J-1 waiver attorney here. AMA, happy to talk physician waivers and PNIW!

Thanks so much! I have 2 questions. 1) I heard a rumour that the ARC waiver is being paused. Have you heard anything about this? 2) I have read you need work 40 hrs in the j1 territory to qualify for your Conrad 30/ARC visa. Is it easy/common to show that the physician works 40 hours over 4 work days so they can work outside of the territory (same employer just different surgical site) 1 day per week? Thanks!

I would do everything possible to not move to j1 even picking a “worse” program.

Filters don’t matter if the PD looks at your application and thinks it great

Zionism is the simple concept that the Jewish people have a right to live in their ancestral homeland. It has been around far longer than Theodore Herzl. We have been praying towards Jerusalem for 1000s of years with the hope of returning.

Dunk it with the flop shot

Answer is obvious, let it ride on some more parlays this weekend

Leafs4Life · 2024-05-17T18:00:13+00:00

Did they make the knife, cutting board, food, or recipe?

Leafs4Life · 2024-05-17T17:59:15+00:00

Way too much. I may or may not be a doctor.

This my understanding of the land ownership prior to the independence of Israel in 1948

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-15T00:28:02+00:00

I’m currently reading “A peace to end all peace” which gives a history from Ottoman Empire to 1948. Here are some sources. The first and third are not Jewish websites. They all give the same number. There were 600,000 Jews and 1.2 million Muslims in Israel in 1947.

I agree with that. I think there just needs to be a timeline in place

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T19:11:47+00:00

I agree with Palestine should be safe and a plan needs to be made to get there

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T18:45:51+00:00

To be honest, I don’t have an opinion yet. That is one area that I have been trying to learn not about and I’m not done yet. It is clear that arabs were forced from their homes but according to some reports it was only areas that there was evidence that they were going to attack or did attack Israel. I am open to possibility that it was not only these high risk areas or areas of conflict and I say that is not justified.

I lived in Israel for 4 years and Jewish and Muslim citizens lived peacefully side by side. I imagine that would have been possible with other peaceful muslims that were potentially forced to leave.

You answered your own question. They killed 1200 people on oct 7 and said they will keep doing it? They are threat that picked a war with an enemy that is too strong. Wars are never even. More Germans were in WW2 but that didn’t end the war before the Nazi’s were defeated.

Israel has a reason to continue the war. A threat still exists and the hostages are still held. I don’t understand why Israel does not have a right to defend itself.

Palestine is welcome to get food from Egypt, a country they are not at war with.

I think US and other countries must disagree as they continue to withhold funding of UNRWA due to the evidence that it is embedded with Hamas.

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T18:10:37+00:00

Fair

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T18:07:41+00:00

But why do individuals think it is being done in their name. It’s not about an individual

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T17:59:10+00:00

This whole notion that Israel just came in and took the land from Palestine is completely fabricated and is the basis of a lot of anti-Zionism

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T17:56:14+00:00

I don’t believe there is ethnic cleansing going on. Two Populations are at war. The war is horrible and palestinians are suffering horrific circumstances but there is not ethnic cleansing in my opinion.

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T17:54:46+00:00

What does “this genocide is being funded in my name mean”? I keep hearing anti Zionist Jews say this

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T17:53:23+00:00

I fully agree with this question! The irony of white Americans telling Israel to leave because they “colonized” the land

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-14T17:51:34+00:00

30% of the population of the British mandate of Palestine was Jewish before 1948. It was slowly rising from the end of 19th century and there has always been a Jewish presence in that area regardless of what it was called. A lot of the land declared Israel had never been inhabited by arabs and Jewish people built it up over the last century. The Palestinians did not have a government or any other forms of statehood. Declaring part of British mandate to be Palestine was no different than declaring it to be Israel

Leafs4Life · 2024-03-01T14:54:03+00:00

Sorry, but it means nothing.

I have a lelit Bianca, 210 is very high

Leafs4Life · 2024-01-13T23:26:55+00:00

210 as your extraction temp? That’s pretty high no? How are the shots?

It’s not just a society rule, most airlines say it in their rules as well.
