Ticket to Ride - Where?

I had extra time again today and studied for the test which will be coming up within the next few weeks.  I listen to Danish dialogues that are similar to what we might listen to on the tests.  There will be several dialogues and then questions about each one.  I will have a few seconds to answer each question - orally.  It sounds intimidating!  I will be speaking to a computer....I am sure it would be easier if I could speak face to face with a real person...maybe not.

But I will rest a lot easier once that test is behind us....unless of course, I am resting in Gilbert Arizona after being escorted out of the country!  Which brings me to another interesting point.

My passport has an irregularity on it....one that could prevent me from re-entering the U.S.  I can't imagine that it could really happen, but it is curious.  When we went to the embassy a couple of weeks ago and explained the situation to the guards, their first question was "Do you need to leave the country right away?"

Their next questions was "Do you have an appointment?"  We didn't...we were told we didn't need one. So now we have an appointment next Wednesday.  Which brings me back to my original query:  What if I were to fail the test, and be asked to leave, and have a passport that wouldn't get me back in my country?

It is all mere speculation, but thought-provoking to me nevertheless!

  3. I'm sure you are not going to fail the test, but the whole passport issue - that's a concern. Let us know if we need to start looking for a good coyote.
