I just got an email saying that I need to resubmit paperwork for the visa I was granted in January of 2011. Apparently there was some change in October? Now, seriously, I have a hard time understanding how this is my problem. If they changed their policies and I'm already here and haven't left the country or violated any laws... what are they going to do?

I should probably mention that I transferred said visa in May and am at a new school now. But still, what are they going to do? What can they do? I went through all of these tests and submitted all of the paperwork. Actually did two physicals in the past year. So... what are they going to fire me with 6 months left on my new contract because one government office doesn't know how to call another government office and check to see that the paperwork was submitted properly?

How is it my responsibility to pay and wait and sweat to get all of this b.s. paperwork done again... ?

More importantly:

Who sent the email?

In my experience, the government offices couldn't be bothered to email any of us with petty visa concerns.. they'd rather make a big stink and call our places of employment directly.

So I doubt you'd have to worry too much. Find out who sent the email and judge if they are a force to be reckoned with

if it was the dept. of education in your region then you can submit photocopies that you already gave to immi.

Yeah, my school is doing this too. Thankfully, they pay for the medical check. My understanding is you don't need to submit it if you're not re-signing for another year in the next couple months.

I'm guessing you didn't submit your FBI CBC...
