Immigration, woo
Jul. 25th, 2010 05:17 pmI always kind of understood why those agencies exist to help people with immigration paperwork, but I'm in the middle of it myself and wow: this stuff is nuts.
I've managed to hack my way through all of this, but I can see how it would be so much easier to have someone on side who's done it all before and knows what's a special case, or exception, or normal everyday standard stuff.
Like, this one form asks what tuition and maintenance I still need to pay to the uni (ie: everything). But I don't know if I need to report how much my accommodation is going to cost. I'm not living in an on-campus res hall, but I'll be in a uni-managed off-campus house. I don't have a space on the form to say I am living in residence (and I only kind of am) but there is a place to say how much accommodation/maintenance I'll have to pay. Unfortunately, it's not entirely clear if this relates to my situation (uni-as-landlord) or to a totally different situation (where boarding fees are included in the total course costs).
That's just one box, hiding there in the middle of the fifth of six pages.
I think the right word for this is daunting.
Also: Inception was fun (science fiction heist film! with Acting!) and I would like to see it again.
