Spain? or "Let us go, though we know that it is a hopeless endeavour."
I was offered a job teaching English in the Basque region of Spain!
So.
I went to career services to learn whom to contact to get a work visa. Career services sent me to Student Support Services.
Student Support Services told me to contact the Spanish Embassy in London.
The Spanish Embassy in London told me to contact the UK's Scotland office.
The Scotland office told me to contact the Spanish consulate in Chicago because my student visa expires in less than three months.
The Spanish consulate in Chicago told me I would have to apply in person, which I can't afford to do.
I tried the Spanish consulate in Toronto, who also told me I would have to apply in person. I explained my predicament and they suggested I try the Spanish Embassy in London.
So.
I called the British consulate in Chicago to see if I could get my student visa extended so that I could apply through a Spanish embassy in the UK. The consulate charged me $12 for calling, then told me I had to call the UK immigration office.
All of this took so long that the UK immigration office was closed, and I get to try this madness again tomorrow.
Oh, joy.
