Hi all, this is my fourth story on this website! My last story was about how I attracted an awesome job which was a perfect fit for me.
Well, I worked at that job for one and half years, and was faced with another dilemma – to get the work visa, which would allow me to stay in US after my student visa with work permit expired.
My present company was not ready to sponsor me as there were many changes and layoffs in the company. I tried pursuading my manager, it did not
work as he could not get permission from upper management. I was applying for jobs outside, gave interviews, nothing was working. I had just one and a half months left.
I approached a recruiting company which was ready to sponsor my work visa immediately, but needed a client company which would hire me. I kept the faith and just imagined the end result of receiving the visa, of friends congratulating me, me throwing a big party in a restaurant, getting Godiva chocolates for my manager and my team.
Well, a brilliant solution came up – the recruiting company asked if I could work through them for my present company. My manager and team really wanted me, and I did not really want to switch companies, so that was a great idea! I approached my manager and HR lady with the idea. Both agreed and a new contract would need to be signed. I imagined that everything went well, my HR lady and senior HR’s smiling faces, the recruiting company enthusiastic and super quick about filing my visa. Finally, the joy and satisfaction of receiving my work visa smoothly. I saw the ‘Visa Approved’ written on an official document, in my head millions of times, and felt the tingling joy in my spine.
Everything worked like magic, super smooth – the contract was signed, my visa filed, and I even received the visa soon, which was unusual, with the exact words I had imagined ‘Visa approved’!!! I did get the box of chocolates for my manager who helped me so much, and did give a generous dinner party to my friends! 🙂
This experience proved that we are blessed beyond belief, we just need to imagine intensely what we want. Believe in it no matter what. Feel happy anyway. Then watch how a way will be created just for you, by this loving Universe!
