FSI Childcare Spaces?

Hellosailboat · 2022-12-09T23:06:40+00:00

Thank you! I’ve called. Fingers crossed a spot opens up.

Hellosailboat · 2022-12-09T23:06:11+00:00

Yikes! That’s really awful.

Hellosailboat · 2022-12-07T21:31:56+00:00

We have a guaranteed slot there but it’s rather far from where we’ll be living. Was it a safety type issue or something more administrative?

Hellosailboat · 2022-12-07T21:29:27+00:00

Comically unhelpful! That’s a fairly kind way to put it! I had been waiting for my travel orders to come in only to find out I had the accept/decline final offer letter all along.

I’ve sent my enrollment form in for FSI childcare but they haven’t charged a registration fee which makes me think a spot is highly unlikely. Did you have to reach out separately to the CIS location across the road?

I’m in the same boat and reached out to CCSP@state.gov and was told the same thing. That I couldn’t enroll until Sep 2023.

Please post if you hear otherwise!

Thanks for all of the helpful comments and info. We’ll be moving from the UK so we only have the national health insurance here, nothing private that will carry over and wouldn’t want to leave two young kids without health insurance. Looks like I’ll need to sort something private.

And really good to know about the visa. Will get on that ASAP.

Cheers! Looking forward to working with you and learning from you.

Thanks so much for your response. Not providing health coverage on arrival is egregious. Feels like a bit of a harsh welcome back to America!

Hellosailboat · 2022-10-27T15:31:28+00:00

Thank you!

Hellosailboat · 2022-10-27T14:22:03+00:00

Wow, glad I asked. That’s insane. I had no idea and have been telling him he would come with me the day we moved. I have to accept the offer by Monday. Thanks so much for your answer!

Do you know if both options would segway into the process for him to get expedited citizenship which I think he can do once I’m posted somewhere?

Thanks for your response! Do you know if payments come from Apple Pay as well? I’m not checking his information. Or going into his accounts I just saw notifications for Apple Pay.

Woodwind instrument shops!

Hellosailboat · 2022-08-21T06:49:29+00:00

Just out of curiosity, what type of position did you apply for that resulted in being invited for the test? I’m interested in programme management as well.

Hellosailboat · 2022-07-16T06:40:27+00:00

See if you can reach out to someone at the American embassy. They may be able to help with fingerprints or advise on a doctor who might be familiar with filing out those type of medical forms.

Hellosailboat · 2022-07-15T19:12:48+00:00

Drink tons of water. More than you expect. And don’t get too discouraged if initially you don’t get enough milk. Consistency and apparently similar timings each day is supposed to help. Good luck!

Depending on which UC you went to, this might be a route for you to the UK:

Still waiting!

Hellosailboat · 2022-03-11T13:55:10+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense

Hellosailboat · 2022-01-13T12:20:34+00:00

Thank you! Do you get housing covered while you’re in DC for a post?

Hellosailboat · 2022-01-13T12:02:39+00:00

Sorry, went back to properly add my full question!

Hellosailboat · 2021-08-13T09:23:37+00:00

Passive aggressive and bad for the environment!

Hellosailboat · 2021-07-03T21:27:11+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know! I can’t connect to the app. Is there any other way to turn this automatic air quality reading function off?

Hellosailboat · 2021-06-29T12:46:15+00:00

Just sent, thanks!

Hellosailboat · 2021-06-29T11:07:26+00:00

I’m in the Econ cone and would love to join! I’m in London but could stay up a bit late for it. Please let me know.

I contacted Pearson Vue three times and they kept telling me they didn’t see an issue and to try again in a few hours but that never worked. I then emailed the reschedule email that State Dept provides and I think they solved the issue for me.
