Friends who are going through the same visa process
Since we started the visa journey, I have been hanging around one of the immigration and visa forums quite a bit. Though the forums, I learned more about the visa process and got to know some people who are going through the same process. No one understands the frustration of waiting and waiting better than people who are going through the same.
Most of us are petitioning or being petitioned for a spousal or fiance(e) visa. It’s quite ironic that fiance(e) who is not married yet can get a visa faster than spouse. But, fiance(e)’s visa doesn’t come with work authorization and they have to go through adjustment of status, which is a pain, dealing with USCIS again.
Many of them couldn’t work right after marriage as the work authorization and adjustment of status can take a while to process. A Brazilian woman I met on the forum, her paperwork has been pending and she has been waiting forever, she was bored to death at home. She decided to go to school just to kill time. She paid a few thousands to attend one of the beauty schools, learning the whole thing from shampoo to manicure, pedicure, cutting, coloring, chemicals, facials, etc. She is hoping once her paperwork gets approved, she can find a job immediately with her new qualification.
