Is THAT what he's up to? I always wondered about the drawn curtains, but figured he was a hoarder.

Where is the OP?

We all know that Texas is the best state to live in. Houston, in particular.

In my experience, yes they are. We are moving to Sugar Land. Lots of Indians live there. City data shows a higher percentage of Asians than where we are now.

It's authentic.

Wife works down there now, which is why me and the kids are leaving Dallas.

They don't like Indian food so I have been to several places by myself. Quite often, I have been the only white person in there.

My theory is if the Indians eat there, it must be good.

When asked where would be a good place to live in the US I normally recommend Woodside ...

If this is to hard, maybe consider a HB-1 visa (temporary work visa). It may not be perfect, but you might get sponsored later on once your in America.
Okay... I'll bite. What's the difference between getting sponsored for an H-1B visa (which is necessary to get an H-1B visa), and getting sponsored later on?


If all else fails, maybe try an E-2 visa. It does mean you have to buy a business, but if it succeeds, it could be very benificial.
Manc is right... your post is mind boggling!

Absolutely! In fact, the chefs in one of ours go one better that - they're from Birmingham

It's authentic.

Are they Navajos, Apaches, Lakota or Lac de Flambeau Tribes?
