    Get that weak stuff outta here!!!!
    How anyone could reject you two is beyond me but I know you'll come up with an even better plan. Sorry you had such a disappointing day.

    Larissa and Andrew
    Very sorry to hear about visa for India, it is hard to understand immigration officers. When you are not being paid, its better to go on tourist visa. I learned that after being turned away a few times by US immigration.
    I hope this is not a definite refusal, that they will change their mind. Love
    Your truly almost ended up in jail in Switzerland. Those are perils of international travel.

    why do you guys need a work visa? you should only get a tourist visa and if the NGO requires a work visa, they should help you get it once you are there.

    I also could have just paid off the official at the embassy ;)

    But no, I know what you said has been done before, but the NGO required a work visa upon arrival. And as for why we needed a work visa...because we'd be working/volunteering, which are both classified under work/entry(x) visas.

    . . . it sucks, I know. Wish I'd figured this out before leaving, but, hey, this what happens when I try and fit a lot of stuff into a trip abroad: I miss a few crucial details here and there! We'll definitely get to India on a tourist visa though.

    Katie - know anywhere we can volunteer in Nepal. I hear it's pretty awesome there =)
