Advice on how I may SE myself into a situation that will allow for huge personal growth Up until recently, I was in the process of moving to the United Kingdom to work for the inventor of machines known as RepRap (http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap). The company had gone through the process of obtaining a license to sponsor migrant workers and applied for a Sponsorship Certificate to apply for a work visa. Then things fell out from under me last week when the application for the Sponsorship Certificate was denied due to the position not being on a gov approved list (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/workingintheuk/shortageoccupationlistnov11.pdf). This is where I am seeing if any of you could help me out. I'm not really sure where to start, but pretty much what I am trying to do is get in contact with https://www.gov.uk/government/people/michael-gove using the recent announcement of this program by the department for education https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-3d-printers-to-boost-stem-and-design-teaching to see if I can personally get something onto the UKBA occupation shortage list or at least my foot in the door.Basically what I have backing me right now is my resume and a few recommendations from industry professionals. The perfect alternate scenario would be to open an office in London for the former employer(initially offered before I let him know I had something lined up at the UK company, but has since taken the offer back since I was "too flaky" by using valid vacation days for a surprise trip that coincided with a demo, but had already been paid in full for by family friends. Said I look flaky to him since I goofed around on my vacation days and was asking only now because things fell through. Any tips for that situation would be greatly appreciated as well). This would allow me to stay with this fast growing company that I'm working for, collaborate/learn/educate with the UK company, present and instruct in the use of 3D printers,
