boss. I like you. Congrats on ur successes so far. More power to ur elbow.

Am in Qatar now. Earning good pay as a Safety personel. However qatar is a hot, muslim country and even tho its fast developing, there are still mega restrictions and lack of openness and most jobs here are in construction cos its a developing nation. If Construction finish? Then no more work. I cant be here when that happens. I need to move and it has to be U.S cos no matter the country I move to, if its not U.s, i wont feel settled. And by move i mean move to u.s forever. No more coming back to Naija. Raise american family, live and die in america.

What are my options. How best can i come to u.s. Am late 20s, single, bsc holder, smart have about 2mil naira in savings so far. Wanna move from qatar latest 2020.

Thanks in anticipation and congrats again

Firstly, your guy driving a 43 million naira Benz does not mean he owns it. It could be rented or leased. It could be his though bought on credit and not cash down. It could also be on credit backed by his mom.

Your other guy with $153k might be working at a construction site or under the table saving every cent.

Most Americans don't have much in their bank accounts because they live on credit. Every check they pay into their account cancels out a credit they had taken or mortgage facility. Don't be swayed jaaaare.

I really want to know ,the ropes the best way I can get this visa without getting refused because I have heard from people that UK visa is tough.

grin grin grin grin. Thank you for the advise. But you got the picture wrong. Pigin dey hard to explain everything sometimes. If i say Mrs K said this or that. What i actually mean is "Mrs K suggested that" or "Mrs K's opinion is"

She's calling no short. I think i have to elaborate better the kind of person she is (maybe on some other post) and the kind of person i am.

Also i want you to know that here is not like naija. Everyone has an opinion, even kids. America is a very opinionated country, you can't disregard other person's opinion just because you want to "take charge". Regardless, she listens to me and take my advise 99% of the time. That's why we have been able to work on our issues.

Let me write the direct transcript of our conversation like i remembered it

Mrs K: (on Amazon looking for a winter jacket)Babe i like this one, should i buy it?

Me: (checks computer sees price) chineke!!, 189$?. No!, e too cost. I think you can get it cheaper on cyber Monday. Why not wait or check eBay. you have to buy a size larger though.

Mrs K: it's not that expensive you know. Besides, its a brand name. And why a size larger?

Me:So it fits next year, you know, just incase we got preg

Mrs k: i actually been reading about that and post baby fats. I really think we should change our diet to include more vegetables and healthy options. It's for our own good and also the baby. I need your support about it. You know i can't do it on my own. Think about it as you finally getting the six packs.

Me: with all the food wey you chop sef, you no even change. I'd have to think about it. Make a list of things we need to cut out of our groceries and the list of the healthy options. Let's see what we need to improve on

Mrs K: (Making a list) (first on list, Pizza)

Me: (saw pizza). No, not pizza. You can decide not to eat pizza.

Mrs K: (makes the list without pizza). I'm gonna buy you baby books for xmas (while giggling uncontrollably).

Me: (stares at her)

Mrs K: c'mon, its cute. It gets you prepared mentally.(still laughing)

*Notification comes up on her Facebook*

Conversation changes to getting an oil change , back to winter jacket, to the amount of points i have on Jet blue airline, to spending xmas in New york.


I go love ooo grin grin
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by bigtt76(f): 9:43am On Nov 25, 2017
You're welcome.

As a standard practice, Visa officers always want to see the following in your application

1. Strong ties with your home country
2. Availability of funds to cater for your travel and stay throughout the duration of your visit. This could be very tricky. Don't show proof of funds with N3million and say you are sponsoring yourself for the trip costing you N2.8million for example. The VP would be like, why would you want to spend all your savings just on a 3 weeks vacation. Use wisdom here.
3. Letter of invitation giving strong reason for you to be travel
4. If staying with a host family, that family must prove that they can house you conveniently in an apartment that is rented or owned. They must tender their rent agreement or mortgage documents and bank statements.
5. Your bank statement must show only funds that can be tied to your occupation. That is, if you are an employee with company A, it must show all your salaries paid by the company. Any other cash inflow to that account must be explainable and in your application. For example if in addition to your salary, you get paid commissions by Jumia for affiliate marketing, you should mention that in your application and tender necessary contracts.
6. Ensure no sudden large cash bank deposits before applying it would be suspected.
7. Your storyline should be as genuine as possible no ambiguous stories.
8. A letter from your company (genuinely registered company) showing that you are their staff and you are entitled to a period of time for vacation or leave as well as confirming your salary earned backed by pay slips, would help prove your strong ties.

I think these should help give you a head start. I will update with more but I think from what BlowJobs had mentioned and others in the travel section of NL you will be fine.

I noticed that you mentioned not having traveled anywhere before, I would advise if you can afford it, travel to Ghana or other African countries first before attempting to try the UK visa thing. Though it may sound foolish but VOs would be wondering why you have not traveled to cheaper African countries first before looking to travel to US or UK.

You need to show them how adventurous you are. For me I have a lot of road trips to and from West African coasts splattered all over my passport. I think you should do the same.

Does your wife work? If yes then her own situation should be incorporated into the application. For example you both splitting the cost of the vacation with separate bank statements showing what each of you earned.

Just make sure you package your application well and truthfully but also try as much as possible to avoid unnecessary details. With UK Visa, it is submit and go using their accredited companies like VFS or others. No serious interview like US Embassy but you will be asked questions during submission.

The VO handling your application only has your documents to help determine your suitability for the visa. Where need arises, you might be called by phone to explain.

A big thanks for your response. I worked as a full staff of a commercial bank while my wife is a public servant with a federal govt agency.
As you rightly advice that I travel to any west African country, though I will prefer Dubai because US embassy bounces so many peps claiming they have been to Ghana and many other African countries during my last US visa interview ,though I don't know how UK sees travel history of African nations. I just want and pray things are right for this one.
Once again ,thanks.
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by bigtt76(f): 6:06pm On Nov 25, 2017
I've never heard of applicants being bounced because they've been to Ghana or other African countries though and UK do not record such trips negatively either.

What may have happened is if they visited Ghana or other countries and over stay or the entry stamps are fake (yes some private transporters not ABC or Cross Country sometimes try to cut corners and get their passengers stamped when they use fake agents) then the US VO sees it as a red flag. Same thing too can happen if you travel to Dubai and you get a fake visa from the agents here in Nigeria.

The only country I know that may lead to a red flag is probably Somali or any of those fighting fighting Islamic countries grin

If you package yourself well, as a bank staff and your wife working in Federal Government agency, should have no problem at all getting the visas - US/UK if you follow the suggestions I gave.

I would advise not to rush to submit a visa application right after your trip to Dubai or any other African countries else they will question how many times in a year does your bank give to staff for vacation.

Lastly, do not equate your own situation with other previously bounced applicants, look at your case differently from others. You never know what they asked those peps who visited Ghana or other countries before they were bounced. All the best.

Travel to any of the following...kenya..South Africa..Ghana .or any British colony... To build travel history or. apply for conferences in UK as relates to your profession, they should provide letter of invite etc to help your application. When filling your amount to spend on ur trip..biko don't exceed your balance on salary account or supplementary accounts..make your trip affordable in relation to your income. Hummm
