Congratulations to all of you
Congratulations to all of you, who visit this website,It means that you have leisure and money to travel enjoying the life. After you read the following four casesYou will know why I said you are luck.
Case 1.
One old couple came in to inquire how to get an US passport.The lady is 57 years old and her husband about 10 years older then her. The man was helping her to fill out the form; it looks like they had hardtime to fill out the form. After I help them and checked all the information, I asked how they would like to pay. They do not have check book, they had to pay by money order, so I asked them to buy one $75.00 and another one for $25.00. The lady said “No” I only need the passport card, the fee only $20.00,I explained to them that the card is only good for land go through the boarderbetween US and Mexico, or US and Canada, not for air plane. The lady said “Yes! I only need the card, just for the police come to check at my work place, not for traveling. She said we never go to travel.
Case 2.
One man cut in to the line and interrupted me to process passport application for the appointment customer, I asked him, you need help? Yes, I have appointment.What time is your appointment? 1:30PM, Then, just come at 1:30PM, Now is 12:45PM. I had bad feeling that people cut in and interrupt your work. The man came at 1:30PM with his wife and daughter, at that time I remember that he was one refused to sign the application form for his 10 years old son. About 6 months ago,he came with his ex wife and son to apply passport for his son. To everybody’s surprise,He refused to sign the form, I asked him that do you want your son go to abroad and enjoy the life. He answered “Yes.” Then sign the form. He still insisted not to sign the form and went away, left his ex wife and son so embarrassing before the public. I did not want to involve into their family affair, but I suggested the woman that she can go to court try to get sole custody,Or wait until the boy older than 14 years old, and then no need his father sign the form.
Case 3.
A disable senior man came in with stick to ask me the direction how to go to our sub-station,I asked why you need to go there. He said I need to rent a box; because you do not have any available here. I need it today, so that I can call to social security office to change my mailing address to the P O Box, I don’t want the check be mailed to my daughter’s house,She takes my money. I asked how old your daughter is, he answered, 42. Does she work? No,She just tries to take any penny from me. I checked with our sub-station to make sure that they have box available there, I don’t want him go there and get the same answer that no box available. Before he goes there, I had a second thought that I should help this senior man to get box here, that would be more convenient for him, so I made a special arrangement for him to get a box right away .It took me so much time to help him even loss my break time, because he does not know his daughter’s home address, I called her to verify, she asked what for my father is at your office, I did not tell her is for applying for a box. She even called back three times to ask what for.
Case 4.
My co-worker asked me to do a favor for him to process his parents’ passports without appointment. From the conversation that I know my co-worker is taking care his parents very good, I was so admiring that he still have good healthy parents,and this couple is so lucky to have such a good son to take care of them. So, how do you think about those four cases peoples? How nice the man in case 1, so good care to his wife, and how sad they never go to travel enjoy the life, only so scare every minutes that police might come to check their status of citizenship.I definitely do not like the man in case 2, gave up his original spouse and son, he might destroy his son’s bright future, just because he did not want to sign the form and embarrassed them before public. Few months later he showed before me with his new wife and daughter .In case 3, the disable man’s daughter and son do not know where the father is staying,even himself, I found the hospital telephone number from his wrist ring, and help him to find where he is staying. The daughter and son should be punished, and send them to have community service, or military training to learn how to support them self and how to good care their father, and not to get money from their old disable father. In case 4,How lucky my co-worker still has 82 years old parents with good health, and how lucky this old couple have good son to take care of them, even still can travel abroad. So, when will be the next trip for you to bring your parents, spouse, and children to have a good vacation? Enjoy! And good luck to all of you.
For your reference: 1. Now there is option that you may apply passport book and passport card. The passport book fee will be $75.00 for the 16 or older, $60.00 for the 15 or younger. Appreciated to effort of passport centers, now routine service will only take few weeks,Even only ten days to get passport book. Don’t worry that your passport card is missing if you applied, because the passport card only starts to produce in July 2008.
2. The age for two parents law is 16 years now (before was 14)It means that both parents need to sign the application form, if the child is 15 or younger. It only needs one parent to sign if 16 or 17 years old.
