to those crowing with delight that the Americans are shipping out...

not so fast.

those of us with actual visas are harder to get rid of than herpes.

i reckon i'm stayin'. tough luck that, ace :p

@George *******

12x a year on a 30 day non-visa isn't a problem, trying to stay more than 6 months out of 12 on 30 day stamps is the problem. that said i don't know if it's calendar year or rolling 12 months...

don't ask me how i know <adjusts halo>

@Carlo *********

well they need me, anyway. I install and maintain some of the servers and switches that enable you to argue on the internet

@David *****

this is why you need to take the initiative.

@David *****

take action in case it doesn't happen. don't rely on your employer to sort things out.

they should know how to do papers, they hire teachers regularly.

looking grim for border hops in the near future. if possible at all, it may end in 14 days' quarantine on both ends.

that said, pretty much nothing is certain at the moment, and anything certain ain't likely to stay certain for long

@David *****

i doubt you have other options, unless they extend the amnesty.

how's it difficult to sort out the paperwork in 3 weeks? i did exactly that in May. granted i had help, but...

just sort the paperwork out. it's your best option.

asinine but not surprising. the UK hasn't got much right in its COVID-19 response, why start now...

@Shannon *******

right, so you are more concerned with ethics than legality? News flash: do it right then.

"typical east coast attitude.". "Beefcake.". "Trolling.'

So basically you have no coherent argument, no point, and no idea what you're trying to say, so you fling poo like a chimp?

Stay classy. And enjoy your flight back to wherever you are from when the amnesty expires.
