they're bringing in to fill in for striking employees at our visa application centres abroad can compensate for the loss of these highly trained, high-performing professionals," said Tim Edwards, president of PAFSO. "They have no idea what they're doing." :p :p NEITHER DID THE UNION EMPLOYEES AND HE CALLS THEN PROFESSIONALS,,,,THEY SCREWED EVERYTHING UP FROM WRONG EMAILS, LOSING DOCUMENTS,,,SENDING VISAS TO THE WRONG PEOPLE,,, :eek: :eek: AND DID I READ THESE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY EARNING 6 DIGITS,,,,PLUS EXTRA BENEFITS,,,,FIRE THEM ALL AND DEPORT THEM TO AFGHANISTAN

Hey that's awesome! Thanks for sharing with us. I noticed that it's typical of approvals during interview to go in-process after.. cool!
