Yay Seattle
How hard was the emigration process? The UK to Seattle is the exact thing I want to do.

Process was an interesting one...
I'm only here on a three year work visa, and even with work sponsorship and paying for it to be fast tracked it took about 7 months to get through it all. The only bad part (except for the timescales) is the interview at the US Embassy...they give you an interview time, andthen when you arrive, you begin queueing for approx. 4-5 hours in a crowded hall. And then the interview itself lasts for maybe 3 minutes at most. Very annoying!

OIC. I'd be looking at like permanent emigration. Fuck the UK.
That interview sounds 'fun'.

Cheers :)

I can't get on a skilled migrant visa as I don't have a degree
Canada seems cool though. Bilingual, young and able to support myself, scored well on the 'how suitable are you' site from them.

MOVE TO CANADA, EH!

I wonder if the US has one of them. I've heard they're crying out for male teachers especially at primary level.
So that'd be useful for them I'm sure.

The US has skilled migrant, yeh
I could move permanently if I invested in a business supporting 10 American citizens, but it's about half a million dollars minimum.
Whoops.
( moohalaa, Tue 1 Jul 2008, 22:58, archived)

that's why I'm on a temporary visa now..
the permanent visa is apparently even more of a bitch to get, you have to essentially prove that whatever job you will be looking for cannot already be completed by an American! By doing it this way, I am basically working in the job for a couple of years, then will go home and begin the process for permanent visa knowing that I've suddenly got specialized knowledge.

just say you are doing a job that requires a sense of sarcasm.
not many americans can do that.

Apart from that, life's all good. I have two (rainy) days off, so I'm happy. Even if it's shit weather.

i can't believe the amount of pandering going on on this fucking website. It's not a lonely hearts site or a meeting place for the developmentally retarded.

Problem is..
..the amount of ladies willing to accept sweaty gazzes from spotty sexual inadequates is shrinking by the day.
Thus the panderers are switching their attentions to the pretty boy.
Only yesterday I received 3 gazzes asking for my MSN from Master of Turnips, 7 from Sexface and 967 from Syncubus.

"35,000 posts on /talk? do you ever leave the house or get laid when it's not cyber?"
I do - every day in fact, when I go to work. And I don't need to resort to the internet to find a partner, unlike some people I could mention.

Please feel free to dismiss this inconvenient statement of facts as "dull" and project your own psychological insecurities onto me as necessary.

Oh, and I might also mention that I don't flirt with fat failures online in a desperate bid to justify my pointless existence to a world that doesn't really care.

bloody hell you're harsh! that was not flirting.
