myip,
Sorry that I type in English as I am in office without chinese software.
Well, if you come to NYC, for finance field, it is a disaster.
It really depends on how talent you are.
Also, you need to find out if your license from HK can be accreditated in US.
Talk to your sister again, or she has to find a lawyer, Wang Wei (the Chinese immigration law of attorney, she is very good with that). you may need your sister to go and ask for her help.
Wang Wei has office in Brooklyn and Manhattan as well.
Well, I am working for a Jewish company, and in 2 years, I am working from a regular nurse and become a manager for our Asian department. Bosses are looking into your performance, not your races, although, some do make you feel bad.. like my previous boss.. well.. she let me go, I can find a better job. If I did not resign, I will still be an in charge in that hispanic hospital... now I can take care of my Chinese community.
It is a chance to try....
we all here, come to US, not because of us. We came here because of our children.

Hi Nillie Mami,

真係非常......多謝你，又快又清楚，Millions thanks......

唉！我家姐雖然過左美國十幾廿年，由少女變中女，但佢d 十三點性格始終如一！我問佢有關移民及亞囡到美國讀書學校的事情，見佢O哂嘴，就知道死啦！好彩有 ...

Hi bunnymonkey & Nillie Mami,

英文好ｏｋ呀！雖然我打中文打得超慢，但中文講心事始終都比較有親切感呢＾＾

Nillie Mami 你講出我心地話 "we all here, come to US, not becuse of us. we came here because of our children"！

我ｄ同事朋友甚至家人個個都唔讚成我移民，佢地話唔知我為乜，要放棄香港份穩定收入，又要同個老公分開，去到美國就只係得家姐一個！

唉！咪就係 becuase of our children，我明白讀書真係要睇個小朋友自己有無心去讀，但當做mami 既，見到亞囡日日讀書讀到半夜，又見到佢地倆父女日日為讀書嘈（因為我地倆公婆都係緊張大師）更知道職場好現實，以家係香港interview 好多時第一句開場白就問你係邊到讀書，讀邊間學校，香港大學都叫做第一學府啦！但我老闆一見係香港學生就放埋一邊，你都咪話唔心寒！

而我係香港係做開 securities brokerage，香港 stock market's practice同美國分別都好大，我都唔寄望要搵番類似的工作，可以既話就搵份 temp 做下，因為初初過來都想用多ｄ時間同亞囡適應下新生活！

我既 big problem 就係亞囡搵學校，以家正在做 research，本來我只係集中留意 boarding 及 private，驚 public school 會好雜，但亞囡有個同學仔，今年剛剛過左去美國讀（一個人住親戚家），同亞囡Easter garthering 過，佢同亞囡講都好OK喎－－Stuyvesant High School，於是我上網search下見都係New York，各位知道ｄ資料既話，請comment下？

因為都唔知美國的 private 和 public high school 的校風會唔會有好大差別呢？真係要請教各位，有勞大家比ｄ意見，先謝謝！

best,
myip

Stuyvesant High School is the top 3 gifted high school, sure is the best option, but your daughter can not just go and ask them to accept you, you need to bring her to enterance exam, if her score is good, then she will gain a sit.
In Brooklyn, 3 gifted High schools .
In NY city wide, 3 gifted and talent schools in Manhattan only, all of these, students need to pass the gift and talented exam.

My daughter is in Nest +M (one of the citywide gifted school in mahattan), they have exam for children as young as 4 years old. That was what they find our Amanda is a gifted.

For private school sure be better, because you have to pay. so, they mostly serve people at middle class.

For public school really depends on the area... like Public school at bay side.. when you check with the price of the house.. then, you will know..

Gifted and Talented school info from dept of edu, nyc.

但係我想問要坐幾耐移民監???
5年
即係我搞完hk d 野,,飛到過去要等幾耐先拎綠卡???
usually about 6-9 weeks time
拎左綠卡後係唔係可以返返黎hk ??
yup, greencard is a visa, good for 1 years travel.
but if you wanna apply for citizenship, then you should limit it as 5 months 29 days per travel
係唔係唔駛連續住幾年先得???
you must live in US for more than 2.5 years in that 5 years of time while you hold your greencard, you can simply read the message below, which I have explained very clear as well.

咁要點樣先拎到美國身份證,,真正可以回留返hk呢????
we don't have 美國身份證 here, we have social security card, driver license, US passport, greencard. All of these are the ID you can use.
if you are not ready to come to US, you can tell your parents about it. However, you gonna wait at least 5-8 years if you gave up your chance right now.
Or, wait until you have your citizenship (5 years of stay). get your US passport and naturalization, then you can go back to hk as you US citizen.

