2004 April - July - floundered around trying to figure out how to get papers filed from CNMI -- confusing!
2004-07-15 Fax to US Embassy Tokyo -- travel.state.gov website says Tokyo embassy handles immigrant visas for CNMI
2004-07-22 Reply from Tokyo Embassy -- new regulations have tranfered responsibility for CNMI to Seoul, Korea.
