My last stamp was in London. it was smooth and without any problem. The Admin processing thing is very unpredictable. Hopefully you have a long enough UK VISA. From what I know if you're in admin processing, anywhere from a few days to 4, maybe 5 weeks, on average.

In Ukraine it’s 3 to 5 business days and they did it in 2 business days (went Thursday, got it Monday). I know it’s irrelevant to London but you can check their website what it says and stay for those days (e.g 5 days would stay for 7 just in case) unless you think there might be 221g form.

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!

Hello Fishes,

Recently accepted this role as Product Manager(Payments) at VISA for the Bengaluru location with the offer around 31LPA. However, after coming down to Bengaluru, I am seeing the Product Manager salary shopping game way bigger than I could imagine.

I have 14 years of experience where most of it under cards&Payments domain and am a CSM. I could have switched location and company a lot earlier but it's okay.

Need suggestions - Shall I start looking for options for better salary?
