to all those who are having their interviews & visas this week. Omena and okechukwu, the only thing left for you guys to do is your presence at the embassy. Since the most high has done 99% of the interview for you all. This week is a prayer one because omena & okechukwu will be having successful interviews and stmykael and kyerewaa on the other hand, be collecting their visas in the mighty name of jesus peace! Benniit
My interview comes up this week,myself,my wife and a kid,pls remember to pray for me too.I just believe i will come back with testimony on this forum.
njugnuts, I will take my time to answer your questions. First of all, I'm not working at the moment - and there are various reasons for that. I moved to the US with all my family (5 in all) and we have to stay with a family member. Our host has been here (US) for some few months, and lacks TV, the Internet, and home phone. We were limited in our contacts outside. We also live in a place where there are no bus plying that area. We couldn't go out as we wish, and checking on jobs was out the question because of our lack of internet. At the same time, I was trying to sort out some domestic issues back home, as well as trying to get our own apartment (the apartment was empty, so I have to buy everything - from cooking wares to furniture), getting my children into schools, getting a car on my own (dealing with buying, registration and other things), sorting out my driving license, among other things. Due to these, my first job application was submitted only last week. So at the moment, I can't say it's easy neither difficult for me in finding a job.Hi,
I'm Kenyan and regularly follow up this thread since no Kenyan has had an interview yet. Congrats to all those on this thread who have had their interviews.
My question goes out to those who have had already moved to the States e.g Alexee and Ammeck.
1. How hard have you found it to get a job? Especially Ammeck who I know has a Masters degree and has been in the UK for a while. How are you going about looking for a job and what challenges have you found so far?
It depends on a number of factors; whether your family is moving with you, your host is ready to let you stay for some months and ready to pay the bills/rent himself, your host lifestyle, etc. Basically, I don't think it will be prudent to quote any fixed figure/amount that will last you in a month. So my only advise is to try and prepare well in terms of finance, so as to avoid the situation whereby you have to depend on some people for your living. To live in your own apartment, even if it's one bedroom - you should budget for between $800-$1000. If the area you're going to stay have a good bus service, you can buy a monthly ticket for about $100. In fact, it's very difficult listing items here one-by-one and costing it. This is my take on your questions2. Assuming that one is not able to get a job for a couple of months, can you give an estimate in USD per person (so it can be easier applicable across the board) that one should prepare to have so as to be able to meet their needs e.g housing, transport etc.
It'd be nice to get this information so we can plan our move.
