He's coming over on a K3" right? won't he be able to work when he arrives in the US? The extra income would help.

He is coming on a CR1 but he will need to adjust for at least a month. I remember trying to get work for myself when I was in college here and it was hard. He will start GED classes first and then add part time work. When reading this thread everyone at first said it was hard for their SO to get a job or a real good paying one.

Craig was VERY fortunate to be able to work when he got here (cause my client works for immigration). He started his 1st job a month after he got here and that actually helped him learn alot! He even took the bus to and from and he said he likes that alot because it helps him get to know the area (although for a 20 min regular drive it takes about 2 hours by bus). He worked in a warehouse for a football (equipment & apparel) company and when they moved their offices and was laid off, he's employed by 3 different temp agencies and keeping pretty busy (except for the past 2 weeks). His lowest paid job has been $10.50/hour and he'll start a new one on Monday at $15/hour. I don't think that's to bad??

Grocery shopping....between my son & Craig, we are at the grocery store at least 2x a week. Craig loves ALL food here, well except for broccoli & mushrooms. He says he sometimes misses Jamaican food but he absolutely LOVES the food that I "put together". I'm one of the cooks that just throws things together and makes up stuff as I go along. Craig makes AWESOME chicken and he's learning all the time to "throw stuff" together like me.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaarin ----where are ya girl???

oh bummer my heart goes out to you guys. Can you fix the paper work and return for another interview soon? How long do you have to wait? I know its hard at this time but it could of been worse. Praying that you guys can get another date soon. (L)

I can't imagine what you messed up that would cause them to post-pone the interview? :huh: How did you get all the way to the Embassy before they realized there was a mistake? I'm confused. Please let us know what's going on so we can help you get this straightened out :blush:

Good luck "fixing" whatever it is! I'm sure you guys will be fine - it's just another bump in the road :luv:

I am so sorry to hear that..... I am new to the forum, and have my interview on the 27th of March. I can only imagine the feelings you are experiencing right now. Although it's hard, know that this too shall pass. It may take a little more time, but you and your SO will be together forever soon. Hang in there!
