Today, I accepted a great job offer I've been working months to earn so I can continue to live with my fiancé here in Poland. I just found out that my work visa was denied. Now I have to fly home to Canada and reapply before coming back. This takes a month. My new job starts tomorrow. FML

Spiralling out of control

Today, I was told a job offer that would've changed my life had been taken back, due to one part in the onboarding process. I’ve already sold my car, ended the lease to my apartment, and purchased a non refundable plane ticket. With little to no money and the Christmas break coming soon, I feel like I’m going to die with no backup plan. FML

Don't apply for a job without a visa. That's just plain dumb. And you can start your job, explain the visa situation, and reapply for one online while in Poland. You only need to fly back to Canada for one day to get your biometrics done. Then you can return to Poland as a visitor or whatever. Your work should give you a month's leeway and if you have a promise of a job a visa should only take 15 days or so once it reaches your homeland's office. YDI for freaking out and posting on FLM instead of doing your research. Stupid people.

does anyone think this post strongly resembles the plot in The Proposal? Anywho, if it is real, and if you are officially engaged to be married, why didn't you immediately apply for a fiance visa?

Very poor planning on your part. You check the visa thing BEFORE you apply for the job!

YDI for not sorting it out earlier. And Poland is pretty shitty. Lots of racist/homophobic/nationalist/dumb ppl. I know this because I live there. Get your girl and go back to Canada

I live in California so I live in the USA. I went to public school from kindergarten-8th grade. I was learning multiplication and division tables when I was a 2nd grader. I'm going to be a senior in high school after summer and I'll be in Calculus. So our math system doesn't totally suck, it just depends on what school you go to.

Polands a great place to live. Just Americans forget you can be happy if your not part of their country, the country i might add that is not top of the 'best countries to live in' list.

Don't fly home except for paperwork. Use a legal proxy where ever able.
