Thanks D1! Will do.

I stayed at Westin Playa Conchal too. It was awesome! I recommend doing a zip line tour. At the Westin there’s a guy on the beach - Eric I think? He will organize tours for a lot less than going through the Westin. Seriously check the reviews and tons of people recommend this guy. We got a river cruise through him that was awesome. It was a private cruise with us and our driver - we had monkeys coming down and sitting on our heads and shoulders - got some cool pictures. And saw tons of cool birds and crocodiles.

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
