However, when I handed in the application, the clerk who processed it didn't even look twice -- just asked if I needed it the same day (I didn't), told me to come back the following day after noon and thanked me.
Yeah, I'm up to about a dozen visas by now, although there is only one old one in this passport.
The TA that did the visa for us didn't consider a 2-year for me a possibility at this time, though.
