...thanks for your PM - well done again. This site is brilliant - I asked so many asinine questions in the lead up to my PEO appointment and the experts and applicants alike here dealt with them promptly and genially.

I've been on two consecutive LLR visas (one 1.5 years, the next 5 years, expiring this summer). I've been paid salary through LEA payroll, with the usual deduct...
