    Alondino got a reaction from Paul and Sopheap in Wait time after nvc approves case and sets interview date?   
    Thank you!! We sent in all of our official documents on august 4th, all should work out with that I’m thinking. I make enough money to support us on the affidavit of support part and we turned in everything else paper wise that was asked accurately.
     
     I was under the impression that they tell you the documents are accepted and give you the interview date at the same time? Or if you get an email with the interview date I would assume that all of the documents were accepted and fine? I thought it would only be prolonged if they needed more evidence from your official documents. I hope that it won’t be more months or up to a year waiting that would really suck!

    My wife knew a little English when she arrive. Not much at all. She started a school where she went to class twice a week in the evenings. Her first job was in a Spanish restaurant. It was in a part of town where the population was mostly Latin.
     
    Because of the language, you husband will be extremely limited on employment. He may only be able to find jobs where little to no interaction with customers. Or he will need to find something in an area where the population is Spanish speaking. But the first thing he should do is learn English and use it as much as possible. The teacher at the school my wife went to told everyone that they had to stop watching Spanish speaking shows if they want to learn faster. Obviously that was difficult for my wife but she managed. She can speak good English now and she has a good job working for the county. 
     
    It may take some time before he finds a job of significant income but every little bit helps. You already know that in America they want work experience also so he will need to build that up. But his number one resource will be networking. Even before the Covid19 my wife got calls from other Dominicans or Latinas asking if she wants to work somewhere. Help your husband find other Latinas in your area so he can build a network and he will be able to find good jobs soon after. Fortunately, Texas has a large Spanish speaking population.
     
    But there is a huge caveat to all of this. As of now there is almost no employment opportunities. Unemployment is about to reach the highest it has ever been in the history of the US. Your husband will be at a huge disadvantage looking for employment now and the recent future. Even when the country opens back up, there will be millions of Americans seeking to return to work. That will make your husband's competition 10 fold. So be aware of this and be sure he understands this. He will not be able to even apply for unemployment because he has never worked in the US. It will be a trying time for all.

    Hello everyone- still trying to perfect my petition here. So my fiance from Dominican republic, he has a very young son. The son stays with his mother and will not be coming to the US with his father. Should I still include him on our petition? Or not because he will not be coming? Thanks in advance!
