Yeah, but it's all about peace of mind. When you're sending in a lot of stuff that's personally important, you want to know that it's in the right hands! Especially when you're paying for the privilage!
So true. I was utterly terrified of not getting my passport back, or dh's. Especially since I couldn't sit around all day waiting for Fed Ex, I had to go to work. I did end up with shouting matches with them about why I couldn't change where my documents were being sent to. It went along the lines of:
Me: I need to get this transferred to being delievered to my work, because I can't be there to sign for them.
Fed Ex: We can't change where they go to because of the nature of the documents and the hold that's been placed on them.
Me: I know they are important documents, that's why I need them redirected so, I can get them as soon as possible.
Getting my visa was one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever had to do! I took both his and myt passports everywhere with me for at least two weeks after I finally got them back.
