I went to get fingerprinted and leave my signature and have my passport verified for my citizenship application today, and she saw in the system that I had an application to renew my residence card in the meantime (because that process only takes a few weeks and citizenship takes over a year), and asked if I wanted to do the ones for that too at the same time so I don't have to wait for the other appointment I'd made (which wasn't until December because it's so hard to get an appointment). As usual, the police in the immigration paperwork department being super nice and friendly and going out of their way to help! I've had one bend rules for my applications at least twice and once one of them called me to let me know my application was fine, but I would be eligible for applying on the basis of family membership instead of a student visa which was way better, and when I agreed they did it for me! It all took less than half an hour.
