Moving jobs, I got these somewhat strange "requirements" from the company that will be handling visa application for me (outsourced to by the future employer - both companies are large internationsl):
1. They want me to bring my passport for application submission, promising to return it next day. When I applied two years ago, I did so from abroad.
2. They asked me for my current employer's reference letter. I haven't even resigned yet and won't do for another couple of weeks.
Is it normal nowadays or are they being overly paranoid?
