Re: Offensive?!?!

In my organisation's annual sexual harrassment training a lawyer comes in and spends the day telling us exactly what does and what does not constitute sexual harrassment.

Re: Question on evidence

Re: Ayup!

Hi, Leeds lass. I lived in Headingly for three years before coming to the US. Originally from Pocklington, near York. The more Northerners on here, the better. Welcome.

I can imagine that if I lived in some sprawling, endless suburbia, or some right-wing Red State shithole, or some godawful city that didn't even exist prior to 1972, then I'd be counting the days to...

Re: Who likes it here?

Re: Renewal EAD...

I didn't mean to imply that a Driver's Licence was proof of one's right to work, just that it satisfies the List B requirement on the I-9 to prove one's identity. A social security card satisfies the...

Re: Renewal EAD...

I really wouldn't trust any expected processing time given by the USCIS. I was told to wait 90 days for a replacement residency card and still didn't have it after a year. I had to keep going back to...

Re: Knowing what you know now, Wouldya have
