So, Jason and I were putting together his second test for his American Government students. The Dean's office had photocopied it for him, but they hadn't managed to staple it together, which got us to thinking about his experience at OVIR and our experience at the consulate. There were no computers or even telephones visible at either location. At OVIR, Jason's paperwork was taken out of his binder and piled into a box full of other papers and documents. At the consulate, we experienced something similar. All of my documents were removed from the binder in which I had them, dog-eared together (no staplers present) and thrown on a shelf full of other documents and papers. We wondered if any inquiry were made, whether they could retrieve them.
The Fulbright Director called Jason last night. They debated on whether our difficulties were deliberate (my belief) or a general sign of disorganization and incompetence. Fulbright Kiev's general disorganization remained untouched. Incidentally, we are still waiting for our refund from our orientation in February! I'm sure they would say that is our fault somehow...
