First Life
I've been working on getting my green card renewed so that then I can apply for disabilty. I've been working on it since the latter part of June. At that time I rang up the evil 800 number for the government department, and was on hold for a long, long time, then I was treated like sheep by a nasty woman who nonetheless gave me a lot of information. The upshot of her information was that I needed to file by mail, to Tukwila, and attach a letter from my doctor stating why I am requesting a home visit. I made an appointment with my doctor, and asked him if he thought I was a good candidate for a home visit, and he emphatically replied, "Yes!" He was going to mail me the letter, so today, after weeks of letterlessness, I rang to say, "Where is it?" Then I rang the evil 800 number again and got (after a long, long time on hold) a nice woman, who made a point of finding exactly what I need to do as, she said, all the rules were changed at the end of MAY. Now I need to send my barenaked application (covered only by a large check, of course) to Los Angeles, wait for a reply, then sent a representative to the scheduled appointment or write then a letter instead, either one asking for a home visit. It'll be a letter in my case as I don't have any spare representatives handy. In other words, everything the nasty woman told me was wrong and just delayed me by a month and a half.
