Re: USA vs UK

I would add that property tax in California is high, we cannot get decent bacon (too fatty) or beans (with brown sugar??), the cost of higher education is very high and motorists can be crazy.

Our 17-year old daughter has applied to several University of California campuses and we are sat here with the dreaded FAFSA form in front of us. We have tried (in vain) to get her a SSN - we were...

Re: Green card and adult child

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I will push my husband to contact a lawyer for advice on the best way forward.

Hi folks
Does anyone know what the situation is if you apply for a Green card when your (adult) child is 19 and he turns 21 before a decision on the Green Card is given. Is he included if the Green...

Re: Two visas on one passport?

Thanks for the prompt reply. So I guess he will have to apply for a J1 now as we've just found out he cannot get an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as child of an L1 holder.
