In my category there is an angry divide between India and the Rest Of World sub-categories. Accusations of corruption, manipulation and intense political activism. When my category (EB3, requires degree) got a huge backlog it went into retrogression and Indians ported to EB2 (Masters plus 10 years experience) in their thousands. Now EB2 is backlogged while EB3 has continued to move steadily forward. You have to ask yourself where all these Masters degrees and years of experience came from. I think on company transfers you can apply for 'Premium Processing' (if it still exists), which is very quick but costs many thousands of pounds.

I've been in the visa queue for 6 years. I'm a Nurse so I'm skilled employment based (EB3). British Expats is good for feedback. Ron Gotcher's forum is also good; comprehensive and easy to read although not as active: http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/forum.php Then there's law firms like Schushtermans - http://shusterman.com/ and Murthys - http://www.murthy.com/ Both have a strong internet presence. All the best with it. You will need dogged determination, patience and money.

The Doctors are not as well paid as they are here, plus it is a part privatised system. If you earn over a certain limit then you pay 30%, which you insure against. Also, allegedly, if you call an emergency ambulance a Doctor answers the phone and decides if you need an ambulance or not.

Good point. Just watched the clip again, you just get a long range shot of the trees outside the perimeter (no movement) then 2 clips from someone hiding and watching. Could be Merle, could be the Samurai? Looks like we may find out next ep.

I had assumed that. Didn't the blonde (forgot her name) say that she got left behind at the farm 8 months ago? It's the same time of year at the prison and the town (summer) and they left the farm in the autumn. Plus the baby has just been born. I think it's the same time or I've missed something massive. Why do you ask, have you got an alternative theory?

Apparently the French have the best healthcare system in the world.

Started it last night. Awesome.

Then compliment you on your listening.

Middle age is when you need to sit down to put your socks on, old age is when you need to sit down to put your pants on.

It leads to a tourist sightseeing spot. The road is in a national park. Are you saying they drove up that road on porpoise?

Volunteering at your local hospital/hospice is also a great way to help if you have the time. Volunteers are invaluable especially in the current climate, plus it can be a very rewarding experience.

All the best irreverentad

Just completed season 5 of Californication, brilliant. On Ep2 of Justified, pretty good so far.

The 'Ungod Particle'?

Genius. A fine piece of work.

Anyone heard from irreverentad?

They may be having a brief pause having turned to admire the view, we've all done it.

'Into Thin Air' by Jon Krakauer is a good read.

And I was having such a good day.
