Monday thread

For us, we really wanted for Amed to be able to work right away, so we fixed it so he could go through NYC. It cost a little extra money, but it turned out to be well worth it. We were able to get him a job before his EAD expired.

This part has been debated a bit, but we made an infopass appointment with USCIS right before his EAD expired, and they told us he could continue to work until he got his permanent EAD, since we had already filed for AOS at that time. We got lucky with AOS, and there was only a 3 week period of time between when his EAD expired and his greencard was approved, but he was able to work consistently throughout.

If you know someone who will give him a job right away, then I'd say it's worth it. 2-3 months of continous work would more than pay for the fare difference, and it would give him something to do instead of sitting around by himself while you're at work.

However, if you think it might take him a while to find a job, and the flight would be a lot more expensive for him to go through NYC, I'd maybe reconsider. Also, be sure to check with people who have recently come through JFK to see if they're still getting the EADs upon entry.

Good luck!

Well it was great to see Hasan up and ready to go 45 min before he had to leave. He is very excited as he is starting his ESL class today. Next Monday will take the behind the wheel test and then the only thing left to do is get a job. I have a green well manicured lawn and he has fixed almost all of the stuff that needed repair in the home, it is nice having a man around the house. I forgot since it has been so may years and used to doing everything myself, it is so nice to be able to be the assistant.

Have a great Monday All!

Hi everyone. I'm tired this morning, and wish I could crawl back to bed! One of my bosses is on vacation this week, and another one might not be in today, so at least that's good news for a Monday.

My weekend was good, though. I've become obsessed with HGTV and all of those home decorating shows where they find antique wood furniture for like $3 at a yardsale and turn it into a masterpiece. This weekend, I went scouring flea markets and thrift stores, but surprisingly, did not find my diamond in the rough. Why do they make it look so easy??

Good luck to everyone on their upcoming interviews. I hope there will be a lot of congratulating on this board soon!

Ive been in the mood to go garage/yard-saleing, too hoping to find some stuff for the baby's room. But there are no mid-afternoon sales, and I cant seem to get away from the toilet until somewhere around 2pm, ARRRGGGHHHH. When will the 'nausea and bombing' ever end.

That makes me think.... Where do you find an ESL class? I tried the local library, and they directed me to the school district, and those people never responded to my queries. Anyone else in DFW have a clue?

Well I don't know about bombing but for me the nausea ended around the middle of the fourth month. Then intense hunger sets in.

I used to wear seabands on my wrist. They are used for people who have motion sickness but they worked somewhat for my morning sickness, though I had it all day...I would have LOVED to have only had it in the morning!!!

Also, I'd keep a bag of plain cheerios with me always. It was just enough to make the nausea go away for a bit and it's packed with vitamins so since I wasn't eating much else and couldn't take my prenatal pills it helped in that area too.

Yeah the cheerios were perfect 'cause they weren't too sweet and weren't too salty. Just right

Wait till your third trimester when you'll wanna crunch ice 24/7!!!!
