So, my temp agency called me up yesterday and told me that I could start a position that afternoon. I thought, 'great', be nice to get out the house! Then she told me it would be working for an immigration lawyer... Nothing against them, it's just that after going through K1 and now AOS, I don't really feel like looking at NOAs and documentation for other people as well!!

So guess what my first job was yesterday?? Filling out an I129F for someone...............

Oh well, it pays!

OMG.

That's my dream job.

Seriously.

Either that or working for USCIS/DOS.

Ditto...

Just imagine... you are so capable of helping someone in the way that probably no-one else can. I would love to work for an immigration lawyer, with the knowledge I have now about this process it'd be just a breeze....

Congratz on you new job...

Congratulations on the job and the benefit of getting paid now for something you have been doing all along. :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.
