Don't know if i'll call as yet. Nvc can be depressing at times. If i see anyone from fb1 or f2b get any date i'll give it a try. Hope you'll get your cc before they start giving out dates.

Hi Guys,

 

I have been away for a minute trying to get my life in order here in the US.  After going through my long 7 years journey to get my GC, I must say the journey continues. This month will make eight months since I relocated to the US.  I must be honest, the journey has been rough at times but thank God for family support out here other wise it would be a lot worst.  Even though I came here with my MBA that I received in my country...it has been hard landing a job.  I have sent out over 600 applications and I'm still awaiting an opportunity.

 

With the support of my family, I will not lose hope but my advice is to ensure that when you arrive here in the US that you bring sufficient money that will last for 6-8 months while you job hunt.  The cost of living is high in some parts of the US...especially in the big cities.  Even with my MBA, I am realizing now that I will have to go back to school to get some sort of US certification so that I can increase my chances in the employment pool.

 

I hope this information will serve as preparation material. My intention is not to discourage anyone because plenty of opportunities are here...but a person must be persistent and also willing to start from the bottom and rebuild, 

I concur, i just got here but i realize that my Jamaican degree doesnt carry any weight someone advised me to get it evaluated to US credentials so i did just that, im hoping it will make a difference.
