You truly are so helpful...come come across as ego stroking here!<BR/><BR/>Just touching bases to let you know that the company are now working on an offer but we are all trying to figure out the logistics of the visa issue. I've made some progress and have been keeping the recruiter and the company on board with my "discoveries"! <BR/><BR/>I am normally proactive and have made contact with <BR/><BR/>1) US consular in Canada to ask questions...not helpful as they are generally better for people who are applying fro H1B's through US based companies <BR/><BR/>2) US immigration department (hate to say it but this is the worst dept to deal with!) Painful and not helpful at all...someone types in my question and the computer spits out an answer which is so generic its painful<BR/><BR/>3) Emailing an immigration lawyer- so I have been getting a bit of free advice from the lawyer and this has been the most helpful route..but he now wants to charge a consultation fee for $150. I called the recuiter and am waiting to see if the company will reimburse me. My point is, HR are at a loss and Im working harder and faster on this by talking to an actual immigration lawyer then it would be worth the $150 to get professional help.<BR/><BR/>So its now a waiting game and Im no longer THINKING about the salary! All i know is that we have both invested a lot of time in this and I now want this job badly! <BR/><BR/>I hope my digging is a good way to start this relationship by showing the company how committed I am to making their lives a bit easier if possible!<BR/><BR/>Have a great night!<BR/><BR/>DAPIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
