My last extension based on retirement using money in bank method at CW Nov last year.

 

For the first time ever they wanted 90 day report receipt. 

 

Also first time ever my bankbook photocopies were not acceptable reason given is some months had no transactions.

 

I understand not acceptable if consolidated transactions.

Note first time in 10 years I had this rubbish.

 

The senior io made me write on back of random doc page that next year I would provide bank statements.

 

I then asked what if I make a token deposit every month.

Her reply in the usual "save face rubbish" .....You bring bank statements.

 

Note I keep over 1 million all year round in dedicated bank account.

Bunch of clerks. 

 

I used appointment system that works a treat. This last extension I was made to go to doc check chicks first. Previous years straight to extention desk (think L32) 

 

I also decided first time ever to obtain my reentry permit.

So back to que desk for # and off to reentry permit desk.

wait not long. 

 

Unrelated observation... different from previous years some of the io in extension desks were young and my io seemed inexperienced.

But you did provide bank statements.

 

This kind of treatment is nonsense, that immigration officer should be fired for unprofessional behaviour.
