   Thank you for the reminder. I've just added a calendar entry for 6 years time to consider whether or not I am willing to be subject to an exit tax (and give myself two years to plan alternatives if I'm not).

   My E-3 process was always about 2 or 3 weeks (including interview) except for the one time the US Government shutdown while I was trying to get a LCA. The six month process for the labor requirements for a green card was longer in processin

   I was basing it on the priority date for my category (EB-2) when I first considered getting my green card. For Indians in the EB-2 category the priority date is July 2009, so assuming that the demand remains constant it would be roughly 6 y

   I got my green card yesterday. It took me eighteen months, which is a ridiculously short amount of time, if I had been from India instead of Australia it'd be another 6 years or so before anyone even looked at my application. For me a

    You bet on a team to win. The skins are used in place of currency. Instead of betting $5 I be 3 skins and if I win I get my 3 skins back plus 2 more. Since skins can be traded and sold it's effectively gambling for cash.

    I hear this a lot, what is the basis of considering the FISA court merely a rubber stamp? Is it the approval rate? Is it the lack of transparency? If it's the approval rate, in my experience the reason why court warrant approvals are s
