Nothing so far in the post about the last set of fingerprints. They only took 7 days last time to send me a second letter, so I am not sure if I am out of the woods, or if they are still going to send

I don't want to be rude but there are plenty of people still waiting for approvals and many have been waiting longer than 5 months. We all have circumstances that warrant a quick approval. I wouldn't

Now that it's February maybe they'll start moving to July filers..

How's everyone's new year so far? Ours is going great. I'm in the middle of trying to find a new job; pretty burnt out where I am currently. I'm really seeing first hand how tough the job market is right now :(

Good here. Our new baby is fine and I'm basically half done with a graduate degree. Can definitely relate to being burned out on a job. Just hit 5 years with my current employer...

NOA 2. Really?

The job market here, in small town USA, is pretty terrible. They closed a big plant down last summer, and that added a couple of hundred more people looking to find work.

I've got a pretty peculiar to one job sort of skill set. All of the similar employers here won't look at you without citizenship. I've got no idea why, in NZ I did the same work and I sure wasn't a citizen there either. I've even got a USA qualification, which has been no help at all.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Probably because you are in the south; it is a little different than the rest of the country...

Glad to hear! I'm been going back and forth on whether or not I want to pursue my grad degree. Not sure what I want to study so that'd be step one :blush:

I'm in social work now and even though I've only been doing it a little less than 3 years, I feel like I've been here forever. I'm ready to explore a different industry, or at least a different population!

Yeah it's terrible when that happens..nothing to do but keep looking while you sit on unemployment.

Tough field. I bet a different population to work with would be helpful. You wouldn't want to get a graduate degree in social work?

Well I suppose I am in the South now. But when I started I was in the DC area, about 20 minutes outside Washington. It was worse there for sure. 27 years experience, but no citizenship meant I couldn't even apply for positions I was more than qualified for. In two instances, they demanded that the applicant complete the US qualification within 6 months of being hired. I already had that. In fact in my last two years I taught that program. Still no dice.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

It would be interesting to know their reasoning. Unless you need a security clearance, I have no clue why citizenship would be an issue. If anything, being overqualified seems like it would be the biggest problem.

Not that sort of work. Confidentiality is an issue, but that's nothing being a citizen would effect. Over qualified...well yes, I have got that quite a lot. But given the present state of the economy, it isn't like I'd run off for something better in a big hurry.

Perhaps I might have to give up and consider my self retired by default.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

So, I have been checking this topic for the last few weeks... Nobody got approved in California center yet... i know, it's all just talking, with immigration you never know but can anybody estimate at least when Cali center can possibly start sending them cards for us "Octobers"? I even went to the last year October topic and most of people last year had cards by now ((( Not fair... I know, Vermont is even slower but C apparently sucks too now. :angry:
