Like incredibly high demand people are willing to take a substantial pay cut for a visa, even a temporary visa. Especially if they can bring a family. I’m in the back rooms. This is like nothing I’ve seen in America before.

I understand the politics at play in appearing friendly to the USA at a national level, but any recruiter in a LGBTQIA friendly nation that is not at least shooting a discreet shot at queer American high-demand scientific, medical, and tech professionals is missing a huge opportunity.

Testing Croissant. Hopefully everyone across the multiverse can see this post. ‍️

@wdlindsy @Nonya_Bidniss something I’m worried about failing is CJIS background checks required for any emigrating

Just a reminder if you see someone stealing food you didn’t and if you know someone undocumented other than Elon you don’t.

My hearing triggers on the word “pronouns” as an impending threat in a crowd now, apparently.

@shlee @Taco_lad @matthealey @decryption @daedalus I hope so. I am a bit old, so this is very challenging.

@Taco_lad @matthealey @decryption @shlee @daedalus I am afraid they don't know me.

@matthealey Y E S I need ALL of the references from Australian organizations. Every single one people are willing to give me is a huge, huge, huge help.

@zackstern @drew I promise to be back to that soon, if I can just get out of here

@drew do you know how puking drunk I would be if there was booze in my house right now?

If you have just one good hopeful vibe to spare, I could really use it.

Some of yall need the laugh like me right now.

@annehargreaves Yes, relative to immigration. A desirable skills immigrant is 25-32. I am 41 years old.

@annehargreaves I am old and lose points for it. I need every single path and edge I can possibly get. No, I think this is pretty much speaking and writing.

@annehargreaves Yes, that is a worldwide standard english language exam. You can be exempted from taking it in Commonwealth countries, but they then give you a low score (less points).

The wait for IELTS is currently a month, so if you are waffling on this you might want to start checking those boxes - IELTS, very old tax statements and paystubs (I had to go back to 2008), apostille transcripts, birth certificate, and diplomas. Identity History Summary (there's a wait at the post office for that, too). My university made ordering that stuff very easy online, but a lot of the other stuff I am very fortunate to live in a big city for - a lot of you may need to plan significant travel to Chicago, DC, etc.

Oh good… I plead with the universe for any ACS member who can zoom.

Home bar sold. No more gin until Australia. Australia or bust.

A lot of people say “get an Airbnb or extended stay first to apartment hunt” but I do not understand how that works with shipping belongings and selling my house.
