Well now, whoever gets that position with Jelsoft will really be stepping up and going places :yes:

You also have to be able legally work in UK, which Americans can not.

They can get a work Visa, yes?

That's a slippery slope too, Peggy.

The job has to be made available to qualified applicants from the UK. If none suitable are found, the opening is then made available to qualified applicants from the EU. If none suitable are found, then the opening is made available to migrant applicants. And the employer obtains the work permit for the migrant, after proving all the proper hoops have been jumped through.

I learned all this when it appeared I was moving to Scotland.

And what is really confusing is that people in other nations say U.S. immigration laws are the toughest.

gooood grief! :eek:

Sorry Mike, that isn't entirely correct, any citizen of any of the core members of the EU can work in the UK without restriction, the only limitations are on the very latest EU member states, as a deluge was expected on their entrance to the community.

A French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, etc, etc, citizen can come to the UK and start working immediately, no hoops to jump though.:)

Ps. Didn't know that Jelsoft was at Pangbourne, it is only a couple of miles from me, shame I don't speak PHP. :) I would imagine there will be quite a lot of local candidates, as Oracle has a campus based in nearby Reading/Bracknel and they have a huge staff with MySQL knowledge.

I didn't make myself completely clear. Sorry. You are correct, an EU citizen is not considered a migrant, whereas a citizen of the U.S. would be.

And whilst an EU resident would not have to jump through any hoops, a US resident would have to jump through several. I was engaged to a young lady in Scotland and have explored all the Home Office ins and outs. :banghead:

Thanks for clearing that up guys :)
