Re: Condo in Chicago area

He was looking at small apartments in Evanston, it's a studio but at least you're not in the hood and more of your payment is tax deductible.

Re: Condo in Chicago area

Now this place, this is more of a deal. Right in the middle of the loop, literally walk to everything, and cheap enough that you can keep it and rent it out once you move out to the burbs.

Re: Condo in Chicago area

Re: US Visa

Re: Nurse Trained Midwife wanting to move to Florida...where do I start??

Since any employment visas have to be initiated by the employer it isn't worth getting your own lawyer yet, any lawyer that tries to tell you they can help you with that for a price is to be avoided.

Pregnant mothers see OB-GYns as a rule rather than midwives. In most states midwives work as independent...
