And as I said before, I do know how to exit vim.įirst of all, you will need a decent terminal. And given the similarities (in the terminal) between Mac and Linux, I chose the former.
It will likely take more time to be approved - if it gets approved (although in most cases, it does).ĭone already with the background story… let's get to the business! Setting up a MacBook for Java and Azure DevelopmentĪt Microsoft I was given two options: either I’d get a Mac, or a Windows laptop. Pretty fast in this case, but if you want you can apply without a "sponsor". My wife on the other hand received a Work Permit that allows her to work pretty much for any company and almost any area, but that thanks to the relationship with me. Just one minor detail: Canada also issues a Work Permit bond to the company you are going to work for, if that is the case during the visa application. So, in my conversations with the Microsoft Immigration team, we found that the best solution would be to move to Canada, where I'd be close to Redmond - and in the same timezone. Given my short stay in the US, neither processes completed in time.
This visa has a restriction: you are bond to that company until you get either a permantent resident card (green card), or you change status to an H1 type visa. When I was transferred from Oracle Brazil to Oracle USA, I was given what is called the Intracompany Transferee Visa, aka L-1B type.
