Hi,

I plan to do an internship in the USA (I'm French) with a visa J-1. I have a sponsor to get that visa.I need to find an employer now.

I'd like to know if It is legal to go to the USA and go to job interviews with "Visa Waiver Program".

I went to the US embassy website and they say:
"The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables citizens of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa."

So, as I understand it, it is legal as they allow people to travel for business with this program...
What do you think?

Thank you in advance.

On 2/23/07 the USDOT made the annocument that 100 Mexcian trucking co.'s and 100 american trucking co.'s would begin a pilot program to let them haul freight into and out of each others countries. Know we do have program like this set up already which falls under the free trade zone. The free trade zone is 20 to 25 miles over each others border which is the limit of which each others trucks can travel into and and out of each others countries. This is going to make bad sitiuition even worse with the quality of Mexcian truck drivers being in this country and not knowing the habit s of american drivers. Not being able to read american traffic signs. This must be the most insane pilot progran I have ever heard of. Your comments on this???

There is nothing in return that the internship would offer and the position is not open on the job market; are there any regulations restricting such internships?
Thank you!

I have currently applied for this fiance Visa, And It was approved in the USA. They then sent him a Packet and asked for the Medical Exam and the Police records. So he just recieved the Police Records and he has the Medical Exam tomorrow. Now he will be sending in the 4 forms, DS-230, DS-156, DS-156K, and DS 157. Im assuming that when he sends those in they will then contact him for an interview? Im not exactly sure how this will work. Will someone please give me any information on how much long this might take.. Its already been 8 months since i first applied and it just seems like its taking forever! I appreciate any feed back! Thanks!

Why is the term 'immigrants' used for all by many in the US, including the press.
There is a difference between legal and illegal. Those in the US illegally are not immigrants in my book, they are illegals. Too many times the term 'immigrant/s' is used too loosely which implies all immigrants even those here legally.

Put All Those Americans the criminals who hire people who enter illegally in jails. After all these poor people wouldn't croos the border if they would know they can't find jobs here in the U.S should you actually want to stop Mexicans and OTMs (other than Mexicans) from coming to the United States, here is how to do it: Find an illegal worker at a large corporation. This is not difficult -- brooms and mops are big tip-offs. Then put the CEO of that corporation in prison for two or more years for violating the law against hiring illegal workers.

Got it? You can also imprison the corporate official who actually hired the illegal and, just to make sure, put some Betty Sue Billups -- housewife, preferably one with blonde hair in a flip -- in the joint for a two-year stretch for hiring a Mexican gardener. Thus Americans are reminded that the law says it is illegal to hire illegal workers and that anyone who hires one is responsible for verifying whether or not his or her papers are in

USA....AND.... the illegals were caught working in Mexico with false documents and illegally.
The illegals were using health services and education in public schools
The illegals were coming in masses across the Mexican and USA border, illegal Americans.
If these illegal Americans were living and working and marching in the street of Mexico with the US flag and the Mexican Flag up side down and shouting racist themes toward the Mexicans and demanding rights just like any other Mexican citizen.
Could you pro illegals and Mexicans, La Raza, ACLU, Mr Ted. Kennedy and gang in the US Congress, tell me what will happen.

It took me 5 years of "filling-out-forms" within a 30 and 60 day time limit, and going to three different doctors,which I paid "out-of-pocket" to prove that I`m carrying 33# of foreign object inside my body and am 100% disabled. So, is it true that OUR government is going to allow "illegal aliens" to have rights-to-social-security-benefits without proper,legal documentation just because some in D.C.[who have family ties and will benefit] are pressing for the unlawful invaders to be allowed "privileges" in the U.S. that wouldn`t be allowed by their country of orgin. There is NO foreign country that would allow an American citizen to go into their country illegally and "demand" rights to their benefits that ONLY the legal citizens of that country deserved. So, WHY is this country even considering such a disgraceful action?? Have those "in power" lost ALL sense of decency and lawful behaviour??

MEXICO CITY - As drug wars raged along other parts of the U.S.-Mexican border, things had remained mostly quiet in the Sonoran town of Agua Prieta.

Not anymore.

