不解

差不多時候更新我的星條旗國簽證, 相當不解.

不解之一: 照相店搶錢
簽證相片規格: 2"x 2" 白色背景, 人頭須佔1", 眼睛至相片底線須1&1/8"-1&3/8", 耳朵盡量外露... 規格故然相當"理想化", 我卻以為以現今的數碼科技, 如何习轉的要求都應該是手到拿來. 當然, 我指的习轉要求是有關相片的維度, 大小, "佈局擺位" 等客觀規格. 若然閣下的臉不幸地不能合附 [人頭須佔1", 眼睛至相片底線1&1/8"-1&3/8", 耳朵外露] 等要求的話, 則另作別論.
基於這個"數碼借位易過借火"的假設, 實在不明白為何簽證相要HK$80一打而其他個人照片只需HK$40一打 - 純粹搶錢.

不解之二: HK$10一分鐘的一般查詢熱線
原來現在的簽證(及護照)簽發後會由香港郵政送遞給申請人, 需時數天(尤記得n年前是可即日/翌日自行拿取的). 由於我的時間相當迫切, 實在需要有關當局的指引, 看看可否/如何加快處理. 細看網頁上的查詢渠道:
(1) Visa Information Call Center: a USER-PAYS service (HK$10/minute) that provides GENERAL visa information... available Mon-Fri 8:30a.m. - 5:30p.m. (except HK public holidays)
(2) Visa Information Unit: Located on the ground floor... answers in-person and written inquiries... does not schedule visa appointments
(2.1) In Person: Inquiry hours Mon-Fri, 3:00p.m. - 4:00p.m. (except xx and local holidays). The public is seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Waiting times vary and can, at times, be longer than anticipated.
(2.2) By email, fax, mail: Responses within 3 business days

想點!!!!!

不解之三: 相金先惠, 貸借免問
沒有那八百大洋的收據密碼, 休想預約

結論: 教我如何可以不愛它
