AOS filers - July 2008

But seriously, what's the rush for the greencard? Most of the July filers have their EAD's and AP's, so then it's all good. As long as you can work and travel, there is really nothing to be stressed out about. Everybody's turn will come eventually. There are much bigger problems in the world than not getting a greencard very quickly. We need to put things into perspective. My wife was also getting stressed out over the process, but once she got her EAD and AP, she's well again.

My wife was also getting stressed out over the process, but once she got her EAD and AP, she's well again.

Even thoughhe has his EAD, my husband has been told point blank that his lack of a green card has been a mitigating circumstance in his employment (or lack thereof). Many employers here look at the GC as the litmus test of employability.

I have wondered about this too. Whilst I have been able to obtain a seasonal cashiering job. I do wonder if the fact I don't have a green card has made employers, prefer those who do have a green card over me.

I know with one interview I had. They seemed to like me, until they realized I did not have a green card.

My husband was rejected because he didn't have the GC. We gave them copies of his SS card and EAD, but they said that they couldn't except him because of it. This is the reason that I really want him to get his GC because it is a good job. :unsure:
