yes, that is the main point of my post as in the old times with the TM 6 paper form I/we filled the visa Number space with the re-entry permit number....but now with a new passport filling the visa Number space with the re-entry permit stamped/ linked on the old passport would maybe create confusion in this new TDAC system.
If other people will report in the future the same story-same border-same visa type, this FB group will have an issue to discuss about. Otherwise this post would be useless...and imo it's already useless.
This story seems caused just by the "not so nice" mood of the IO today. At the end the OP sorted out her border bounce with no other major problem, as we can see from the pic of her stamp she posted above.
I just read somewhere else that the graphic and colors of the sticker for all kind of visas changed few months ago. But the point of my post is still there: the issue of a METV with 3 months validity at the same cost and requirements of a SETV.
