Job Interview

I left Royal Mail a year ago as we emigrated to the US. Yesterday I had an interview with the USPS, and fingers-crossed, it seemed to go well. I should hear something in the next day or two.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Cheers. We're in upstate New York. The office I've applied to is in Ithaca.

That's just shocking, but fortunately (I hope) as I would be on a rural route I should be OK.

How did you manage to get a green card or whatever it's called to allow you to live work/there?

How does the pay compare?

My wife is a US citizen so I got my residency that way. As for pay, the starting salary is $32,000. Bearing in mind that the cost of living is lower (£1.50 a gallon of petrol) that is pretty good.
