Well, according to my phone, which I assume to be reliable, I received a call from India on August 18th at 10:36pm CST. The interview with Woodstock School in Mussoorie, India, lasted 45 minutes and 7 seconds. Within 3 hours I received an email telling me I was at the top candidate. I sent my references and they offered me the job.
VISA:
India's consulate has outsourced the visa application processing. Here was my plan to win the visa game:
Sunday 10/10
10:30pm - Hop on a Megabus headed for Chicago.
Monday 10/11
7:00am - arrive in Chicago
9:00am - Apply for visa
10:00-4:30pm Bum around Chicago and wait for a visa
10:30pm - Hop on a Megabus headed home.
Unfortunately, everything didn't go completely as planned. Monday I was told I needed more paperwork from Woodstock. After completing the application and turning in all necessary paperwork on Tuesday, I was told it would take 1-2 weeks to process the application. I was disappointed as their website says there is 1 day processing.
Big thanks to my wonderful high school friends, Mike K. and Jon P. Not only did I have a place to sleep, I also had a great time considering the visa madness.
For all my beloved family and relatives who supported me, some of your financial gifts helped me pay for the $193.00 visa. I'm told I get reimbursed for it, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
