I did look, but their situation is a little different and not many posts at all.

@Paul ********

do you have an example of what that would look/sound like?

@Michael *********

would it be better to simply say I’m a freelancer then, and not mention the company?

@Dnatjugweme ***********

did they tell you why yours took so long? Did you have to resubmit any documents?

@Dnatjugweme ***********

thank you for your reply! Just to respond to your points:

1. What timeframe is normal?

2. Why would you say that? I DO have an LLC, incorporated in the US with articles of organisation etc. For the consultancy work I do it is important for some contract bids. I just set it up recently. I was working as a freelance multimedia journalist/communications specialist for humanitarian/UN organisations as well as news/media for the past 12 years.

3. Ok, I will skip the CV then
