I was speeding for safety reasons. Can I fight the ticket in court? My spouse seems to be very unhappy here. What can he (or she) do while I’m studying? Can I return from Canada on an expired visa? I am having a lot of trouble keeping up with the reading. Can you recommend a private English tutor? Can you recommend a good hairdresser? Lawyer? Pediatrician? Dentist? Car insurance agent? Real estate agent?
