    Experience sports bodywork for 1 hour $ 150 ？.

    Kiichiro Sports Seitai NYC aims to "condition" the body, not "heal" it.

    The care is not about strong stimulation or ad hoc changes, but about preparing the body to regain its natural function.

    What I do is to reduce the twisting and straining of the body and return it to a state where the body can move naturally.

    After that, I leave it up to the body itself to decide how it will change.

    This is recommended for those who want to adjust the burdens that have gradually built up in their daily lives, such as discomfort in the shoulders and back, tiredness, and postural imbalances.

    ✔ For those who do not like strong massage

    ✔ For those who want to continue sports or work for a long time

    ✔ For those who want to regularly tone their body


    A light touch relaxes the muscles. This treatment loosens the muscles with a light touch, and prepares the body for a state where it can work without strain.

    Reservations can be easily made via email or message.

    First, please check your body condition for an hour.

    1 hour $ 150

    How to meet the O-1A extraordinary ability requirements

    With the virtual disappearance of the H-1B visa due to Donald Trump's new exorbitant $100,000 filing fee charge, the O-1 extraordinary ability classification has become increasingly important for professional level individuals seeking to develop their careers in the US. For those who qualify, O-1 has several advantages compared to H-1B and most other work visas.

    First, unlike H-1B, O-1 is not subject to an annual quota limit. No one has to wait to be picked in a lottery to apply for O-1. Second, also unlike H-1B and L-1, there is no limit on the number of years that one can continue to work in O-1 status without having to pack up and return to one's country of origin

    Third, like H-1B and L-1, but unlike several other types of work visas, O-1 is a "dual intent" classification, meaning that one does not have to show intent to return to one's home country after finishing one's O-1 work program. There is no restriction on applying for a green card while in O-1 status.

    But here comes the difficult part of O-1: USCIS, through its regulations, has made O-1 status so hard to attain, that only comparatively few people can qualify. This is especially true of the O-1A program for people with extraordinary ability in science, business, technology and athletics.

    Even though the O-1 statute nowhere requires this, the USCIS regulations provide that to qualify for O-1A, the candidate must be one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field. There is no such requirement for O-1B extraordinary ability in the arts or in motion pictures.

    In contrast, the Congressionally enacted O-1 statute defines O-1 in general as requiring "sustained national or international acclaim".

    See 8 USC Section 1101, subsection O.

    The statute says nothing about requiring that the candidate be "one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field.".


    So how is an O-1A applicant supposed to show that he or she is one of the very few who has reached the top of his or her field? Since I am confident that no one reading this article has won a Nobel Prize (one of the stated ways of showing this!), an O-1A applicant must meet any three of eight other listed criteria. These are as follows:

    1. Receipt of "nationally or internationally recognized" prizes or awards in his or her field.

    2. Membership in a professional organization that requires "outstanding achievement" as a condition for membership.

    3. Published material about the candidate and his work in "major publications".

    4. The candidate has participated as a judge of the work of others in his or her field.

    5. The candidate has made "original" contributions of "major significance" in his or her field.

    6. The candidate has authored scholarly articles in the field in professional journals or other "major" media.

    7. The candidate has been employed in a "critical or essential" capacity for organizations and establishments that have a "distinguished" reputation.

    8. The candidate has received or will receive a "high" salary.

    The one thing that stands out among all these requirements is that they use vague terms such as "leading", "essential", "major" and "distinguished", which can mean many different things depending on the opinion of the adjudicator.

    To try to provide some clarity to the meaning of these and other similarly vague terms in the O-1A regulations, USCIS provides certain explanations and examples of ways to meet the above requirements in its Policy Manual. However, these examples are merely illustrative and do not cover all of the possible O-1A situations. I will discuss some of these explanations and examples in a future article on this topic.

    A lot has been written about the harm that will be done to the US economy in general and to the tech industry in particular by Trump's new $100,000 H-1B filing fee. Two lawsuits against this huge increase have been filed by various groups claiming, with great justification, that this increase was illegal and way beyond the powers of Trump and his administration.

    And if Trump can get away with effectively ending the H-1B program by imposing this huge new fee, what is there to stop him from imposing similar fees on all other immigration filings - such as F-1 student visas, green cards through marriage to a US citizen and all other immigration applications? If Trump is allowed to get away with this exorbitant charge for H-1B filings - based on a tissue of lies about alleged but unproven H-1B employer abuses, what is there to stop him from ending all other legal immigration programs as well by imposing similar sky-high filing fees?

