This Thread is for US residents(students, working class, etc) of Nigeria origin.

Tell us your story, how you got to US, how is life in the US, is it a blessing or nah, do you wanna come back or nah.

Give practical advice to your brothers/sisters down in Nigeria who are earnestly aspiring to migrate to US.

Give hints like on rewarding careers in the US, how to prepare while in Nigeria and infact anything that will help.

Also hint us about the American cultures, foods, marriage and relationship, sociaI life etc.

#Note: Indians and Chinese folks are everywhere in America, the have forums like this where they help each other migrate. And the result is very obvious globally. Let's help one another. Thanks.

thanks!
to be sincere, its fear of unknown that has been holding me here.
I am processing admission for a year course in a college in US, an alumni who have spoke with the admission officer is recommending me (my uncle precisely). the admission will come God willing, I will pay the fees, prepare myself and ensure I get the Visa.
where my fear lie is after that 1 year, I will become illegal immigrant. though I know many have crossed through this path, I will like to have idea of what steps can change illegal to legal.
