WEll,
today I found out theat as much as Europe is trying to be one coutry, they never will be.
I'm going to France, Italy, and Austria one June 3 in a tour.
France-3 Days
Italy-6 days
Austria- 2 days
There is a French consulate 29 miles from my house. I skip school and go there to request a visa for my trip (I am an INdian citizen for those who don't know...). AND THEY TURNED ME DOWN!!!
They said that I had to apply at the country that is my MAIN destination. It said if you don't have a MAIN destination, you should apply at the first country you enter.
So 3 countries, no main destination? Yeah riiiiiiiight. I have to apply at the Italian COnsulate because we are staying there the most days.
And of course, you'd think the Italian Consulate is a few streets down. NO! It's in godamn Miami. And I'm in ATL. So now I have two choices:
1) Remain Indian and go down to Miami with my dad and get that visa
-or-
2) claim US citizenship through my mom and dad (both are US citizens) and go with out a visa.
So which one? I dunno which one, and I really coundn't care a lot.... If I'm becoming naturalized, I lose a 764 trip....and if I don't I'll have to explain a few paragraphs of speech to every customs/immigration person I see...
