Credential Evaluations and Their Role in H-1B RFE Responses
When an H-1B petition receives a Request for Evidence, the focus often turns to foreign academic credentials. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may ask for confirmation that a degree meets United States standards, that the issuing institution is recognized, or that coursework supports the position offered. These requests require careful documentation and clear academic analysis.

Writing About Writing: The End
A lot of people say that the hardest thing about writing a book (or script, or comic) is starting it. Choosing where to begin, not to mention how the story should start, picking a good opening line to hook the readers, and of course the process of writing an entire story from start to finish. It's a daunting challenge. However, in my opinion there is something even more important: How to end it.

Unicorn Sightings (4/?)
Marion Sylverset’s journal — May 15th: I was called in to analyze footage today. I must say I was surprised. As the zoologist, I do comb over the preserve’s footage every two weeks to observe the wildlife’s uninterrupted interactions. But I just did that four days ago.

From System Failure to Human Error: My Journey Through Words ✍️
Writing, for me, is a process that borders on the magical—the art of precision in word choice, the unfolding of complex thoughts, and, most importantly, the act of creating something out of absolute nothingness. It is a craft I’ve fallen in love with, even though it can be as fickle as it is rewarding. 🌌 My literary journey began with a deeply personal, raw reckoning with my past in the book "404: Reality Not Found", where I chronicled the difficult path from the darkness of addiction back to the land of the living. 🕯️ Today, my pen has turned toward pure fiction—specifically, dark sci-fi set in a world dominated by algorithms: "Human.exe Error 0x000". 🤖💻

My Favorite Essay
I return to this essay each spring, scattering my ink under Eliot’s. I remember Dr. Evans’s shock at my love for Eliot. It seemed incongruent with my love of Mark Twain and Steinbeck and all of those early loves who stole my heart with strong voices. Eliot employs voice differently than fiction writers, and for me, the voice of “Tradition and the Individual Talent” feels like the canon itself is speaking, directly to me, as if I am the recipient of a love letter from literature itself. When Wally (Dr. Evans) referred to Eliot (and Emerson and Hume) as stuffy old bastards, it was my turn to react with shock. I’m sure I looked at him like he had three heads or a tuba growing out of one ear. I feel an intimacy when I read Eliot. “Journey of the Magi” brought me to tears the first time I read it.

The Accidental Novelist
I never intended to write a novel. But I did. And HarperCollins published it. Titled The Gorgeous Girls, it was based on a number of pieces I'd written for Toronto's NOW magazine. They appeared in NOW's feature, Naked City, which was all about love and sex.

Fading Ink
The box was never meant to be opened. It had lived quietly on the highest shelf of my childhood closet, taped at the corners, labeled in my own looping handwriting: “Important — Do Not Throw Away.” I used to think anything I labeled important would remain that way forever.
