to heaven, and I think that a ticket to heaven would be easier to take.
As much as I wanted to o to Poland as much as they helped changing this, if this happens with the embassy what will happen to me there well only time will tell.

ha ha oh yea , i just got an email from dalia our MCVPX saying that we have to have the invitation letter ( the one that i have to give to the embassy so i can get the visa ) with us when we go cause there is a chance that we might be not allowed to get into Poland if we dont have it (WTF) :S:S:S:S:S

Wish me luck.
