komakan: Bro. The issue of hotel is also important for those coming outside Lagos, I reside in Abuja. Pls, any information as per cheap hotel close to Embassy will be of help. Thanks.

junkerhill: Wow!! Never knew the pages of this thread has gotten to 100. My gratitude goes to those who has been of help to you guys; people like Roodboy, Kevwe-flex and many others i dont know of, may the good Lord reward you and may your heart desires all be granted.

Got my greencard and ssn last week and now ready to move on. Just want to remind you guys that patience is very much needed throughout the process of this lottery. starting from the point or date of application to when point of getting your green card. You need to exercise a lot of patient and never fail to commit every step into the hands of God. Always ask question whenever you dont understand anything and always do everything by the book. Following short cuts will only get you into trouble. Even if i'm nt here to answer your questions, i bleiev there are so many good samaritans that will answer all your questions willingly to your satisfaction.

i pray that you all find what you are looking for. Once again my regards to Roodboy, he is a wonderful man, he was with me when the road was tough and i thank God for remembering him and not leaving him behind. Roodboy, it shall be well with you. You have a good heart. America needs people like you.
ONE LOVE!!

junkerhill: yes brother, atlanta is good, though I'm yet to understand how their weather works over here. At 7pm, the sun is still shining and 8pm its yet to be dark.

Before we decided to take a taxi ,a family friend had earlier made arrangement for us to put up in a hotel at obalende.he said a short cut would take you there on foot in 30mins.cost 5k,but we decided to put up at my uncles place.if interested in the hotel let me know so i can get the address.

junkerhill:

We will be pleased to have you in atlanta. Atlanta is good and their weather is a good like tht of texas. The cost of living is low to compare to N.Y., chicago or L.A. There are many africans in Atlanta especially Nigerians, but We only have 4 nairalanders in atlanta and each one of us will give you all the assistance you need to be like others. AS for the green card and SSN, it took me 3days to get my SSN and 3weeks to get my green.
Flight ticket to anywhere in america depends on many things;
1: the airline
2: the time of the year
3: Your destination
4: the class of the airline
5: nearness of the date of your departure to the date you bought the ticket purchase.
6: direct flight or connecting flight

All these are what you have to put into consideration before buying your ticket. I did my research very well before i bought my ticket and i expect you to do the same irrespective of where you are going in America.
As for me, i had little money on me so i went for the
one my money could buy. There few airline with cheap ticket to America and they are; Emirates, Royal air Maroc, Qatar, Egyptair etc. I knew going with a direct flight would cost me much so i took some connecting flights that took me to Atlanta, and it also helped me to see som places i had only seen on TV. i will just giv u a brief summary of my journey to US. i went with Emirates, which was the cheapest as at the time i traveled and dont know how much it is now.
From MMA to Dubai, we connected a flight that took us to New York from dubai. From New
York, another flight to Charlotte then another flight from Charlotte to Atlanta. I know it sounds
stressful bt i got it #190,000 cheaper if i had gone
with a direct flight. From MMA to NY wit emirates was 140k, so when I got to New York, I got another flight( U.S. airways) that took me to ATL wit 49k.

MMA ---- Dubai (7hrs)
Dubai ---- New York (13hrs 30mins)
New York --- Charlotte (2hrs)
Charlotte --- Atlanta ( 1hr 30min)
Its was 4 flights in all but You can save yourself the stress if you have the money, but its fun to visit som of these places. If you have enough time you can walk around and see som places while waiting to connect your flight. Emirate has 3 diff flights from MMA to NY everyday and their connecting time differs, one is 2hrs, the other is 8hrs while the 3rd is either 15 or 19hrs. The choice is yours. These are all you need to know before booking a flight. Most times agents don't explain all these things to people, that's why you need to do your research very well before buying your ticket. I will advice you to buy the one with least connecting time, trust me, you don't want to stay for hours waiting to connect your flight cos it could be very boring if you are traveling alone. Just make sure you do your research very well before you buy your ticket.

kevwe_flex:

Hmm what a weather. I think it has to do with equinox. Hw's Atlanta as per job opportunity and cost of living compared to Texas?

junkerhill: Texas ranks either number 1 or 2 as a state with the lowest cost of living. So atlanta is higher than texas but lower than L.A and NY when it coms to cost of living.
