Is there anyone who can help me with my immigration problems? Im here in the USA as a tourist. Then there is a employer who is willing to hire me for his company. Im a mechanical engineer and his company is more on a civil engineering company. They do civils works, surveys and draws topography maps. He is willing to train me to do civil works and drawings and he is willing to sponsor me after six months or it depends upon my performance. I was allowed to stay here for six months in the port of entry or until Oct 2005. My question is, is it possible for a company to sponsor a mechanical engineer, even its firm is more on civil engineering works? If its possible, what am I expecting for my working visa? How long will I stay here in US to be able to be legalized. What else do i need to ask from him? Can I get my family back in there in the Philippines? Can I go home in the Phillipines to get my family? Thus the INS approved this kind of case?

your prospective employer has two options. it may sponsor you for a non-immigrant H1B (working) or an EB3 immigrant visa. it doesn't really matter if it is a civil engineering company and you're a mechanical engineer. what is important is that they got a need for a mechanical engineer, the US job market cannot fill it up, they have the means to pay for your wages, that you professionally qualify and that you're not otherwise disqualified (like being a national security risk).

 

in the case of an H1B, the employer needs to apply for a labor attestation with the Labor Department stating therein among others that he is capable and willing to pay you the same salary as the prevailing rate at the locality where he operates before he files the petition. if approved, you will be entitled to remain here in the US and work. you can also travel outside the US. although your family members will likewise be entitled to a H4 (dependents) visa, they cannot work unless they themselves get succesfully petitioned for a working or becomes eligible for an immigrant visa. some college school fees can be more expensive to non-residents. processing may take 1-3 years on the average.

 

insofar as EB3 is concerned, the employer needs to get a labor certification from the Labor Department showing the job qualification, and that the existing labor market cannot fill up the position. this is how they prioritize citizens and residents. this process can take about a year. then a visa petition may be filed. if the petition is approved, you and your family will each be granted immigrant visas which will allow all of you to remain, travel (for not more than 6 months) outside of the US, work and go through college without the extra tuition fees. the petition part can take between 2-5 years on the average. with the current retrogression (this means that the allocated number of visas has been used up) of EB3 visas in the Philippines, it may take even longer.

 

overall, the H1B visa is faster but less secured and less beneficial compared to an EB3.

my aunt sued some business partner for bouncing checks. Her lawyer however told her that her case might be dismissed because she did not send a demand letter to the business partner. My aunt is puzzled since the case is already in court and it has been pending there sometime. Is demand letter really important. How can she remedy her situation. Can she fire her lawyer? MTC lawyers pls help

OMG! This question had me laughing out loud!

 

In the first place, "hacking" (based on the popular term) ANY account is bad!

 

The golden rule (do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you) should apply anywhere, especially on the net.

 

This would be fun. Could you post what is your reason/s for wanting to hack into a yahoo account?

darn, just install into a keylogger prgram into the pc who's user you'd like to hack into. damn, i shouldn't be even saying this, but you must be one of those wanting to hack into ragna/mu/gunbound accounts and steal items...?

[Guest Leviticus]

Sige na nga...

 

But this is more of a general tip than an answer to the other guy's request for hacking tips in yahoo.

 

When using yahoo messenger in any computer, always make sure that the "Remember my ID and password" and "Automatically sign in" is ALWAYS unchecked. Marami na akong naupuan na computers in internet cafes na kapag click ko ang yahoo messenger bukas na agad pati mail.

 

Also goes when using friendster. ALWAYS click "Log out" instead of clicking the close tab. Next na gagamit ng computer mo when he/she accesses friendster ang lilitaw ay ang page mo.

 

Hey.. also goes for Manilatonight too :mtc:

I think that in the Bouncing Checks Law, what is important is that notice of dishonor of the check be given, not necessarily a demand letter.

 

Yes, a client can replace his/her lawyer anytime

it does not matter when a new quota comes. it is served on a first-filed basis. yes, it is best to file it ASAP

Hello.

 

I have a friend who is in the States now. She and her husband are separated. She wants to bring her kid to the States with her but the husband does not want that to happen. The kid's visa is already approved. Oo nga pala.. their kid is already 7 years old. Bale namiss ng ina ang 7th b-day. I understand that there is a law or something that says the kid can choose who is to be the guardian?

 

is there a way for the mother to bring her kid to the US without the consent of the father?

[junnp]

here's one trick i know, but i wont go into details... sorry guys...

 

the best place to do that is from the following:

 

1. look for any hotspots.. wifi...

2. internet cafe's

3. any network using shared internet

4. proxy's, routers with managers...

 

a. you must have the ability to record internet traffic from within the network

b. you must have the tool to analyze traffic and packets

c. you need at least 5MB or more traffic data or enough (could be less) data to verify target and well.. your intentions...

Thanks, One more thing, thus the INS checks the status (annual income) of the company whether it can sponsor a foreigner? The employer said that he can only file my petition after six months, after i served my probationary status, am i filing it late? or the employer is just using my services and it wont petition me? do we i need to have a signed contract for my employment? sorry if i sound a paranoid but i just want to make sure and I dont want to waste my time and become a victim here in the US. They said that here there are so many manlolokos taking advantage to newcomers. Hope you can help me with this one again, Thanks TeeUp.

Shhh...

 

Baka masearch nila sa internet kung paano yan unfortunately, marami resources.

 

Maybe we should all together just keep quiet about this. Generally kasi the urge to gain access into another's account is for malicious purposes
