College students with an offer of a $15,000 job can get one. I just graduated last month and I remember all the literature I saw saying the offer only needed to be for $10,000. This didn't help me any since I'm continuing my studies elsewhere. But much to my surprise, three days after graduation, a letter from AmEx came to me stating that I had been "pre-approved" for a green card regardless of whether I had a job at the time or not. There was something else about them knowing that I would soon be a responsible employee somewhere. Being the plastic-happy soul I am, I of course returned the completed form to see if they were kidding or not. Obviously, they weren't since yesterday I found an envelope containing a hard, flat object with my name embossed on it. This in spite of the fact that they know I won't be making a real salary for at least four years. Have any other recent grads received such? -- Brian C. Carty AT&T Bell Laboratories Piscataway, NJ
