us work visas...a joke!
you are soooooooo "ferpectly right"! i'm an american and just recently married a british man. we came back to america for the wedding. he had to endure all the eye-scanning, dna-processing (swab from inside if cheek), finger-printing, etc. just to get in the country, yet i've never had to deal with any of that in any of the countries i've ever visited.
now, onto the work visa...we are legally married, i have been an american citizen since birth, and so on. i thought the visa procedure would be somewhat straight-forward. how wrong i was...
he is still unable to work, get a drivers license, register for university clesses, etc. we've applied for the visa, done all the paperwork and even hired a lawyer to simplify things, yet still no visa yet. have been told it will take another 2 months on top of the 2 months we've been waiting. the visa application alone cost $745. he also had to have a full medical evaluation done by the civil surgeon which cost over $300.
i had no problems of any kind getting work or studying any any of the coutries i've resided in/visited, but yet my own husband has difficulty after difficulty.
is it any wonder the EU makes it so difficult for americans to work in europe?
