US Universities and H-1B Applications
Posted by admin on April 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
People from around the world come to study at the great institutions of higher learning in the United States and this week, my son – soon to be a college student – and I visited Harvard, Columbia, Tufts, New York University and many many more. International experience, such as work opportunities in China, campuses in France and study abroad for over 50% of all students, was emphasized by all of the schools. You know the world is interrelated when, at Columbia University on Broadway in New York City, an admissions officer, born in Mexico, shares the responsibility for selecting students from applicants representing all 50 of the United States and over 70 countries. Is the world getting smaller? Or are the opportunities getting bigger?
H-1B Applications
As of April 9, the USCIS had received approximately 42,000 H-1B petitions for the 65,000 slots available. They are still accepting applications.
This week we have Work and Travel opportunities for students.

Puzzles and J Visas
Posted by admin on October 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
Being outside of your home country on an international trip is, for most people, an exciting adventure. But it is also a bit stressful. In international environments there are new things to see and smell and hear and understand. We often don’t really completely comprehend what is going on. It is kind of like being inside a big puzzle with lots of pieces missing. Trying to put it all together is fun and frustrating at the same time. Sometimes things just don’t seem to fit.
Visas and Legal Information J visas.
One advantage for employers of the J visas, both the J Training and the J Work and Travel, is that there is no need to pay Social Security nor FICA and FUTA for the J participant. This can add up to a considerable savings.
This week we have new housekeeping positions in one of the most beautiful areas of the country in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
