Zafar clearly didn’t get how the system worked.
As an AS he is placed in a building to live. If he leaves the building for long without approval (like staying overnight elsewhere for instance) he loses his spot and it gets noted during his processing.
Zafar was pretty fucked either way.

This isn’t a new phenomenon. It was reported years ago that Pakistanis were doing the same thing. I really do hope the finger prints of applicants is cross checked agains the British data. The fact they are attempting this makes think they are not.
