My daughter took her professional engineer and structural engineer licensing test. The first time she applied to take the test the professional licensing agency here in Georgia canceled her admission ticket without notifying her.
She realized that something was wrong when her husband who was taking also taking the PE test received an instruction package that she didn't get. She called the agency and they told her that it appeared to them that two different people were trying to take the two tests using the same graduate school transcripts and engineer in training test results. To be safe they canceled both admission tickets, which had already been sent out.
My daughter had gotten married after earning her master's degree and took her husband's name. The idiots were confused by this, apparently they didn't realize that women do assume their husband's name. My daughter showed me her copy of the application. There was even a place on the application to enter her maiden name. She had even attached a notarized copy of her marriage license to the application.
Somehow the idiots issued two tickets, one to her maiden name and one for her married name, and sent them to the same address. She assumed that they issued the ticket under her maiden name by mistake and the ticket with her married name was sent out to correct the mistake.
They didn't think to call my daughter so that she could explain this concept of a woman taking her husband's name that they were seemingly unable to grasp.
They wouldn't let her take the tests, forcing her to wait another six months to take the two tests. They refused to refund her test fees of a thousand dollars because they refused to admit that they had made a mistake when it was so obvious that they had. She had to reapply and pay another thousand dollars.
Obviously the cattle in India don't have these problems.
