Re: Family moving to New York

You're not hired based on the email. it is what it is. That's the professional advice I've mostly been given. I had an interview a couple of months ago and the recruiter (an external one) reminded me...

Re: What did you sacrifice in your endeavor to obtain a green card?

Re: Changing status from B2 to L2 - In or out of US??

The change of status is not really for the current stay. It most likely would be dated for however long your L1 status is. it's just that you need a valid visa to enter the country and she would not...

Re: Manhattan advice

OP, it mostly depends on your budget.


I do want to say that there are many good private preschools/kindergartens in NJ that are definitely not $30K a year, my goodness.
