I guess you still haven't learned. Hey Joe nice to see that you still haven't learned ANYTHING of what ANYONE has been attempting to point out to you about your nettiquette. You could have easily emparted the same information in a much more civilized way. Eg. "I'm sorry, but this...

"The mistake you are making is to infer from your own experience to the general case. And all I'm saying is that you can't do that. End of story." Where in my response did I say I was inferring from my personal experience? It's simple. If I were buying a car I would ask people I know what...

"So what??? This happens all the time. Learn some economics. Sure, the economy is bad, but good people alwyas get jobs. And, BTW, there is a very specific definition of what constitues a recession: two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. We only had that one time in early 2002...

Everyone I know, including my self has paid in the 5K range for the green card. This included both good and border-line lawyers. Sounds like a good range to me that was being offered. "Originally posted by gb111 Most of your replies seem to be highly condescending and borderline abusive. "...

Have to go to IIO NOT upstairs at SF INS I tried to go upstairs where you get the original stamp and after wasting a lot of time was directed back downstairs. Make sure you get there early. I would say by 8 am. As they only let a certain number of people in. I got there at 9:30 am, stood...

1099 vs Inc. You don't have to incorporate to get a 1099. You can get paid individually via a 1099. Most companies do not like to do this though since it can open them up to liabilities (Eg. if you don't pay taxes, don't have liability insurance etc.). In fact in computer consulting 1099...

Should be quick Last time I applied for a passport in Canada was about 6 years ago. At that time if you could show a plane ticket when applying then they would issue the new passport by the next day. This was in Toronto. I have no idea whether this is still true. You may want to call and...

Call IIO periodically. I had a big delay even receiving my FP notice and then afterwards my case just sat in limbo. I called once a week for two months until I got a sympathetic IIO to look into my case. Upon investigating she agreed that something was odd and a week later she called me back...

Thanks Thanks I\'ll try there.

Hopefully someone can help me who has had their passport restamped at the San Francisco INS office. I need to get my passport restamped as I haven\'t received my actual GC yet. Should I be going to the 2nd floor where the initial stamping was done or the first floor where all general...

Didn\'t cause me problems I did have specific problems with my case that required me to repeatedly call the INS until I got an officer to take an interest in my case. Over a two month period I called atleast once a week (sometimes twice). It never caused me any problems and I\'d still be...
