Friend of a friend has recently found himself in a terrible situation. I'm not one to gossip but I wouldn't want to see this happen to anyone else.

So last year his school could no longer afford him. He found a job the next day at a public school. They transfered his visa over to the new place of employment. He asked if his visa was good for another year or if it would expire midway into his new contract.

He was assured by his recruiter that it was good for a new year.

Well, it wasn't. He discovered this on a trip out of the country. They allowed him to enter the country as long as he promised to deal with his visa issues. As he was going through the process of getting a new visa (loads more paperwork this time around) immigration decided to do a "routine" check on some public schools.

He was busted without a visa and issued deportation papers today.

So, word of caution, make sure you extend your visa at the appropriate time if you have changed your visa from one place of employment to another. And, don't trust recruiters (we already knew that).

For all of those that will now call the friend a moron for not looking into this, you aren't the first to think or say the same so you aren't being original (troll somewhere else thank you very much).
