Third time lucky
Aug. 9th, 2008 11:18 pmIt - hurts. Just to keep this updated, I'd like it known that my petition to extend my residence to unconditionally permanent was rejected again yesterday (time to find that snooker cue), but this time it was a problem with us - in all the meticulous cross-checking of referenced dates and pieces of evidence submitted compared to how I was declaring them on the cover letter, I forgot one very obvious detail, and that was that the cheque did not have a written amount on it.
In their magnetic repellence of efficiency they sent the whole bundle back again with a note on it instead of just asking for a corrected cheque, and had once again stolen all our paperclips (perhaps they have a shortage). So this time we immediately added the few words needed, printed out a fresh I-Something form, and went back to the post office to send it for the third time. I hope that they would have mentioned any other problems at the same time if there were any other crippling ones, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just go through a procedure and reject it as soon as they come to the first problem. A bit like a BASIC interpreter.
At this rate I think I might have to start taking my pills again.
