Thanks everyone for the welcome...as it turns out hubby didn't get the offer in the end...really devastating, as it went so far. He's really struggling at the moment as its been hard and bureaucratic to get into society here for him. He does have his SSN and just got his temporary driving license (we both thought he'd get the real thing, another disappointment). He left behind a good and prestigious job in Sierra Leone only to be jobless and broke here and can't do much but sit and wait for who knows how long until EAD and a job (which also is difficult at the moment). Its hard also for him to accept me as a breadwinner (I've just got a short term consultancy to pay very good money).

Sorry to get off on a tangent, that's where we are at the moment.

Hope someone getw some good news soon!

Sorry to hear about the job, hopefully there will be others he will like just as much. I just started my search for a job, but nothing to serious right now,as I have a kiddo at home to take care of.

Good look to you and yours :)

Wow, you had to wait, is your Biometrics office busy all the time, that's crazy, but at least it's done now :)

I haven't been there before so can't speak to how it normally is. They were pretty busy today though - there were probably 10 to 12 people in front of us and another 7 or 8 came in while we were waiting. Only 2 people taking biometrics, but one had something more complicated going on - she had to keep going back to another office to do something.

I wonder if it's because it's the weekend. Ah well main thing is you guys got it done and can relax about that now.

Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend :)

Yeah sometimes it's really hard to just sit and wait. I have a full time job for 12 years and been used to being so busy, not having much time for myself and been on sleep deprivation due to too much work.. And now I'm not doing anything.. Hmm.. maybe i just have to enjoy these times.. but sometimes I can't help myself not to get bored. :D

Hoping to hear good news soon!

So...after saying the other day that you don't get texts/emails for touches, we got a text for a touch today. No update on the website except the date changed, so that's kind of random.

Great news on the touch Katie...its something, right?

Mel, you are taking advantage of your free time, that's great. I would be the same. Hubby goes up and down, sometimes very positive, other times really bummed out. Some people handle things differently I suppose. He helped me with our huge 100 ft x 100 ft garden and is painting my mom's house which has been taking lots of time. He needs to be busy. He also worries about providing for his kids who are still in SL. But I agree, look at the bigger picture!

Anyway, have a great fourth to all! Govt offices closed Monday? Booo. :hehe:
