I tried to renew my sons' passports and I had three women around me (obviously
undercover policewomen) with one trying to deny my request. I had been there a
few times before with them refusing saying that I needed the boys' father to
write me my permission to get their passports, etc. Now, they were trying to
get other reasons to deny me by stating that I needed their original birth
certificates to be sent with the books. I said that doesn't make any sense
since the US Department already saw the original and had a copy of it. They
were trying to tell me to start the process over by putting in a new request
for passports--I told her "no". She also wanted me to mail in the application,
and I refused that as well. I told her that the passports would be sent back
to me if I sent it to the State Department especially since the boys are under
16 years of age. I said I am not going to send their original birth
certificates because I don't need to especially since this is a
renewal. I asked her whether I would have been given an easier time if I did
not have a hijab. I received no response except for a polite request "to not
leave". I wrote my check and gave them the paperwork, only after it was
checked quite thoroughly by more than a few people (most of them seemed amazed
that I was able to fill out the instructions). During the midst of this
scenario, we had a little audience. Apparently, the "nosy parkers" who came by
felt that I must have downloaded a copy of the passport via the net and was
giving them paperwork that was invalid. Also, there was talk that a birth
certificate could be easily had from the internet--all this I wasn't aware of
but I realized that I do not have many friends in this stupid small town
(Wadesboro, NC) that I live in, and that some of them might be
criminally-inclined (especially with their innuendoes).
Anyway, here is a travesty where Palestinian students lost their scholarships
because of Israeli denials for their visas--Yaa'Allah.....
