Paris Paris, please do happen. I really need you to.

Dear all,

I got a nice job offer in Paris about a month ago after many months of waiting and hopelessly applying for jobs... (some of you might remember this update but I am not so vain as to expect that..)

Anyway, as it happens when it comes to my (un)employment, there are some working visa issues that my employer was not expecting (I am eligible to work in the UK but not in France). To my surprise, they didn't revoke their offer immediately but they do seem to be a bit ... unnerved...

I asked IC if I will get to go to France in July and got 35 unchanging, progress and flourishing; seems hopeful, no? Any potential dangers I should be aware of?

Then I asked: "What should I do to maximize my chances of getting the Visa for France sorted out?"
I got #16 unchanging: Making Provision.

Can someone please tell me what this means? I've been getting this quite a lot when it comes to current work situation but just don't quite get it.

Maybe, since I feel that the French hate having to deal with my Visa, as if it's below their brilliant minds, I should make provisions to somehow aid them? Just don't know, especially that, when I first realized that this was turning into a nightmare, I kept getting #54, which told me to basically leave it to "the fates."

Thank you.

It suggests that in order to secure a visa you will need help from someone to probably act as a guarantor for you.

Well the company needs to but they seem like they'd rather eat croissant.. Asked what I can do to make my employers more amicable and willing to work on my work permit and got 11.1.4.5 > 28.
The changing lines call for a down to earth attitude and perhaps 28 means to get out of my comfort zone... not sure.

OK study time...

Not really a lot by the look of your answer, it appears that the visa is down to you alone to sort out as your French friends have other more pressing engagements to attend to. So, you will need to pop into the French embassy first thing Monday morning.

I can't - I've exhausted all my options and no one can go to the French embassy without an appointment. They are the only ones who do this, in fact it is required by law.

I am going to send them a down to earth & non pathetic e-mail and provide the busy Frenchman with the number he needs to call. Then I'll ask my French-speaking former employer to vouch for my brilliance. That is really all I can do.

And of course, Monday just happens to be a bank holiday in France.

Of course.
