Just a heads up... I don't know that anyone will be recruiting in the spring. The top firms have made redundancies in permanent staff and have issues pay cuts and freezes to all staff, including trainees, until summer 2010. Some are still giving exam bonuses if you pass all exam on you first take. A...

Hi! It's time consuming and tiring, but if you have the drive, it'll be worth it. I'm from the US and have a degree in Literature. I am now working at a Big 4 firm and starting from CAP 1. It hasn't been easy, but then again, anything worth having isn't usually easily achieved. I came over on a 4 mo...

For DV-Lottery purposes, it's based on birthplace (or spouse's birthplace). So you normally register as Irish. E-3 is a temporary visa, so you can apply based on your (Australian) passport. If you subsequently go for a green card, again they look at birthplace. It doesn't really go by birthplace. I...

The bottom line is that you meet the qualifications to apply for the lottery, meaning you're a citizen of a country that qualifies. As long as you have that, you can apply from wherever on earth you wish. You can even change to the green card from whatever visa you are on.

Under the current immigration law it isn't possible. I don't think it will be under the new one they are drafting either.

You will either have to join him as a student or on a work permit or green card.

Like JAJ said, you going for British Citizenship may be faster.

I would just go ahead and apply for the student visa. You might want to talk to a lawyer, but I would think that you wouldn't be held accountable for something that happened at age 9.

Again, either just apply or seek legal advice.

This has been asked many times in the US Immigration section. If you are not intendind to return to the UK after marriage, you may enter the US on VWP. I also no this from experience because my Brother-in-law is British and came to the US on VWP when he married my sister. No problems there. You just...

If this is a requirement for you degree and approved by your university, I would contact them. You shouldn't be refused on that basis for a required internship.

I'm not sure who told you that, but it's incorrect. Setting up a business takes time and planning. Then you have to get it approved, so unless you have the money to invest and a great business plan . . . good luck. You can study full-time here. However, there really aren't any courses that start in ...

If you are planning to marry in the US and return to the UK then you can marry on a visitor visa. If you plan to settle in the US directly after your marriage, then you must apply for the fiance visa before going to the US. In regards to settling in the UK after marriage. See the following website ....

HI, Well, I don't have much for you as my sister married a Brit an moved to the UK. However, this visa works like any other in the sense that there will be dates on it that are in regards to a window of time you may enter the country. This does not refer to you length of stay. You 90 days will them ...

There have been issues in the past with the GNIB denying a student visa/stamp renewal to students who took up interships that were an integral part of their degree. However, the Irish Council for International Students (ICOS) has worked this out with the GNIB. According to the ICOS website , article...

When work is required for your degree, you will be granted permission to work. I would contact the GNIB to be sure you don't need an adjustment to your stamp.

Something needs to be done. Not only do these immigration officer have too much power, they don't know the laws to have the power.

When applying a work permit, I don't think it matters. However, you must have a job offer in Ireland in order to apply for a work permit or greencard.

Well, there isn't really anything set in stone about this, but typically, when studying in Ireland, you usually aren't allowed to bring dependents. Of course, like I said before, this isn't set in stone. Your best bet is to email or ring the GNIB and try and get your question answered. However, if y...

Those training for ACCA (after completion of a degree) can get a stamp 1A allowing them to work fulltime in accountancy allowing them to get ACCA. Actually, you do not require a degree to get a stamp 1A, though it helps in terms of securing a trainee accountant position, which is part of the reqire...

i do app for the delay i have been pre-occupied! guys thanx a million times over for all the replies! the truth is america and australia may be nice but not where my heart is, it's somewhere else (ireland). I have been fooling myself over the years that it was nothing! now that she is down here in ...

The bigger issue is getting accepted into a college in the first place. Once that happens the process is easy enough, you just take evidence of of your funds and proof of registration to the GNIB and you will get a 1 year stamp. Whatever you may have heard about the Irish education system, it is no...

You will not get a student stamp earlier than 30 days prior to your start date. Where are you at in your education? What do you wish to study? Where to you want to study? You might find some programs at the smaller schools with an intake in the January/February. It can also be very expensive.

Agree with you. I have asked BOI & they said i can apply for a 9 month interest free loan based on my GNIB card (stamp 1) even i have a student account Can any of you who applied for a loan tell me long it usually takes? I'm here on a Stamp 1A, and have a student account. I applied for a student pr...

Yes, it is possible. The H-1B is one of the non-immigrant visas that allows you to switch status while in the US. So, once you are with a company, if they wish to sponsor you for a Green Card, they would do so while you are on the H-1B. It could take 2 years + for the Green Card to be awarded for mo...

The Stamp 4 EUFAM is not a permanent residence card. The non-EEA national on that stamp is eligible to apply for permanent residency after 5 years. Permanent Residence - EU citizens and their family members may apply, respectively, for a Permanent Residence Certificate or Permanent Residence Card af...

Going in on an E3 is not the end of the world. You could also apply for the H-1B, thought it is more difficult to get. The government website states that you are eligible to change your status within the US while on the H-1B. Also, I was reading the US website about the E3. It only states that you h...

If you were going to for the immigrant visa, and E1 (Employment First Preference) , you would have to have 3 years in teaching or research. This work permit is processed the fastest. E1 is not a visa, it's an employment based green card (there is a visa called E1, but it's something different). The...
