"You'll have to come back next week, Mr. K:" a little update
So apparently what happened to my Frank was this. His visa had been on hold because the foreign police misplaced a document. They finally got around to asking him to bring it in. He brought it in to the office and stood in line for 5 hours after which they arrested him because he was walking around without a valid visa. They kept him eight hours, they started deportation proceedings, but those are on hold for a week.
He went to the embassy, and they were no help. The consulate has not responded to his message. There is a person at the University who may be able to help but they're out till Monday. He's naturally having trouble sleeping, but he only missed two classes (unfortunately one was where he had to give a presentation on the gall bladder).
I wonder how often Charles University professors hear that excuse -- "Sorry I missed class, but the foreign police arrested me for no real reason?"
On another front, despite the fact that my preschool credential is nothing like I thought it was, I may have a job within a week or two in a different age group than the one I thought I was most likely to be able to work in. A lovely one where the people are wonderful.
I'll be fixing that credential, however, because it's dumb for a person with my experience, skills, and knowledge with infants to not have an infant credential (and how was I legally able to get all that experience, anyway? I've always shown everybody what I had!)
