This is the USA...... typically a company can lay off anybody, any time ("employment at will"). H

I signed everything: form, photos, certificate and passport with my normal, regular sig. No problems. I was told to sign the certificate with the same sig that's on the photo. H

I think that was a typical time line back then. Plus all the re-scheduling delayed me from 4/10/09 to 5/8/09, an extra month. Without that it would have been Nov 08 to Apr 09 = 5 months. H
