yes big difference they correct mistakes by hand all the time. I have one hand written correction in my passport. We all know that from time to time we have to deal with difficult agents.
does not hurt to try. in my yellow book yhe listed me as Canadian not American. I went back the next day and a different person crossed out Canada and wrote in American
It would be nice if they could. I went for my Thai DL yesterday and had a very rough time. I've never read where anyone had such a hard time. And they did not want the Doctors report I read about. Everywhere you go it's different. I think people overstaying and running out of money has hurt all of us.
