Hello again, and much appreciate to hear all your comments. I'll start by answering Vaughn's question about the 'business of the shop... " I work for. The company's main technology is Remote Sensing. The name of the company is Itres - Innovative Technology and Research. They, essentially have developed a very expensive camera which can be mounted on a small plane, large truck, even a helicopter, and then, pictures are taken of the ground. You're wellcome to take a look
www.itres.com. This is one of the hats I wear; webmaster, I guess they'd call it.
From what I gather, my greatest road block could be the immigration situation. It all seems to overwhelming, that I'm not sure where to start. Thanks to Ted Gould for the
http://www.ins.gov link. I will visit it for sure.
One fo the places, neighborhoods, mentioned herein has been Queen Creek. Is there any other places you guys would recommend? I'm not rich by any strech of the imagination, but with family and all, I would like to be careful where I look.Like any other city, or country in N.A., there would be a public and a private education system? What are your thoughts? And what about taxes? Rent prices for a two bedroom app? Gasoline, groceries, public transportation?Sorry, I know I'm asking a bunch of question. I appreciate your kindness in advance.Hasta Luego,
Rafael.
