Long day, short post

Had a long day today, was pretty busy. Got an update on my visa application and not so sure that it's encouraging. Apparently when they removed french from the job requirements and put it back through the INEM database about 700 people came up nationwide (compared to just 4 the last time). It seems that when they put an offer into the database they only have so many categories they can select, so a job that requires a technical consultant with enterprise application integration experience who has developed with Java and Websphere extensively and speaks fluent English gets entered in as "Consultant with English." Of course that's going to bring up a bunch of results. We'll see what the Delegación del Gobierno has to say. I have to imagine that it won't prevent me from getting the visa in the end, but maybe it will extend the process while the company explains why the other consultants who came up in the search aren't actually qualified for this particular position. We'll see.

I hope they get it resolved soon, I need to get my visa. On the other hand, from what I've been told, the process is even more difficult in the US. Apparently there you have to hire a lawyer to get through it.
