> ah, another thing. lol A workpermit must be issued within 15 days of receiving a Non-B.

not true. the non-B usually comes with a 3-month validity. you need to have a work permit before that. I got my non-B at the end of May last year and my work permit in August, 5 days before the expiry of the visa. employers usually take care of doing all the paperwork and applying for the work permit. you just need to go and sign the very first time, after that, just sign a power of attorney every time the work permit needs extending.

Forgot to mention one thing. You are allowed to submit a form for getting a workpermit before getting/extending a B. By the way, we usually do it the way i mentioned since how long ya allowed to work depends on the period mentioning in your visa.

The first Non-B coems with a 3 month validity. The next will be no longer than 1 year depending on what written on your contract. Ya gotta send them tm47 every 90 day, though.
