government whimsy

Apparently, part of the reason I was waiting on my visa for so long was that it was rejected the first time they applied. (Technically, it was a letter of invitation, not a visa. I received my visa in the Ashgabat airport after landing.) What is not clear is if I was specifically rejected or if someone else on the letter was rejected. See, there were three other employees on the same invitation letter so it wasn't clear who got rejected or why they were rejected.

No employees should be subjected with this kind of uncertainty the way you had been put through. Five weeks on the balance with no direction. Why can’t the company submit the LOI for each employee individually?

Inefficiency? Incompetency? Lost of productivity? Morale?

No, not five weeks. It was more than 9 weeks. Sorry!

How time goes by so fast...

This is a former USSR state. It is also an Islamic state. Go figure.
