What is it with government employees no matter what country including even US gov employees, that dealing with the public, being unfriendly and not helpful seems almost like it's a job requirement?!
I understand they get a lot of calls, and sometimes people that call, may have tons of questions, but why be rude to everyone that calls, not explain things enough for people to understand, and just rush them off the phone? I, myself, don't call with tons of questions whenever I have called them.
It's bad enough that you sometimes end up calling their embassy for days, and your call not being answered at all in those days, but even worse that when finally you manage to get a day where you get through to speak someone, they treat you like dirt, and like you have no right to call them with a question! I have seen tons of complaints on their website just like mine, and not just from Americans, but also from Egyptian citizens just trying to communicate, so they can know answers to some of their important questions. I looked on the website for a Q/A, but I didn't see one. That would help a lot if they did, and would also free up their phones more, because often times, a lot of people have just some basic questions.
Anyhow, I sent the documents they asked me for, and even sent them the paper with the seal from the department of state showing I have a legal Arabic translation of my divorce documents that was done here in the US, and I had to send also my English version to the department of state. The Egyptian Embassy sends back my documents with a letter saying I need both my Arabic and English version of my documents under one seal from the department of state. All I wanted to know is what do they mean by that? I only see one seal from the department of state about my documents, so I'm confused exactly what it is they're talking about.
Please if anyone on here, has any idea what in the world do they mean, comment below or contact me on here. Decent respectable answers only please, no sarcasm trolls. Things are very frustrating, as I feel at a stand still. I want to travel back to Egypt God willing next summer, and cannot until I have whatever it is their talking about done.
