Man hours that could more usefully employed for sorting out our %#@*ing AOS applications, amongst other things!
It wasn't till they'd sent out 60-bl00dy-thousand of these things before someone noticed that something was amiss?
The incompetence of these people continues to astound me.

From what I've seen this is a pretty rare commodity. Unfortunately, working as I do in a large company its also liable to hamper my prospects of further promotion.

Thats one creative way of the INS staff vetoing the new immigration laws. Send them all duff cards them spend an eternity "sorting it out"
