Check out the UKvisa subreddit! plethora of knowledge there + crowdsourced tracking for visa processing times.

earlier this year when i applied, priority was suspended. not sure if it still is

like

my visa originally had a processing time of 12 weeks, but it was doubled to 24.

unless the UK gov announced the availability of priority, i don’t think that VFS (the org they contract out to for priority processing in the US typically) can/will process things with priority. ymmv though, i didn’t use VFS. did biometrics at a USCIS center and my visa is not through my employer

Are you heading to Deloitte UK? I’m about to start process soon as well

Where are you moving from?

Do Americans need a visiting visa to the UK or this is work visa related?

I am currently an EH&S/AP associate for Walmart Supple Chain. I am a team lead in the department making $31.35 an hour working Fri-Sun from 5:30-17:30 (12hr). I am interviewing for EH&S/AP manager and I am searching for how much the managers are making on here but I can’t find any post about it. If I get an offer for the manager position, how much should I ask for my salary? Please let me know how much you are making as an EHS manager and please include your company as well.

Are there any fundamental differences between a salary negotiation during the start (applying for the job) vs. Salary negotiation during a performance review (you’ve been employed for x time and looking for a raise). I’m in the latter and wondering if there are any maneuvers that are different I should be doing.
