@donn25 I respectfully disagree. It's not individual people's fault for the bureaucratic problems. Life needs to go on and if you can't leave the country, get a job, or start a business without a valid visa, it can throw a wrench in things. I'm ... Read More

@Jac g In the Facebook groups I'm following, several people have said it took a month for them to get a response but some people are getting responses. I've also seen some people say their complain was just closed in the yellow book without an ... Read More

@Jac g I'm in a similar boat but have only been here a couple of months. I've been reading about filing a complain in the "yellow book". I have not done this yet since I have three months until my visa stamp expires. But I have seen some people in ... Read More
