H1 – finally

Posted on January 23, 2007 - Filed Under Personal

It took over a year, a lot of efforts, but finally, today I have visited US consulate and I’ve got my visa approved :))

Well the world is small… Company, which sponsor my visa is located in Hoffman Estates, IL. Small Chicago suburbs. Imagine my surprise when consul looking at my papers said: “Hoffman Estates? I have worked there!” :))
