Hello All (And request for advice)

I was always up front last year about not having a visa(we had really wanted me to move there first buy a house and have a big wedding but alas NYC court house it was to be together) and I got two offers and the retractions over it. It's
Like people don't listen 😫

It's because it's a university that I hope they wouldn't interview if unwilling to sponsor.  They definitely know the ins and outs of sponsorship licenses.  Of course there could be a new hiring mangager who doesn't know what they are doing.

So... I got the job.  Next stage figuring everything out.

Fantastic!  Did they say they'll sponsor for the position?   

They should do all the work!

Congratulations!

KFdancer is right --  they need to step up with sponsorship and ideally walk you through the visa process. You can't do it on your own!

I accepted the job at basically the end of day in the UK, as I have a 7 hour time difference.  I am hoping to get something from HR tonight/UK tomorrow.  I plan on talking to the consulate office in Denver, and I have been told by others they can help.  I am crossing my fingers they will sponsor, as that is the easiest option as I understand it.

Great news about the job .

As I said on your other thread, I wouldn't bother talking to the Denver consulate, as they do not deal with visas and may not even know what you are talking about.

All the information about Tier 2 visa sponsorship is here:

And what the company has to do before you can apply for a visa is here:

It is the company's responsibility to get the ball rolling now, so there is nothing you can do until the university issues you with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) for the visa.

If they won't sponsor you/issue a CoS, then unfortunately you won't be able to take the job as you won't have a valid visa that allows work.

Yay congrats! That's very exciting! Hoping you get in touch with them today and they help clear everything up!

They sent me an email saying that they would get me a sponsorship certificate.  I'm guessing the woman who tried to cancel my interview was either operating under a miscommunication from the department, or she was taking too much upon herself..

Now for actually getting the visa and moving.

Waahooo!!

Now you're cooking! Congratulations! 

Hello all,

I just wanted to post here, that my move is complete, except for my stuff which may be a few more weeks in arriving.  I start my new job tomorrow, and I think I have most of the issues sorted out for now.  Thank you again for all your help.

Good luck with the job! I hope it's everything you want it to be.
