omega25red:

poster no sympathy for you because you went to Dubai as a tourist and tried to work. you put yourself in the position to be scammed.

@omegared,that's the rule in dubai,you use tourist to get work,tourist is converted to work for most africans coming in,only nepal,indians,pakistans and some other muslim country that get direct employment visa coz these countries have bilateral agreement with the uae goverment to supply labour. it is not common for africans.you must enter with tourist or visit to seek job,it is allowed.

she says, tears springing to her eyes. “And here he was, working like a servant. I used to cry to myself. I wanted to ask the American government, ‘What do we do? Where do we go? Who should we ask for help?’ This wasn’t the America we had signed up for.”

Winners of the Domestic Visa lottery often complain that they have been thrown into the deep end, with not even a helpline to call, says Segun Kerry, founder of the New York–based Nigerian Community Help Center, which provides emergency assistance, counseling and referral services to Nigerians in America. “But despite the hardships and isolation, people keep coming because the situation in our country is bad and unsafe,” he adds.

In addition to everything else, the K. family's new country felt unsafe. One night, as Sunil was walking home from work, he was mugged at gunpoint. That’s when the family decided to move again, this time picking Queens, New York, where a large Nepalese community lives.

Sunita got a job as a nanny for an Indian family that paid $400 a week; her son took a string of restaurant and other jobs.

But New York’s promise of a better life proved elusive too. Sunil, disillusioned about his work and guilt-ridden about his parents’ plight, fell into a severe depression and eventually moved to New Jersey to work at a gas station.

Most nights, Sunil has trouble sleeping, but he says he feels better knowing that he is contributing $400 a month to his father, who was recently diagnosed with a liver disorder. Sunita often thinks about returning home, but without a house or money to pay her debts, Nepal is no longer an option.

“My husband doesn’t eat and is too weak to move. He still tries to get up and hunt for a job. If he dies, I don’t think I’ll even have the money to cremate him,” Sunita says, unable to hold back her tears. “There is no God here."

*some names and details have been changed

QUEENS, N.Y.—Sunita K., a petite, 46-year-old woman with freckled skin, peeked through the door of a 7-Eleven in Queens, trying to catch a glimpse of the person behind the billing counter. She was searching for Indian faces, confused by similar brown-skinned Hispanic ones. A Nepalese immigrant, Sunita speaks only a few words of English and was hoping to find a benevolent Hindi-speaking Indian to give her a job. Any job.

“I felt defeated,” she says in scarcely coherent Hindi, her first and only language being Nepalese. In the two years that Sunita* and her family have spent in the United States, they have been sucked into a vicious cycle of isolation, unemployment, illness and shattered dreams. “We were supposed to be lucky to be in America, but this has been the worst time of my life.”

Sunita was one of the 50,000 winners of the 2008 “Green Card” lottery. Officially called the Diversity Visa lottery, it is offered by the U.S. State Department in countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Winners, chosen through a random computer-generated lottery, are given permanent resident visas to live, work and study in the U.S. Each year, more than 10 million people apply; like Sunita, 70 percent of the winners come from developing countries in Africa and Asia.

But without any assistance, family or guidance in a new country, many find themselves unprepared to start their lives from scratch.

When he applied for the lottery, Sunita’s husband, 48-year-old Bijay, had worked for 20 years as a civil irrigation engineer for the Nepalese government. He had a comfortable job, the perks of government employment and a settled life, but was persuaded by his 18-year-old son’s desire to study computer engineering in the U.S. and his own wish to be among the “lucky” Nepalese to win the “golden opportunity to go to America.”

Three months later, the consular officer at the U.S. embassy in Kathmandu shook his hand and said heartily, “Welcome to America.” The K. family had won the Green Card lottery.

In preparation for their new life, Bijay mortgaged the family home to raise 1 million Nepalese rupees, roughly $14,000. The family paid around $700 each for the lottery fee, spent $4,500 on three one-way air tickets, and set aside the rest to cover their initial expenses in the U.S.

Lottery winners are unique in their lack of a support system. Unlike immigrants who are “sponsored” by families or employers based in the U.S., those with diversity lottery visas often don’t have a family or job waiting for them. Nor do they have avenues for help or information— the State Department does not offer orientation sessions or programs to integrate them into mainstream American society. A booklet, “Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants,” published by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office, is available in 17 languages. But immigrants are seldom aware of even this rudimentary resource.

