Re: Can I get an EB2 Visa?

If my husband's experience is anything to go by, then I say just go for it. What have you got to lose? If you look exciting enough on paper, they'll do everything they can to get hold of you. And...

Re: O3 Visa Question

Thanks so much again for all your help here. I hadn’t thought that there would be a distinction between ‘being employed’ and having income - really interesting. I was also convinced (without a hint...
