Private schools are usually church schools you need to check them individually as they can vary dramatically.
My daughter went to 2 private schools here...neither of them were church schools. In fact of all the ones we looked at only one was a church school.

Expedition looks like much better value.
Go online and look at the new car sales websites, choose the car and exact spec you want. Print the price list of the cheapest. Search the dealers in Fla to source the vehicle. Go to the nearest dealer with the price list...tell him that's the car you want...that's what you can get it for on line...give him the location of the car you've sourced and tell him the deal's his if he can match the price. Done it successfully 3 times now.

Y'all in the deep south mant people around here actually carry business cards for the church they attend. Where we are there are no other options,Miami might have more choice because it's a city.

Oh God !! this is going to be hard work ...

L-1 is a visa ...

Global multinational corporations are constantly transferring their staff from abroad to their U.S. workplaces. Congress created the L1 visa to facilitate this transfer of personnel. Applicants must satisfy the following qualifications.

Applicants must have been employed for at least one year within the past three years prior to the submission of the application of the L1 visa. The applicant must be coming to the U.S. to continue providing services for this same employer. Finally, the alien must be working in a capacity as a manager, executive or in a position that requires specialized knowledge.

Typically, the approved L1 is granted for a period of three years. Thereafter, extensions are usually given in two-year increments. The total period of stay permitted for managers and executives is seven years.

A major advantage to the L-1 visa is that certain applicants qualifying for this visa may also qualify for faster green card processing. L-1 foreign nationals who are managers and executives are eligible for the “priority workers” category. Foreign nationals falling into this category may apply for permanent residency without having to undergo the time consuming labor certification process

Hubby was transferred through his partnership...L1A applied March through beginning of May. I think we had to wait 12 months before applying for GC....that came through in a matter of months.

just did a quick check up - yes OH would be on the L1 and us on the L2. he's in the manager/executive category for the L1 so it should be no problem.

he flies out to Miami next week to see everything
