This did not happen. The office was shut down only after the rescue mission was complete.	John Chambers, in Hollywood, is told that the mission is off and to shut down the office.
The forged visas in the Canadian passports had the wrong date formats. Mendez uses the blank passports to ink in proper stamps.	Mendez inks in visa stamps, but not because of errors in the originals.
Mendez and his associates settle for rented office space at a Hollywood studio and a script. The publicity eventually gets a life of its own and people call for more information.	Mendez selects a script called Argo that is in turnaround. Siegel and Mendez meet with Max Klien to buy the rights to produce Argo. They get the rights for $10,000. Mendez is told he has 72 hours to get the backstory ready.
This did not happen in the book. The Americans flew out on a DC-8 named Aagua after a one hour delay for a mechanical problem. Some of the local security start to harass some of the passengers who are waiting, but it is not a problem.	Iranian authorities finally figure out that several Americans from the Embassy are trying to leave via the airport and rush to stop them.
