Surely he could have gotten an O Visa by now if he applied previously?
zaatar · 7 years ago
Yes, probably, however, an O Visa requires the recipient to be working in the USA upon receipt, it's not meant for tourism for business or pleasure (including tech conferences).

Yes, not available at P.O. Boxes afaict too. I wish it were, until I read Krebs' article!
zaatar · 7 years ago
This is incorrect; you can indeed get Informed Delivery for [at least some] P O Boxes, postal employees don't know how to do it, but if you change the address on your Credit Card to be the P O Box, and then try authenticating using that card, it passes fine. That's what I did for my own P O Box, for example (it failed the first time when my card was using my street address).

Thank in advance! How easy is it for a French Citizen holding a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine - 5 year degree) to secure a H1B? Are there any other work visa classes they would qualify for?

I'm French and I'm curious as to how you moved and got a job in SD ? Thanks

SD is "South Dakota" as abbreviated in US-English. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota

At first glance, his is too naive a conclusion. This isn't simply language-specific, it is further locale-specific in addition to simply the language, here's why:

Ahorita in Spanish (USA) means something else from Spanish (Nicaragua) for example. If a Greyhound bus driver were to use that word to indicate the bus is departing "Ahorita", I would assume that to mean the next 10-15 minutes whereas in Nicaragua, I would have no idea if it means 10 minutes, 30 minutes or even 60 minutes, so my follow-up question would be, "Do you mean 15 minutes or less?" To me, this is more a cultural thing, not a linguistic thing since in fact the language in use is the same, i.e. Spanish. As another example, "later" (EN-US) is not the same as in EN-IN.

Or maybe I'm missing the point of the research entirely ...

The first bait-and-switch apartment listed "Entire home/apt" with 4.5 stars rating is here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14489610

1 or 2 of my very nice people will be in the office upstairs to help with any questions during daytime. (the bathroom is shared on Mo, Wed, Fri during daytime)

How is this even legal?
