I just realized about a week ago that I only have 3 blank pages left in my passport. This is not an ideal situation for someone who needs a long-term resident visa and is expected to travel quite a bit for her job. I really didn't have time to send it off to get pages added, so I decided to brave the Dallas Passport Agency. It was actually quite painless. I had all of the needed documents and everyone was nice. I go back tomorrow afternoon to pick up my passport. So now customs officials in all countries can feel free to stamp away!
