An administrator might reject your photo (‘it makes you look too young’), cite the deadline (‘too early, we’ll lose it before it’s due’) or suddenly decide that something innocuous needs a notarised translation. Their primary task is to get rid of you before you can make them do their job. Your primary task is to make it easier for them to do their job than it is to turn you away. This means preparing responses to all conceivable objections and considering variables like the length of queue, how close it is to 5pm, and what kind of mood they’re in.
