I highly doubt it. Japan is one of the few countries in the world that does not use GSM, Unfortunately, the only CDMA carriers here in the USA, Verizon and Sprint, will NOT activate your phone. They have a list of acceptable phones, and if you dont have one of their models, purchased from the respective stores or dealers or vendors of their companies, you will not be able to use your phone on their networks. Of course, you can always hack a solution, but I don't recommend this route. BTW...most asian countries except Japan (though Japan does have I believe one GSM carrier) all use the GSM standards on the 900/1800/1900mhz frequencies, meaning that virtually any phone operating on at least the 1900mhz frequency will work in the USA. It just has to be unlocked, and luckily, most phone purchased overseas are unlocked because they are typically bought at full price and not that $39.99 sale price w/ two year contract (rediculous for a $150 phone), like they do in the USA.

Tell him to apply for a Student Visa, if he doesn't have one already. If he already has one, tell him to apply for a B1 Visa.
2 :
He cannot legally work in the US. It would appear that he cannot even legally be in the US. If he is not legally present, then it is crucial that he leave the US before he turns 18! If his parents brought him here illegally, then if he goes home before he turns 18, his parents' illegal acts will not be held against him. In time he could apply for a student visa, or if he wants to work in the US, after he gets a college degree & experience, he could qualify for an employment visa if he found a job with an employer willing and able to apply for the employment visa for him. If he is on a dependent visa under a parent who is here temporarily for employment or something, he cannot get authorization to work. Minor children on dependent visas cannot get permission. But if he were here on a dependent visa, he should have SSN or tax ID for his parents to file their tax returns, although his Social Security card would be stamped "not valid for employment." If he is here illegally, do NOT do anything to help him as you would be violating the law and subject to a long prison term and $250,000 fine. Tell him to go home in a hurry if he ever wants any chance to return to the US legally.

Yes, but your choices are limited. You could like in St. Catharines or Niagara Falls, Ontario, and work in Buffalo. You could live in Windsor, Ontario and work in/near Detroit. There are hundreds or thousands of people who do this. Living in Canada obviously requires becomming a resident or citizen. In the 1990's there was a speedpass to allow cross-border commuters (students/workers) to cross the border faster -- that may be gone now. The 5th Protocol to the Canada-U.S. tax convention has some benefits for people in the situation you're planning. Good luck. Unless you live in the northern U.S., I'd recommend visting the towns I mentioned above in winter to be sure you can handle it. It can be cold. The hot period is short (late June to September) and November and April can be very cold also. St. Catharines and Windsor are not considered the nicest cities in Canada. they're fine, but if you like small towns, try Niagara on the Lake, or some of the small towns like Leamington near Windsor. Good luck.

You can't reside in Canada on a permanent basis unless you are a Canadian citizen or you have been given immigration permission to live in Canada - either permanently by being issued an immigrant visa, or temporarily by being granted permission to work or attend school in Canada. This applies even if you plan on crossing the border back into the US, each day, in order to work. If Canada notices that you are returning there each evening, they will know that you are residing there without permission.

Varun, I have answered your question earlier but I forgot to mention something. Most Canadian universities offer a programme called Co operative (Co-op) which allows you to work for a number of semesters during your programme in order to enrich your academic experience with sound professional knowlege. An additional benefit of this is that you earn good income during your work terms which helps a long way in taking care of your expenses. However this option extends your graduation period a little.

There's no such visa. There's a work visa for college educated professionals with 2 years experience. This visa is booked full through 2009. There's a student visa that offers very, very limited ability to earn a few dollars spending money. To get this visa she must prove she has the ability to support herself and pay for her education in the United States without needing to work. A 3 month tourist visa will not allow her to work and it will not allow her to attend school. A REAL marriage would allow her the opportunity to immigrate to the United States if found eligible by the US Consulate in Russia. A fake marriage would get her deported and the guy convicted of visa fraud.