    There are two main issues raised by imposing this huge, sudden filing fee increase. The first is that the filing fee increase is obviously part of Trump's racist, white supremacist immigration agenda in general. Most estimates are that 70% of current H-1B visas are held by one Asian country - India, with 11% going to China.

    But this obvious anti-Asian racism is not the only danger to America's humanistic values as a nation where everyone is equal under the law, regardless of race, religion or ancestry. By unilaterally raising the USCIS filing fee, Trump is in direct violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires a period for public notice and comment before changing any regulations affecting immigration.

    From that perspective, Trump's unilaterally ending future H-1B filings by lawlessly imposing this huge new fee is one more test of his ability to impose dictatorial power instead of following the rule of law.

    Most comments on the new filing fee are focused on the details of who is subject to it and who is exempt. While these details are of course important, they should not be allowed to obscure the larger picture of racism and dictatorship that this fee represents. I will follow the progress of the two lawsuits that have been filed against this exorbitant filing fee and write further comments based on the results of the litigation.

    marriage green card

    In this time of great uncertainty about immigration, many people are considering marriage to a US citizen or permanent resident as a safe way to get a green card. And, for many people, it is a relatively safe way. But this is true only if the rules for this case are followed very carefully.

    What are the requirements for a successful marriage green card case? These can be divided into three categories: 1) Eligibility, 2) Genuine marriage, and 3) Ability to support (Public Charge).

    1) Eligibility: Who is eligible to file for a marriage based green card? In order to file, if you are in the US, you must show that you entered the US legally, i.e. with a valid I-94. If you entered the US illegally, you can begin your marriage green card application in the US, but at some point you will have to leave the US to attend an interview for a marriage-based visa at a US consular office abroad.

    However, if you entered the US legally, you can complete your marriage green card case in the US even if your legal status has expired or if you violated your legal status.

    Your US spouse must be a US citizen (native born or naturalized) or a lawful US permanent resident (green card holder).

    2) Genuine marriage:

    Most importantly, you must have a real marriage relationship with your spouse. Entering into a fraudulent marriage just to get the green card may make you permanently ineligible to remain in the US or enter the US in the future.

    3) Means of Support - Public Charge.

    Even with a genuine marriage relationship, you must show that you have a means of support and will not need public assistance after you receive your green card. This involves an affidavit of support to be filed by your spouse, and may also require one or more additional "joint sponsor" affidavits of support to be filed by family members or friends.

    What do you need to do to show a genuine marriage relationship? Showing that you have a genuine marriage relationship is the most important part of a marriage-based green card case. After filing, you and your spouse are almost certain to be called for an interview together at the immigration office to show proof that your are living together. At the interview, you will need to show the following documents:

    a) Lease or deed to your apartment or house,
    b) bank statements - either joint or separate showing that you and your spouse have the same address,
    c) Federal and state income tax returns (either separate or joint) credit card and utility bills, insurance policies and any other documents showing that you are both receiving mail at the same address,
    d) Photos of you both together and with other close friends and family members,
    e) Optional - letters or statements from friends who have visited you both together or socialized with you both. You will likely also be asked questions about how you and your spouse met, where you went on your first date, as well as any trips you have taken together, and contact with each others' family members etc.

    Regarding affidavit of support - public charge requirements, your US spouse (and any joint sponsor) will need to file an affidavit showing current income of at least 125% of the current poverty level guidelines for your household size as published by the US Department of Labor, along with his or her US (IRS) tax return for the latest filing year showing at least the above income. He or she will also be required to show at least the above amount of adjusted gross income from IRS tax returns for the two most recent previous tax years (though the actual returns for those two previous years are not required. Affidavit of support sponsors and joint sponsors are also required to show W-2 forms, pay records or other proof of income or assets meeting the above requirements.

    In summary, the documentary requirements for a marriage green card case are both complex and strict, and they require careful preparation by an experienced immigration attorney, Roger Algase, Attorney at Law, has more than 40 years experience with marriage -based immigration cases and he is ready to help you no matter where you live in the US, and whether your marriage is opposite or same sex.
