So my boss wants to know everything about the school that I am going to. I haven't decided on anything, but she keeps asking and she says that she needs to tell immigration these things. Any ideas on that? I don't like the idea of her knowing where I'm going.

Cheers

I called Immigration about this coz I was simply curious myself.
This is what the supervisor there told me.
Your boss needs to give you a release letter.
This release letter needs two school names on it.
Your current school and your future school.
Apparently, if both schools are not named on the letter, it is not legal.
This happened to me when I left my last job to work in this one. They actually asked for a letter of intent to employ with the company stamp on it.

Its none of her business.

it would be between you and immigration.Once you get your lor from her she's out of the picture.

Jeez......you picked a right one with her...^^

[rothkowitz]

Hmm....ok,I guess I stand corrected...though it comes down to the immi.official you talk to.

So here's my question...what if you don't have another job before you're released? See what I mean?

[Yu_Bum_suk]

Are you quitting? If so, I'd be highly, highly suspicious. Tell her you're taking a month off between jobs and need a release letter. She does not need to know who your future employer will be.

[genaureliano]

No she's sacked me. but i'm still suspicious.

[Aussiekimchi]

If you have been sacked, maybe your relationship with the boss isn't all sunshine and moonbeams, you could just tell her that you have not found a job and the release letter could just state that she allows you to seek different employment from a certain date.
This kinda makes the advise I earlier got from Immigration pointless I guess.
If you want a sample release letter you can PM me. I will email it back to you.
