Yes, I sure would ask! I'm always curious about other immigrants, too. :)

I'd say US Airways, but most of those jobs are leaving now, so suppose they will no longer be a major employer in the Phoenix area....

(They like most airlines though, pay cruddy wages compared to what most other companies pay for similar roles.)

Ask, but make sure you're braced not to look shocked/ surprised/ confused if it turns out to be an E-2. :unsure:

Yep i agree now i've looked up the E-2 VISA. Sorry but i'm not to clued up on all the visas, just the ones I've been on.

I was more shocked/ surprised/ confused after i asked her what she thought of it here, she replied "There is no culture is there?" :rofl:

Ah that's what I thought too when i first arrived but after some time I figured out its got pretty much what every other major city has. Because the city is a big sprawl with no main center it gives the impression that there is no culture, but there is, its just all spread out and you have to go and find it.

Arrowhead village (the plaza with AJs fine foods in it), 67th & 101 (NW). One of 2 plazas with shops, bars and restaurants and a ACE hardware store just a handy 5 mins walk from my house.
