    I am in the process of purchasing a home in the area of Murrieta? Lake Elsinore? area. I am wishing to stay in the states but as I have no skills that qualify me to remain in the states...I am looking into starting some kind of business which employs a minimum of 6 employees... Therefore allowing me to remain in the states for as long as I own the business. Can you send me more information please and let me know if it would be possible to have a location near where I will be living? Thankyou for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely. Carrie Giroux
