A PICTURE!!!!

Ok, this is NOT the picture you were waiting for, but it was a good teaser, wasn't it? Yeah, well it's the same type of teaser I got yesterday! See this envelope?

It is supposed to be a ticket with an appointment to get fingerprinted with at the immigration office. But it's not! Instead its a letter letting me know they've received my $836 check and have created a file with my name on it, and will be sending me a ticket at a later date. Isn't that nice of them to let me know I now have a file? Now why in the world wouldn't they process the whole thing at once, giving me a date, print the ticket to mail to me instead of this letter telling me they'll send me a ticket "later"? No wonder the federal government wastes so much money.
