Thank you Mr consular officer for your mere recommendation,which embassy do you work for?as a matter of fact have never seen you in Nairobi us embassy,you talking of background ha!I presume you come from the same environment where Jesus Christ was brought up,,good for you,,but stop telling people if you step in Obamas land everything will be smooth like sand in the ocean,,,this not a small heaven where one is provided with luxurious life,intact you have to work extra harder to achieve your goals and the same case applies to any other place in the world,dv holders including myself should keep in mind that us government will never treat you special than others because you've worn greencard.I like sussie qqq,britsimon and other who don't misleed us.men take it easy.all the best my brother.acha xaxa nijinice
On a lighter note,to respond to your concern,I would give you personal scenarios where out of my Kenyan background and my new found place USA I have CUSTOMIZED or TAILOR MADE the system to work in my favor;This exactly what I meant,There is always a standard way of doing things:
Why is it always good to customize your Resume for a particular JOB,does that mean you have to lie?NO
America is a SYSTEM LED GOVERNMENT-No SHORTCUTS,NO BRIBES and every Law,Bylaw are followed to the letter.
However,sometimes the systems / decision makers have some allowance in determining your case depending on how you present yourself;
PERSONAL EXPEREINCE
1) I attended my Interview on
4th Nov 2014
2) I landed in America in
16 days later (21st Nov 2014)
3)
How I secured my first job 8 days after landing in USA & before receiving my Social Security;
I just followed my two friends who were invited for an interview (gatecrashed) and I humbly requested the HR to consider me.
The HR later told me He liked my Boldness and for that reason he reserved a slot for me until such time I present my SSN.
I received my social the same day and the following day I signed my Job offer and started working on
8th December 2014.
No recruiting agencies involved
4) After presenting their VALID KENYAN DRIVERS LICENSE almost all those I talked had to under go a mandatory Road TEST after passing their computer test.
This consequently delayed their acquisition of a drivers license to a period of 1-3 moths.
However, for my case after presetting my License I was Exempted the ROAD TEST and within 40 minutes I had my Unrestricted Drivers License.
5) 30 days after entering USA I bought a traded in car from a dealer (online) at only $ 1,500/= cash (They told me its a new year gift as well as $ 100 gift voucher.Amazing!!!
6) 60 days after entering USA January 21st 2015 I have secured my second job (well paying).
7) In Kenya my wife and I were on self employment and we worked a minimum of 12 hours a day each,Its not In America that I have woken from my slumber and realized I should be working as somebody earlier implied.I have existing projects in Kenya and am sure once my family joins me in February or early march 2015 I will be able to make some savings here as well as remit over $1,000/= each month @john kamau This is not rhetoric but a true testimony
