It used to cost $55US for a H2B work permit. It now costs $320 plus a $125 fraud fee. IDIOTS!!!!

At least they are starting to make some progress. I have recently been on the phone with a lobbyest in Washington D.C. complaining about the outrageous fees that are in place presently for a H2B permit. He claims that the battle is being fought on the national level.

I found and contacted two state senators and one house representative from New Hampshire that are members of the musicians union here in the states. They claim to be working on a fix as well.

I wish my wife would move to Canada. It is embarrassing being even half American these days. :cry:

That sucks.

My wife and I periodically talk about moving to the States, but as time goes by, the less and less it seems worth it.

Dear Andrew,

If you move any further away from me, I will have no choice but to cry.

Sincerely,
