possible setback

Hey guys... so with less than two weeks to go before my departure date, the Hungarian government has suddenly decided to be uncooperative with visas for the new teachers.
I've talked to people at the Hungarian embassy, and I believe I can enter the country as a tourist. However, then I would have to be without a passport for several weeks while my visa is being processed. I could pay to have a second passport rushed to me, but that's a financial setback I was definitely not expecting. Basically, I'm really confused and just want to get there without wiping out my money.
Here are things you can pray for:
--that I will receive 100% of my support in the next week (I'm currently at 85%).
--that all my insurance and records of physicals, immunizations, etc. will be in order
--that I will receive my official Letter of Invitation from the Hungarian government before I leave
--that my visa (and maybe a passport) can be secured quickly and with no problems (one teacher actually had her application denied, and we have no idea why).
--that the school will be able to deal with a teacher shortage at the beginning of the year. There are currently 6 teachers who know they will not be able to go in August!

I'm starting to worry a little -- I knew this whole process was going too smoothly! Please, please keep these things in your prayers.
