Does my foreign wife need a green card to get a CDL and become employed ?

I got that for a bit when we lived in Arizona, "no trees-too much wind" went back to China, wound up getting a job offer that had me in Puerto Rico for 10 months, then East Tennessee, east of Knoxville. Wound up in St. Louis area, now all I hear from her is "I want to move back to Tennessee..." She went back to China for a few weeks in January, couldn't stand the pollution, was glad to be back to U.S. Still wants to go back to Tennessee though. Can't say as I blame her.

 

I came to the USA on a CR1 visa! You are right she will want to go home, homesickness is hard ,BUT a Couple of weeks back to the home country, once a year soon fixes that, I know!! And always look forward to getting back to the USA after I have had my couple of weeks "fix" back home!!!

 

Not all of us leave and go back home, and not all of us only come here to become a citizen. I am still here, and I am not a citizen either. Happy the way things are.

 

Good Luck, I hope you have a job to come back to, This moron in the white house is doing his level best to put us all on welfare. Its tough out there in the job market if you don't have any marketable skills and you better bloody well do a fantastic job of selling yourself in an interview to get a good job as there is alot of competition now... wish you and the wife the best!!

 

Been there done that, lived in China 8 years. Jobs here in U.S. are Medical field, IT, Truck driving decent paying, crappy retail. Notice I put truck driving in "decent paying" category. In comparison to a lot of jobs it still is decent paying after the first year. NO career will pay decent the first year. Most of the non-driving jobs I run across don't even pay what I made back in the mid 90's

 

I left east TN twice and always came back. Once you live here no other place feels like home.

 

Hear that, hoping to get back there in a couple years.

 

everyone is forgetting one thing .... he used the cdl for 6 months 10 years ago ... he has to go with a trainer himself since he been out of a truck for so long....
