Will you accept an overseas assignment or not?

Question

From Philippines. I was offered to take a 3-month Toronto assignment but with a cash bond or a one-year service contract with my current employer. But I also have a pending application with an audit firm in New York, which I think I will be able to take in 2007 since I was one of those who were cut-off of the H1B Visa limit in 2006. By the way, the audit firm in NY will shoulder only US$5,000 out of a possible US$8,000. Would you take the overseas assignment?

Answer 1

H1B I think opens by October but they can get/process applicatons as early as April 2007.

Listen to your gut feel, for me, my reasons to work abraod outweighs my reason for staying.

Determine your priorities, if you're single , sick and tired of traffic and sort of hate your boss then that would be an easy decision :-)
You have to know which path will make your future more stable and it would be wise to choose that.

New York is a diverse city just like the state of California so its easy to blend in.


Goodluck!

Answer 2

I would go for the oversea assignment since by the time you finish with Toronto I am sure it will be time for you to take up the new york offer. If you go in november by january 30 you will be free to take up the offer. Beside hte oversea assignment will look good on your cv and you are not so sure if you will make the cut this time. Remember a bird in the hand is worthy two in a bush.

The tourist passport is for use while no longer traveling on orders, for vacationing different places as a tourist. ETA: particular a EFMP/medical dental screening is now required for ALL Dependents and command sponsorship could be issued in the orders with their names on it to qualify for the PPO flow and the charge of the tickets to that u . s .. it is likewise required to get the settee stamp. it won't have been formerly notwithstanding it quite is now for all branches. We in simple terms moved returned to the U. S. from distant places and went by it.
