LA for visa...buono!
Steve and I left this morning at 4:30 for Los Angeles with hopes of meeting with a visa agent at the Italian Consulate some time today. Without an appointment, we were risking it but we felt, with less than two months before our planned departure we had nothing to lose.
It was tense at times but eventually we were seen. Patricia, the agent, was familiar with our case and she said, "I'm the one who makes the decision. While I can't tell you 100% until I can review all your documents, what I see so far looks really good." She might even have said "promising".
We went directly to the grocery store for a bouquet of flowers for her and biscotti for the male receptionist. We just hope they both know how much we appreciate their help. No we wait for two to three weeks. We are more hopeful than ever. Italy... here we come!
