I haven't even applied yet...I hope I'm not in for a shock in the job search. I hear Manhattan jobs are tough to get. I'm studying at the moment, my exams are in july/Aug so I'll be busy until then. I can't work in my field without passing :(

I'm heading to London this weekend :):) so so excited!! Already booked in afternoon tea and a drinking session at the local pub!

Did you accept your job offer?

Oh god I want to head home so bad. Miss family and friends. Can I pls sneak in your luggage my Ap has not arrived yet so perhaps I could disguise myself as a coat or something lol.

How long do you plan to stay for?

Yeah best to pass the exams first and give yourself a better chance of getting the job you want.

My job starts Monday suppose to go see hr on Thursday to complete paper work etc.

Welcome to American work life my hubby said. From here on you work work work and work some more lol.

Hope life is not just going to be work work.

Hello guys, here is the latest update from our side.

AOS Interview went well, IO was very nice and had chit-chat with him for 15 minutes and then the good news, :dancing: we were approved on the spot. He took the EAD card from me and said this is not valid anymore and gave a print out of the Green Card approval. As per him we will get our card in 1-2 weeks max. Thank God and thank you everyone at VJ for helping out with all the valuable info.

Good luck to all of you and hope you get approved soon.

Wow I know where your talking about. Am always at the farmers market it's healthier than buying veg and fruit from publix. Like you we do the farmers market and krogers for things that aren't veggie and fruits.

Isn't it a small world we live in. Imagine we just down the road from each other.

It is a small world. We might had bumped at each other in there already..lol..we shop on weekends only. Your husband is right people here focus so much on work work and more work, my husband is not an exception to that but life is too short not to enjoy. We always try to explore places whenever we can. Hospital schedule is crazy. My sister is also a nurse back home we hardly see her always on overtime.

Anyways, checked USCIS today, status for EAD mailed already, again no notification. We are expecting approval of AP will arrived today since they mailed it last Friday.

Yes uscis don't seem to send messages all the time. My status still stuck at card in production so I wonder if they have mailed it and yet no message to say it has been mailed.

It hopefully turns up tomorrow or Friday.

Congratulations very happy for you well done.

Lol I did my drug screen last week. Haha apparently that's the norm here in the usa to have drug screen before commencing a job and random ones may be given while employed. The lady at my daycare that works for the same company I will be working for said it's not there fault they think everyone's a heroin addict lol.

I guess we have no choice but to follow the rules makes you wonder just how trusting of people they are here.

Oh well onwards with the process we go. Hope you enjoy working for the company that hired you. When's the start date am due to start Monday still no word. The card in production status is still has not changed.

Thank you!!! Back home in Ghana, there isn't anything like drug screens too..I only did a background check (where they did a criminal background check) because the company I was working for had it's headquarters here in the US and since I was working in both Ghana and here, I went through their background check process. But yeah almost every company here runs a criminal background check and also checks for drugs lol.

I am starting Monday (04/14/2014) even though I got the offer just today so no time to relax lol. They have been needing a developer for a long time for the position I am going to fill. I have been to the firm on 4 occasions and they seem to have a very relaxed atmosphere there. Everyone I talked to there (about 7 people in all - from an IT manager through to an HR person and the VP of finance) told me about how they pride themselves in being very flexible (hopefully it's true lol). Overall, I like what I have seen so far. As of now, I am more interested in the compensation package though..which is quite good so I was surprised they were struggling to find someone to fill the position.

I hope you enjoy where you will be working at too. This 2 months have been full of good news and I pray it continues like that for every member of this group. Your card will be mailed soon though. usually you should get it in 2 days after it is mailed. And apply for social security ASAP. I did mine same day and got it in a week (YES 7 days!). God bless us all!

Awesome! congrats.....i am so happy for you...!!

Thanks CJC. You can't imagine my joy here. My wife is throwing a party for me smh lol. Wished I could have everyone in this group there. God bless us all!

Thanks R&I Journey. I remember when everything was so slow and we had no idea when what was going to happen. It's good to know things are running quite smoothly for everyone. I am also very excited for you regarding your husbands EAD. Do you have a date yet for the interview? I don't have one yet and the processing timeline showed that on February 28th Portland was now scheduling interviews for applications filed on October 28th. So I'm guessing if they used the entire March to schedule November filers and this month for December filers, then I should expect an interview somewhere next month. Hopefully I get a date before the end of this month lol.
