kkimm Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Like the expedited employment visas! Great idea, I'd gladly pay to speed things up!You guys are dreamin'...Will never happen.....I mean, for all visas.....Does not make sense though. I agree. Yes, employment petition can be rushed through for a measly 1500 bucks...I gave up trying to understand INS/BICS/State..Like all service industry has its own guidelines of different level of service, airlines have first class, coach class, economics, etc. Car rental companies have luxury, full size, compact, and economy, etc. Maybe DOS has its own guidelines of different classifications, only difference is that they don't make it pubilc, and we don't get to choose...

One big difference with corporate America..is..They don't have to make a profit or feel obligated to do so....So income is not a major issue except for the federal budget boys.That's also why we have deficits in gov'ts. Not only U.SUSPS is a bit different... As a quasi-gov't agency, they don't get taxpayer funding.. Only stamp funds ( self-funding organization ) .. That's why the first class one went to 37 cents...

At the least corporate America has to do some cooking (on books) to show they are making some money for shareholders USPS is one, perhaps GZ is another, I've read somewhere that one of the money-making machines of US OutPosts are the ones in China...

As far as overseas posts, yes... money-machine.. Kabul's can get expensive on saturday night since the Talibs left.... Link to comment

Mick Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 From start to finish, I have to say that this particular thread has had more bizarre twists and turns than Owen's visa case. Link to comment

owenkrout Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 My wife confirmed the 9 suitcases for your wife, Eric. Good thing that there weren't very many K visa girls on that plane our it wouldn't have made it off the runway! Link to comment

Good thing that there weren't very many K visa girls on that plane our it wouldn't have made it off the runway! Eric will probably have to rent two vans, just to get the suit cases home. Hopefully he doesn't throw his back out with all the lifting. BTW: Will she acutally land in Wichita or will he pick her up in KC? Link to comment
owenkrout Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hmmm. Good question. KCI, I would assume. Wichita has an airport, but it would probably be just as quick to go ahead and pick her up at KCI. Besides, why wait? Snow and ice in the Kansas City area right now. Don't know it that will effect anything. Link to comment

Do the French know how to drive on ice? Link to comment
owenkrout Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 My wife says that she thinks Eric was having her fly to Washinton and then to transfer flights to Wichita. Quite a trip. Link to comment

Quite a trip.Washington State or DC???? If she is flying to DC that means she will fly all the way across America, then halfway back????? That Eric! HHHMMMMMM! Must have been some bargain super-economy deal he came up with. Link to comment
