Other useful info:
I wanted to apply through NCS and they wanted me to present some documents which I thought were not necessary and I have lost them a few years ago. Out of frustration, I left the NCS office and went straight to the post office and post the application myself.

Finally, the long and anxious wait is over and another chapter opens.
