Not ignoring any other posts, please don't misunderstand me :)

The post form notonuksoil is just more prevalent to us at the moment as we have been assured that the visa's are not an issue.I will look into the different types of visa's today.

Thank you to all postings, you are offering valuable knowledge based on personal experience. Many thanks.

Re: Sudden relocation to NY.....
 

Tonrob I think is just trying to point out that you may get more posts like notonuksoil's if you provide answers on the visa. The reason being is that you have to understand that there are many posts on here asking about details of moving when the poster involved stands no chance of getting a visa approved. As such, it can be frustrating to provide detailed answers to people to then find they stood no chance of a visa in the first place, so many will not answer questions such as yours in detail until they are assured there is a valid visa option. Please don't misinterpret this as disbelief that you don't have the visas sorted, just that if you provide details of the visa route you may find answers more forthcoming. A little backward perhaps on first thought but if you hang around here a while you'll understand just how many 'pie in the sky' threads there are.

I'm afraid I can't help on any of your issues but welcome to the forum!

Hey Bink

Many thanks for the insight....... Very informative and now I have a better understanding regarding posts and forums.

Maybe I will just find the time to look at the NY DoE website and make calls after this holiday weekend has passed.

Regarding the visa routes, I'm in the dark to be honest. My other half's company move people across the world regularly and Visa issuing has never been a problem and my new employers live in a world of a specialised skill set and the Visa is (i've been told) is a non issue. I have no idea on what type of Visa it is, only that we will be getting employed on separate Visa's.

I will visit this forum once again when I have all the Visa details and can explain to other posters what type of Visa I have so that people will understand that I am not a 'pie in the sky' person !!!

I do not want to put anyone out and waste anyone's time.

Thanks again Bink and to you other posters. I am being most sincere:)

The visa may, indeed, not be an issue... but the long-time members of this forum have seen some bad shit happen to good people who trusted the employer and who were similarly assured that the visa wouldn't be an issue.


Ask the employer's lawyer... he'll know. Then do the research. Oh... always keep in mind that the lawyer works for the company - he doesn't work for you.

They really should be. They are number one and anything else is pretty irrelevant.

It might not be a concern to the company which route they go, but the direction will affect your futures far more. Some allow you to pursue greencards and in a timely or not manner, some allow spouses to work while others don't. So many different things that'll affect you.

Have been in contact with the companies lawyers and have emailed them a list of my concerns..........

Many thanks :)
