Passports...UGH!!!

Well it is only three weeks away. The big day to FINALLY see my Filipino girlfriend. I have been waiting for this for well over 7 months. I have the plane fare, the hotel picked out, and even some of the things I will do once I am there. But my only problem now... Yup, That PASSPORT!!! Oh, I can get one. I have not raised up arms against my country, or joined a foreign army, or anything crazy like that. But the one thing I did wrong, according to the agent, was present an out of state ID. I wish you all were there to see it. Her eyes sprang open like I had just pricked her with a needle, and she pointed at me like I was the defendant in a court room. "We dont take those." I had to tell her that it is a legal government document. Then I tried to give her my social security card and she wagged her finger at me and said, "nope, only birth certificate, drivers license, and something with your name on it and a picture like a student, military, work, or government ID, and a credit/debit card." I obviously was confused because right in front of her it stated that if I presented and out of state ID, then I had to offer up two other forms of proof. I did that. Social Security card, and debit card. It is only obvious that a birth certificate would be needed so I showed it to her as well. She then said, "we need something with you picture on it." I then handed her a card from the place I work that has my picture on it. She ignored me and repeated what she said before. She then said, "comeback when you have everything taken care of." I really did not want to argue any more so I just left. Now I have to go back and have my picture taken and face this woman again. I guess I could go to another location, but should I be required to? I dont know, but I think she was just tired of dealing with me... what do you all think?
