Read all of the directions before picking up your pencil...

That's what teachers say in school right? Well, I should have applied the same advice when it came to this Residency Letter that I wrote about the last time.
The deal is this...
That letter only came from the Oradea Authority for Foreigners. The people making the decision on my residency are from Bucuresti. I think what happened is that when I dropped off my letter "demanding a decision" to the Oradea Office (they send it on to the Bucuresti office) they didn't understand why I was asking for a decision on residency when I haven't lived here 5 years. (5 years is the requirement to apply for Residency.) So, they just sent me a letter saying "Hey, we checked your Visa 'file' and you haven't lived here for 5 years so no, you can't apply for Residency."
If they had looked closer they would have seen that it has been since last DECEMBER that I've been waiting for a decision, and that I applied with special permission to apply early (before the 5 year mark.)
I'm not sure they sent my letter demanding an answer to Bucuresti afterall since they didn't look closely enough as to why I was asking.
So the deal is that letter needs to get to Bucuresti - needs to move past this Oradea office.
That is the plan for this week - get that letter to Bucuresti!
