View Full Version : C1/D Visa
FL470 7th April 2008, 19:09 Hope someone can shed some light on this:
My employer is mentioned on my C1/D Visa for the USA. Recently I changed employers. My question now: Do I need to apply for another C1/D visa, because of the change in employers? Or can I still fly to the US with the old employer mentioned on the VISA?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Changed my employer and had a perfectly good VISA. Hotline wasnīt sure (a romanian student working in a Dublin-based callcenter) but 80 USD later (they charge by the minute I was told its void. Got a new one and asked Hotline and in the embassy at Frankfurt: what if Iīm a freelancer? Apparently youīll need a new one every time you "change" employers. On a side note: my Co was issued a C1/D and a business visa valid ten years and I got the C1/D for 5 years. Same date, slightly different time at the embassy with totally indentical paperwork. I just love them US guys. All by the book and from then on by the nose.
US Aircrew donīt need Visa here. I just wonder when my Government will do something about it. I figure they wonīt...

I guess I let my company decide. The only downside for me is to wait for two hours in the embassy without them doing any work :ugh:!
Cheers!
richatom 9th April 2008, 18:40 As his dudeness says, if you ring they will charge you a fortune for the pleasure. If you need to apply for a visa it is even worse - you send in the fee (93), then you get an email inviting you to interview at the embassy in your local capital city (which may be a days travel away) in approximately three days time. If you have prior commitments, you can't change the date, you forfeit your fee, and then you have to re-apply!
Ryan Air definitely have a trick or two to learn yet in comparison to the US State Department.
411A 10th April 2008, 03:41 Just so a few don't feel put out by the inefficiency of a US consulate, I needed additional passport pages from the US consulate in AMM, so went around, only to find a line that stretched out the door...filled with locals, wanting US visas.
So, did it by mail, and had the passport back in four days.
No fee, either.
His dudeness 10th April 2008, 15:07 @<hidden>: you-> US-Citizen, me: German.
You get service, I get a bill, (actually 3 of them), waiting time, unflexible and definetely not nice treatment at the embassy and "Less visa" than my fellow coworker with the same application. AND: I canīt sent anything, THEY want me to drive 250km to their place.
Notice the difference ?
Ahhh, not in the coalition of the willing, am I ?
richatom 10th April 2008, 15:35 Yep, same with me, except I live 650km away from Paris. A few years ago, when I needed to do the same, I did go all the way to Paris on their appointed day, then stood in line for about three hours for an "interview", where they asked me all the same questions that I had answered on the application form. They then sent me a letter saying I couldn't have a visa, but no reason given.
This time, when they asked me for "interview", I decided not to bother, because I guessed they were just going to waste my time and money again. So I've booked to do my FAA CPL/IR conversion in Europe instead.