Other things like Canada Pension and your health care may be impacted as well.

live in United States work for England company

live in United States work for England company?
So, there's this company in England, it's a real company,not fake, it's legitimate, and this guy saw my resume over the web and he wants to hire me, off the books, but his company is in England, and I live in New York, USA. He said he's going to have a delegate come by and meet me after my 2 week probation period but that's about the only contact I'll have with him, other than my home office through the phone and through the net. It's weird, because I'm not use to this, but at the same time, I'm curious, and because the pay is $47000 a year, I can't say no. It must be cheaper to pay me in American currency than pay someone in England the same amount in pounds. But the position seems easy enough, and to my liking...admin assistant, which I can def do.

it probably would be cheaper to pay you, they're only spending about 23500 pounds on you. But I'd be worried about the tax situation, in the US, and maybe even in the UK. I'd consult a tax professional first to see if this is on the up and up. Sounds like a pretty nice deal though, if you don't mind cabin fever.
2 :
Outsourcing to the US. How great is that? You should move to England and make him pay you in pounds, then live here. You would effectively double your salary due to currency exchange rates and cheaper cost of living in the US. Take advantage of the depreciated US currency and take the job. Make sure that this is legit and you are not paid "under the table". You could be in for serious fraud charges if you do not make sure you are paying required taxes.
3 :
How are you going to be an Administrative Assistant to a guy in England while living in the USA?? Why does he want to hire you "off the books"? He could simply simply list you as "contract labor" instead of an employee. Maybe I'm just an old cynic but this seems a little fishy to me. Be careful.

You need to apply for an H1B visa but unless you are a college graduate in one of a handful of specialty occupations your chances of getting one are just about zero.
2 :
You cannot apply for work visa in the US. Generally you will need an employer who sponsors you for a work visa. They can only do this if they can show that they can't find US citizens willing or able to do the job. You could see if a branch of your company in the US would be willing to employ you as I assume you could get a recommendation. But it will depend on your job qualifications and experience. If you have a degree it is definitely much easier and it also helps if you have proven yourself to be excellent at your job.
3 :
none, if an american can so your job you can't get a visa. And you don't apply the employer does
4 :
That's right - you do not have sufficient education and experience and a high enough position in your company to qualify for a transfer to one of their offices/operations in another country. In your field, you do not qualify for an H1-b visa, either. That's only for those in high-tech fields, with at least a bachelors degree and a minimum of 2 years experience. Nothing in the travel/tourism field qualifies. Furthermore, the US has laid off tens of thousands of people in travel/tourism, and there is no need for any foreign workers in the industry. Over 31 million Americans are currently looking for jobs. The real unemployment rate is 22.6%. It is very difficult for any company to justify the high costs in time, money and hassles to obtain an employment visa. Americans are readily available, and cheaper. Only employers can obtain employment visas, and you do not qualify for any sort of employment visa. You cannot work in the US.
5 :
An L visa would be good if you was management ... but no visa available for lower classes Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©
6 :
No easy way. Your employer will have to sponsor you if you want to work in the US.
7 :
There is no way you can get a visa to work in the United States. There are only two options for you: 1. Enter the green card (diversity visa) lottery next year (October 2011). If you win the lottery you can then quit your job and get another job in the United States legally. A green card (legal permanent resident) allows you to work and live in the United States. 2. Marry a US citizen and relocate to the United States. Your spouse (US citizen) will petition for you to get a green card.

The 1950s was a time when many Americans were terrified of communism (because of Russia and China). They were afraid that these countries would send spies to infiltrate the government. People suspected of being communists were arrested frequently. The Rosenburgs were even executed because it was believed that they were communist spies. Joseph McCarthy took advantage of these fears. He knew that if someone was accused of being a communist, their life was basically over because everyone would suspect them of espionage or treason. So every time he disapproved of someone, he would call them a communist. Many politicians and entertainers had their careers destroyed because McCarthy accused them of communism.
2 :
Your teacher wants you to say that paranoia about communists allowed mccarthy to recklessly accuse housewives of being communists. You should say that. It isnt true. Joe Mccarthy was worried that a large amount of soviet spies were working for the US government. He was one of the only people who thought this was the case. He was right. Declassified soviet documents show that many top officials in the government and the millitary were soviet spies. It would be as if colin powell, paul wolfowitz, treasury secretary paulson and several others were all working for the communists. President Harry Trumans official policy was to employ soviet spies so that the soviets would like us better. It drove McCarthy nuts. He enjoyed 80% approval ratings during most of his career. At his death, he still had most people in the country behind him. He did not assuse anyone of being a spy. He only said that members of the communist party should not be working in sensitive positions, such as in code rooms for the army. He pointed out that the president purposely employed known soviet spies. McCarthy was the countrys youngest federal judge. He completed grades K-12 in three years. He was a respected legal scholar and an influential senator. Liberal media has distorted this great american patriot into a raving godzilla who accused everyone of being a communists, but it is a provable lie. The hollywood writers were not accused by Mc Carthy, they were accused by republicans in the house. McCarthy was in the senate, not the house. The hollywood writers were guilty. They were being paid by the russians to make pro-soviet movies. This has been proven by declassified trans-pacific telegraphs. There were probably thousands of soviet spies in the U.S. government. The Verona declassified documents have confirmed 300, and most of them are still secret. We have only cracked the code of a tiny percentage of them, and the russians arent talking. The rosenbergs were proven guilty beyond all doubt of giving the atom bomb to the soviets. Spy Alger Hiss was convicted during this period of being a soviet agent working as an aid to the president. The UN was his idea. The UN gives the soviet union as much power as the US, even though everyone knows they are huge A-holes. Coincidence? The number 2 man in the CIA was a soviet agent. Stalin knew about the atom bomb before our president did. This was not just a "climate of fear," but a serious problem. The soviets were giving money and arms to the North Koreans while we were at war with them. They knew all of our military secrets and grew stronger because of them. Their agents purposely made decisions that would harm america. Soviet spies were active in journalism. The popular I.F. Stone was celebrated by liberals and won many awards in journalism until he was found to be a soviet spy. Consider that he was not distinguishable from his fellow liberals.

