Reply to Foreign degree for job search by brapman22
So I’m in a position that my friend married a Dutch man so I’ve had a little insight. One, it took literally forever for him to actually be granted his conditional green card and be able to work. There was a lot of dragging on the government’s end. I also don’t know what his degree is in, but it is actually useless here. He’s not able to work jobs he worked in the Netherlands in WA. I’d hazard that engineering would not have the same issues, but that’s been their experience.
Also, as a heads up, if you are getting married on a fiancé visa, the government is going to look for any reason to declare your marriage fraudulent. They went after my friends about 4 years in their marriage for not having a house or child, in Seattle. My friend had literally everything documented to prove otherwise, but the reasoning was if they didn’t have a child or a mortgage in a high cost of living area, then clearly this was a scam. Basically make sure everything is joint and your name is on everything. That was the only proof they had.

I don’t know if it’s a problem in eastern WA but in western WA I pay attention because wood poachers and some mushroom foragers will kill because of the money involved. An adult is less likely to run into animal issues, though cougars have killed people, but other people with guns are a concern.

Contact an employment lawyer. If you worked as agreed you’re owed. But you will need to pursue that legally. Also you can contact the department of labor. They get pretty pissed about these things.

That’s a rabbit standing. Right behind the rabbit is a tiny fox ear and that’s all you can see
