offer

please be advised that tuition at American School is double of what they are offering you. Common way to figure out if the offer is good is--is it double what you are making in the US (or triple?) otherwise it is not worth coming.

UDC is a very big company hear and in-charge of The Pearl project it could easily give you and your family visa, its also a good offer already but if you could squeeze a little more all the better. Good luck
