Visa application
Just got back from Italian embassy. I went there to apply for my visa for my trip in January. I was planning to go for a skiing trip there.
I went there after I had an appointment with them and came in the morning. I reached there at about 1030 in the morning. It's after they have a problem with the railway that there were no train from Slough to London Paddington. In the end, I took train from Slough to Windsor and from Windsor I took train to London Waterloo. It's a longer way. I ended up reach the embassy one hour later than I was planning.
When I reached there, I took a number and waited for my turn. It didn't take long for my turn. When I reached the locket, I submitted all my documents. The lady there checked all the documents. When she checked my work permit visa, she just noticed that it's less than 3 months from my trip. That is when she told me that she cannot proceed with my application because of that. I asked her to try to apply for me anyway. But she refused!!! Oh noo... I asked her again but she said that she can't or won't.
I walked off from the embassy with dissapointment. It's not that I will stay there if that's what they are afraid of. It's not that I going to do something bad when I am there. I just want to go there for holiday and have fun with my friends. I have booked everything, accomodation and return flight as well.
It's really dissapointing. I can't join my friends for this trip. Was really looking forward for this trip. Oh well, I think it can't be help. I am really sorry guys... You all have to travel for me. Enjoy the trip and take more pictures for me to see. ='(
