By the way, in response to the question posed by Zilhaka1. Yes, you can take any job, even a cleaning job, if you are here with a greencard. Under the *current* rules, any employment will count towards the renewal requirements. However, the ... Read More

Hello everybody! I have a question. I'm going to arrive to Copenhagen at the end of August/beginning of September following the receipt of the Green Card visa. In the cover letter which I received along with it, it is stated that in order to get ...

I'd also go to AirBnB and see if you could find a semi long-term rental (like for 2 months) where it would be OK to register your address. A lot of them don't want to rent for 2 months, but I've found a couple that will. And AirBnB doesn't release ... Read More