If you think affordable (nothing is free) health care and unemployment bennies that hold someone who is truly looking for a job are "socialism," you might want to look up the definition of the word. We have a Socialist Party in the U.S. but they are not in power, and you don't have to worry about them coming into power. We couold learn a few things from other countries, you know. Over the past decade the United States and Canada faced the same global environment. Both were confronted with the same flood of cheap goods and cheap money from Asia. Economists in both countries cheerfully declared that the era of severe recessions was over. But when things fell apart, the consequences were very different here and there. In the United States, mortgage defaults soared, some major financial institutions collapsed, and others survived only thanks to huge government bailouts. In Canada, none of that happened. What did the Canadians do differently? They put a lot more regulation on banks. Here’s a very interesting article about what they did that we failed to do.

Personnaly i do not think socialism would work in the United States because the government will control how much money you make. They want to bring everyone down to an even level. For example, lets say your an eye surgeon. And Your the best surgeon in the U.S. If you live in a socialist government you'll make the same profit as any other eye surgeon in the U.S. For this reason then there will be no point in striving ahead and making something out of your life. For the people who try and make something out of there life will be punished. The rich people's taxes will go up and the poor people's taxes will go down. Over time, this will bring everyone down to an even level. The money has to come from somewhere. Steel from the rich and pay the poor. Then since everyone's making the same amount of money, people will not be able to pay there employs and millions of people will lose jobs putting us in a worst state then we are now. It's one thing for the government to tax people to pay for a military to keep dem terrorists at bay; it's another thing for the government to tax people to give money to people who aren't working

Cuba it doesn't work, it rewards mediocrity, or down right selfish "loads" type people, it makes no one want to do more, because in the end all that hard work you do and its rewards gets re-route to the ones that perhaps have just been laying around collecting a pay check! it kills competition, the engine of true progress in nature...! so no, you keep your socialism and let me take my chances in this wonderful brutal capitalism... I bet you i will be in better shape in the log run that you ever will!

Aside from the fact socialism doesn't work anyways, it would work terribly in the United States. Socialism requires hard working people who care about the entire group. Based on the amount of people on welfare trying to find anyone to blame but themselves, socialism couldn't even work 1 generation in.

