@Sweet V, thanks for sharing I thought I was the only one struggling with the transition. I relocated from my country with a bachelor in education, a literacy specialist and years of experience and im stilI struggling to find a job in my field. Having gotten numerous promises from persons in the field ( oh how selfish and self centered we can be ) I was encouraged by many that teachers are in demand in New York, but the process of getting your qualifications accredited here is like starting over. I'm working on doing so and in the process I did a course in a field I have no interest in; but had to just to earn. I'm so grateful for my family for holding me down....

I began doing a little networking with a few persons who have migrated as well and struggling. We  share info regarding work, school etc. 

To my vj family please plan ahead and have a goal in mind prior to your arrival. All the best going forward.

Thanks for sharing as well Petals.  I have had promises that to date have never materialized as well.  I believe eventually networking will pay off so that is a good strategy.

 

Let's keep pushing forward with a positive attitude and doors will open in due time...at least I am hoping for such.

Thank you guys for sharing your experience, I was wondering how is it. I'm also with MBA, planning my trip in September. I got advice from my family, not to rush hunting for a job, straight after the arrival. To adapt 1stly and then be flexible, not to stick on the same jobs, what you've been doing in your country. It's ok to start from the bottom even with MBA.

lol! Im new here...sorta! My PD is Dec 2010.... But they havent called me for my Interview Date, and they told me that they had  a long waiting list. So im guessing, this explains a lot....

 

Does this means I have to wait for like another 6 months till my PD is current?

My case has been closed since August 2016, but my priority date has been current since May 2017. So I was really hoping for my interview Date to be soon.... :(
