It's been a while since I had an appointment for extension of stay. What now puzzles me is how to do the documents screening at the outsude office.

I don't need a queue number probably and I should go one day early maybe as I don't trust getting the screening done before the appointment is due.

Since I am not an early riser, I used to go in the early afternoon and had to come back the next day for my queue number.

Some advise welcome, thanks.

allow time before appointment to get a queue number and have docs checked, then ignore it after documents are checked.

Thank you. That would practically mean arriving very early to get a # and get done with it same day. Then why bother the appointment. And if the appointment is at an earlier hour you could never get your docs checked in time.

Lots of bumps in the road, that's why I asked the question.

I've arrived in the PM and received a queue number... that queue moves fairly quickly. I think if you arrive ½-1 hour in advance of your appointment you will probably be able to get you docs checked.