12 :
It hasn't been doing all that well. Socialism is State Capitalism, where the government owns or controls the means of production. It over-rides natural market forces of competition, supply & demand, and personal volition in support of the "common good." It redistributes existing wealth based upon "need" or government whim. As personal incentive fades in a socialist environment, so too does production and ultimately wages and tax revenues. Free-Enterprise Capitalism is quite different. It generates new wealth and distributes it on the basis of merit. It's a rare creature these days because governments find it dangerous to have citizens who can accumulate property and independence.
13 :
This scenario of going "completely socialist" is not likely to occur, but a balance between capitalism and socialism has always worked very well for the United States. We have enumerable socialist systems upon which we citizens rely: unemployment insurance, OSHA (worker safety), VA medical system, our military, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the U.S. Post Office, public schools, police and firefighters, public libraries, highways and roadways, tunnels and bridges, food and pharmaceutical safety (FDA), and so on. An entirely capitalist system, where all social programs or safety nets are done away with and for-profit (privatized) everything is the name of the game, GREED runs rampant through the system, as happens now with the 1300 for-profit insurance companies in the U.S., whose unregulated premiums have risen each year (cumulatively) at 3X the rate of inflation, while services have decreased---all greed-driven. Eventually, this all-capitalism approach implodes, as happened with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and our credit markets, followed by the MELTDOWN of our greed-driven risk-taking financial system. Conversely, an entirely socialist system leads to stagnation and eventual decay (USSR, for example). The two systems play off of each other, which is another reason why President Obama and the Democrats join most Americans in pushing for the public option in health care reform---as a balancing factor for the out-of-control (capitalist all the way) insurance industry that has no checks and balances in place to keep it consumer-serving and consumer-friendly, functioning somewhat like the yin-yang duality of oneness.

Getting the government involved in health care is a huge mistake. They mismanage most things and this will be no exception. Imagine having to call some US agency for clearance to see a doctor. And, they will tell you what doctor to see. Not for me. Not for USA.
5 :
National Health Care is no panacea. What people don't understand is that ALL health care is rationed, either by the state or by the market. Also, nobody wants to tackle the real issue as to why health cost are climbing. Over 50% of your health dollars are spent in the last six months of your life. Want to make health care affordable? Limit extra-ordinary measures. However, no one will get elected on the platform that they will limit chemo to grandma or not give grandpa that bypass.

Massachusetts has universal health care. I think that is a perfect example of how it would work in the US, since it is in the US.
7 :
just look at what other countries have done , the only way for it to work would be to tax the hell out of everyone and maybe give away free newspapers for the long waiting lines
8 :
I see that a lot of people that are against a nationalized health care program in the United States because they don't want to be told which doctor to see... Insurance companies do exactly that. PPOs, HMOs, etc. all regulate which doctors one is allowed to see. The only difference would be that a government agency would be making the decision instead of an insurance carrier.
9 :
There are programs already in place. It begins with the education system. Let's face it, if you want the good paying job, chances are great, you will need a good education. And, not to worry, it's already a "universal" education system. You are required to pay in to it regardless of whether you have kids in school, out of school or no kids at all! The teachers are all licensed and educated, the administration is in place and the books and transportation to get your little ones to and from is in place as well! If I had to guess, I'd say about the only things not provided are good parents and motivation! Health care is not a right, it's a privilege. As a side note, Hillary already tried to give us healthcare at a reduced rate. It's called HMO and under her plan, the decision making process was removed from the treating physician and turned over to your insurance provider. It was a HUGE flop. It cost my father ( a democrat all his life) his life. No continuity of care -- you never saw the same physician twice. And, regardless of their findings and recommendations... It was up to the insurance companies. Thanx, I'll pass. AND, for those who cannot aford to pay cash or have no insurance, the federal law requires that no Emergency Room be allowed to turn anyone away regardless of a lack of means to pay. This would also help to explain why our healthcare costs are as high as they are. You see every flea bitten tramp under the sun in there for B.S.. If you want it, earn it! God knows, I had to.

This argument over health care is crazy. What if a community argued this much over building a municipal water system. The solution is simple, monopolize the healthcare insurance industry. Create a publicly owned company that "sells" health care insurance to all Americans. It would have the same effect as a municipal water system, economy thru numbers.
12 :
Why does everyone think it is the government's job to tell people what to do? Polititians know it is important that everyone has healthcare. Its the people that arent' convinced. I think if anything, the government should start a marketing campaign to educate people on the importance of and the resources available for getting health insurance
13 :
The first thing to do is vote Democratic. The rest will be easy. We need a program that brings together insurance companies, health care providers, and the government allowing all to get the quality medical care but to do so at an affordable price. Premiums and payments would be done through insurance companies who agree to pay for all procedures required but who also agree not to sue doctors for malpractice. Malpractice can be handled by a board made of former medical professioals, retired politicians and former insurance executives and some private citizens for good measure. Any health care provider charged with mal practice will have their case reviewed by this team and the practicioner will be warned, fined or decertified (license taken) depending on the offence and whether they have done something questionable before. People do make mistakes unfortunately in the medical field they can be devistating. Trial lawyers buy big yachts on the fees they collect from such cases. They don't need that. We can also include members of the Pharmaceutical community on the board and as part of the health care provider network whose prices must be affordable. For those who have the means to pay insurance premiums through employment or because of circumstance should be required to do so. For those who are unable to pay full premium should pay at least something they can afford and everyone should pay a copayment when they see the health care provider to help defray expenses for insurance companies. It can be fair to all and affordable. Grandma should not have to decide whether to buy food or medication this month. Great Aunt Tillie shouldn't have to decide whether to buy gas for heat or medication next month. The single mom whose husband died of cancer, which wiped out all their savings, should not have to decide whether or not to feed her kids or take them to the emergency room because one has a fever and they can't afford a regular doctor visit. People should be able to access preventative medicine rather than wait and then have to go to the emergency room. That costs us all more in insurance premiums now. Everything we need we have. We just need to put it all together.

