It makes sense for them to have this problem I think : The fee for Visa extension is very high (no doubt to encourage people to leave). people might as well do it in person, rather than send by post and wait. Besides if something is wrong, then maybe it can be fixed it immediately, rather then have ...

Thank you

Thank you again,
