You are very right. The guard at the door in Byo checks your papers first and is very rude! It's as if he crammed the responses to the form so if you did not write what he crammed he tears up your form and says redo... fun fact, you have to take a spare blank application form because they don't keep those.... I could go on and on but my experience was horrible. I even had to argue with the guard over the type of visa I'm applying for! I lost it then and reminded him that there were cameras in the room and threatened to take it up with his superiors and Fawcett security too and that's when he eased off. Once I was in everything no issues were raised. Veronica forwarded my query to the embassy guys but there has been no response. Zvakaoma, kunzima! They complain about the brain drain from Africa but I guess they don't mean it! It's more difficult to relocate to another African country than to move overseas! But because we want to be as close to home as possible we just have to enddure!!

Any news yet? Veronica did respond but just forwarded our communication to DIRCO officials to prioritise my application but no further communication since then.
