@crazycells I am a 2020 green card winner. As a result of my appointment at the consulate in February 2020, me, my wife, my son and my daughter received our visa. My plan was to move to United States in March and have my family move in with me in June.
I bought a ticket to Tampa for March 16, 2020. In accordance with the presidential decree issued on March 13, 2020, I could not come to America from Europe because the entrances were closed due to Covid. I bought a flight ticket directly from Turkey to Miami on March 19, 2020. At that time, I was working in Antalya Municipality and I was resigned. My resignation date would be effective on April 4, 2020. I was going to take 3 weeks annual leave between March 16th and April 4th and not return to work. Since a decree issued in Turkey imposed a travel ban on public personnel, I could not get on the second flight.
I bought a new ticket to New York to make my first attempt on July 12, 2020. Due to Covid, the flight was canceled on the last day. On July 15, 2020, I could only come to New York by myself.
At the time I entered, there were approximately 6000 deaths each day in United States. That's why I didn't want to bring my 1 and 5 years old children to America. Besides, on these dates, ticket prices increased to $2500 for per person. So I came for 2 days to just to check in. I knew I couldn't move there during Covid. Because the opportunities to find a job and work in America have decreased due to the pandemic, and my daughter is too young, I could not leave her and come.
I founded my own company on September 8, 2020, because I resigned from my job and had to earn money. After completing a few projects, I made an agreement for the project and construction of a villa on March 22, 2021. I received the construction permit on April 21, 2021. I received the construction completion permit on December 31, 2021. The construction was totally completed on April 15, 2022. But a fire broke out on August 15, 2022. The upper floor was completely burned and the lower floors became unusable due to the fire brigade's water. I completed the construction again in 4 months.
I started making preparations to come again in the first months of 2023. But as you know, there was a major earthquake in Turkey on February 6, 2023, and according to official sources, 50.000 people died, and according to unofficial sources, 250.000 people died. As an expert architect, I attended in studies on collapsed buildings in the region.
Then, I waste time to finish the projects I was working on again. I completed the projects by obtaining permissions on January 5, 2024.
Throughout this process, I applied for jobs in America. I created a detailed portfolio on my Linkedin profile, but I could not receive any positive response.
Now I'm here to check the employment status, and if I can achieve employment opportunities, I want to start making arrangements for my family to live legally in United States again.
bu şekilde bir yazı hazırladım. şirketlerin evrakları, inşaat izinleri, yangının fotoğrafları ve videolarıyla deprem bölgesinde çalıştığıma daire mimarlar odasından aldığım yazılarla beraber bunu sunayım diyorum. orada konusurken gergin ortamdan tam ifade edemeyebilirim belki diye yazıya döküp gitmeye karar verdim.
