Hair and Second J Interviews
Posted by admin on May 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
Culture affects everything – even our hair. While women everywhere tend to take better care of their hair, men’s hair varies. Our young French intern has hair that moves north, south, east and west – all at once. Ismail from Turkey has a nice wave on the left of his forehead that must have required some work. Yui from Japan must also have worked on his head – I can’t see how anyone could get hair so perfectly messy by accident. The local California guys keep it simple: short or wild – unless they are getting dressed up and then they get it to stick-up in defiance of gravity. It makes me appreciate my basic hairstyle: bald.
Second Interviews for J Applicants
There are times when J visa applicants are turned down when they apply for their visa at the US Consulate or Embassy in their home country. We and the visa sponsor have screened all of our applicants before they received their DS-2019, the document needed to apply for the J visa, and we believe all of our applicants who go to their visa interview are qualified to receive the visa. That is why, when our applicants are turned down, we almost always encourage them to do a second interview before giving up. Our applicants have a high passing rate on second interviews.
We have a deadline coming up for people interested in our summer and one-year positions at the wonderful Mid-West water parks.

May Holidays and H-1B Cap
Posted by admin on May 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
Here in the United States we don’t generally think of early May for holidays but on the other side of the Pacific, Japan is just now finishing “Golden Week” with its three major holidays and its millions of travelers. On the other side of the Atlantic in France, May 8 is “Victory Day,” celebrating the end of World War II. And in France, Japan, the US and hundreds of other places around the world we all sit down this coming Sunday to honor one of the most important individuals – if not the most important individual – in our country: our mom. Happy Mother’s day to all of the Moms around the world.
H-1B Cap Count
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continue to accept applications for the H-1B, which allows international professionals in a specialty occupation, to work in the US. As of May 4, USCIS has received 45,000 applications toward the cap of 65,000. For more information see:

This week, for just a while longer, we will be accepting new applications for our wonderful Midwest water-parks.
