Re: TB Skin Test

Yes this happened to me - I just got an x-ray later that day and it delayed the medical results by 3 days. The doctor says happens to a lot of Europeans who have been vaccinated.

Re: Your opinion please.

You might look at the Cayman Islands, some positions are available to non islanders, most require a degree and qualifications. I lived there happily for several years.

Re: Once L1A visa is cancelled, how long can I stay in US?

You can apply for a B-2 (not switch), may take a few months to be approved/denied and the cost is around $370. Don't see the point if you have 60 days grace period anyway.

This year we paid $1200 a month for a silver plan. Next year same plan - $1800.

Re: Seeking work

Temp agencies, hotels, restaurants, shops. I don't think there is a best place, just lots of places. The Friday papers always used to have lots of positions vacant. Have you got your resume ready?
