Arm and Leg, and H-1B Cap Numbers

Dear Friends,

From around the world, people come to the United States to learn American English. And yet, even those born and raised here sometimes need to learn new language – especially our fun colloquial terms. Sitting at Easter dinner the other day my wife was telling a story about an extremely expensive dinner she had, explaining that it had cost “An arm and a leg.” My five years old niece, who had never heard this expression before, asked her very seriously, “Why did you have to pay with pieces of your body?”.
H-1B Numbers
The United States Immigration and Citizenship Service, as of April 20, had received approximately 44,000 H-1B petitions that count toward the cap of 65,000 and continues to accept more applications daily. In addition USCIS has received approximately 20,000 petitions for the 20,000 slots reserved for applicants with advanced degrees but they are still accepting those applications as well because not all petitions received are accepted.
Today we have a huge number of positions available for J Interns in Ohio at another wonderful water park.
