Visa Barriers Cut ACHS Teacher’s Time Short — “Over a year and a half, [Misa] Suzuki has established herself as a valuable member of the ACHS community and connected with students through ASL, however, her time has been tragically cut short due to an inability to acquire a new work visa … ‘Under the Trump administration’s policies, the options for obtaining this work visa are extremely limited,’ said Suzuki. ‘It is hard to accept, but I will treasure my two years of work experience and strive to do my best in Japan.'” [Theogony]
APD Warns of Funeral Home Scam — “As part of APD’s Holiday Crime Prevention Plan, we want to make our community aware of a scam affecting parts of Virginia.
