smoothsailor: please i'm a new dv winner that just came into the country and residing in minnesota. please i have a wife that is four month pregnant and i will like to know the benefits we qualify for as a green card holder and where she can get started with the anti natal things because we are just finding our feet and as of present, we still lives with a friend as we are less down 2 weeks old in the country. Thnks

pator: Please I have a concern I need to clarify. My host just raised an issue that my wife might not be able to work for several months or even years because we will be going with about 3 months old baby. His argument is that we will not be able to afford a nanny and so she has to stay at home to nurse the baby. Please experience people how true is this?

owobabaisabella: Touch down on USA soil on the 8th of June at Newark International Airport aboard a virgin-atlantic flight from London. Went through the immigration and people were looking at me because I join the line of permanent residents with a green passport on my hand,but I don't care cos I know am a permanent resident too lol. After 30mins am done with the immigration officer, all glory be unto God for everything. This is my second day in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

olanrewaju76: Hi guys up there, I am a DV selectee and I have been scheduled for interview in the American embassy next week. what was it like during your time? I mean what I should expect. Thanks

ogba1: Dear Nairalander, it has been a challenging experience. Touch down some few days ago with family in Houston, Texas. The Airport experience was good and welcoming. Host has been welcoming. But the difficult aspect is that one needs a second death to fit into the system of things here in Gods own country.Very unlike naija where anything goes. The waiting game continues for GC, SSN and Shola Shola. Thanks to all forumites. With duggedness we will get there where we want to be. Our strength is in HIM who failleth not.To all our gratitude.

Cost of day care officially ranges from $20-$40/day but that doesn't mean she cant work, all you need is planning, if two of you work you can afford it even if she works part time.

missannie: Pls House Members, I have stayed in America for A Month now, but i still haven't recieved my GC. How long those it take for GC to arrive. I paid my USIC fee before leaving 9ja. If u have collected your GC, how long did you wait. Thanks.

adesojiaderemi@:


You may need to call the USCIS office ASAP, make sure you have your receipt number and alien number available.

missannie:
I made d call today & i was told that they have mail it since 20th of May @ my old address, but when i got to the point of entry; I gave them the new address. I wonder why they still posted it to the old address. Though, they gave me a tracking number & told me to call US Post office services. But if am still unable to get it, that means i'll apply for a New one. I pray i get it oo!

Thank you so much Adesojiaderemi, my prayer for you today is that God will bless you mightily. Thanks, am greatful.

ikemans: Hello all, I would be very grateful if gurus in the house can advise me on this issue. A friend of mine has a dv visa which expires in August 2013. He is currently very busy at school so can not leave till mid-July. The problem is he has only five days to spend in the USA because he has to return to finish his exams. My question is that, is it possible for him to travel to the USA, get his passport stumped ( which makes his visa valid for one year) and leave the USA after about five days without waiting for his green card?
Will get any problems if he want to re-enter USA with his passport again (maybe after 2 months) without a green card?

Thank you all for the wonderful work you are doing here.

It is well with your family.
You are definitely getting out of this. Just be prayerful.
I want to believe your husband is the main applicant but whatever be the case, let him pay for the GC processing so he can start working as you mentioned.
Afterwards, you have to find a way to pay for yours and kid's because women and children attract more considerations in terms of WIC and SNAP because you need them with your present circumstance.
Please go to this site for information on how to pay
