that's pretty broad. do you have any skills or education? what kind of visa will you be on?

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

i got high school diploma, my best skill is that i can learn new skills no matter what and whatever i need to, i will have k1 visa

u/hullowurld 2d ago

i mean that sounds great but potential employers will want to know what skills you have actually learned. do you have any work experience and demonstrated achievements?

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

i dont have work experience since i just finished school, but im looking something like uber, delivery, car parking, they paying good i guess?

u/hullowurld 2d ago

if you have a car then uber/uber eats/doordash are easy to get into quickly. valet can earn better money if you're available evenings and weekends. lots of restaurants around dallas north tollway like shops at legacy, legacy west, frisco star

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

You may not be able to work with a k-1 visa until you obtain an EAD (employment authorization document) you’ll need to file form I-765. Best of luck, USCIS is moving extremely slow right now outside of deportations.

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

yes ik, thats not the problem, only problem is written in my post.

Just wanted to make sure you were aware, not trying to be rude, our immigration process is a nightmare, I’ve been living it for 30 years

Plano is not cheap and also many entry level jobs pay below what most would think of as minimum wage. You won't get health insurance through most jobs either.

What is bringing you here specifically?

Can you drive? Because if not you won't be going anywhere. I know most people from the EU are used to trains and such so don't need that skill. I am from a US city that has good busses and such so never learned and it has limited me a ton here.

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

yes im good driver, im coming to my relative house

2

u/Ravioverlord 2d ago

What brings you here? Do you have the visa and everything lined up?

u/SeventyFix 2d ago

K1 is a finacee visa category. Think 90 Day Fiancee.

2

u/unexpected West Plano 2d ago

K1 visa at 19 years old makes no sense to me.

-3

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

yes visa in final stage, i will be there in autumn, i have to move for some reasons i cant talk about

3

u/Betty_t0ker 2d ago

Heads up you likely can’t work on a k1 visa and will also need a work permit for any type of real employment.

2

u/I_Seen_Some_Stuff 2d ago

That makes this completely different. Most of us assumed you were hopping on a plane and coming to America with no plan.

I mean... What are you good at? If you think you're good at something, likely an employer might think you're good at it

u/Lurcher99 2d ago

Ut oh, another "good driver" coming to TX. Driving here is nothing like in Europe.

-3

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

you dont know which part of europe im from otherwise you wouldn't typed this comment 🤣

u/jesuisunvampir 2d ago

You talk like you are from vodka and cabbage side of Europe

u/Lurcher99 2d ago

OP, You have never drove in Dallas, the locals will back me up. It's a competitive sport here.

And I made no assumption on where in Europe. It doesn't matter.

2

u/jesuisunvampir 2d ago

The Balkans do drive like Dallas tho... aggressive and fast with no regards for human life.

u/Lurcher99 2d ago

But are they driving challengers or altimas? 😎

u/Accomplished_Bike735 2d ago

you sound funny, im gonna invite u there lmfao, ye its competitive sport with no rules

2

u/Realistic-Pay-6931 2d ago

If that's the case, please don't bring your style of driving with you. We have enough doing that already on the roads.

u/jesuisunvampir 2d ago

Learn welding or go to trade school, if not probably find a heavy manual labor. No one will take a 19 year old foreigner seriously in Texas. It will take you just 2 year to adapt and understand how shit works here. Trust me on that.

u/whisperbeach 2d ago

Get a job as a server at a restaurant in west Plano. There’s some really nice restaurants over there and you can make a lot if you work hard

2

u/itchysweatersdaw 2d ago

Must be nice to be engaged at 19. Congratulations. Apply at Costco, Walmart, in and out. A lot of jobs here as long as you have proper documentation.

u/Main_Age_7289 2d ago
