The longer it takes to happen the more you'll appreciate it when it does!

Legally the stamp in your passport (if you came on a marriage/CR1 visa) is enough to work. Also you can begin work with a letter from the social security office saying that your card is in process/production. The problem is that most employers do not know this and do not believe or accept it. There isn't a lot that can be done for the green card, but you can visit your local social security office and apply for the card. Be sure to take your passport with you and translated birth certificate as well as marriage certificate. Although the card is supposed to come (if you checked that box on the forms while going through immigration) it often doesn't come. That was the case with my husband. We went to our local office and 6 days later, he had his social security card in hand. It would be easier to attempt to start working with the social security in hand and the stamp in your passport.

As far as finding a job - you could try looking online, try going to local unemployment offices, find your local mosque and talk to fellow Muslims about work opportunities, have your wife ask around in her circle of friends and family to see if they know of anything or anyone who is hiring, and create a resume to post on several job search websites.

You could again try the mosque or local Islamic community center to meet fellow Arabs and Tunisians.

There is also a group on facebook called " Tunisians in the USA" They are a great group of guys and gals who network (may have work information for you) and you can ask there about local Tunisians in your area. https://www.facebook.com/groups/4080148739/

There are also employees of the Tunisian embassy that use the group and they may be able to help you in the future.

When my husband first arrived here there weren't any employers who would consider him until he had the green card and a social security card. It was also very hard for him to find a job until he had a driver license. Most every job required a driver license even if the job did not involve driving. Be sure to register at your local employment agency and check their online listings every day. Their website should have tools to help you build a resume. Also check the help wanted ads in the newspaper daily. There are usually many jobs listed there that will not be listed at the employment agency. Good luck in your job search!! :)
