I haven't been on in a while. Actually, I haven't been getting the emails. Anyway, we got our ER visas yesterday. I was concerned they wouldn't see us because there was an accident on the train tracks and we were delayed by over two hours, and the consulate usually closes at 12:00 on Fridays. I emailed them from the train, and when we arrived they agreed to see us. The guy processed our visa right away. Needless to say, we're thrilled!
