:dance::dance: Just posting that after 13 months of full time education my wife took her California State Board of Cosmetology examination today and was in the half of the group that passed and received their licenses. She's as happy as a little girl and yes, that means we will have one more Vietnamese beautician in Califorrnia!!

Congratulations :D

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Was the test given in Vietnamese Language or English?

Just curious, my wife took the nails test (as a weekend job) but she failed because it was given in English (many special terms to remember) next she'll retake it in Vietnamese. It should be a little easier.

Those beauty salons are funny....it's just like being back in Nam with gossip and lots of "Troi Oi"'s :)

It was given in English only. I know what you mean about the salons. Today we submitted applications in 5 salons- 3 were owned by Vietnamese even though they are American Franchises (Fantastic Sams, Supercuts) and in most it is nothing but Vietnamese working. Then they all have the nail place next door and I don't have to tell you what that is like!

Anyway- the job hunting is going pretty good. As I said, she submitted 5 applications and before we got home 2 of the places had called her on her cell to set up an interview. At JC Penny she submitted an online application in the mall, and before we exited the mall the manager called her cell and set an interview up for this evening. She's pretty happy :thumbs:

Does this mean you get a discount on JC Penny purchases just in time for the Christmas Holidays? (No, I'm not politically correct)

Yes it does! However, today we walked right through JC Penny with her bag of clothing she bought for work--From Macy's!! :lol:

Congrats! :dance:

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

10/07/2006 WEDDING DAY!

11/14/2006 AOS packet made it to 'the box' after being overnighted.

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

02/28/2007 Paul gets email letting us know his GREENCARD is on it's way! It's done...for now!

03/09/2007 Paul's greencard arrives. And breathe...

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!
