    OSDE Dentist needed

    I need a crown replaced and am looking for a good dentist that accepts OSDE. I called a couple of previously recommended dentists, but they were both private clients only. If you've had any significant work done with an osde dentist (something more than a cleaning), and it turned out well, and...

    Where can I buy a good hair straightener/flat iron?

    Hi, I have 2 straighteners I've been meaning to get around to selling, maybe one of these would work for you. 1. Bought in Argentina for 200 pesos, I think the brand is Vania. Good iron, but not as high temps as I need, so it took longer to straighten (I have very curly hair, so maybe you...

    Cleaning person

    Hmm I didn't realize it would be so expensive! I lived in a larger shared apartment previously and my roommate had arranged with a maid for about $17 per hour on a biweekly basis, which did seem quite low to me, but I've never heard of more than 30. I had in mind closer to 40 pesos per hour for...

    FBI Background Check

    I just received my FBI background check this week, exactly 9 weeks from the date I mailed the request. Very surprising, considering they told me on the phone that it takes 10 weeks to even clear security.

    Confused! Documents for work visa - Foreign birth certificate, criminal history

    Thanks so much for the clear explanation. My parents got a new copy of the birth certificate when we applied for a Visa to visit Russia, it's supposed to be internationally valid (as opposed to the original soviet union one), although I'm not sure where it's considered acceptable. I'll send you...