You can push for Tort Reform.

Now, with 911 and the fear mongers, everyone who wants to work must prove they can work. Therefore, there are many who are doing it illegally.

Under INA 101(a)(15)(P), an alien having a residence abroad which he or she has no intention of abandoning may be authorized to come to the United States to perform certain services as an artist, athlete, or entertainer for an employer or sponsor. The O-1 classification was created to provide specifically for the admission of persons with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, and athletics, or extraordinary achievement in motion picture and television production, and their essential support personnel. An alien who is coming to the United States to perform in the motion picture and television industry can be classified as an O-1. There is also the H-2B classification. Occupations in the entertainment industry include performers and all technical and support personnel involved with a performance. Decisions on applications by employers seeking temporary admission of non-immigrant aliens for temporary employment in entertainment occupations require special considerations (too long to list). So, if you were the beneficiary of an approved H-2B, O-1, or P-1 petition, you could work as an actor for a specific employer in the U.S.

The only big city police department that I've found that hires legal permanent residents is the Los Angeles PD. A Canadian citizen who had a green card could be hired by that department, or any other department that hires both legal permenent residents and U.S. citizens.

then if they require american citizenship - then you need to find another category to emigrate under. Wait until you qualify for citizenship - and then he can change jobs. Its like the customs and immigrations here in Canada - you are required to be a Canadian citizen to apply for those jobs. And most other Canadian government jobs as well - for security clearance reasons.

Your work is copyrighted in the US from the moment it is saved to a fixed medium, such as paper or your hard drive.

If you seek publication, don't copyright the work. Publishers (and literary agents) often demand changes, which would mean the revised work would have to be copyrighted again. Copyrighting the work before sending it out announces a lack of professionalism, a lack of trust, and that you have not done your homework in terms of sending the work only to reputable publishers or agents.

If you are a Canadian citizen, but originally born in China, how long can you work in the United States?
I know someone from China who went to school in Canada and became a Canadian that way. They have been living/working in the United States for a few years. Is there a time limit on how long they are able to stay in the United States before they have to apply for a green card?

in order to work in the US, the person has to have a work visa before going to the US, the limit for the person to stay in the US? is 90 days visa free, so? if this person does not have a work visa? which she would have gotten trough immigration? she would be there illegally.

Being a Canadian does not exempt you from their regulations, specially working and living in the US. For your friend to have worked in the US, they would have had to apply for a work permit. You need to have a work permit that could allow you to apply for a green card after 5 years.

Do arranged marriages really work in the United States

Do arranged marriages really work in the United States?
I have a 27 year old friend who has been trying to get married for years. She feels that because she is getting older she should rush into marriage. It seems that all her friends, including myself, are married. She was born in Pakistan but raised in the United States. Her parents are still trying to arrange her marriage, but she either dislikes the guy because he is not "American" enough or the guy that she likes will not propose to her. If she successfully has an arranged marriage, do you think it will last?

Will a video game console from New Zealand work in the United States

Will a video game console from New Zealand work in the United States?
Will a video game console from New Zealand be compatible with North American TV's and such? Of the three (Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3), which if any (or all?) will work in the United States? What about the fact that USA is NTSC and New Zealand is PAL. Does that affect anything?

