Same here. I entered the US last Sept and got my EAD and greedcard late February. I just started working with Bank of America as a Sales and Service Specialist. Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) really matters. Good luck! :-)

Thank you moosker. I am already working at Bank of America as a sales and service specialist. Its a long process but its worth the wait. :-)

Thanks a lot. :-)

you can travel in all the 50 states of the United States but you cannot go outside the country.

congrats to everyone! I finally got a full time job and a part time job. Thank God. My advice is just to be very persisten on your job search.

congrats everyone! :-)

you still have to fill for AOS and EAD for your fiancee to start working. it will take you 2 to 4 months on the average to get the approval. :-)

we are going to Vermont this month to ski..:-) im from Manchester,NH..i got here on a K1 visa

Hi I just arrived in the US a month ago. I'm on IR-1 visa and I just received my greencard and now i'm trying to find a job. How long were you able to find a job since you arrived here? and does it work to just send applications online? thanks

Hi. Sending online appications works. Just make sure that you have an american standard resume. Try to look for entry level jobs first then go from there. It also helps if you can communicate very well. Go to company websites and look for open positions on their career section. Also try to go indeed.com, snagajob.com, careerbuilder.com. Volunteering is also big help for, based on my experience.Its a way for me to network to people. :-)

I dont think its a good idea to send those receipts together with other evidence of genuine relationship for your K1 visa application. USCIS might think of it as a red flag.

Received my Permanent Resident Card in the mail today. Done with the USCIS for at least the next one year and some months. Now job hunting, any ideas on where to look for jobs? I wish the rest of us all the best in their journey.

try indeed.com. that site is very helpful for me. i would suggest that you apply to entry level job first if you dont have any US work experience yet and go from there. good luck. :-)

you'll be fine..have a safe trip :-)

Thank you for your reply joyjoy..:-)

Received my EAD card today! So freaking happy, I'm going to the DMV tomorrow to get that California driver's license I've so desperately wanted

So relieved that I can now start work and that I'll be able to drive

To those still waiting, hang on! It's frustrating but you'll get there eventually!

were you able to find a job already? how did it goes? :-)

Congrats...but when did you file? was your case transfered to CSC? If yes, when? and last, but not least...

case was transferred to csc last dec 18

Congrats

Was your case transferred to CSC?

yes, it was. i even thought before that there would be a delay on the approval since i had my biometrics twice. but yeah..USCIS is pretty quick right now.

just received a text from USCIS. our AOS was approved without interview, card production ordered. a great news for us! :-) now, its time to look for a job.

Hi everyone. Anyone here who applied at the Bank of America? Pls share us your experiences specially with their background check procedures? How they go about it in our case as immigrants? I believe they really make a very thorough background checks with your employment and education references. As immigrants here in the US, all our experiences are foreign. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.:-)

Yes, you need to go to a civil surgeon to have your vaccination from St. Lukes be transcribed and have it transferred to your I-694.

got an update last month that our case was transferred to CSC. had biometrics last Dec 13, my second biometric last night. EAD card production ordered today. thank God

got a message from USCIS today at 2am! EAD card production ordered! Yehey! Good luck everyone seems like approvals are coming in.:-)

Any November filer here who already have their EAD or AP approved?

let's all pray for EAD/AP approvals this week..:-)

I have fallen in love with the New England area, we have just been to Boston & Maine for Christmas and trying to convince my husband to move to Portsmouth, NH. We are in long Island NY right now and would love to now how it's like living in NH, how much is a 4 bedroom or 3 bedroom house, school districts and the cost of living.

Thanks in advance for the info.

hey com'on an golf with us this summer. :-) regarding the houses here,i dont have any idea how much it cost..cost of living is fair enough..there's a lot of good schools and universities here in New England..we have Darthmouth in New Hamsphire and Harvard in Mass..

Hi there :-)

I'm from Northwood..I arrived here last dec. 30, 2010..I didnt meet any filipino/filipina here yet. Hope we can be friends ... or maybe we can chat

hello there. welcome to the US. how was your trip? where are you exactly? i am located in manchester,nh.

Hi there Don and Grace. Yep, you can still get your SSN 14 days before your I-94 expires. But you are right, you cant work without it together with your EAD or your green card. By the way, you look familiar to me. I think we had our medical at St. Lukes on the same day, August 18 and 19 last year. Are you from Cebu too?
