2012-2024 Form

NOTE: ** MY EXPERIENCE in Nov-Dec, 2012 in New York.I'm an American and I've been getting annual visas (sometimes 3-month ones)  for about 20 years to live and work in Russia. It's a complex, involved process but truly do-able if you have some money and patience. You must start with an "invitation" which many visa agencies can sell you and from there you need to go to a Russian Consulate to file for and get your actual visa.The rules and requirements have changed over the years and a few years ago it got much tougher. I even had to get HIV Blood tests several years to get a 1 year visa. A new agreement has been signed by the U.S. and Russian authorities (Jan 2012) to relax the procedure and lengthen the visa but it has yet to be approved by the Russian Duma.**MY APPLICATION FOR THE NEW 3-YEAR BUSINESS VISA WAS JUST REFUSED by the head of the New York Russian Consulate Visa Department. I had to settle for a double-entry, 3-month one filed through the new Visa Center (charging an extra $30. fee) there.For the past three years, Americans can get their visa quickly in the U.S. (I've found New York City Consulate very pleasant) or, if you try to do it in Europe you may be refused (The Netherlands and Denmark) or otherwise be required to wait for two weeks (since you don't have residency in the European Union). I've found Helsinki very pleasant and efficient.Entering Russia with a passport and visa still requires two more steps to stay legal:**THE MIGRATION CARD IS NOW DONE AT PASSPORT CONTROL FOR YOU (if you are flying)  filling out a Migration Card (actually a slip of paper) upon crossing the border that you must have with you until you exit and,registering your visa if you stay in one city for five days (I believe that's the new period). The registration can be done by a hotel or hostel or, if you are staying in a private home, the Russian owner of the flat can fill out the forms and pay a small fee at certain post offices. **NEW LOCATION FOR REGISTRATION

Colleagues:There is no longer any time to waste.At every bargaining session for the last year and a half, negotiators for The Times have offered us the same poisoned chalice: perpetually shrinking compensation.Today we begin a series of actions to make sure that the company hears and understands our position. We have more than earned fair wages and benefits. We will accept nothing less.That message has not yet gotten through, despite huge concessions by our representatives. It is time to raise our voices.Having been told that The Times urgently needed to freeze pension obligations, the Guild brought to the table an alternative plan that absolves the company of all volatility, and shifts the risks entirely to us.How did the company respond to this historic change? Its negotiators returned with radical demands to slash our wages and benefits. Their early proposals called for an overall $12,000 annual cut, in real dollars, to our compensation package.Then it got worse.In their latest proposal, The Times proposed to extend the term of the contract, piling on additional years of reduced wages and benefits. That would make the new real cost to each one of us at least $15,000 annually. Other responsible estimates reckon that the losses to us are even higher. No matter how hard you squint at the numbers, they never get better.As far as the eye can see, your wages and benefits would decline.By itself, that is a formula for disaster, for us as individuals, and for the ability of The New York Times to attract and keep talented people. But there’s even more. Now they want – or so they say – separate contracts for digital and print journalists, even though there are no longer meaningful distinctions in the work we do. Our journalism is distributed across multiple platforms, print, digital, audio and video. That was and (we think) still is the vision of Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr. for The New York Times of the 21st Century. It was a vision embraced without reservation throughout the newsroom. That took plenty of work. But we all saw it as necessity and opportunity.Any proposal to dismantle the decade of work that has been done to unify the newsroom, securing its place as the world’s premier news organization, could be laughed off as far-fetched legal gimmickry. After all, that would be an act of self-immolation. But even if it’s not worth serious consideration, it has landed just we are heading at full speed toward a crisis over genuine issues like our pay and benefits.They threaten to declare impasse; they burn up hours on low-farce; then they slap down another version of their repugnant demands to cut our compensation.It is long past time for the company and its negotiators to pay attention to what matters most of all to us. Together, we can make sure that happens. Join in, as beginning today, we will repeat our message until they hear it:Nothing less than fair wages and benefits.Believe us.New York Newspaper Guild’s message to Times members

As Sarah said, leave it blank or, if it's a free-form text field, put in "Freelancer".If you put in $50k and they were thinking of paying $75k, you just lost $25k/year.  If you put in $75k, but their budget only allows $50k, you may have lost the job on that alone.If you don't put in anything, leave it to the interview, and tell thm that you're a freelancer and adjust your fee according to the difficulty of the job, so there's no set income.  If they ask for how much you made last year, explain that that would include periods between jobs, where you made zero, so it's not a fair number.In any financial negotiation, an old saying will always hold true - he who comes up with a number first, loses.  Jobs, buying houses - they're both the same.  Asking "How much?" is the better side to be on.  then if they say they were thinking of $50k-$75k, you can tell them that it's just a little less than you were charging, but the job looks to be VERY interesting, the company seems to be a good one to work for and you're sure that when they see what you're capable of, they'll adjust your increases.  (IOW, "I'll take the $75k, but I expect to be making about $90k in a year.")They know how to play the game - show them that you do too.

Hi,Towards the front of your Immigration Form there is a check list. This check list explains the documents you will need to include with your form (i.e. passport documents, proof of funds, medical information etc). With any visa application it’s important to ensure that you attach all the required information or your application may be returned to you.The forms themselves will guide you through the process, but you must ensure you have the correct form for the visa you want to apply for. Given that some visa applications can carry hefty fees it may also be wise to check with an Immigration Adviser or Lawyer as to whether you qualify for that particular visa.The form itself will explain which parts you need to fill out and which parts you don’t. If you don’t understand the form you may wish to get a friend or a family member to explain it to you. There is a part at the back of the form for them to complete saying that they have assisted you in the completion of it.If all else fails you may need to seek advice from a Immigration Adviser or Lawyer. However, I always suggest calling around so you can ensure you get the best deal.
