Finally!

Yesterday Nicholas gave up and said he would kill someone if he had to go back to the immigration office. He's not the killer type, but we all have a limit, right?
So yesterday I called the first lawyer since I realized a long time ago that he is the only one who could make this visa happen.
He met me today and for 2,5 hours we walked from office to office over three floors, but we got the visa and we could never have done it without him.
I don't know if you have the saying "crawl to the cross" in English, but in Sweden it means that you, for example, call someone who you think was wrong, but you have no other solution. That was what I did yesterday when I called the lawyer.
From the beginning he wanted a lot of money and that made Nicholas furious, so he refused to contact him even though I've tried to convince Nicholas for weeks that he and only he could help us.
He is the chairman of the tourism board, he is tall and always dressed in a suit. He has authority written all over him.
The first office employee said that we needed a label "something" approval, but the lawyer told him loud and clear that there was no such a document. We could never have told him that and never in that tone, then we could kiss our visa good bye forever.
Even the Nepalese have lots of problems with the immigration. Many children are born in other countries like USA and UK. Since it's not possible for a Nepalese to have double citizenship they of course chose to keep the foreign citizenship for their kids.
Just like when you go to the doctor everyone is in the same room listening to everyone else's problems.
At one time an employee and a father, arguing for his daughter's visa, had a loud discussion and soon our lawyer and the rest of the applicants were involved. I sat in a comfy chair so I could witness the madness, understanding about every 10:th word. The body language was crystal clear.
The employee showed with his eyes, head and hands that it was nothing more to discuss, but the father never gave up. For 20 minutes they kept on, but when they finished there were no hard feelings and even the employee smiled.
I could never ever see this scene happen in Sweden. You just don't raise your voice like this if you are working with people.
Now we are giving ourselves one month break before we get started for next visa. Now we know that nothing is easy, even though we should know this simple fact by now.
