ok..more info for ya...basically what's happening is that here in CQ, "most" of the schools (not too sure about training schools)are to be, or will be safea certified. this was from the experts bureau..ok..so now that they are certified, most of them will also get certified to hire their own teachers..ok..but most of these schools have no clue on what to do...ok..so they hire a company or school to do it for them, which will in turn, also provide a foreign teacher for their school! This is my situation! In the past my school, which is also set up as a training school, would sign contracts with public schools and provide them with a foreign teacher. But, I think they were not certified to do this..so...the schools are now able to hire foreign teachers, my schools helps them with the documentation and provides the foreign teacher (same price as before I'm sure)

the visa situation is this..we had an interview at the foreign experts bureau so our new certificate would now be under the school we are teaching at, not under our company, which was the case in the past! ..no problem until we went to the psb to change the z visa under the name of the school we are teaching at, not under the current company.......but, because our visa is not expired until next year, the psb said we must cancel the z, apply for an L, then reapply for a new z under the school we are teaching at!!! they did not say anything about having to leave the country to do this!! So I'm going to sit and wait, with my thumb up my ass of course, for a phone call in the next couple of days to find out what we must do! Will let you all know what happens!!

Cheers!
