Can a US citizen travel to the UK for 6 months with no visa, then leave the UK for a few days and go back and stay another 6 months?
No the maximum amount of time you can come here is 90 days visa free same as us British Citizens going to America when i use the visa exemption going to America I cannot re enter within 180 days after being there for 90 I couldn’t go to Canada on the 90th day and try get back in theoretically it’s possible but very difficult to do so unless I have a good reason for needing to go back.If you want to come for 6 months you need a visa And 6 months isn’t travelling that’s residing here doing what the question implies thats a total of a year so no officially you cant because that looks like you’re actually living here and you will be refused entry the Border Agency are very aware of people crossing borders just to extend their stays, and will soon catch on if it the visa exemption is being used incorrectly without a valid reason to return to the U.K. shortly after having just left.There is something called the spent leave rule. That means you need to spend the same amount of time out of the UK, that you spent inside. You need to spend at least 3 months outside the UK before attempting to re-enter. If you try to re-enter before 3 months has passed you will be denied entry and have a refusal notification flag against you. If this happens, you will always have to officially apply for a visitors visa from the country you are resident in, a royal pain in the arse we’re as strict as America if not worse.The applicant must satisfy the decision maker that they are a genuine visitor. This means that the applicant:(a) will leave the UK at the end of their visit; and(b) will not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK their main home; and(c) is genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitor routes (these are listed in Appendices 3, 4 and 5); and(d) will not undertake any prohibited activities set out in V 4.5 – V 4.10; and(e) must have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to their visit without working or accessing public funds. This includes the cost of the return or onward journey, any costs relating to dependants, and the cost of planned activities such as private medical treatment.
Electrician apprenticeship?
Many fellow union members have given good information, the economy was pretty slow like it is now when I got into the trade in the 80's, and most people that got into the apprenticeship programs needed employer referrals usually obtained by working in a support position. You may want to take that approach and contact the employers listed on the Local 488 website. If your Yahoo bio is up to date this may be useful, CT requires 8000 hours work experience and approved classroom education to be eligible to take the "02" license exam, (top level 01 is a contractors license), less for some limited specialty categories. I can't speak specifically about Lincoln Tech, but in many areas schools with names similar to that provide education for non-union apprentices, while the JATC provides training for IBEW trainees.

How far will US$ 10K/month take us as a family of 7 in Argentina right now?
You’ll do just fine.In Buenos Aires or Mendoza, you would be able to get a nice house in a high middle class neighborhood, and live comfortably. (Thank the large American expat community for raising Mendoza’s prices)In any other major provincial city, you would be able to get in the very best neighborhood.In a small town in a province that’s doing well, you’ll be the top dog. People will say “good morning, sir” to you (not the norm in Argentina).In a small town in one of the poor provinces, people will line up at your door to beg for food and/or money.Bear in mind bilingual schools are all private and scarce outside the major cities, and will be rather expensive. If your kids are smart and you plan to stay for a long time, don’t be afraid to send them to a Spanish-only public school -they will learn quickly, particularly the younger ones. My two children went to a public school in the USA, without knowing any English in advance, and within a couple months they were at the top of the regular classes.
Why do U.S. citizens need visas for Brazil?
It is called reciprocity. Brazilians needs visas to com ela to US. So Brazil also requires visa from US citizens. Brazilian people can travel to Europe without a visa, thus Europeans can travel to Brazil without a visa.... This is normally how the countries work on these matters...
What can the government do to reduce unemployment?
Unemployment is a situation when the overall demand by the society can be met by employing less than 100% (say 70% of population). The overall demand of a society is itself a function of its total income.Lets take example of a family that wishes to spend just 60% of its income and save other 40% for investment pupose. That 60% expenditure will generate demand in the economy and will require only certain economy agents and rest of them will be unemployed or partially employedIt can be tackled in several ways.a) In crease the overall demand of country. It basically means make different sectors more efficient such that they are able to produce more at less cost. Thus consumption demand will increase as people will be able to consume more as they will have more to exchange among themselves. Eg( a society will have 500 kg of Rice and 100kg of steel as against just 100kg rice and 10 kg steel previously.). It will generate jobs for the economy as a whole.b)Create unified marketplaces: It helps to bring buyers and sellers together and helps to generate jobs. For example a craftsman in a village in Varanasi..can get orders from a business house in mumbai. As a result..it can provide jobsc)Reduce transaction cost of doing business: At the end of the day, businesses generate value of the entire economy.. they pay taxes to run the country and employ lakhs of people. Transaction costs in the form of corruption or multiple compliances restrict growth of companies. In our socialistic days..we created artificial poverty by choking of businesses and created unemployment consequently
Is the National Debt Relief a scam?
That National Debt Relief is a Scam! But they are slick in the way that they operate and know tricks to cover up their dirt so it's hard to prove. A friend of mine signed up for their debt settlement program about 7 months ago and they screwed her over so much in fees and ruined her credit in the process that it sent her into a great depression. I knew they were up to no good because they kept relentlessly pursuing her to sign up with their scam program just like you described. I wouldn't trust this National Debt Relief with a 10 foot pole no matter how they look on the surface..they are nothing but some crooks preying on people who are already struggling! WARNING: I did a search and even found how they could be operating under different names (see source). I been around a long time and am aware of companies like this that keep changing their names, locations, and phone numbers to cover up their dirt and then keep coming back under a clean slate with clean BBB record, and more fake testimonials and all to just repeat the process, keep duping the public, and making tons of money . This makes me sick to my stomach! I sure hope the FTC and other authorities will continue to pursue and put a stop to these scams - no matter slick these crooks operate the people are getting wiser & wiser everyday not to fall for these scams. I commend you for being smart enough to ask around on this matter. Also you can check with your creditors and usuallly they will be willing to work with you if you come at them honestly and sincerely. This is what I did years ago -on my own- to settle my debt and my creditors reduced my payment and debt amount until it was cleared. Remember: If you are behind on your debt, creditors will usually like to get paid something rather than nothing at all - so this makes them highly motivated to work with you.
