Sent in my O-A app to Chicago consulate yesterday, hoping to get in under the wire before 1 July, ALTHOUGH my pension statement does list a deduction for Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance which supposedly has international coverage. A couple of “irregularities” I’m a little worried about, such as not being able to put in an exact arrival date or flight #, since I’m not planning the trip for a few months. A few other things may also give them pause.. I’ll post the result when I get it.
