eli, thanks SO much for taking us along on your journey to getting your papers. Good luck to you! You too should take a photo of the street in Toledo, Spain called "Calle de Toledo de Ohio" as I did back in 1995.

Madridman-
I've already taken one of those pictures

One question to anyone who might know... if for any reason, I decide to take additional courses at the same school after the time I applied for, do I need to return to the US and file again, or do I just need to show the police documentation? (The visa that they give you when you apply is only for 3 months, and you have to go to the police when you get there to get it extended)
