But usually when I go, it takes three trips. The first two to find out they've given out all the numbers for the day/they're closing early/they're not open at all. The third to wait for a few hours, then find out I'm missing something, emergency call to DH to run down to meet me, and finally, get the all important card. I'm so glad I'm now stamped til 2012!

Things were simpler 40 years ago - I registered just the once at Dublin Castle and that seemed to be it. What a day!

I sure can empathize with you when it comes to the immigration dept in this country or any other country. I know "Spike" well : ( hey cheryl…it was great to see you with daughter and son on Saturday.

And to think the title of your previous post was 'Piercing the Mundane'. I'm sure it was well and truly pierced today, including the 'pierced' lip. Things can only get better. Oh my God what a day.

I'm a green card holder in Florida and lost my card a few weeks prior to a trip to Germany. I scrambled around Miami in similar fashion. In desperation, I had my pictures taken in a spotty back room of an establishment called "The Haitian Driving School." Ah, the memories. Hope your paperwork is in the clear!

For the first three years he was married, they must have requested his fingerprints 20 times. And just for something small like that, he'd have a 3-hour wait.
