Dear all,
Just a quick note.
Since my responses to Bonefacio, I have received 207 e-requests for
assistance with this matter.
Please excuse my inability to assist or even personally respond to 206 of
those requests.
Almost all have requested - that info be found about their application. Must
reiterate that the Goa Consulate is the best place to check........ for
those who have applied through Goa.
I kow that information is all computerised for some time now. If there is
info, you should be able to find out, the inherant problems with the Goa
Consulate notwithstanding. The last time we were there, we had this Bostiao
Xencor at the gate trying his stuff. I told him that Baksheesh was waiting
for him in that biiiiiiiiig car waiting outside. I meant the dilapidated bus
at that filthy thing called Bus Station. But who was waiting to clarify
anything to him? That confused him alright and got him out of our faces.
Inside, I saw only Gujarati and Hindi speaking fellas. Hmmmmm!
There are several thousand nationality applications from India (from last
reports) which are awaiting the normal civil service traction and the
resolution of other issues. I suppose the BOGUS certificate issue hurts
Goans. Even the British High Commission in India is reporting receipt of
BOGUS certificates.
Ah well .... I suppose we in Goa have to accept the cross to our reputation.
My offer to Bonefacio was a singular offer. It was because I believe that
something might be amiss there.
Good luck to all those who are applying for regaining Portuguese
Nationality.
Did not realise that there were so many Goans on one Goan Network alone who
were interested in regaining/applying for Portuguese nationality. From the
tone of the discussions on GoaNet, I thought that folks here were
anti-Portuguese, hated Portugal, could not stand the name Portugal etc.
I guess I was wrong.
I did not see any of the 207 stand up against the BOGUS anti Portugal
stories that were circulated here.
On the other hand, this "passport" stuff might just be an act of opportunism
- to get abroad. I know quite a few who I would class as opportunists. They
will use anything, anybody, any country (Portugal in this case) to achieve
their personal goals.
That is why I asked ....if it was Nationality or Passport that was being
sought.
Bonefacio, if you are not able to send that info within the next 14 days,
I'll consider that you are not interested. As you probably know (or do not)
I have a day job .... and a night one too. Neither of my jobs involve
passport or nationality issues.
Anyway ... all the best to all
jc