On Monday, assassins gunned down Police Chief Ramón Tacho Verdugo, spraying more than 40 bullets at him in an ambush outside police headquarters in this town near Douglas. The motive is murky, but it almost certainly involved control of the smuggling routes into Arizona, Mexican and U.S. officials said Tuesday. advertisement




"Rival organizations are vying for control of these lucrative corridors," said Ramona Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "(Tacho's murder) is a reminder of how violent these criminal organizations are, and they will continue to use whatever means they need."

Tacho's death followed a number of drug-related killings in Agua Prieta and the Dec. 9 arrest of Carlos "Calichi" Molinares from nearby Naco on drug-smuggling charges in Tucson.

State and city police were on high alert and patrolling Agua Prieta for fear of further violence, said José Larrinaga, a spokesman for the Sonora attorney general. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano was "very concerned" about the attack and asked federal and state law enforcement officials to meet with border sheriffs to exchange information about border violence, said Dennis Burke, her chief of staff.

With Tacho's death, Agua Prieta joins a growing list of Mexican cities where hit men have gunned down police chiefs. At least 12 have died in the past year, including top lawmen in the border cities of Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo.

The killings have many police thinking twice about taking the top post. The Sonoran town of Naco, for example, has had 12 police chiefs in the past three years. The last one to resign was Tacho's brother, Roberto Tacho Verdugo.


An Old-West lawman


With his cowboy hats and Western shirts, big belt buckles and wide mustache, Ramón Tacho looked the part of the Wild West sheriff. He had a talent for music and had even recorded an album of traditional Mexican music and corridos, romantic cowboy-style ballads. That style helped make him one of Agua Prieta's most high-profile officials, said Ray Borane, mayor of Douglas, which lies just across the border.

Tacho was head of Sonora's state detective force before becoming police chief in Naco, then in Cananea. He took over Agua Prieta's police force in September. Borane said Tacho was a good lawman and had made some important arrests.

But his flamboyant manner also fed rumors of ties to drug traffickers.

"Because of things people said about him - his way of dressing, acting and the way they executed him - it was said he was 'compromised,' " said Luis Arvayo, a reporter for El Imparcial newspaper who covers crime in Agua Prieta.


The attack


On Monday, Tacho was walking to his car with a group of aides at about 5 p.m. when a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Jeep Liberty roared up to police headquarters. Gunmen inside opened fire with AR-15 assault rifles, firing more than 40 bullets at the police chief, said Larrinaga of the Sonora Attorney General's Office.

Tacho was hit in the chest, stomach and leg. Another bullet grazed a paramedic at the nearby Red Cross headquarters.

Police returned fire, and the two vehicles sped off. The Grand Cherokee was found abandoned a few streets away. Tacho underwent emergency surgery at Agua Prieta's Latino Hospital but died about 90 minutes after the attack, Larrinaga said.


Drug wars come home


It was the most brazen assassination in Agua Prieta since gunmen killed the regional commander of the Federal Preventive Police in July 2003. The Arizona border had been mostly quiet since then, even as pitched battles raged between drug lords in Nuevo Laredo, Tijuana and other border points.

Police commanders are frequent targets in those places. In June, gunmen killed Nuevo Laredo's police chief less than seven hours after he took the job. In November, an assistant police chief in Tijuana was found shot and dismembered near police headquarters.

The Arizona border is controlled by the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. That cartel has struck an alliance with the neighboring Juarez cartel, leading to relative peace along Arizona's southeastern border.

But on Jan. 19, Tacho's officers arrested a Sinaloa man on charges of carrying out the execution-style slaying of two men in an Agua Prieta backyard on Jan. 3. And on Thursday, two drug-smuggling suspects were found dead, their faces slashed with a knife or razor.

Larrinaga said it was still too early to tell if Tacho's death was part of a broader drug war in the area. He said that murders statewide have declined in the past year.

"We can't consider this a red flag yet," Larrinaga said.

I am from India and currently working on a H1B visa since Oct 2005. I am planning to get married in May 28th of this year. My spouse is working as a software engineer in India. I would like to get H1 for her in this year's quota so that she can start working later this year. So I am planning to file for her H1 in April this year. At the same time I want to bring her over here in dependent visa (H4) once after the marriage is over which may be in mid June. My question is, would there be any problem to get a dependent (H4) visa after marriage since her H1 processing is already in progress?