Sunita and her family certainly weren’t. They first arrived at the home of a friend of a friend in Springfield, Maryland, where they rented a two-bedroom apartment for $1,000 a month. But they quickly realized that Bijay's engineering degree from Nepal would not get him a job in the U.S., unless he supplemented it with a six-month American diploma. Nepalese neighbors and acquaintances told the family to apply for jobs in stores like Wal-Mart and Home Depot, just to pay the bills till they found better work. But Sunita and Bijay were turned down there, too. Without references, they couldn’t get jobs.

“This is the plight of most people who come to the U.S. on DV lottery,” says Narbada Chhetri, a senior community organizer at a New York–based Nepalese not-for-profit, Adhikaar. “They are normally educated Nepalese, but when they come here, they become cheap labor for local businesses. They are desperate and willing to work very hard for very little money.”

Unlike other visas, the Diversity Visa requires applicants to have a high school education or at least two years of work experience. A 2008 report by the Migration Policy Institute, called “Uneven Progress,” said lottery winners were the second-largest group of legal immigrants, after refugees and asylees, to suffer significant occupational downgrading in the U.S. Immigrants with college, even masters’ degrees, are employed as babysitters, domestic help, cab drivers and waiters.

Upwardly Global, a New York–based organization, helps foreign-trained immigrants to develop job search techniques, craft U.S. style resumes, and hone interview skills. A third of their clients are lottery winners, says Nikki Cicerani, the executive director.

Job-hunting is only a part of the problem though. The K. family was uninformed about many aspects of living and working in the U.S: What is a Social Security number? How does health insurance work? How could they get proof of permanent address?

Sunita spent her days worrying and her nights crying. Chronic anxiety and haphazard meal times led to her developing severe gastric problems, and the cold weather stirred Bijay’s asthma from hibernation.

Broken, the family decided to start over and moved to a crammed, one-bedroom basement apartment in Annandale, Virginia. Their son, Sunil, landed a job as a waiter at an Indian restaurant, where he worked 12 hours a day and returned home so tired, Sunita recalls, he couldn’t even bend to remove his shoes.

“In Nepal, my boy had never so much as lifted a cup of tea,” she says, tears springing to her eyes.

Vicjustice:
Does your visa permit you to work, if not, why bother about it expiring?
That would be useless, it is only good for returning to Nigeria. I wish you best of luck though

I live and work in the uae,but currently c for a wedding.the poster is on the right track coz that's the normal process in UAE for most people who sponsors their visa,you must first enter with a tourist or visit visa first,then seek fo job,if he or she get one,the company that employ with now process the employment visa,employee will then exit with the visit and come in the the employment visa,and then do medicals,once passed,the company will then process residence.so vicjustice,don't criticise the poster.

@ poster,before you come in,you should have arranged someone who will put Ú tru first,its not that easy to get jobs on time but there are jobs in UAE.try G4x,emirad,abu dhabi ,securitas,and some hotels.goodluck

OMG,wish I can do beyonce with this rod of moses between my leg" miracles will neva end anyway

peterowode: but how can we get your ea?

Pls kindly send me an email for more details on this ea

Thanks to those who hav ٤ been contributing. I wonder why the moderators always move post that is aimed at helping people to ads or even delete some.

Anyway,I will post todays result soon.

i opened this new thread for professional and newbie forex traders,i will be posting my daily trade grabs.this eas are autotraders and works on all metatrade terminals with all time frame and trade all currencies.traders only need just few minutes in the morning for the EAto pick trade and you can then disconnect and go to office and come back home in the evening to see the results just like i do daily.i have been using them for years now with backtest,demo trading,and finally running on live accounts from mini toi standard.

as we all know that their is no hail mary pass in forex market,meaning you can compare it sometimes with nigeria stock exchange which crash in no time without notification.only difference is in forex market,you see your results immediately,you either win it all or lose it all.however,forex trading,binaries still remain the one and the best legitimate means of earning legitimate income online,other means google adsense,blogging,online product sells,marketing,ptc,hyips and many more are faced with many limitations.

there are several reasons why traders failed in the forex market.traders who never learn and in haste to trade,greedy traders,traders who have no idea about the market,economy situations and forecast,entering market mostly in wrong time,avoiding risk controlling measures by ignoring SL AND TP,traders who dont study MACD before placing trades and so many reason.even if a trader is perfect in all aspect,professionals stil lose in forex but just not all the time like newbies and amateur traders.

this is why robot and ea comes in.they perform the whole task for you,either you are a newbie or not.it is autotrader.though robots might not be perfect sometimes,there are some that are still profitable and affordable.

i have to stop here. if you have any questions on EAs and trading,contact mathew 08061609181 .or mail akinbimattew@yahoo.com

pls moderators,this thread is opened to help traders.
