精华 渥村居民赴美工作指南

Looking for suggestions

Does the Border official require check on the job offer to you? Should the Letter addressed to the Border office be enough?

Second one is: If you have BSc, MSc, and even PhD in a field obtained all in a foreign land, do you have to do the degree evaluation for all or just the highest degree (IE, PhD)?

I urgently look for the suggestions for both of these. Thanks very much for your hint!

What's the Security Clearance? and how to get the Clearance qualification for the job in US?

根据目前的行情,非美国公民几乎不可能取得美国政府的security clearance.

Don't even think of it.

Do evaluation for one of your degrees, the one matches the requirements.

加拿大公民以旅游目的进入美国不需要签证.接受工作面试不等于去工作,应该不需要入境签证.

听过来人说，在申请TN Visa的时候就可以申请SSN，不然要等好久。

SSN海关不可以办理．如果想拿到签证后立即申请，有关文件必须递交SSA Ogdensburg local office．

我是上班之后一个星期才去申请的，七天后就拿到了SSN，等待时间不象传说中的那么长，从法律上说非法工作了两个星期．具体情况可能因人而异．

不是在海关，是离海关很近的那个SSN Office，就是校长link里那个。
俺家领导的SSN花了一个多月，影响了办银行开户，申请信用卡等等许多问题。

Don't bother applying credit card in US if you are not green card holder. Americans are getting absurd in recent years.

Oh he transferred his Amex credit history to US and got his first US credit card. Also many US banking cards can be used as credit cards, only they are not real credit cards. :smokin:

 

[胡说之]

Ya, just got my Amex blue.

Amex provides special program for Canadians in US. My 1st application was refused for the reason of "not enough credit score", in fact, it's the call center lady sent my application to the wrong category, although I claimed myself as existing customer and provided my card # in Canada. I called the service number again, re-direct my application, faxed my bank statement as prove of current address, then got the card in a week.

Three more question for 校长&渐渐:
1)Should I change my dirve license(G2) in US after I arrive there?
2)My Drive license will expire in the end of 2005, should I come back to take G2 exit test?
3)How can I can to rent a car in US? currently I only have canada credit card.
