Visa Problems

I realized that I posted the post below but had never written about our visa saga. I'll let Jen elaborate more on the topic but suffice it to say, we might have a problem getting our student visa.

We did not consider that our online work for an American company would possibly get in the way of being approved for a student visa but it looks like that could indeed happen. The diplomat who accepted our passport and paperwork at the consulate on Wednesday in San Francisco asked us each two interesting questions, "How will you support yourself in Israel?" and "What do you do now?" The honest answer to both questions was our online work. Unfortunately, our official didn't like that answer to question number one. She said, "I don't think you can work on a student visa." And, indeed, thinking about it, she might just be correct, even though we work for an American company as independent contractors.

Thus, we are totally freaked out about being rejected for our student visas. Plus, it's disconcerting not having our passports for three (or less, hopefully? please!?) weeks!
