4 pieces of mail my 18yr old son just received DOB 6/20
1st was a Happy Birthday from the Dentist, time to get your
teeth cleaned.

2nd a Voter Registration Card form the League of Women Voters inside a birthday card- How Cool!

3rd- Selective Service Reminder- FuCkers

and 4th, His application for passport, with the photo taken was returned, because of some very slight glare reflected from his glasses. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Why do I get the feeling our gov. is trying to make it harder to obtain passports?

2. Never needed passport
Been to Mexico and Canada on short visits but plan to get passport NOW! Perhaps everyone should go for one! Inundate the passport office to the extent that they will wonder how many citizens might want to GO at any given time!

4. Please keep us informed
if/when he ever gets his passport. If it keeps getting rejected, then we all really know that something is up.

5. They're very picky about the photos...
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 10:24 AM by bicentennial_baby
When I got mine, they took the pics 3 times to get it just right, b/c they said if it wasn't, it would be rejected. Try to get the photo done at a Post Office, if you can. They're a bit better than you local photo shop at this particular task, I think.

6. Glare
If there is glare off his glasses then his eyes aren't showing. Customs is just being careful, as they should be.

New rules on visa application photos nothing to smile about
