奥本在制定第一季度排期的时候手上是有数据的，尽管这个数据可能不是最新的，但是

这是他自己说的：我没有理由不相信。
The EB-2 China final action date remains unchanged for December 2015 and Mr.
Oppenheim expects that this date will remain the same in the upcoming
months, given that immigrant visa number use is expected to exceed targeted
usage for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Oil price slumps again as US crude inventories surge

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices plunged on Wednesday, ending a four-day rally,
after the U.S. government reported that crude inventories surged last week.
The 6.3 million barrel increase was far more than analysts had expected and

I don't think you can get $2,200 a month for that unit including the parking

发帖数: 208 | 36 网上冒泡问问大家，请给些意见哦～
3月末签合同说要5月末close,他们也没说什么。
可是现在5月末过去了，他们的材料没有好，无法close也没有个timeline。
具体情况，这是个brand new condo, 我们应该有master deed和CO, 但是人家的master
deed 刚刚拟好（5月初开始催了好久，刚刚弄完），但是还要上交政府审批才可以。
CO也是temporary的，据说要拿master deed 才能要到正式的CO, 而且我们有正式的CO
才可以申请tax abatement（NJ新房减税政策，要在close一个月内申请）。现在看来，
显然他们没有准备好就跟我们签了合同。
我们的租房5月末就到期了，但是manager说可以多住一段时间，他们也在找下家，但是
不可能是一两个月。。。而且这房租也不知道是多少钱，肯定是按月算的，这种情况可
以跟seller要credit么？这个完全是没必要的损失啊。。我看合同里没有写delay了会
怎么样的条款。
老有那么一种冲动，这房不买了，因为seller交涉起来太拖沓，没信用。TAT
请给些建议吧，先谢过大家～ |
