Praw Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 My gf has been offered a post in the usa, she worked there for 3 years or so but has been back in scotland for the past 5 years. She's keen to go, in makes great sense financially for her but I'm unsure about going with her. I'm a chef so work opportunities for me are excellent over there, just unsure about making such a big move. Anyone gone abroad to work and wants to share there experiences? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can make any kind of judgement here is by seeing a pic of your girlfriend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say working abroad is a great experience but depends 100% where. USA is so big it's not easy to generalise but my experience is it tends to be soulless. Had the chance to go but stayed in Hong Kong for various reasons. Now in the Philippines but not working. Much depends on your plans with gf also. On balance, why not give it a go...you can always come back. Unless they shoot you but that's unlikely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) My gf has been offered a post in the usa, she worked there for 3 years or so but has been back in scotland for the past 5 years. She's keen to go, in makes great sense financially for her but I'm unsure about going with her. I'm a chef so work opportunities for me are excellent over there, just unsure about making such a big move. Anyone gone abroad to work and wants to share there experiences? Would you get a work permit? As a chef you could get work without one but you'd get ripped off and risk getting deported and not allowed to return. If you can get a work permit I'd definitely give it a go, you could always come home if you don't like it. Or just go for a holiday first and see what you think.

Raidernation Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Aye, green card could be a stumbling block, took me long enough to get one and I was married to a US citizen. I'd sayo, but be prepared to have leave after your 90 days are up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praw Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'll need to look in to work permit situation. Gf got a green card no problem last time, but I don't envisage it being a permanent move - rather a year or two for the experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 My toe is black and blue. Has been for a wee while now. Do I go see the doc or just bide my time and let it heel some how? The nail is not falling off. Not sore at all Did it happen at Mhari's wedding? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As RN alluded to, don't enter the country without a work visa of some sort. They'll just make you leave and re-enter with the proper one. Pain in the arse. Good luck getting one without being married to a citizen however as, unless things have changed, they're like hens' teeth and aren't cheap. Definitely go if you can. If things don't work out with the girlfriend, you'll be reeking of the fanny by the time you get back. The accent goes down an absolute storm, and I'm not remotely joking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be different now with the economy picking up. Pissed off I didn't go now after reading last para! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
