Tod Daniels yes that happended to me. I went a day after the holiday and they waived the fee. I just added that if you extent a exempt stamp early they dont always add the 30 days extension on the original date. They sometimes add the 30 days on the day you go to extend it, even if its a week or 2 away from expiring
They didnt just add to the expired date for my brother in law. His visa expired on the 7th. He went to extent it on the 1st and he had to leave the country on the 1st. This was a few months ago. :(
He is cheaper but only by 30 RM. Ive only ever done by banana and the guy is really sweet. I did infact meet jim and hes great. If the visa i applied for was a bit more complicated id definitely go to jim . Otherwise im very happy at the service i got from banana
