July 1, 20223 yr Good morning, Yesterday, my ex and our daughter went to extend their Non O visas. Daughter is on an Non O ED visa/International school. Mom is on Non O visa/guardian. A small hickup: My ex, careful with her money, decided in January to transfer the 500k from her deposit account into a savings account because she's scared to have to much money in her current account and scared about losing her card, hacking etc. She went to her bank to get a bank letter for both accounts. She never went under the 500k balance. Problem was: She opened the savings account in her name and added our young daughter as well. When the immigration woman saw this, she got mental. Went to see her supervisor and suddenly, 5 of them were on the case. She came back, saying: Madame, your daughter will get visa today but you, NO. You broke the law. I can help you. You can get Covid extension. She didn't let us talk and was near to kick "ME" out 555. I just tried to explain that it was no bad intention. Daughter was added in case something happens to mom, daughter would have access to the money. She wasn't having any of it. Always mentioning the law. We asked her, what a young child is supposed to do alone here? After a call from school, who knows this particular office quite good, an exception was made. I thought about all those, who have no 800k in bank and use an agent to get their extension illegally. On the way back home, my ex transferred 500k back to her current account. Problem solved. Question: Visa expires 31/07/22 Extension until May 2023 because her passport will expire. When receiving a new passport, extension of stay will be transferred to new passport. Will she get her extension until end of july 2023 or it will be the May 2023? Would be a bit annoying as hers would be May2023 and daughter July 23. Thanks

July 1, 20223 yr Quote After a call from school, who knows this particular office quite good, an exception was made. I thought about all those, who have no 800k in bank and use an agent to get their extension illegally. "all those people" is that including you, ofcourse we are not talking about the 800k but rather "who knows this particular office quite good, an exception was made". you can also say that the agent know this particular office and was made an exception, wouldn't you agree
July 1, 20223 yr 6 minutes ago, vinci said: you can also say that the agent know this particular office and was made an exception, wouldn't you agree No because an agent pays the immigration office and of course the client pays the agent. I have nothing against using an agent however this case is nothing like that.
July 1, 20223 yr yes i understand the case is less judgmental and ofcourse not the same, i agree to that, but we can't say that this is ok but that is not ok, the IO literally said you break the law "Madame, your daughter will get visa today but you, NO., You broke the law", both the law are broken but one is ok and the other is not.

The daughter is on a Non-O Ed Visa and I'm curious as to why you think any rules were broken in granting her an extension.
July 1, 20223 yr Quote "The mother certainly broke the rules" "I'm curious as to why you think any rules were broken" you just answer your own question

July 1, 20223 yr Agents don't procure illegal extensions. They persuade the senior Immigration staff to exercise their lawful discretion.
