There are many legal ways to immigrate to the USA, and one thing my husband and I wished we knew about was the EB2-NIW process. With this visa, you are not relying on a company to start the Green Card process.

Did you know that an advanced degree plus five years of work experience are the criteria to apply for the EB2-NIW, which provides a direct path to a Green Card?

Make sure to write an email to info@d4uusa.com with your resume to learn more about it and find out if you qualify!

______________________
🇧🇷 Há muitas maneiras de imigrar legalmente para os EUA - e Thiago e eu queríamos muito ter escutado sobre o EB2-NIW antes - já que com esse pleito você não fica dependendo de uma empresa começar o processo do Green Card pra você.

Você sabia que o visto EB2 é um caminho direto para Green Card, destinado para profissionais acima da média? Para vocês entenderem melhor, nos EUA um profissional com bacharelado + pelo menos 5 anos de experiência em sua área, pode ser considerado um profissional acima da média.

Envie um email para info@d4uusa.com com o seu currículo para uma análise gratuita e entender mais sobre o processo!

HOW I’VE BEEN IMPROVING MY ENGLISH - some of the

HOW I’VE BEEN IMPROVING MY ENGLISH - some of these tips are also great for native speakers!

I started to learn English by myself when I was a kid. One of my favorite things to do was translate my favorite songs - word by word with the help of a dictionary. I also had English classes at school, which were mostly focused on Grammar.

I only enrolled in a proper English school after graduating from college. I didn’t have plans to live abroad yet, but I knew that learning English would open many doors.

Since I moved to NYC in 2014, I have taken various classes and courses that have greatly improved my confidence in speaking the language.

📕I’m grateful for the @nypl ESL program. This free program is available at various branches across the five boroughs. Check their website for more information regarding the registration process - classes are accessible to everyone regardless of immigration status.

👗The @fitnyc ESL/Fashion Certificate Program was such a cool experience. It was during my first year living here, and I was so anxious about having classes in English about a specific topic (fashion). Until that moment, my only English classes were ESL ones. I was so proud of myself.

💻 I absolutely love @italki and the fact that you can find teachers of over 150 languages. I found great teachers who helped me improve my conversation and writing skills.

📝I can’t recommend @gothamwriters classes enough. My only regret was allowing my insecurities to get in the way, which prevented me from enrolling sooner.

🗣️The Accent Coach - these classes helped me A LOT. I’ve improved my pronunciation and gained more confidence. Unfortunately, Claudette has retired - but Jay Alexander Poulton is now the new Accent Coach. You can contact him through the website www.theaccentcoach.com

⌨️ @grammarly - the best writing assistant! Grammarly saves me every time I write in English. The paid version is 10/10.

Bonus: For pronunciation practice, make sure to download @elsa_speak .This app has many features to help you improve your speaking skills!

Speaking a 2nd language is a marathon, not a race. And I truly believe we are always learning. Enjoy the journey! #english

🪞 BEAUTY SERVICES IN NYC - MY TOP RECS I’m a

🪞 BEAUTY SERVICES IN NYC - MY TOP RECS

I’m a very DIY girl when it comes to beauty. I can do my nails, waxing, I can take care of my skin, putting on some basic makeup - but there are some things that you can’t just do it at home.

So, here are my top recommendations when it comes to beauty services in NYC:

🧴FACIALS

@fildstudio offers different facials - but since you are treating yourself, get the 60-minute one. And if you like extractions, Keiko is your girl here. Her hands are magical, and my skin keeps glowing for days after.

@lanyorganics - If you are looking for a relaxing experience, I highly recommend LANY Organics. Laurie Adams is so sweet. She uses products from @dralkaitis and takes a supernatural/organic approach. The environment is super cozy and relaxing.

💉BOTOX

@fildstudio - I have mixed feelings about Botox and fillers - but Botox really made a whole difference in my esteem when I did last year. The only time I got Botox here in the city was at FILD Studio as well. It was super fast, plus I liked how long it lasted.

💇‍♀️ HAIR

When it comes to hair, the people are trust the most are Brazilians - especially for color and highlights or a more “radical” hair cut.

@danidaninyc - I’ve been doing highlights with Dani for years and I absolutely love her attention to details and her professionalism. Dani is also amazing with haircuts.

Also recommend @filipibolchevi - I haven’t done highlights with him, but a friend of mine did more than once and he is really good! I got a haircut with him, and I loved his attention to detail.

💆🏼‍♀️ BODY MASSAGE

If you are looking for Lymphatic Drainage, Sculpting massage and other massages, @lizsoares is your girl. Make sure to check her page and her method.

AND WHAT IF THE AMOUNT YOU PAY FOR RENT IN NYC COU

AND WHAT IF THE AMOUNT YOU PAY FOR RENT IN NYC COULD BE CONVERTED TO POINTS?

(Featuring some beautiful and expensive townhouses to illustrate the content 🤣)

New Yorkers pay A LOT in rent – but you can take advantage of that.

There’s a credit card that allows you to pay your rent with it - without transaction fees - and earn point for each dollar spent on rent. These points can then be redeemed for various rewards like travel, shopping, or even a down payment on a home.

I’ve been using Bilt for over a year. It gives me extra points when I use my card for dining out, plus some other perks. It has no annual fee and doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees.

I’m currently looking for flight tickets for a trip in January, and I’ll be able to use my points to pay for two round-trip tickets.

And don’t worry about the landlord, who only accepts checks – you can set up that on Bilt. So, it doesn’t matter if it’s a bank transfer or a check, they got you covered.

The link for the application is on my bio - make sure to check it out (it’s valid for other cities as well!)

Is the tote bag the “it bag” in New York City?

Is the tote bag the “it bag” in New York City? I think so 😍

I mean, you can fit so many things - I love to bring a water bottle, my wallet, sunglasses, my phone, a light jacket…

But totes don’t need to be boring - what I love about them is that you can choose one to match your personality. And @newyorkeratheart_ totes are the perfect totes for all NYorkers, born, raised, transplanted.

Some brunch spots and brunch experiences in New Yo

Some brunch spots and brunch experiences in New York City 🍳🧇🥞🥑☕️🥂

@clintonstbakingco - one of the best pancakes in the city, period. You can go to their original location and also finding them at @timeoutmarketnewyork

@tanner_smiths - besides being a great option to go to before or after a Broadway show or even a concert at Carnegie Hall, it is a perfect spot to have brunch - from Wednesday to Sunday – with the option to add on bottomless cocktails with an entree.

@citizens.of is also a spot offering breakfast and brunch options every day - love their avocado toast and the Belgian Waffles.

@labarcacantina is an experience. Brunch on a boat, with a Mexican twist and beautiful views.

@cityexperiences Bateaux brunch cruise is such an special experience as well as @classicharborline - their cruise fully circumnavigate the Island of Manhattan passing under 20 bridges!

If you want the link for one of the cruises, let me know and I send it to you!
