There were like 40 of them. After an hour he went back and said...he would call another few from the list of names on that day and he did.

But what about us? the once who were not called? He said... I will prioritize all the applicants on this list tomorrow...so come again tomorrow around 7am.

SO we all obediently followed... returned the next day ONLY to be told that the LIST was not honored inside! I am telling you... some of the applicants almost punched the guard lol

It turned out...he let those applicants who arrived early inside already! and HE told us to go back at 7! There was a proper rally outside the application center then lol We did not leave even when they told us to just go back AGAIN tomorrow earlier!

After two hours, one of the staff went out and gave away stubs with Appointment Dates...but it was 3 weeks still?! I thought that was a bit crap!

The reason why you're trying the WALK-in submission was for you to be able to submit it that day and not wait another 3 weeks. Bloody hell lol

I was lucky I had a back-up plan...I did book for an appointment before going...only it was the following week, still it was a lot earlier than the 3 weeks they gave us that day.
Wa! that was not really funny experienced Mavid, I can imagined how annoying it was.
When I lodge my application last year,luckily it was not that very busy.
The only thing that annoys me was that after one week I lodge my application I got a call from VFS and asking me to go back to their office to do the Fingerprints scan again as there was a problem on their system on the day I did the Fingerprints.
It was not a big deal to me because I just live in Manila, but some of the applicants were from the Northern part of Luzon and some are from the Visayas region!
