Unhappy Re: NROTC as a dual UK/US citizen

The timing of all this just stinks. We have received his British passport and plan on giving it to him next week on his 17th birthday. Then, in just a few short months he will have to renounce his...

Re: Reality check for GC renewal processing times

Getting citizenship is well overdue (been in the US 30 odd years). If I filed the N-400 now, I would still need my GC to travel before that was processed, correct? My unexpected trip back this year...

Re: Qualifications to work in education-are they different?

I worked in a daycare without formal early childhood education, although I do have a degree in another field which did help. Also, you could apply for a Paraeducator role in the public school system,...

Re: What medicine I need to bring to US for my children ?

I had "Express Scripts" but chose not to claim for my medication because it was so cheap at Costco. I'm not sure if this is an option for you, but if so, it gives you more freedom to purchase your...

Re: Nigella is 'banned' from entering the United States

Re: Nigella is 'banned' from entering the United States

I have no idea who this "Nigella" person is. When I read the thread title I thought it was some kind of knock off of "Nutella" and it was banned in the USA! But hey ho, that's just me ;)
