why would I be rude and dismissive to him? Stupid comment. I saw him walk past me in a mall, I caught up to shake his hand, I said "hello you're the famous guy from youtube" and he just said "yeh" and just walked off. If his channel is "retired working for you" you'd expect him to show at least a little courtesy to his viewers.
you can get 60 days if you have a spouse/dependant, they need to be there to take a photo with you. In my case my wife was with me up until the point they took a photo then she had to go to work, I had to hang around another 40 minutes and wait to pick up my passport.
