Uneventful non-O retirement extension at CW last week: short report

[david_je]

Appointment last Friday booked online.

I took Green then Pink Line to Government Complex station.  I did not know pickup point or frequency of shuttle bus from station that others on this forum have mentioned so I took taxi (40b) from station to B Building. On return, motorcycle back to the station. It’s walkable on cool day, maybe 20 minutes.

Some may not know that you should have your documents checked at counter #27 before heading to #35 for online appointments. There doesn’t appear to be any system for calling online bookers either orally or on the queue screen so you need to hang around in front of #35 at your booked time until you’re seen and invited in.

Documents I presented and were accepted:

Passport pages

Bank statement and 12 months of transactions

Hand-drawn map of address

TM7

I was not asked for TM30 on any other documents. I don’t know if it was checked, but my last 90-day receipt was attached to my passport.

You also are given a few other documents to sign, re various offenses and penalties.

Entire process from getting bank statement downstairs to returned of extended passport was around 1 1/2 hours.

By the way, anyone know re shuttle bus? I forgot to ask while there.

Thanks again to everyone on this forum who has helped me with questions in past.

Thanks for report.

Good to read TM30 was not asked for.

That is also my experience.

Re the TM47 receipt, think you will find that if it was not in your pp they would have asked for it.

My last two extensions at CW they have asked for 90 day report receipt
