April Timeline

D'oh!!! My latest FaceTime call from my husband a few hours ago, he answered looking like a drowned rat just having got off the train. "Welcome to Glasgow!" he answered 

What kind of work do you do if you don't mind me asking. My parents (and soon me if I don't get this visa) live in Melbourne

I'm in finance (director).  Conversation killer right there.   

Harris Corporation brought me to the UK.

I had a friend that worked at Harris a few years ago. Moved over to tropicana tho

Hi Binzab - when did Sheffield receive your documents, if you don't mind me asking?

UPS alerted us that they were delivered on March 31st. We never received notification from Sheffield.

Yes but we've had people from April already get decisions. This is potentially an outlier.

Hope its not a bad sign regarding the decision that was made (i.e. hope we weren't refused)

I wouldn't read too much into it. Don't stress out over the weekend. It'll all work out!

No, no, sorry! I'm just being self-pitying.

The weather has been fantastic in Stirling for the last 3 weeks. Almost no rain, low 60's, sunny. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm just 45 minutes max away from Glasgow.

Ha! I suspected Harris when you mentioned Melbourne. I am hoping to go back to work after a bit of time settling in. In your experience do you think American companies are more likely to hire Americans than British companies? 

My fellow April waiting room friends--have a good weekend. Next week will hopefully give us some good results.

Great! Definitely planning a visit there

I did Skype interviews with two companies and got offer d both positions! No one seemed to care I was American after I said I didn't need them to sponsor me! 

What kind of work do you do and where are you going to be cause my company is actually hiring!

Now for the long weekend.
Hope it goes by quickly!

Congrats!!! Enjoy England for all of us 

If the timeline holds, people that applied April 10-14 should hear back next week, so hopefully I hear something at the end of the month!
