thanks a lot!

@SusieQQQ just wanted to let you know that in the end I was able to land a job in Florida while I was still in Europe. Actually I applied for several jobs from Europe and had all the interviews by phone. At the end a great company from Miami offered me a job as an IT Manager. Today I got two...

Hi everyone. I arrived last Sunday to the US and right on Monday morning I went to the SSA office and applied for a SSN. Today (Saturday) the card with the number arrived. On the envelope it says you can create an account at socialsecurity.gov so I tried it, however I got an error message...

Thank you for the information. I called the 1-800 number and after managing to get hold of a living person it was pretty simple from there on. I explained my situation and she did the rest. Everything should be fine now and the GC should arrive to my new address. Yes, you are right regarding...

Hi everybody. I arrived yesterday in the US and activated my DV. I flew into Newark, NJ. Once at the counter, the IO took my fingerprits and picture like always and then went with me to another room (Secondary I think). He gave the big envelope to an other IO and I waited for about 4-5...

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I am looking for a job in the IT field, so I am optimistic that it would actually work out.

I know that, but would it be ilegal to put that sentence on a resume??? I mean could I get intro trouble for that? The only reason for that sentence would be to show a potential employer that I don't need a h1b visa or visa sponsor. that's all.

Even though I think this might be (and probably is) the wrong thread, I'll ask anyway: I've got my visa this week. now I'm planing on applying for some jobs from over here (EU) in hope that I can land a job before I get to the US. Would it be OK if I write on my resume something like: Legal...

I see. Thanks for the info.

Hi. Yesterday I picked up my passport with the visa. There is one thing I noticed – on the visa it says: Nationality: AUST Could it be that AUST stands for Australia instead of Austria?

edit: a little less than 3 hours after my ceac status changed from "ready" to "administrative processing", it changed again to "issued" :) So I guess they should call me any minute to come and pick up my passport.

This morning, 4 days after my interview, my CEAC status changed from "ready" to "administrative processing". I hope this is nothing bad!?

I had my interview (successful) on Monday. When I log in to the ceac. website, my status is still on "ready", the only thing that changes is the status updated date. On Monday in was 18.05, and today it was changed to 20.05, but the status is still the same "ready". Is that normal? They said...

Hi! I had my interview today in Vienna. Everything went just fine. The consular officer asked a few questions (where are you planing to move, what do you do, why did you play in the dv lottery, congratulations). My status is still on "ready" just the update status is changed to May 18. They...

June numbers are extremely low, at least for Europe. Way lower than expected. awful!!!
