老熬真地气愤不过,加拿大香港领事馆虽然说“重新考虑”我的申请,但现在看来,这个reconsider几乎无异于一个重打锣鼓重开张的圈套。
我在过去的两三年里极少看领事馆或移民部的网站,对申请表之类的事情几乎忘记。在接到领事馆的短信后,开始还以为是一个补救措施,可是对照要求填的表和其它材料时,才明白这与对一个新申请者的要求并无多大差别。可事实上,我在1999年10月就拿到了档案号,在2001年10月通过面试!领事馆说签证在2002年4月就寄给我了,可事实是,我根本没有收到任何东西。
现在我已经基本把这次要求的材料准备得差不多了。但是,在把这些材料寄出同时,老熬要明确告诉领事馆:以后不再提交任何材料,不接受面试,我最多只接受一次体检。对于一个努力了5年、空等了3年的申请者来说,继续纵容领事馆的无理做法,无异于损害自己的尊严;我提交现在这些材料――这几乎是一次对5年前的重复――只是为了完成补救,而决非意味着自愿再次面对VO漫不经心的眼光;除非他们纠正自己的错误,否则,我将彻底追查3年前到底是哪个不负责任的VO经手了我的Case,他(她)必须对此负责!
Anyway, I will fight to the end.
The VO's behavior reminds me of a paragraph of Fortress Besieged, which depicts a talk between Fang Hongjian and Gao Songnian, president of Sanlu University, who didn't not send Fang an invitation but pretended he had done so:
"No, I didn't! I really didn't get it! Was it important? When did you send it?" Fang Hongjian said, looking as if he were the one lying and had received the letter but was now denying it.
"Ai! How could you not have goten it?" Gao sat up straight, his look of feigned surprise carried to the perfection and far more natural than Fang's genuine dismay.That Gao hadn't become an actor was a misfortune for the stage and a blessing for the actors.
我看老熬做事情,还是过于温和了。发信问个明白,what does recosideration mean? 同时,正式向使馆索要当年的有关资料。nnd干脆来个得理也不饶人。做好准备吧干干脆脆打一场官司。别给他们太长的时间了,让他们整得死去活来。弄不巧,到时候真的整出一个超过诉讼时效的说法,哑巴吃黄连-有苦难言。
