Mr. Schwarzenegger was the keynote speaker at the Game Changers summit. It was a great honor to meet an idol, a man that inspires me as an immigrant. I captured his effect on me in my book, “The Flavor of Favor: Quest for the American Dream. A Memoir. “

By that time, I had completed law school and had become a lawyer. I ventured further then and ended my symbolic walk at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium, just next to the city hall.

In front of the Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium stands an eight-foot, bronze statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his favorite pose, solid in its sinewy majesty. I walked to the base of the statue, sat next to it and tried to evoke the presence of Schwarzenegger and how he must have felt when he first arrived in the U.S. from Austria as a young man in his twenties, unsure of what his future would be like in this new land.  I craved the success he had built for himself over the years, becoming the face of body building, winning the Mr. Universe contest and the Mr. Olympia contest seven times, and becoming an international movie star, a political juggernaut and the governor of the largest state in the U.S. I was inspired afresh by this statue and the story of the man himself.

All things are indeed possible, with hard work, determination and God.”

I’m new to the immigration practice, and recently submitted an I-129 for 15 H-2B landscape workers. I knew the deadline would be close, but I convinced the client that we could take the chance.

If a PWD is about to expire and you want to post at least one form of recruitment to save it, does the NOF count? Or does it have to be the SWA, Sunday ads, or one of the other 3 pieces? Regs aren’t super clear and my googling is iffy at best.