They should. There might be a difference in power plugs but I would imagine that New Zealand isn't really all that backwards.
2 :
That will depend on the TV you use in the US. There are an increasing number of NTSC / PAL compatible TV's (at least there are in some markets - not sure about the US) but there are two other problems as well though. A different voltage is used, so you'd have to buy an adaptor & DVD players are still region locked which means that you will not be able to play North American region DVD's or Blue Ray discs. The games should be okay though, because they aren't region locked & only the video output is affected by the NTSC / PAL difference. Same problems with all game systems. Hope this helps.

Please help: How do recruiters in the United States work

Please help: How do recruiters in the United States work?
My fiance was contacted by a recruiter a couple of weeks ago and has had 2 interviews with them since then. He is very skilled in his field (IT and sales engineering) and has a lot of experience; the recruiter said they could likely get him into a position making the same if not more money than in his previous job. Here's where I start to feel uneasy - the recruiter wants a $3500 fee from my fiance. Supposedly this fee covers their services as well as a package that contains things like contact information/direct lines to hiring managers, salary negotiations, "targeted position search", resume assistance and interview training (the last 2 my fiance does not need) and things like that (he just called me and was driving - I haven't seen the paperwork so there could be more - we're going to go over it when he's home tonight because those were some of the offhand things he remembered from the interview). I'm not sure how I feel about it. We haven't been given any specifics on companies or positions. From what I've read online, legitimate recruiters work for the companies and therefore receive compensation from them, not the job seeker. I also feel like it's strange that they want this fee from someone who likely is not working. My fiance isn't sure how he feels about it. The idea of having assistance in negotiations and the fact that the recruiter explained that it could mean the difference of about 20k in an annual salary has him wanting it to be legitimate, but there are still concerns. I feel uneasy but I wanted to ask people who may have experience with this sort of thing. Does this sound legitimate to you or like a potential scam? We have a week to give them a decision and he has 2 more interviews scheduled with actual companies (one tomorrow morning and one at the beginning of February). Please give us some insight into the recruitment industry and whether or not these sounds legitimate.

Legit recruiters don't charge the applicant. The fee is paid by the hiring company. In some states what they are offering isn't even legal. The only case where a fee is paid by the job hunter it should be paid after a job is secured and even that is rare these days.
2 :
As the post above points out, recruiter fees are paid by the employer. The fee they pay is based on a % of the successful candidate's annual salary. The applicant NEVER pays a recruiter. I've worked with at least 3 different recruitment agencies over my career and have never been asked to pay a cent from any of them Find another agency

Studying Abroad - 2 Answers

Generally, students in the U.S. apply to universities between September and January of their final year in school, and they need to take the SAT before they apply. I am including the webpage for international admissions for the University of Hawaii at Manoa (the main campus), which will tell you how to apply. Usually, these days, one does this on line. http://www.hawaii.edu/admrec/appfo.html Generally study programs would only allow you to study abroad for a short period of time, not for an entire degree. Since these are usually sponsored by the student's home country, not the host country, I can't tell you of any specific programs for which you might be eligible.
2 :
1) Generally you should start applying at least 10-12 months before you intend to start your studies, because the admission and visa process can take several months. For example, if you wish to apply for Spring (January) 09, you should start applying about no. Be aware however, that many universities have admission deadlines, so be sure to check what they are. You are probably too late to attend university this fall (August). 2) Take the SAT's ASAP, since most university will allow the SAT scores to be valid for 3-5 years. 3) In order to apply you will need these basic things: - Proof that you have graduated high-school. - Proof that you have the funds to pay for tuition and financially support yourself. - SAT scores - TOEFL scores (If English is not your countries primary language). - School transcrips of any higher-eduation which you have completed. 4 & 5) Take a look at the websites for the university(ies) which you are interested in attending and there you will find all of the information which you require regarding how to apply and where to apply as an international student. Once you have applied and been accepted you will be issued with what is known as an I-20 and with this I-20 you must pay the SEVIS fee and then schedule an interview for your F1 (student) visa at the U.S. Embassy in your country of residence. The requirements for admission to the University of Hawaii are below. Click on the campus you are interested in on the left hand side to check for additional requirements for admission to that specific campus. You last question makes little senes, you stated that you want to study psychology, all of the campuses at the University of Hawaii offer this program and Hawaii is a State in the United States - so therefore if you are studying in Hawaii, you are studying in the U.S.

