Last Tuesday Lucas went searching for our passports and couldn't find them. After two days of searching we were convinced that they must have gone out with the trash over the weekend. Lucas was very worried that losing them would cause problems for the work permit process but all the embassy needed was new copies of the passports before we leave. We had everything ready and got to the post office on Monday afternoon to submit the new applications but they wouldn't let us. Evidently 6 weeks ago they started requiring appointments for passports and even though there was no one there they wouldn't let us apply at that time. We went home annoyed with the state department for not updating all the appropriate websites to inform citizens of this change.
And then Jean found them Monday night! They were hidden in a place Lucas had already looked, but because we weren't able to apply on Monday, Jean saved us ~$500!
