Some Forum Posts:

United States: Where to live in NYCO:

What specifically do you like about West Hamp and I can give you some thoughts about NYC or some of the close suburbs that you might like, too.

United States: Westchester teens, no dramas!:

Where in Manhattan will your husband's office be? There are excellent options in both NY and in New Jersey, too.

France: Affording France:

$150,000 = 137255.85 Euros Cost of apartments is considerably less in Paris... almost 25% so that is where you should see some savings. Consumer prices are higher in paris including restaurants. I agree that it's probably light on the compensation and they are probably trying to leverage the appeal of living in Paris to encourage you to take less money. What other items are included in the package they are offering?

United States: Work in Florida:

If you can tell us more about yourself it will be easier for us to give you advice. What have you done in higher ed, where are you coming from and what is your citizenship?

United States: Live Animal Transport:

Can you provide more details? What type of animal do you need to transport, and is it from Maryland to another country, etc.

United States: Green Card Lottery:

It's not a guarantee, but you're well on your way. You need to demonstrate that you can support yourself, that you are from an eligible country, among other requirements. Contact an immigration lawyer quickly because he or she will be aware of the most current laws/regulations, and the U.S. approves more than will be actually granted in the end. Don't drag your feet!

United States: Returning to USA after 1 1/2 Yrs:

I think that depends on what your thoughts were when you left... and what state are you returning to?

United States: I want to migrate to the USA:

Carleneb - Tell me a little more about yourself and I'll be able to recommend some states to you. Insurance is probably a tough shot at getting a visa. Do you work for a large insurer? What country are you from?

United States: considering moving to USA:

Do research on Australian companies with operations in the U.S. If you can get a job with them, you might be able to get a expat post in the United States at some point. You can still try to get a job directly in the U.S. with other companies while you wait. It's a two pronged approach! I used to work for a GE company, and when doing yearly paperwork, they would ask if you were willing to consider expatriate positions.

United States: renewing US driver license:

I think it's always a great idea to have the international permit, whether you need it or not. Having it often will get you on your way a lot quicker if you are pulled over for any reason.
