Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:24 pm Post subject: Visa Transfer |
|
|
I finish my contract at the end of May and I am going home for vacation. I plan on coming back to work a camp and then start at a new school in September.
Q: Can I transfer my visa to a new employer that starts 2-3 months later should I choose to accept a job and get it done before going home?
Q: Can I transfer my visa to an employer running a camp so it is valid when I come back from vacation?
Thanks in advance |

If you'll be back in 2 or 3 months you could switch to a D10 before leaving.
Not sure if you can switch from a D10 to a camp visa (which usually isn't E2). Or even what you could do AFTER the camp. |

| If I go back home and have my documents organized, can I come back on a camp visa (I think C4) and then switch to an E2 in September when I find employment? Could I submit the same documents and do a visa run if needed? |

| and does anyone know how early I can apply to switch from the E2 to a D10. I am going home for vacation the day after I finish working and assume I would need to have that ARC in my hands before I leave. |

NOT enough time to get a new ARC.
You will have problems.

Can't you pay to have it to delivered? I did that in country, if you pay the cost and provide the envelopes, maybe they can send it back home. |

How do you know they will want to see it? If you lost it, they might charge you a fine at the airport. In this case you would have an application for the new ARC. Couldn't you show that?
I am not saying it is common and that it is a for sure thing, but they can't hold you at the airport for giving the ARC to immigration. At worst, you pay a small fine and then you are back to where you are now. Small gamble if it means the alternative is to get all new documents. |
