I've had marriage extensions, work extensions, dependent extensions and retirement extensions...got peed off with we want more photos, must wear different clothes, letters from the bank and all.sorts of other stupid requests...I decided it's far easier to use an agent and in fact is far cheaper also...does that mean I and many others in the same position do no qualify for an extension...of course it does not, it means we have far better things to.do with our lives but of course the oh so high and mighty visa nazis will say different
