I have no idea. I'm hoping for the best but who knows what will happen. I just have no idea and all I'm doing is picturing all the additional bad scenarios that can happen, I'm a mess... Not knowing kills me.

Last year I had a tough time finding a new job (when I was laid off the first time) and I'm really concerned that's going to happen again, and this time I won't be able to collect any unemployment because I don't have an unexpired work permit.

Whoa, we are actually entitled to collect unemployment? That's good to know.

Just make a hell of a good impression and they will keep the position for you. Congrats on the new job though!
