While it is most certainly true that Confirmation in the Lutheran and Anglican communities is absolutely null and void, it is not true that converts from those communities must receive a valid Confirmation in order to become Catholic. In the traditional Roman rite, the practice is for a convert from Protestantism to be received into the Catholic Church by a renunciation of heresy, a profession of faith, and a general confession. The convert only receives Confirmation when the bishop comes to the parish to administer it, which could be months after the conversion.

Regardless of what the Code of Canon Law may say, the practice is to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation from the parish priest, usually at Easter Vigil. Any further disputes you have should be addressed to:

Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D.
Archbishop’s Office
P.O. Box 1073
Louisville, KY 40201-1073

If I wrote a letter to a bishop every time I became aware of a practice not in conformity with the venerable traditions of the Church, I would spend more time typing on a word processor than I would spend eating, sleeping, and studying combined.

You just need a good business mind to assist you in these matters. For most of the capricious practices, form letters could be readily composed and readily mailed on a moment's notice. And by hiring affordable, dependable labor from the East to handle the grunt work, you would create a business model that could scale itself around the globe while building relationships with Eastern Christians. They're usually more than happy to point out errors in the Latin Rite.