Every school is different. And your SAT's should be completed, or at least scheduled before you apply. A year in advance is a good rule of thumb for getting things in order to apply to any college. Some College deadlines for applicants are in January for the next fall semester - and others are as late as June or July; it depends on the school.The bigger or more prestigious the school, the sooner one needs to get things done. You can apply on-line for a lot of colleges. Go to the web-site for whichever school you have an interest, and look at ALL of the requirements for that particular school. I'd take the SAT"S soon. Don't forget about passports and Student Visas. Good luck, Siggy

how is work in the united states different from philippines

1 :
Same 8 hours daily, 5 days a week in the USA, but in the Philippines some companies require 6-day workweeks, some require half day work on Saturdays, but some companies, especially big multinationals have only 5-day workweeks. Vacation leave credits in the USA are more generous. In the Philippines, a worker gets entitled to VL only after finishing probation, and only gets pro-rata credits thereafter. Big companies add leave credits to employees who have chalked up a 5-year tenure, adding an extra day a week for every year at work. Thus, where I used to work, I had 15 days annual vacation leave after working for 8 years. But if we add all the holidays and the special non-working holidays decreed by the government, we might just be even with our US counterparts !
2 :
The main difference is that in the US you work and in the Philippines you dont.
3 :
Depends on who you work for. Anything over 40 hours is overtime but some manage to avoid that. You have to work steady if not hard. Safety is a big factor. Some give vacation some don't . It isn't the law that you do. The pay is the biggest difference. You are by law paid at least minimum wage but people who work for it will make more. Qualified people start out much higher. There are incentives like commissions to get you to work better and earn more. It's the pay system that keeps the Pinoy from advancing.
4 :
Work is the same anywhere in the world. It takes so much force to move a certain weight from point X to point Y. Wages and benefits vary from place to place, from employer to employer. There might be employers who adjust their work clock 20 minutes in the evening*, and then adjust is to be late 30 minutes in the closing hours. One cannot question that that clock is wrong. If you do get it in your head to rectify the clock, it is in violation of company policy to exploit the labour force as much as possible. * evening - this should be "morning", rather. To enable them to deduct something from wages, for being "late".
5 :
Generally the same. Although hiring & selection is not the same & in the Philippines there are lot of holidays (with pay) & there are mid-year, 13th month bonus pay, which obviously you did not work but get paid for (some even have14th month, 15th month, nth month as well as a Christmas bonus)--which I all miss....

A few people I know have/are done medical school in the Caribbean and they are practicing or doing their residency in the US. But you need remarkable USMLE scores if you're a foreign graduate to even be able to get a residency. Also, alot of states will require a minimum amount of undergrad to be able to be licensed. And lastly, make sure your school is on the approved list for each state. What do you mean by "Bachelor of Medicine" and "Bachelor of Surgery?" Because when you graduate medical school you walk out with an MD, not a bachelors.
2 :
MB BCh are the degrees offered in most countries outside the US to medical students. The UK, Ireland, the Commonwealth and some other countries have MB BCh instead of MD. I think you would be allowed to practise as long as your University is recognised as having the minimum standards for the US. Hope this helps.

No, because we spend much more on poverty aid than they do. They have services for people, not giveaways for the poor. if we tried to have our welfare state and a socialized service economy, we would be looking at 80% tax.

Well I think one reason they work so well over there is because the countries are so small. It would be hard to for us to mimic European nations given our current political structure.

You are going about it wrongly ... he will need a K-1 visa ..as a fiancee Follow the flowcharts here http://familybasedimmigration.com/forum/index.php
3 :
Presently, he does not qualify for a fiance visa because of his age alone. He would theoretically qualify for a tourist visa, but he would have to show he is coming here as a tourist temporarily and intends to return to his home country. He would have to list where he would be staying, tourists usually stay at a hotel or with friends (if they have any). If he says he will be staying with his girlfriend, they may consider him an intending resident, which your boyfriend may or may not be, and will deny him visa if they think he is (means, they think he may get married). He must also not lie about his intentions. Some tourists who come here, fall in love, and get married, and the marriage is, therefore, legitimate then papers can be filed. Once married, the work permit only takes a few weeks to obtain, the green card takes over a year, three years thereafter, he can apply for citizenship, if he still remains married during all this time. He can attend an approved vocational school, if after coming here, he applies for and receives an F-1 or a similar visa which will authorize him to attend school. No work is authorized to students except for about 15 hours per week at the institution where he attends. All other will require additional permission.
