Electrician in USA

I have met an american who has married two foriegn women for cash.

so the general immigration rule of thumb for getting permission to work is about two years unless you enter the country already past that mark and than you can get set in about 4-6 months.

All that is is total nonsense

From the day you marry an american you will be waiting for permission to work.

First it will be just a process of going to immigration and presenting your marriage papers etc.

Than once you apply for your social security card it can take anywhere from eight months to a year and that application is done after your first step with immigration.

So, either plan on going to school as a foriegn student if you can but you will spend a lot of time in the USA waiting for a social security number. And they don't give those out instantly because of the instances of fake marriages.

So with the immigration process and waiting for your permisison to work which will be your social security number. You will definately be not able to work minimally one year and often times two years.

I mean I wish I could tell you differently. And you will not be able to be an electrician once you finally get your social security number unless you get
a USA lisence.

New Zealanders story

I used to hate anybody who told me of the realities of living in France, shoot the messanger kinda thing. I just put my kid in his bed and he seems to be falling asleep. I was thinking about your common common immigration situation. As the USA has over 1 million immigrants a year. Lots of them.

I watched a friend from New Zealand go from point A to point B in the immigration process. I will describe it a bit. She wanted to work in the USA WORK not retire. So she decided the best way was to marry an American. She found a guy online and came to New Mexico USA.

I watched their courthouse marriage and their gentle holding hands for immigration. The woman from New Zealand with her new husband put up with him and all these hoops to jump and waited for her paperwork to process in immigration drinking cheap coffee while she lived off credit cards and a few dollar from her new husband.

Finally after a year she was able to convince immigration it was a real marriage after a lot of abuse by her new husband as she earned no money had a lot of control of her. She finally was able to apply for her social security number. She had been in the trucking business in New Zealand and a very capable and pretty girl with tight brown curls and just pretty.

So after 18 months her social security number finally came. She took off in her car and was never seen again by that internet guy. Immigration doesn't care about you after you get your green card and social security number. You are in the system and finished. But it took 18 months and she told me that she had friends that took two years. Hers was rushed because they could see the guy was a total idiot and she was cool. They rushed it for her.

So it depends on your local office government workers. so don't have any fantasies about the process involved. immigrating is hard.

and only usa lisences work. only usa.

I also have an American friend in England. So you tell me how long it takes from the time of a new marriage for a person to be employable in England? Is it instantaneous? So from you new marriage in the USA you better have saved some coffee money. And enough for more than a year or two of coffees.

Immigrating is tough but you can do it and marrying an american is a sure fire
way to eventually be able to work. being english speaking is a huge leg up.
so if you have a few years and lots of polite persistence in the system, you
shoud be fine.

sorry to be so harsh, i had to learn the hard way coming to france with stars in my eyes about immigrating at 40.

you can do it but the streets are not paved in gold in the usa, nor in france

I am a nurse from the USA in France. I WANT people to go to the USA. There is a lot of fantasy about the troubles of immigrating. Just stay in the reality of the situation.

There's a lot of fantasy in your posts! They are full of untruths, half truths, and ambiguity....yet you write with an authoritative style. At the moment I've decided to leave them with a public warning on them so that readers will realize there is no reality there.

There's never been much problem immigrating to the US if you're married to a USC. Despite your strange claims, it does not matter where you are married. Nor does it matter how long you have been married except that with an immigrant visa you will need to file to remove conditional status in the 90 day window before the second anniversary. Your claims about length of time to obtain work permission and time to
receive a social security card have no grounding in reality.
