writingdreamer July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 Happy belated birthday, caprice! Sorry I haven't been around, been too caught up in other things, including trying to get a visitors visa for England. Got an email from the processing place yesterday saying the visa's been denied, no idea why and I have to wait until I get my stuff back before I find out. I can appeal, so I'm hoping it's something that can be easily fixed. In the meantime, I got hired at two places but have been getting very few hours, so I applied at and got a position at a Walgreens(drugstore) near my house. Submitted my notice at the place that's downtown, simply because I still don't have a car and it's the most inconvienent of the two jobs to get to, plus there's the fact that I have yet to get my first paycheck from them. Just waiting for life to calm down for a bit, not sure when that will happen. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2165-small-talk-hall-of-just-talk/page/12/#findComment-1337009
caprice July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 Thanks, wd! Whatever went wrong with your visa application, I hope it turns out to be something easy, like a signature was forgotten, and not fall-out from your attempted trip earlier this year. If that's the case, I hate to have to suggest it, but you two might need to consult an immigration lawyer over there. Good luck with all the work hours!

Okay, it's getting clearer. What I'd suggest, and it looks like you're already working in this direction, is that you do what you can to have only one really good job and work down those loans. It doesn't matter what kind of job Keith has, you're dragging debt with you, and that never looks good to Immigration. I'd have been in the same situation while I was paying off my undergrad loans.
