tosinjoe: Pls does anyone have a first hand experience with qatarairways or knw how reliable they are?

YES ... they are very reliable, few members travel wit Qatar Airline and gives us Gud reply (experience) about their services.

No delay in their timing both wit their connection flight.

Qatar is more cheaper wen booked ahead (Booking now against d month of October, November, December...) than to book flight within the range of 2-4 weeks of takeoff, it is highly expensive in dis case

shidoshi:

people who said "don't make any preparations till you have your visa in your hands" weren't stupid!

No they weren't stupid. They just don't want someone else to be.

" Don't make any preparations" means don't sell your house or property, don't quit your job, don't buy a flight ticket, do not place yourself in an irreversible situation. It doesn't mean you should not seek a host. After all on the ds230 form you need to put an address of where you plan to stay when you arrive as that is where your SSN and GC will be sent. Though your initial address can always be changed at the POE.
FIREWAMI is a family person and it might not be easy finding someone to host more than one person, hence I encourage him to seek a host now, visa or no visa, he has nothing to loose.

you havent gotten a visa yet and rely on so much ''them talk say'' the quoted poster already gone past the interview stage so must have had a ''host'' in his paperwork filled.
The thing is why make arrangements when you dont have ur visa at hand. for eg a dv winner contacts me about hosting possibilities I give up every other family member that could have come stay with me cos I made sacrifice for someone only for the person to call and say I have delays with visa processing.
I repeat do not make any concrete prep until you have ur visa in your hands
my experience QED

Adeboy007:



Gud evening. Pls be calm about dis

I can't say precisely the reason Children's Practice never ask to come back for some vaccines and likewise dat of Q-life dat says some vaccines expire after some days and dat, one should come back for it.

But I have come to get the fact dat it is Not compulsory you go back to Q-life hospital to take d vaccines you were ask to come back for, u can do dat at any Private or General hospital and dat will reduce the prices of each vaccines. Just ensure you take your vaccination record sheet to the hospital so as for dem to update it.

Note: it is necessary you take the expire vaccines BUT NOT compulsory as it will not affect you at The Point of Entry ONLY if your Visa expired before getting to P.O.E. ....... Remember dat ur Visa expiration date is equal to your Medical expiration date

@StSteven... you can had your medical there, Nothing to worry about.
Thank you for your response.

Dekonjay:

More reason he should find a host or any sort of accomodation. Or would you suggest he waits last minute before he starts looking?
It's better to be ready for any eventualities early than late.
@ FIREWAMI please try contacting Pipsland. He has left a post you can reply to as well.
thanks all just saw ur comments all that had been settled

rcha: How and where and when and how much do I have to pay for USCIS fees? And why do we have to pay?
The USCIS FEE IS 330 dollars....

Foreign nationals who seek permanent residence in the United States and receive an immigrant visa from the Department of State need to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee online before departing for the United States.

How to Pay the Fee

You must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee online using USCIS ELIS. You may pay for yourself and for any family members who will live with you in the United States. Attorneys, accredited representatives, and employers are not authorized to create a USCIS ELIS account on your behalf to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee. Only you, as the immigrant, may open a USCIS ELIS account and pay the required fee in order to obtain your Permanent Resident Card (Green Card).

You will need to complete the electronic payment request and provide:

Your Alien number (A-Number) and your Department of State (DOS) Case ID number.
If you pay for your family members, you must have their A-Numbers, DOS Case ID numbers and correct biographic information.
You also will need to provide a valid credit or debit card or, if you choose to have money taken directly from your bank account, a checking account number and the routing number for your U.S. bank.

AdenijiPupa: am trying to pay my USCIS fee, but is asking for ROUTINE Number, How do i get that pls?
are u paying from the STATES.....
Your bank routing number is a nine-digit code that’s based on the U.S. Bank location where your account was opened. It’s the first set of numbers printed on the bottom of your checks, on the left side. Often when you’re making a payment by phone or online, you will be asked for your checking account routing number. It’s also referred to as an RTN, a routing transit number, an ABA or a banking routing number.

Hello forumite, is it necessary i obtain state i.d before the driver licence. pls your response is urgently needed. And what is the different between the state I.D and the Driver's licence Thanks.
Re: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by maikeal: 11:56pm On Aug 13, 2014
Greeting to you all... I'm happy to hear from you guys and to see that the good work of the thread has not stopped.. Just to add a few info that you guys may need..

1. Pls if you travelling, go to market and get a good,thick jacket that u'll use for your trip especially if you have long stop-overs, and if you are not used to extreme cold like me.. Cos i was almost frozen at morroco and moreover the plane is always cold so if u like urself, better carry one sweet jacket..(i swear,,you will thank me later)

2. It doesnt really matter the bank u are using to pay for ur greencard.. I used Enterprise Bank and it was awesome.. So any bank is good as long as: A. Its mastercard and B. It has been activated for internet banking...

3. When paying ur Greencard fee,the 3-digit number at the back of ur ATM card is ur pin.. Dont even think about using ur normal 4-digits ATM withdrawal pin cos it wont work..

4. At POE i wasnt asked to switch my phone on, my bag wasnt searched at all and i wasnt asked any questions at all... I guess i GOT REALLY LUCKY because i saw the way a lot of people were scruntinized and searched thoroughly,how their foods and valuables were destroyed, how they asked them to switch on their phones and how so many phones and gadjets were destroyed too because they weren't able to turn it on, probably because their batteries died on the way to U.S, so save ur battery, 1 bar wont hurt a fly!

5. According to the newyork 103.5 ktu fm's news i heard that countries that posses the EBOLA disease WILL be barred from entering the U.S until the disease is cured permanently, as a measure to prevent the disease from spreading... The law has NOT yet been pass down or decided yet.. So ur prayers will go a long way for those who aren't yet in the U.S...


I thought it would be nice to say 'hi' after a while now, and i have to confess that i miss you all and that every nerve in my body cant wait to see all of You in the U.S soon smiley... Adeboy,Armba,Chijen, kaydaddy,lakesideforchrist,jehovahfavour,phazika and all the founding members (i cant remember all your names) HOPE you all have not forgotten me sha?? smiley.. For your sake u berra dont forget me because i still have my KOBOKO.

opeone: Hello forumite, is it necessary i obtain state i.d before the driver licence. pls your response is urgently needed. And what is the different between the state I.D and the Driver's licence Thanks.

My answer is NO.. Its not compulsory because the state i.d number is still the same number that will be printed on your driver's licence.. You sholud only get the state I.d if you are not going for driving school ANY SOONER because most jobs requires it before they can hire you, even schools and hospitals ask for it...

State I.d is you Identity card which is used to identify you.., while driver's licence is your identity card with proof that you are now legally approved to drive in the U.S.. Thats the way i understand it.. Hope it helps?
