But, like all immigrants, I live in fear of discovering I made a minor error, with catastrophic consequences.

Or, worse, that they made a mistake and won't admit it. When we put in the initial Petition last year, they had a list of the required documents and a Strong Warning against enclosing anything else. This list did not include my birth certificate.

So, of course, they bounced it for not including my birth certificate...

It probably didn't cost us more than a month and possibly $20,000 or so (the pound was falling when we finally moved).

The Amber Room is probably lost for good, but we do have Priam's Treasure back again...
