Has anyone been having problems mailing home (Ireland from U.S.) recently?? I usually write a letter/week, and Ive been told that they havent received one from me for over a month... To make matters worse, I send my PASSPORT via REGISTERED MAIL home to Ireland on January 31st, for renewal (I KNOW I could have had it renewed here, but last time I was hope I filled in the forms, had the photos taken, had the Punts ready etc etc and figured it'd be less hassle to have my dad do it for me...sigh!) - anyway my b****y passport has not arrived in Ireland - YET! I filled in a form at the P.O. to have them do a 'trace' on the mail - anyone know how SAFE REGISTERED MAIL is? Or initiated one of these 'traces' to have them locate a lost reg. mail? If the thing is lost has anyone gone thru the process of contacting the Embassy here and having a new passport re-issued? I hope it wont be too painful since I do have my registered mail receipt to 'prove' I sent it to Ireland etc - for what thats worth to the Embassy of course.... The worrying/scary thing is that IM STUCK HERE until I get my passport back/renewed/replaced!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkKKKK!!!! Ann_STUCK_in_USA!!

Actually, all you would probably need to get back into Ireland would be an old expired passport or birt cert, etc. anything to prove you are an Irish citizen. Getting BACK into the US would be the problem (unless you have a green card) of going and getting a visa stamp again. I have never had mail lost from Ireland to the USA but several times had mail from the USA to Ireland go missing. | |||||

Ann, There might be a conspiracy among us to keep you here! ;-) The USA will be all the better for it! Good luck as we certainly wouldn't you to have problems getting back here once you've left! Good luck, JO'R |
