[ I could tell horror-stories of how the famous "green-card" people
just add to the aggrevation, when you finally want to take them up
on their promises - not in the middle of the jungle - but in capitals
like Caracas, Bogota, Rio (well, not the capital), etc. So, I wonder
what these people want THAT much money for, and if they deliver.
Anyone use them before? PS: their 800-number just promised me more
