Re: Major Green Card changes proposed.

Not sure about that. Seems ripe for denying people who work for organizations that are already in the firing line, e.g., Harvard University.

Re: Major Green Card changes proposed.

Wow. Talk about the most effective way to hurt people who are doing/will keep doing the right thing, and incentivize overstayers to keep doing the wrong thing.

Re: Moving Back to US - Would you do it now?

This is why I think OP needs to look into specifics wherever it is they are looking to live. See about PCPs and whatever specialist(s) they need. It could be totally fine, but definitely seems worth...

Re: Moving Back to US - Would you do it now?

These questions are legitimate, but seem unlikely to help you make decisions. Here are some others you might consider:

Can your OH actually get the healthcare he thinks he can? Post-covid, there...

Re: $100,000 Fee on HB-1?

Thanks for clarifying. Since posting, the impact this will have on health care sunk in for me too. It is BAD: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-h1-b-visa-fees-rural-health-care-hospitals/

Re: $100,000 Fee on HB-1?

Errr, what? My salary when I was on an H-1B was $55K per year. The H-1B is the standard visa for ongoing academic positions. My salary was pretty close to the bottom of the heap, but a normal...

Re: $100K fee for H-1Bs likely

I wonder if this will apply to cap-exempt H-1Bs? If so, this is going to be a huge blow to US universities, which rely on this category for academic staff and most certainly do not have $100K to blow...

Re: Travel to UK, dual passport holder. What about the ETA?

Yes, lots of us have been doing this for years going back and forth to other countries with ETA requirements for USCs. It is a non-issue.



Ah, so you are really just worried about it slowing...

This is just an airline issue. It is perfectly fine, but she may not be able to check in online. The check-in staff will ask for proof she can enter her destination(s) and she can show both...

Re: E2 expired

No, that's exactly what happens. The status lets you stay, but you need a current visa to be let back in. The only exception is the one mentioned for short stays in Canada/Mexico, which I suspect is...

Re: Calling from US to UK

+1

Ultra was one of the first prepaid options to offer proper international calls/texts. They still have my business.

Re: Citizens - Register to Vote

Thank you! In principle, I would be okay to leave it, but I have never been happy receiving numerous campaign texts/calls at election time. I will enjoy it even less when I don't live there anymore!...

Re: Citizens - Register to Vote

I'm coming up on my first interstate move as a citizen. I can easily find how to register to vote in my new state, but nothing about how to "deregister" in NY. Any ideas?

Re: Health Insurance PPO vs HMO

This!! I remember two occasions where the PCP referral added a month to getting specialist treatment. And we're not talking very "specialist": a podiatrist and dermatologist.

Re: Health Insurance PPO vs HMO

I would advise you take the standard option for your first year (at least). There will be a LOT for you to learn about US health insurance, and I wouldn't bother trying to save money on plans until...

This is a good alternative. We already know that whatever number the OP says, someone is going to say "I wouldn't eat breakfast for less than $400K"...

Any chance the reason you are looking is because you are dating someone there? If so, just get married.

Re: No bank account without address // Cannot rent without a bank account

For what it's worth, I have never encountered a rental that requires a bank account. They just require money! This could be in the form of cash or a cheque, or these days Zelle.

Re: Wise.com - New verification Process

Another data point: I just put through a transfer and wasn't asked for any additional verification. I am in the US. This was logged in through a browser rather than the app.

Re: London to Chicago relocating 1 year

Very nicely said. I never fitted in in Chicago and could never adequately describe it to people. "It really is an American city" was somehow not illuminating.

Totally irrelevant for the OP,...
