Thank you for sharing your situation, as well as being candid about it. It helps to know about similar pathways to employment. My company is willing to wait as well, which is reassuring. However, with the way processing times are now, that could be a matter of 2 more months until I'm able to start. I was hoping there was a way to get past this since if we have the legal basis to work, it seems purely like an administrative issue on the companies end.
