Birth

I know someone who had dual citizenship from India and UK and chose to use UK in their application due to the obvious wait times for India. Got it within a year.

Serious implications from a FB post? I was commenting on what I heard and thank BCG for the clarification. Don't go by message boards would be my advise to you.

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer.

The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️
