Has anyone applied for multiple H-1 entry visa at Calgary?  If so, what are the
chances and any suggestions to be made?  Has anyone seen a generalized posting
about applying for multiple entry H-1 at Calgary similar to the ones for
Monterrey and Quebec?  Thanks for your attention.

I'm a peruvian, married with an american for already 3 1/2 years.  I've got
the forms to apply for citizenship. My question is, is it possible to
get american citizenship and still keep my peruvian citizenship? I wrote 
a letter to the INS asking the same question and requesting the forms for
citizenship, but I only got the forms. If anyone out there who can answer
this question, please e-mail me at "guerra@cs.unc.edu"

Thanks in advance.

I received my first intimation (about being successful in the lottery) in
the second week of Nov, 1991. I had my interview for the green card on
March 20, 1992. I received the green card a month later by mail. To the
best of my knowledge you should have finished your interview by September
30, 1992.

Does anyone know what the second prefference B (P2B) cut-off date is in the
November bulletin. It was May 22, 1989 in the october bulletin and it seemed
that it hasnt moved at all for a long time. Anyone knows why?

I called this afternoon and they had the new recording on.  For the
employment based categories, it is current for E1; June 1, 1991 for E2 and
somewhere in April 1991 for E3.  But, please double check, becos I was only
really listening for the E2 dates.  Along the same lines, I have a question.
According to the previous recording which had dates per visa bull #15, E2
had a cut off date of May 22 1991.  In other words, the date has only moved
9 days in a span of a month.  Is that standard?  And could one extrapolate
from there that it could take a year for a Jan 17, 1992 priority date to
become current?  Incidentally, those in the know, what exactly is the reason
for the backlog for the few countries mentioned in the recording?  Also, if
an employer files for you in category two, and if you satisfy criteria for
category one, E1, can you re-apply?  I should mention though that we
approached the univ (PSU) and they said (unlike many other univs) that they
file for E1 only if you are tenure-track.  Is there any other way around
this, since the position is non-tenure faculty-equivalent?  Does one HAVE to
do it thru the univ.  or can one do it on one's own?  Sorry for the length
of this note and the number of questions too, but I'd appreciate any input!

As far as I know, the applicant must have his/her own job ( my case, last

Yow, Deepti, you nearly had me there... I said: couldn't be 199*1*,
could it?

I called and heard the same date in a different year (June 1, 199*0*)

the 2nd preference (P2A) *non-exempt* date (which is what most of us

Actually the popular vote has absolutely nothign to do with anything. 
The onl;y thing that matters is the electoral vote where you need a

Yes Bush was just grasping at straws.  its hard to believe that Dan

Have you all been watching the debates?
It seams to me that CLinton has the clear advantage at the debates being  
setup in a format that he is very comfortable with.  
Last night, the audience made it very clear that they wanted straight  
answers and no mud slinging.  Thus, Bush fumbeled all night long with the  
questions never actually answering anything.  Perot was long winded as  
normal, and was never able to get his points in.  Clinton, being  
accustomed to this format, got all of his points in and presented them in  
specifics.

to summarize the debates it comes down to this

Bush:  We are working on it, we just need more time.
Perot:  I will fix it.
Clinton:  I have a plan.

as far as mud slinging?
Perot had a few good shots...
Bush had maybe one or too.
Clinton kept on rolling the punches.

well I for one plan on watching Perot's infomercial tonight.
It will be on NBC, but I can not recall what time.

I must agree generally with your analysis.

It looks like a clear Clinton victory thusfar...

I'll be watching too!  For those of you who missed it:

Friday, 16th, 10:30-11:00 (EDT) on NBC
Saturday, 17th, 8:00-9:00 (EDT) on ABC

These two are different, I believe.  Of course, you'll have to
adjust the times for your time zones...times will most likely be the
same for PDT, but an hour behind for MDT and CDT....

Voting helps to determine who will be the electors in your state - it does
no other good.

Actually, they're not even worth that much!  The popular vote for each
state is only used to determine who the electors will be - whether the
electors for Bush/Quayle, Clinton/Gore, or Perot/Stockdale.  However, the
electors are in no way bound to vote for the candidate who chose them, and
they do on occasion "betray" their candidates...

Or Perot's TV spots might be entirely effective...there's a school of thought
out there now which suspects that by Nov. 3rd we will see a tight race
between Clinton and Perot, with Bush a distant third...

	I find it relatively doubtful that he will gather a significant number
of Electoral college votes if any.  The biggest effect that he will have
is to shift different states(Mostly towards Bush)  Unless it is an
extremely close race(which is genereally ruled out by the electoral
college which amplifies public sentiments)  He will probably no have
enough electoral votes to push it into the house.

It is my personal feeings that unless Clinton does somethign stupid
he has the presidential election wrapped up. Think about it, with three
candidates....no one is going to get a majority of the popular
vote and with a Democratic House and Senate, Clintto wins hands down.
The only thing Ross Perot has done by reentering the race, is hand
the office to Clinton b4 November.
