Today I had my visa extension application. I’ve submitted my documents and now will wait for about 6 months to get an answer. In the meantime, I’m not allowed to leave the UK.
The officer who received my documents at the application centre said that it’s great that I uploaded everything on the website, because the scanner doesn’t work properly. “We would have a lot of problems.”
She was also quite impressed with my fingerprints. “I’ve never seen anyone with fingerprints like this.” she said. “So precise, so perfect.”
I was quite proud. It’s true that I’m pretty good at giving fingerprints. I was told before, multiple times.
However, as she was looking at her screen, checking my fingerprints one last time, she noticed that I had a scar on my right middle finger. She took out a form, and told me we need to fill out the form and specify that I have a scar on my finger, and that it’s not perfect.
The form was straightforward. It already has all the fingers written out, as apparently this kind of imperfection was something very common.
But now she needed to scan the form.
