Some people wait that long in order to avoid marriage brohaha. You can find a true lover in the US and go for it than going for anyhow spouse just for GC. So marriage is not the only way...maybe English was the problem.

Dot1:
Nothing automatically guarantees your visa approval. It only improves your chances.

He needs multiple entry visa to be able to leave and re-enter Nigeria.

JabinodelaRatta: go through their points again, none of them never said marriage was the only way. Their point is marriage seems to be the easiest way.

ferdimako:
Check the meaning of end game! I was addressing osahons9. Others backed my claim..he was the one stifling my opinion. Did u bother to read from the beginning? Are u OK?

JabinodelaRatta: why are you being so sentimental over it? Well in response to your question sir, am ok. I did as you asked me to, however, I didnt find anywhere in the dictionary where "end game" is a synonym for "only". Or may be you should educate me more on that. Am a willing learner sir.

sirRiddy: I am taking my first practice test after my prep this month.

bigfrancis21:

I think I get your point. You were trying to say that green card by marriage is the major route to residency in the US. True to that, green card by marriage still remains the most commonest and easiest means of adjusting status here in the US because of the ease that comes with it. All you need to do is simply fall in love and have your GC in your hands in 1 year, or 2 years tops. I mean, take a look at all the statistics on percentages of routes to green card and the marriage route trumps the others. Last year, 2013, family based green cards made up 55% of all green cards issued and employment based green cards 13%. It is still the preferred means of adjustment because you don't have to be a 'genius' or 'exceptional' to earn it neither do you have to wait 6 long years to get it. Not to also think of the fact that green card via marriage is the only green card route that 'forgives' any prior immigration law transgressions such as a previous F1 status who violated their status, or a visitor visa alien who overstayed on his visa etc. These transgressions are difficult to forgive if adjusting via other routes to green card especially via the employment route.

People get their green cards via other routes such as employment, visa lottery, asylum etc but their numbers are small compared to the marriage route. Green card by marriage still remains the preferred route by many anytime anyday.

I'm not disturbed...I'm not even coming to the US. Just put the records straight for others to use.

moneybag100:
Thanks bro...how far improve are we talking about? Is it up to 50% success?

JabinodelaRatta: @bigfrancis...boss I greet u. Hope you got my mail of appreciation?

fashbaba: I possess a virgin passport. I have my docs ready for my appointment with the embassy. Hope the fact that I have not travelled outer the country before hinder me being granted visa for my masters?

bigfrancis21:

Yea I did bro. How's your school application thing going?

fashbaba: I possess a virgin passport. I have my docs ready for my appointment with the embassy. Hope the fact that I have not travelled outer the country before hinder me being granted visa for my masters?

ferdimako:
Even the Op has acknowledged he should not have generalised when MsNas called him out. I have seen your write-ups here and you need to improve.

99% may rely on marriages but u can't say they all secure the GC only from marriages because 1% follow non-marriage routes. End game....u can't say no matter the other ways...u need marriages to cement the green cards. Use Google... a nice tool or don't u trust it too?

Sb just said after two years, F1 holders can join the military. I will still check on that.

I just learnt kids born off diplomats aren't given citizenship.

Joenice: Not at all. Virgin passport is a lot better. The VOs prefer virgin passport for F-1 Visas. They see you as inexperienced, not knowing that you've got some knowledge on Nairaland, as well as how to become a citizen.

But before, it was so hard getting an F1 US visa without travelling out of the country. So, when you go to the embassy and the VO asks you, why haven't you traveled out of Nigeria, just tell him or her that you're here for a student visa and to disvirgin your passport. Just kidding brother.

domex007:

Bros, how are you?
How are you holding up?

Joenice: If you really want to succeed in life, please forget about how hostile people might be towards you. Sometimes, criticisms is good, so as to bring out the best in you.

Some of my best friends criticized me a lot in the past, even when I coughed, they said i smoke weed but in reality, they're the one smoking shits. Till God caught one of them. Ever since then, they never ever criticized me and when I talk, they always listen.

Keep up with your dreams and don't get discouraged or disturbed.

doctore89: Please how can someone register for SAT from the USA for a friend of mine that is in Nigeria? Please its Urgent. Thanks

domex007: Hello frnds,
When filling ds160, the part where they ask if you have a relative in the US, (I have an uncle there) but I can't find the column for uncle, what do I click?

innovativeame:
Oga Joenice, this risible and hilarious comments and responses of yours have propelled me to ask if you are studying COMEDIOLOGY ( new art course-comedy) ;Din school. Your comments are usually profound, however with highly concentrated elements of humour.
Also, you have never made argument a necessary show of prowess and knowledge content. I can't just stop laffing . Please, how do I disvirgin my own passport, I need a special technique so that it won't sound like a crime

JabinodelaRatta: Sir, neither did I criticized him nor was I hostile towards him. I only emphasized Bigfrancis's point but I never thought it'd be taken as an offence by him. Anyways, i've apologized to him.