For SSC. once you receive your greencard (which takes about 6-9 weeks, sometimes longer), then you will need to bring your greencard and your HK passport with you, and go to Social security dept office and apply for your SSN.
For Driver license, you need to have enough credit, you need to have 2 ID, bank account and credit card (in general case) in order to get it.
For greencard, you will receive it in 6-9 weeks, which is normal.
For US passport, you need to fulfill all other requirement and live in US more than 2.5 years of your 5 years of stay.. then you will file N-400 to apply for naturalization.

It is not the time to focus on it.
Right now, just have all your documents ready and pass the interview, if you couldn't pass the interview, you couldn't come with your family. that will be much more difficult when you wanna come to US.
Did you do your police check and body check yet? have you ever live oversea more than 6 months? if you left HK more than 6 months in a roll, you need to prepare another police check from that country.
Good luck!

c1997,
even you don't have job, and you don't have W2 (the 工作報稅表), you still have money to make your life. no matter what, correct?
for your niece whom is your dependent, you can receive a formal letter from your sister, and collect all those statement every month. That is your income as well.
Also, you sure have bank account with saving there. Every year, your bank will mail you a letter, and tell you about your investment/saving.. that letter is for tax file purpose.
You just need to go and find a CPA in China Town, and tell them about your situation.
If you don't file tax, you won't have your medicare when you turn 67 as you don't know you may find a job later. Even Cash job as delivery guy, they can file 1099 as they tax income form.
Go and talk to the CPA, is very important for you.
Bet my pardon, which state are you in now?
If you are in New York, let me know, I will try to help you to find a job in your professional field. ok?

真係話咁快就一年，我仲記得你之前留言話要揾工，而家揾工真係好難，你有冇去試吓揾temp, part-time？有時有D公司會請做得好嘅temp做長工架，不過我都有朋友俾老闆cut鐘，希望個市快D好番～
我都想轉工好耐，但都揾唔到好嘅，一路都係做緊而家果份，好在因為有人走，我一路都唔太擔心會被裁，人工每年加2、3個％，只係我而家一個人做3個人嘢，辛苦咗好多，有好多時因為打字太多又唔得閒起身take breaks，夜晚瞓果陣成個背部都痛，D同事都話係壓力問題

myip1995,
呢度讀書都有壓力架，我識有人話個女而家係K,讀到G1/G2就要開始補習，如果唔係就追唔上，因為學校俾好多功課，小朋友如果唔勤力d,會升唔到好學校，但我認為咁細個就要逼佢讀者，幾時逼到大，咁仲慘過我自己讀~我以前係鍾意讀書嘅人，會自動自覺讀書又唔駛死讀已經記得，我估係因為我d老師教得好，幫我揾到適合我讀書嘅方法～而家我希望我可以幫我小朋友揾到適合佢地嘅方法，令佢地鍾意讀書，enjoy the experience, 而唔係要死讀
我住呢度有要人死讀書嘅公校，有好free嘅私校，選邊間學校真係要睇學校教學方法適唔適合，唔一定私校就好公校就差，只係普遍公校冇咁嚴，私校多數有多d rules & disciplines
我都係做同證券投資有關嘅公司，我好肯定，如果你要入行，一定要再考試攞呢邊嘅牌，但一般都要有公司sponsorship，如果唔係冇人hold你個牌，因為改例同金融風暴，而家難考好多，再加上d公司sales行先，你冇數交就要走，supporting嘅位都買少見少，不過如果你只係想做part-time or temp,都應該會搵到,只係人工冇咁好,時間冇咁flexible

Wing105,
What kind of visa your friend is holding right now? so, you are saying that your friend's boy friend is citizen, am I right?
ask your friend to go and sign the marriage certificate. (stay away from L.V.) if she wanna stay in US for good. Immigration officer usually doesn't like people get married in L.V.
Then, with they marriage cert. ask your friend's husband(to be) to submit the I-130, 485, 765. all at the same time. They can get all those forms online.
Then, wait for USCIS to send them letter to confirm information, send them recipt.. it won't take too long.. usually about 6months to 1 years for interview and finger print.
Good luck

618844,
Tell the truth.. 等!
因為要佢哋再send 你個package back to 香港美國註港領事館, later, 你會收信, 叫你prepare 所有正本document *remember to make copy* 有時佢要收起做evidence. 有冇喺HK以外地方住多過6個月?? you need to prepare that police check as well. 你係咪香港出世? if not, 仲要提供有關info嘅英文譯本呢. the proof of your relationship with the applicant?
你結婚未?有冇小朋友?....there are tones of questions..
我巳盡人事, 估你嘅situation, as information is none.. I really couldn't tell, until you can provide all information...
Well, hope the information above.. at least to give you some hints.
You gonna wait for them to call you to make appointment for body check.
You don't need to get stress.. just follow the instruction on the letter (you will get it soon).
This period, should enjoy with your friends and family in HK.. take more pictures, dine out.
start to prepare when you receive letter from USCIS.
Congratulation!
