  1. If this immigration journey is causing you anxiety, raise your hand! *raises both hands*

  2. Got my first job in the US, starting tomorrow! Stressed out :)

  3. Things are settling down nicely here, I just need a job! Back home however, my mom has breast cancer :( She had surgery 2 days ago. I just can't afford visiting her right now and it's hard...

      Thanks for your support. The surgery went well, and the cancer hadn't spread at all. She's doing OK!

  4. got my US driver's license, got a new Job at Toyota Dealership as sales consultant, wow God is wonderful. Thank you Lord

  5. Green card received. See you in 2 years, USCIS!

  6. Received my driver license :) It gives me a nice feeling of belonging here in the US a little more! On the not so bright side, I've been suffering from anxiety as a result of my difficulties coping with the immigration process and adjustment... too much stress. I finally decided to see a doctor about it, appointment tomorrow.

      Well, the whole visa process stressed me out of my mind. Then arriving here, I had problems with social security, who wouldn't give me a number, then my green card arrived with a problem on it... I feel sooo vulnerable and I don't really find my place here, so it's causing overwhelming anxiety.

  9. Behind-the-wheel driving test tomorrow.... so nervous! I've had my (French) driver license for 13 years, but I wouldn't describe myself as a talented driver...

      Thanks guys, I PASSED!! :))

      The examiner wrote "very good job" on my exam sheet :D

      I made only 3 mistakes during the test, and the top limit is 15... all of my errors were doing California stops :P

      All in all, very easy, and the examiner was very nice, he was chitchatting during the whole test and it helped me relax. He also took me to my own neighborhood (he didn't know of course) so I knew all the intersections and speed limits very well!

  10. Hum, tuesday... what a wonderful day, feeling so happy that I'm gonna get my visa approved... thank you Lord for that faith

  11. A reminder for all of us: when in the US, an alien MUST have their documents showing legal status at ALL TIMES. We went through a border patrol checkpoint as we were driving on a freeway close to the Mexican border (but inside the US), and all non-US citizens where asked for their papers. I had my GC but our Italian friends only had their California ID and got into trouble. Always have your GC/passport with visa with you!

      The law says you must have it with you so I would always keep it if I were you.

      But if you live South close to the Mexican border, you REALLY need to have it because you might be stopped by CBP anythime on the freeway.

      Oui je l'ai eu comme ça moi, et heureusement vu que je m'étais plantée dans mon adresse, la carte n'arrivait pas... Enfin j'ai corrigé l'adresse, et reçu la nouvelle carte aujourd'hui !

  14. Passed the driver's license written test today (in CA)! I got a temporary license good for 60 days and I can drive on my own (because I got a French license)! Eventually will have to take the behind-the-wheels test, but for now, Pacific Beach, here I come!!

      Ah oui, et au fait, si tu as reçu la lettre qui dit 2 semaines, c'est que ton SSN t'a été attribué. Donc tu peux te rendre dans un bureau SSA pour qu'on te le donne (ils ne le donnent pas par téléphone), tu n'as pas besoin d'attendre la carte pour le connaître!

      Mais tu sais que la SS ne te donne pas accès à une couverture médicale ? Donc maintenant ou l'année prochaine, si tu te casses une jambe, c'est pour ta pomme, à moins que tu aies une assurance.

  19. GC is missing my fingerprint on the front...

      Not so well right now... since I arrived, everything has been a struggle. Nothing works as expected.

  20. According to the USPS tracking number USCIS gave me yesterday, my GC is out for delivery today! Fingers crossed!seems to be out for delivery

    1. Laure&Colin

      Laure&Colin

      No... honestly, I'm not gonna start looking until I get my SSN and can get my driving license. I know I'm allowed to work while waiting for the SSN (I have a letter from the SS office), but I doubt any employer will be interested in hiring an alien without an SSN...

      Non c'est pas normal pour moi... Mais après avoir été à l'USCIS je sais maintenant qu'ils se sont plantés en rentrant mes informations au POE, je retourne au CBP tout à l'heure pour essayer de leur faire corriger.... La galère n'est pas finie !!

  22. 18 days, no sign of my SS card... crossing all fingers and toes to receive this week, I really don't wanna go to an SS office!

      Laure&Colin

      Woohoo, getting the green card soon would be great!
