Re: Tsa
as my learned friend just said. you should head to the US and sort it out from over there.
however, what is worrying me is the thought that you have only just applied for your visa. you are cutting everything very tight indeed.
if you have a photocopy of your passport you could scan that and send it, otherwise you will have to wait. for me, the TSA took about three weeks to give me clearance to get fingerprinted.
the most important thing is that you get your M1. the rest can be sorted out when you get there.
