“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11: 22 onwards. The VISA Is yours go pick it!!!

Hey thankyou all for for the great answers pertaining my questions, but if i may ask it will take like 3 months to get the physical green card, does this means that i wont be able to get a gainful employment as i wait for this.
Am saying this coz am in it Technical field and we our certs are global , i send my CV at monster.com and have already got several job offers (3) including a call from Atlanta, asking when am available for immediate job offer..
i thought having a SSN should be enough + your passport
Wow Paps, thats great. I was told you do get some kind of temporary document while the GC is under process. Its amazing that you are getting offers already. My host gave us that same address and told us to apply and put his US address; if they called he would tell them we are yet to arrive. Lol. In my opinion, its only fair to yourself and the possible employer to do this if you have say a month to relocate. You don't want to keep people waiting for six months. But still am happy for you man. An offer in your line of work even before you have traveled is a real dream.

You will only be allowed to get in thru the first gate 30 mins prior to your interview time, so make sure to b there @ 6.00am. All the best
Indeed, we need lots of prayers.
Well, the fact of the matter is there are no guarantees in life. yes, it's possible to continue along your current line of employment, but it's most likely not going to be automatic. It may take a while to get back along that line, you may have to apply your current skills to some other form of employment if you do not wish to become a burden/charge on your hosts.
If you're in the nursing profession and are desirous of continuing along that line, you will no doubt have to enroll an in academic institution to ensure that your training is at par within that profession, and yes, you will pay tuition and other fees for that. (Only Elementary, Junior High and High Schools are tuition free). You will not likely get employed as a nurse based on your current education and experience. Doctors and a couple of other professions go through the same process, I believe.
Doing odd jobs in order to make ends meet while trying to re-establish yourself is not a bad way to start in my opinion. (Again, this is my personal opinion). Oh yes, I flipped burgerswhen I initially moved to Europe to get started. I also worked as a Telemarketer when I first arrived in North America. I hated both jobs with a passion, but they paid my bills and enabled me to get started. They enabled me to independently establish myself (I didn't have any host family/friends to stay with). I know of an engineer that worked as a discount stores sales person (don't be deceived by the fancy title, it was a door to door sales job
Thanks for the info. Kindly highlight the issue of public schools vizaviz the area in which you live. Am told that if you live in some area, you have to go to the school in that area and not any other.

Congrats on those job offers. I hope one of them does pan out for you.
No, it shouldn't take up to 3 months before you receive the physical GC in the mail. Most people have received this within a month of arrival.
You will most likely receive the physical GC before the SSN
Notice I qualified the above earlier response with the word "Technically"? Meaning, there could be sometimes be exceptions.
Once you arrive, you can visit the nearest SSN office with your international passport (which should have some sort of stamp indicating your new status, I guess), and any other document given at the POE, and apply for the SSN. Prospective employers are required to E-Verify all potential employees to guard against their employing illegal immigrants, and a SSN is needed in order to do this. But once you're in the system, your potential employer may be able to verify your status.
After your arrival, if an offer is confirmed before you get your SSN, explain to your potential employer about your status and the steps you've taken. Most employers are quite accommodating and will be willing to work out something mutually beneficial to both parties.

Good question man. We'll appreciate details on hotels/lodging as some of us reside outside Kenya. We need to know what you would recommend, prices etc
