Might be gone again

So as you have noticed, my last post was almost about three weeks ago. Why did I not update my blog about anything since?

It turns out a graduate degree is not enough qualification for me to apply for a permanent residency (a.k.a green card) through work. Due to the pathetic economy, there might be a lot of unemployed, over qualified people in Finance that also do IT stuff want my job if there are any postings.

So from the advice of our immigration attorney, I registered for Series 65 (a.k.a Uniform Investment Advisor Law Exam) to at least have one more qualification just to be safe.
Studied in less than 3 weeks, I took the test this evening.

I failed miserably. Not even close.

I think I bought an over simplified reference for the test. So if you are about to take the exam and also did your reference search on Amazon, you know what NOT to buy.

So now I have to re-schedule to take the test again in the next 30 days before I run out of time for my green card process. Other than that, I have two more classes (Mon~Thu 6~8:30pm) I need to conclude my graduate studies. Well into the end of the beginning of the semester, I am hating one of the classes already!

What a nice way to welcome my summer!

*So the bottom line is that while I still have quite some pictures updates dated back into March, you most likely won't hear from me again till 30 days later to either bitch about the exam or share with you my joy of passing the test. This summer suck.

Tough luck with the exam, though I think you are going about the whole green card thing the hard way. Go find yourself an Chinese-American wife and you will be all set.

I think I'm a bit too late in that approach :P
