The problem comes with us Yanks who try to apply for visas while resident in Europe somewhere. The civil servants at the consulate may not want to deal with something that is a bit outside their usual box. Be polite, but insistent.

I greatly appreciate even a modicum of reassurance! As a student I've come to study and to learn, so no matter the difficulties at the end of the day I hope that a reach for knowledge is not thwarted by the labors of precedent.
