thanks to.... jno zacsmaster mikey0118 snags grasscarp fredpuli47 craft1948 Buenchico DeeSa and anyone else for the help given last week re US Embassy visit. Mission completed today and got a result albeit after 5 hours plus.
PS sounds like the good old days - back before they invented the visa waiver scheme there were huge queues outside the embassy every day. I had to take a whole day off work to apply, and had to have a letter from my boss promising that I was due back at my desk in 2 weeks.
