Subject: I was worried more than you know that time

romeobanglore: hello

julietscity: hi

julietscity: How about your lunch? Are there any special conversations between meals?

romeobanglore: are you there?

julietscity: yes.

romeobanglore: no special conversations...lunch with fish and beef

julietscity: and Ojas

romeobanglore: hahaha...yes

julietscity: Why every time I mention Ojas ... you always laugh happily

romeobanglore: no! I laughed because I had lunch with fish, beef, and Ojas!

julietscity: That is true

julietscity: I am hungry

julietscity: a little bit

romeobanglore: but I didn't eat Ojas...only fish and beef

romeobanglore: you didn't have lunch?

julietscity: fish and beef ... I didn't eat that much ... no chance to eat them

romeobanglore: you eat fish...but not beef

julietscity: I don't know how to eat or cook the whole fish ... not fish meat

julietscity: I know someone who eats fish heads very well and can separate the whole fish from the bones and eat clean

romeobanglore: hmmm...I also don't know!...but the hotel people know

romeobanglore: I don't eat fish head

julietscity: hahaha...

julietscity: they say the fish head is very nutritious

romeobanglore: chi!

julietscity: last time we didn't have the chance to cook by ourselves

romeobanglore: yes...always outside the only

julietscity: hmm... No food or special food left in memory to remember

romeobanglore: but many other things to remember

julietscity: oh...yea? now you remember! I thought there were only a few things and you didn't remember many things

romeobanglore: what are " a few " things you thought?

julietscity: Oh... We forgot to discuss Reddy's work...

romeobanglore: Reddy is doing a different kind of work

julietscity: when you returned to Bangalore... You didn't tell or remember many things in the email

julietscity: he is also an engineer, right?

romeobanglore: because I was preoccupied with the US problems

julietscity: Ha!...

romeobanglore: you may not believe...but that was the reason

julietscity: I know it feels the same as when you first returned ... we argued the same situation

julietscity: but this time... your reason prevents me from doing something like this

romeobanglore: so...I was worried more than you know that time

julietscity: but when you go back, I showed you how I feel by email

julietscity: Are you worried about the news of the US economic downturn? This is the last thing you need to worry about

romeobanglore: I was more worried because I was supposed to go to the US according to our plans...I felt like I could not do anything

romeobanglore: I am sorry to have worried...but I was

julietscity: It's not good to say anything now

julietscity: from my side

romeobanglore: say anything...it's ok

julietscity: no... I don't want to be your teacher

julietscity: Reddy...he is not in the Telecom business, right?

romeobanglore: I didn't mean that

romeobanglore: No...he is in Database and ERP applications

julietscity: ERP means what?

romeobanglore: but as he is a software field, he will be knowing something about the trends there

julietscity: so... he said you can easily find a job there

julietscity: Today's news... Intel Corps also fired some people

romeobanglore: ERP...it's a kind of industrial application software for accounting and such things

julietscity: like HR department?

romeobanglore: he didn't say it's easy...but you know he does not know much what is happening in Telecom...after the automobile industry most people were laid off in Telecom

julietscity: Human Resources?

romeobanglore: yes...5000 people

romeobanglore: Human Resources...no, he is not in that

romeobanglore: it's a kind of database application

julietscity: why is there no news that American has acquired your company?

romeobanglore: for him, things might be ok...but our German company is planning to lay off 15%

julietscity: oh... 15% of layoffs are high, right?

julietscity: Is your German company badly affected by the downturn?

romeobanglore: That's why our German company sold the telecoms business to the US company

julietscity: oh...yes...you told me your new company name

julietscity: because you didn't bring me your new name card

romeobanglore: we are still in this company...our German bosses are in another company...so my card doesn't change

julietscity: I got information about applying for an H1 visa from a law firm in Los Angeles ... there are no sponsors there either ... maybe on the application form ... there is a blank need for a sponsor name

julietscity: The application for H1 does not apply to me but is made by the boss in the US.

julietscity: and it takes 2-4 months

romeobanglore: so there is no need of a sponsor?

julietscity: Even looking for a sponsor ... it's not harder than finding a boss in the US, right?

romeobanglore: so you need to find a job first, right?

romeobanglore: yes, you are right

julietscity: You know my English, and you know the job requirement last time ... I still don't qualify for this job

romeobanglore: I know...it's ok

romeobanglore: just ask Reddy also...

julietscity: It's easy for Indians to find a job there ... because you speak English well

julietscity: But in my experience ... why do American bosses hire people who are not so good at English? Unless the company has a special relationship with an employee

romeobanglore: maybe some companies from your country

julietscity: Finding a job in the US is not easy ... my people there know, the American Labor Association also knows

romeobanglore: ok

romeobanglore: so H1 needs some boss in the US, right?

romeobanglore: what kind of person can apply H1 for you?

romeobanglore: someone like your aunt can do that?

julietscity: Just like you ... your consultant is the applicant, he needs to ask and tell the labor association he needs you, it's hard to find such a person has your experience in the United States ... so they must allow him to hire you from abroad.

julietscity: My aunt has no company with 7-15 employees in the US and she has retired for many years

romeobanglore: so...you can't apply for H1

julietscity: Of course, it is easy to apply for professionals with special skills ... such as engineers, doctors or some special professionals

julietscity: yes... I cannot be an applicant, but if a company in the US decides to hire me

romeobanglore: ok... so you can apply for a student visa only...tell these things to Reddy...let's see whether he has some information

julietscity: Reddy lives in Los Angeles. Of course, he can find a job for me ... you can also after you go to the United States ... but I don't want to bother him.

romeobanglore: no...I didn't ask you to ask Reddy to find a job for you...just tell him these are the details...

julietscity: He is a good person on the Internet, we are not the kind of friends who know very well, so how does he trust us? If we lie to him and deceive him only for me to go to America ... then why does he risk it for us?

romeobanglore: I didn't ask you to do those things...I wanted to get some more info on this if he knows

julietscity: He knows the details and thinks it's easy for me to find a job there ... yes ... maybe ... there are many companies, but how do I know I want to get a company from my people

romeobanglore: of course, I will never suggest that you ask him for finding a job for you

julietscity: So... many people risk working in a small company as illegal employees in the US

romeobanglore: try internet...and if it is not successful, leave it...apply for student Visa

julietscity: and oh... another rule form Labor Association in the US, the company if they need to hire H1 person from abroad, they have to tell the high salary and position for you...it means a small company won't pay that much money for an easy job and pay the high tax to the government

julietscity: I don't need to go to a school with high tuition ... People say there are some cheap schools there

romeobanglore: high salary...I don't know...because people go from here at rates of even 45K per annum...

romeobanglore: but maybe the consultant shows more to the labor department

julietscity: The quality of wages means ... every country must protect opportunities to hire locals

romeobanglore: ok...anyway, I will pay your fees...my only worry was about the debts

julietscity: I will work there

julietscity: but not in H1 visa

romeobanglore: let's see that there
