So, this means a bank that handles EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD isn't afraid of Visa/MasterCard and is willing to process the transactions while the other currencies don't have a willing bank?

Where's interest payments? Based on their omission I assume you're computing these numbers with them split out but it hardly seems fair to say you're spending "900" on defense when the total cost of paying that &quo

That really incentives you to under pay the H1-B though. The fee should scale with the cost of training a US resident to do the job. If the fee is too low than toss the application cause the applicant should just pay for somebody's tra

Afaik, the federal rule doesn't propose banning H1-B entirely. Nor was I proposing that. So, it's more like saying "people speed and break traffic laws, therefore we're going to improve enforcement". Reasonable stat

Do keep in mind. H-1B is for when you cannot find an American to fill a role so somebody comes into the US on a visa to fill that slot. O-1 [1] is a for when somebody non-American has a lot of skill and is allowed to immigrate into the US t

It's not. Buy-vs-rent is nearly always monetarily in favor of rent. 250k down payment is ~20% of 1.3 million which at ~6.5% comes out to you paying ~2.4 million. This doesn't include maintenance, insurance, or taxes. I have a bunc

Which would allow you to work for 2 years and then just do your hobby full time for 28. Also allows you to do your hobby without other pressures placed on it.

Don't know your specifics, but I generally make the argument to people that if they have the aptitude for something very high paying that they do that job and then do something they like as a hobby.
