Expat Work Permit Application Time

I am a British expatriate working and residing in Bermuda. I have lived here since 1989 (I only came fro one year), been married twice and have four kids, two here and two in England.

So, every three years I have to apply for the right to continue to live and work in Bermuda. If my applicaiton is denied I have to pack up my bags and go home (where is home now)??? almost immiediately. Needless to say, this time, every three years is a stressful period in my lifc. If a Bermudian applies for my job and is qulaified they are entitled to it (fair enough). Nobody has applied for my job so now it will be down to the Immigration Department to decide if I can stay. I would like to live here for three more years ---- so --we shall see.

You can see from my passport picture that I look great :)) (just kidding). The cool thing these days is that you can use your digital camera and Adobe or somesuch software to produce your own photos. No more trips into towm to sit in the photo machines.

So - in about 6-8 weeks I will know where my immediate future lies - come back and see what happened.
