Indenture Contract——别人先帮你付路费，过了后签约工作挣钱赎身，时间从3-7年
不定，一般是4年。
史书记载，如此过了的人包括英格兰、爱尔兰、德国人等等，人数超过350，000人。

blatantly clear that this regulation has been designed by an industry that
benefits greatly from this unending stream of indentured H1B slaves who can
never escape the iron clad immigration hold. The losers in this game are the
American tax payers and the high tech slaves. The industry clearly prefers
to hire foreigners on H1B visas who can work for far less and aren't a

发帖数: 9035 | 7 孙虹律师： 在中国直接通过EB1A申请美国绿卡的特殊要求
近年来我们律师事务所帮助一部分在中国 （或者在美国境外的其他国家，比如，英国
，德国，日本，韩国，等）的科研人员直接通过EB1A成功获得全家美国绿卡。 这种在
美国境外通过EB1A申请绿卡的证据要求，和在美国境内申请EB1A基本上是相同的。
但是有一个不同点，就是这一类EB1A申请人，需要证明他们获得绿卡后，将会在到美国
继续本领域的工作，并对美国国家利益做出贡献。如何举证证明呢？ 其方法之一，是
由美国的教授，或者公司等，提供一封 当EB1A申请人获得绿卡后，“意图聘用” 他到
自己的实验室，或者公司工作的信。 这封信完全不同于正式的 “Job Offer”。 美国
移民局的基本要求是， 出具这封信的 “意图” 必须是真实的。 但是EB1A申请人在获
得绿卡，进入美国后， 并非必须到提供此信的实验室，或者公司工作。 他是有自由选
择工作的权利的。 因为这封 “Intent to Offer”a Job 的信并非一份卖身契，将
EB1A申请人绑定与任何一个雇主。 而对于出具这封信的教授或者公司，也没有权利强
迫EB1A申请人一定... 阅读全帖 |

The New England, Maine, or Atlantic lobster, was once so prolific on Cape
Cod that the colonists actually used them primarily as fertilizer for their

more than "poverty
