  1. This is sad, but I noticed after few years of solid US work experience and strong references your background doesn't matter that much anymore. Have your fiance visit Finding work in US section on visa journey to prepare for work search. It's also a very good resource for immigrants waiting for EAD to exchange ideas, share success stories and to vent about looking for work.
  2. This is so true about sounding or presenting less foreign. Once I dropped my foreign degree from my resume I got a lot more calls from recruiters. Also, I think my foreign degree also aged me (think age discrimination). Once I left my US University only on the resume I got a lot more calls and invites for interviews. Sad, but true.
  3. If she entered before your two year anniversary as a married couple she will receive two year conditional LPR card.
  4. Moving to US first makes perfect sense. I imagine it would be he hard to figure things out for two newbies, unless you have family here that can help you in the beginning.
  5. I know someone with prior arrests who got quoted 5K from a lawyer just to take the case. This is in Fairfield County, CT. He didn't end up hiring a lawyer and got his Citizenship. We obtained all court and police records and truthfully answered all questions.
  6. Wow! No wait, this is interesting. I guess CA is a place to be for a new LPR. I am only familiar with CT rules. Sponsor income and asset deeming still applies even after 5 years for elderly LPR (not applicable for magi medical aka Obamacare). Unless the exceptions from affidavit of support occur (LPR becomes a US citizen, sponsor dies or LPR earns 40Q). I guess I shouldn't be surprised the politics of particular state play a big part in access to public assistance.
  7. Is medi cal better or easier to obtain for an elderly LPR? I am curious, because in CT even an elderly LPR will not qualify for Medicaid until after five years have passed as an LPR. Even after five years proof of sponsor income/assets is required in order to be considered for Medicaid (there are few exceptions to this requirement).
  8. Non issue. Undocumented people get married all the time.
  9. I did exactly that! Burned everything in the fireplace. It was indeed very satisfying 😂
  10. I would also include a letter from your father in law specifying the dates you both lived with him as a married couple. It's an affidavit from your first "landlord."
