seal777: [b]WELCOME TO HOUSTON, WELCOME TO AMERICA.

Now i can truly welcome myself to America, having done with ALL my documentation processes.

1. GREEN CARD 30th day ( delivered 21st day but was returned due to incomplete address ).

2. Social Security Card 25th day ( having told to return to SS office after 21 days in US....).

3. Applied for State ID and Drivers License having told to return after 30 days in the US and Scheduled for Behind the Wheel test 28th May at the DPS office( not learners permit as advised by veterans in America who even took a bet with me that I WILL FAIL THE BEHIND THE WHEEL TEST ).

4. Took and pass the Computer test same day i applied for the Drivers license and got my State ID same day ( plastic copy came in the mail after 10 days ).

5. Since i drive very well before i left Naija, I walk around the streets on regular basis and watch drivers observe the various traffic signals and rules, read the traffic handbook and research on the internet using various YOU TUBE VIDEOS available in preparing for the test.

6. 28th May , i was at the DPS office for my Behind the wheel test and I PASSED CLINICALLY ( without attending any driving school or previous behind the wheel training from anyone in America ). I was given a print out copy while i expect the plastic copy in less than 2 weeks.


LESSON 1. I noticed there are too many negative thoughts from those we refer to as " VETERANS " in the US, most especially those who find things very hard / difficult when they arrived the US in their days ( with or without genuine documents ). They tend to limit the extent of how far we can go as new immigrant with " LIMITED OR NO EXPERIENCE " of the American system.

LESSON 2. Not all those who live in America actually knows America as i was shocked in learning that majority of the rules and procedures i read on the internet was very true while majority of the ideas been sold to me here by those who are suppose to know ( 10 - 35 yrs in the American system ) are not only false but lack substance in its entirety.

LESSON 3. Never associate or listen to anyone who rather than encourage you in achieving a mission, discourage you by giving you million reasons why such can not be done. There are too many negativity thoughts in our peoples mind here in America and such are capable of undermining the successes of intelligent, educated and forward looking immigrants who left Naija with the will and mission to succeed in America.

LESSON 4. Survival in America is based on the power of information, which is readily available on the internet. Learn to research very vigorously for information, make calls to information's numbers and get first hand information from the source and not rely on HEAR SAY.

If you are convinced beyond reasonable doubt you can achieve a feat, go ahead and give it a try ( having made necessary preparations and caution taken ), you are better of failing at the first attempt than not trying at all for the fear of failure or result of discouraging tales from those around you.

Good to hear that. Hope to join u soon but have to sort out this USCIS fee first.

If you receive your immigrant visa on or after February 1, 2013, you must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you receive your immigrant visa and before you travel to the United States. Select USCIS Immigrant Fee on the USCIS website for more information.

Important Notice: USCIS will not issue a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551 or Green Card) until you have paid the fee.what is this all about just copied it fromhttp://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4761.html please can someone elaborate,,

Seal777, you have really made my day. Nice words of encouragement for those of us coming to join you guys soonest. There are so many negative words flying around I tell you. I'm a banker. A lot of people have been telling me I should not leave my job o, there's nothing in America bla bla bla even my relatives over there in America, painting a gloomy picture of America, that things are very difficult that I'll see for myself. I think it all balls down to getting the right information. I surf the internet a lot as well as observe and ask questions too.

Recently, I know a friend (a former colleague) who won the visa lottery and just spent 2yrs in America. She is presently an "Asst. Vice President" in Bank of America. Before then some people were telling me you can not get a corporate job unless you school there first but I found out from research, while it's true to an extent, it is not always so! especially when you have some experience back home.

So I believe you my brother, that we should always search out the truth for ourselves and not just dwell on hear say which could be very demoralizing. Good night my peeps!

Husmern:
thanks... can't one change it on d day of d interview? because dt's wht sm1 told me, dt i can just giv d new address 2 d CO.

Hello Honourable House, a very good morning to you all.

I am Cenobs007, the COOL GUY that missed an interview in January 2013 but was later rescheduled in March. The interview was God's plan. It was brief and simple because the questions you will be asked are from what you say you are (i mean what you say you possess, i.e. the information you filled in ALL your forms as well as your credentials). I thank God I am finally in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The flight (EMIRATE AIRLINES) was good and peaceful. The entire journey was a REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE. Glory!!!

I thank everyone in the house especially those who have been so supportive in terms of advice, informative, counselling, assisting, etc. I LOVE YOU ALL. Most especially, my deep appreciation goes to Jejelady (who has richly and wonderfully helped me a lot in so many areas), Gentiger, Auschris, Gunners4u, Junkerhill(m), marrylove, nero xp(m), seal777(m), idoo4love, Spoondar(f) and others. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I give God all the GLORY, ADORATION and PRAISE for He is worthy to be praise every time. HALLELUJAH!!!

Joining you soon my bro.
Stay blessed!

Like shewen said, wait till after your marriage, prepare very well, if possible, invite your spoke to join the forum because most marriages done after the release are mostly seen as sham, I've come across people who deliberately back-dated their Wedding cert. (you don't have to do this), all you need is to proof that your wedding is real! and have this phrase at the back of your mind should the CO want to intimidate you"... you (personalize it) don't have to halt your life all because of American dream".

U can make 2copies each
thats how i did during mine
but they just took only one copy each
Goodluck Pator
