Visa Application

Today, I went for my visa application appointment which I need to submit all my supporting documents and also relevant forms. The Visa Application Centre is located in the building called Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang.

This morning, I took bus, LRT all by myself and all the way to Ampang Park just to submit the documents and have my biometrics taken. My appointment was at 10am but I arrived the building too early. I reached there by 9am which means I have to stand in the lobby to wait for 45mins before going up to 19th Floor where the VAC is located.

While waiting the 45mins to pass, I double-checked my documents again and again, hoping I do not lack of any documents. However, I always do have the feeling that I lack of something, and keep recalling the documents needed for application.

Up to 19th Floor, the security guards are strict that they checked your bags, passport, body-check etc. When we get into the office, we have to show the guard our appointment time and also to see whether our name is on the list. Number is given and waited to be called.

After couples of minutes, it was my turn and the officer is nice and friendly. She asked me to take out all my documents and started to check them. However, something really happened this time. She said my fixed deposits were matured, meaning that they are expired and needed me to update. So I have to go to the nearest bank but my FD can only update in my home branch and again, the bank officer is kind enough to help me to update and print the relevant documents out from their database system.

Again, I have to rush back to VAC just to get everything done as soon as possible. Finally, she accepted my documents and then it was my scarest part among the whole day - BIOMETRICS! My fingerprints are famous for thin and hard to scan. 2 thumbs would make the officers crazy and now I have to scan for 10 fingers. My gosh! No doubt, there are problems with my fingerprint scanning. They were too dry! Last time was too wet and now too dry! What THE XXXX! Lastly still manage to get the fingerprints scanned.

And now, what I can do is to wait for my visa collection. Hope they won't reject my visa application and hope that everything goes on smoothly and hope I can get my visa as soon as possible! Praying hard~~
