As being a non-Aussie, I got this email from Atlas like 2 months ago. As they said they will contact me for additional information regarding my interview, it seemed like a positive email at the beginning. But as time pass, it started to sound like a negative one.
“Thank you for expressing an interest in Atlas Air. We are a global leader in outsourced aviation providing cargo, charter, leasing and passenger operations – we move the world forward, bringing 30 years of expertise to support our customers.
The Company is an equal opportunity employer and considers applications from all qualified candidates. In compliance with federal law, all individuals who accept an offer of employment with the Company will be required to verify their eligibility to work in the United States prior to commencing employment. As part of your application, you indicated that you will need to obtain authorization to allow you to work as a pilot in the United States. This process will need to be completed before you can begin employment as a pilot with Atlas Air.
At this time we are currently experiencing long delays with USCIS (United States Citizen and Immigration Services) in processing Company-sponsored immigrant visa applications and current turnaround time can be up to 24 months. We are doing all we can to expedite this process for candidates.
Thank you again for your interest in joining our extraordinary team! We will be in touch with additional information regarding our interview and application process.”
