Hi!
I have been so blessed the past few days. I arrived here in the States safely, I just got married, and just today, I had my first job interview and was accepted!
Now...here's my issue...I didn't think I'd get a job right away. I just recently applied for my SSN, and I'm just going to apply for my EAD...my work starts next Monday. Can I go ahead and work? It's just that this is such a big opportunity for me.
Thanks for the replies!

thank you!

hi!
i'm sure your fiance loves you. but loving you won't keep her from being anxious and worried about leaving what she grew up in and what she's been used to for her entire life. filipinos are used to having their family around all the time, watching their back...as well as friends they can call when they need them. we're used to going out on a whim, long drives, cheap beaches, cheap drinks. we're used to work that isn't so stressful. some are also used to the maids who cook and clean and wash the clothes. maybe that's what she meant about things that she's going to give up.
you just have to talk to her about it...that you understand--you have to understand. --what she's feeling. the important thing is that you are there to support her and you are there for her the way her family and friends have always been there for her. of course, tell her how you feel as well, that you're feeling paranoid so she can clear things up with you.
anyway...good luck!!! chat with her later!

oh wow!!! that is exactly how i feel! i would make him go to this website, because i've been telling him how much i learn from all of you, but he doesn't want to. but as of the moment, we're okay again. don't get me wrong, he does his part, all the time, and i know how much he wants me to be there. it's just that he's not as meticulous as i am.
aaaww...thanks. i am. i just hope we don't forget the reason why we are doing this.
