Default i have my green card, just need the greenlight!

I'm just looking for some reassurance...I'm 23, I will be moving out to Florida (my parents emmigrated to Stuart in June 2008, we've been going to the area as a family for as long as I can remember.) once my horse is sold and things are completely wound up over here. I have a degree and an interest in marketing and PR. I want to make the break from my parents (i've always been quite independant but a bit of a homebird). I know I don't want to end up living with my parents in Stuart, i'm still not quite sure where I do want to be though. I really love music anything from electro to Britpop so to find somewhere with decent venues would be good.

Any recommendations/advice for me? I'm wibbling quite a lot at the moment at the thought of leaving behind my little life here, although, that said, I am more excited and curious at the prospect of starting afresh with lots of new opportunities...

I guess I just know how hard won that little card was and I want to make every single second count

Marketing and PR is taking a hit right now, but there's a few jobs going in that area in Boston, also NY...

Also note, marketing and PR also falls under door to door sales over here too, so double check what the job is actually about from the advert

Are you saying you got an immigrant visa alongside your parents? If so, how long have you stayed outside the United States and did you apply for a re-entry permit?
