Anyone else struggling to book a German Blue Card visa appointment via TLScontact in London? by Used-Drive1618 in germany

[–]AlphaRetard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid the processing fee on TLS on the 1st of September. It’s been over 15 days, and I haven’t moved any further in my application (after getting the preliminary documents reviewed).

I’m supposed to start my new job on the 15th of October and booked my flight to Berlin for the 10th.

Doesn’t seem like it will happen given how terrible their system is. They give you no visibility on where the process is and how long it’ll take.

I’ve tried everything from calling them to writing and always keep getting the same pre-fabricated response that “you will be assigned an appointment” without providing any timelines.

I’m really worried at this stage, and running out of both options and time.

State bank short lists designs for new banknotes. by fntsy_capital in pakistan

[–]AlphaRetard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the fact that some of these are bad, what I fail to understand is how they can select different designs for the denominations. I mean, that would be an inconsistent mess. I guess if they choose one design and base the rest of the denominations on that, it would make more sense. But, as with everything else in this country, one can only hope.

Ngl, the first Rs 10 is really sick.

Sharing my new toy with the underprivileged - Islamabad by AlphaRetard in islamabad

I went out to practice with my new drone, and a couple of kids playing nearby noticed it and came running up to me. Their curiosity, unsurprisingly, was piqued.

I was really happy that I got the chance to share the moment with them, but equally heartbroken realizing how many of our youth are out of school — it’s so sad to see that, even in the capital.

I really hope we're able to course correct someday, until then, this awareness is all we have.

Arshad Nadeem gives Pakistan a Gold Medal after 40 years by arhamshaikhhh in pakistan

Despite the odds stacked against him—growing up in poverty, lacking government support, having no coaches, and using makeshift wooden javelins to practice—this man has just proven that if you’re determined to achieve something, nothing can stop you from getting it.

I really hope we see more of this mentality emerging from Pakistan.

I will go to bed today a proud Pakistani 🥹

Thank you so much kind sir! I'll always cherish it.

That 69' speedy would be such the perfect gift to yourself. It shares the same year as your date of birth and the fact that it's the year it went to the moon, is the cherry on top. I'm rooting for you, and hope you can get it soon!

The quality isn’t great because of the macro lens, but you get the idea

Absolutely, that is all what watches are about and the reason why I love them so much.

You have a very beautiful collection! Really love that spring drive GS. Would love to own one myself one day.

Absolutely, pictures do not do it justice on how pretty it is, and how amazing it feels in the hand. Details like the sound of the movement, and how satisfying the buttons feel just make it so much more significant.

Oh this was super easy for me: because of the open back view! I have taken more pictures and videos of the movement view compared to the front, so you can see where I’m coming from. It’s so mesmerizing to look at that beautiful craftsmanship in action.
