Visa Application

In the visa application list of documents required.
My criminal record clearance was required
And it states that all documents should be available at application.

So after checking on internet,
I realized its not that easy to get a clearance.
First i need to be there physically to apply.
Prepare some documents and pay $45.
Wait for 10days and collect it personally.
Its only open Monday to Friday morning.
And the fiance says that they can do so just a click on internet.
Hmmm..

Today i woke up early
Since my work starts at 1pm
I decided to head down to apply for my criminal record clearance.

I was fine to queue just to apply for a pass to enter.
I was surprised at the number of people in the small room.
Only 2 out of 3 counters were open.
Not a good sign.

After waiting near an hour,
it was finally my turn.
And in 2 minutes i was rejected.
Apparently I should apply my visa first
and the embassy will give me a letter to request for the clearance report.

Wait a minute!!!
Then why did the list of documents required (for application) includes this report?!
Can't they just add a line that it is to be apply after you apply the visa?!
So i wasted 1 hour of my life for nothing 
and need to repeat this procedure again.
Sigh.

I was thinking that it will be good to apply for it now 
since it takes 10days to apply
and fiance's documents should arrive by then
Looking at it now, means i cant do anything till his documents arrive.
Another delay..sigh
Now i know why people always say visa application is difficult.

:(
