wingy Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I have three Nepali friends (1 married couple and a male friend) who have tourist visas to visit the US. They would like to come to Seattle this summer, to work and make money to return to Nepal with. They all speak English very well, and work in the high Asia basecamp services industry. They have all visited the US before, for a period of at least 1 month. I am concerned about renting them a house to stay in Seattle (they do not have significant experience living in electric/gas homes, nor I am not sure if I could convince a landlord that they would be safe renters.) I am also worried about finding them work so that they can make money, both because their visas do not permit them to work and because of transportation-to-and-from-work thing. I thought some of you might have good ideas. Thanks. Quote
