I'm not sure if it's against the TOS to post this - I'm not affiliated with this site at all. I just discovered it and thought some people here might be interested as well. It's this site I found called Coursera (www.coursera.org) where they've partnered with universities to offer courses online (some even give certificates of completion). There's even a course that starts in April called US Citizenship & Immigration https://www.coursera.org/course/immigration

Anyway, I'm going to take some of these courses, since I'll be in the country and unable to work until my EAD comes through, and I thought some other newbies to the country would want to do this too!

Thats a great site. I actually enrolled on some courses a couple of months ago, but due to my busy schedule, i have not kept up. I suggest you try the courses. But they dont offer degrees.

I'm taking courses there and I love it! I recommend it especially for people still adjusting after their move to the U.S. - you know the story: no car, no job, no friends (sigh).. Learning things at coursera keeps me sane!(Or you can go to any other place/website, Internet can teach you pretty much anything so just need to start somewhere.)

I recommend Introduction to Genetics and Evolution - the lecturer is amazing!

10/01/2014 Package sent to California Service Center

10/03/2014 NOA1

10/10/2014 Received Biometrics Appointment Letter, Biometrics scheduled for 10/30/14

10/22/2014 Early Biometrics Walk-in - Cleveland, OH - weird experience with the clerk there - told me I can go ahead and get my biometrics taken early, but it might be too early and it might not go through??? If it might be a problem, then why let me do it at all?

02/10/2015 New Biometrics letter received, Biometrics scheduled for 03/09/15- I guess that clerk was right??

03/09/2015 Second biometrics

..waiting..

5/15/2015 Put in a service request online - outside of processing time

5/18/2015 Approved!

5/23/2015 Card in hand
