Hi Letina

Are you going to the US on your own or with family? How do you feel now that the time has finally come?

Hi Letina

Are you going to the US on your own or with family? How do you feel now that the time has finally come?

Just me and hubby.....hey, I see you're from Lancashire. My niece works at Royal Preston Hospital, she's going to the US also, she just got her I-140 approval.

How do I feel? .....excited, nervous, a bit sad about leaving certain people. But I'm sure I'll cope

Tina

Has your husband got to find a job when he gets there?

I'm going with my husband, 17yr old son and daughter who is 20, but she will be returning later to finish her degree, she has one more year to do.

Has your husband got to find a job when he gets there?

Yes, but with green card in hand, hopefully won't be too difficult as he's pretty much prepared to have a go at anything

Where do you work here whilst waiting for immigration? And what attracted you to Connecticut? Are you with an agency or going it alone?

Hate to p*** on your chips, it is easy to get a job out here but the wages they pay are poor. When we first came over my husband got a job with Blockbusters $6.50 per hour!!!! My friends husband is working for Home Depot $11 per hour and he is a skilled tradesmen. My other firends husband has never had a job in 2 years because the wages are so poor.

blimey kay the bad luck just goes on poor you! i think anthem must have a hex on it

my husband has a job offer from a large multi national company based in AZ, on a new contract in Casa Grande

wages are $22 an hour, which i didnt think was bad for a starting salary, they will train him 'the american way' then after that he should get a pay rise.

if you look on the internet there are plenty of jobs about monster and salary.com are good places to start, my husaband emailed his resume to the recruiter on his company, and within 2 hours they were on the telephone interviewing him.

the problem with being a tradesman in the uk is that the usa dont always recognise our qualifications which can make things more complicated.

just stick at it- he will find something probably before he leaves if they know he is coming on a green card especially as you have so many friends on the Fl forum!

Working in a hospice. Originally wanted to go to florida but I was offered an interview for CT and decided to go for it, not with OGP by the way. My hubby is prepared to do anything also, but I'm feeling a bit nervous at the minute and wondering if we're doing the right thing - but wanted it for so long. I suppose that's natural.
