Thanks for all the replies
@My3Kiddos Thank you!
I have been having the same problems of concierge services wanting different documentation (not to mention the fees). His need for a visa application also arose with short notice. His school is just an hour away, so I was going to drive there with everything and take him to the post office to process, and have it expedited (they were really good with his passport). My other option is to take him to the passport office when he gets home in 2 weeks. All his visa documentation has to be submitted ASAP with an absolute deadline of June 1
Yes this is incredibly stressful.
