Almost UK to Denmark. The removal van comes tomorrow, my flight to Copenhagen is booked for Monday morning. I have a short term let organised.
if it's not too personal, what's your plans for Denmark? :)
Got my first job in the USA fresh out of college, based on a recommendation from my high school programming friend that got his job here first. He got to finals of ACM programming competition in USA, and got hired almost on the spot.
Finally got my GC after 8 years of H1B & 3 more years of I-485. I think I'm quite lucky to be able to keep having jobs & maintained my H1B status during ups & downs of US economy.

Wow one is definitely out of your hands. Can you expand on the martial law circumstances? Does something like that always automatically lead to resident status?
The circumstances were that most of Poland had joined an independent trade union, which is awkward for a Communist country that is theoretically run by the working class. You can wikipedia 'martial law in poland' and get all the context.
Gaborone, Botswana -> Johannesburg, South Africa. The year is 2001. I'm fresh out of varsity with a computer science degree and I'm stuck doing copywriting work for an ad agency because there is no semblance of an IT industry in Botswana (still isn't) I answer a software developer ad in a popular South African newspaper (for some odd reason we used to get them in Botswana too) but slyly leave out my current residenti…
Did you end up staying in South Africa or go somewhere else?
