What are the advantages and disadvantages of entering the USA as a married man as against entering as a single?

What are the opportunities for being a married person and being single in the USA?

Which is better?

Thanks. [/quote

Make a try you can win from there.

JUST RELOCATE

Europe - Serbia.

Single is better IMO

Unless you are going with your wife. Otherwise go as a single guy. Even when you are going with your wife , make sure that she can work as well:


At the end of the day, it all boils down to what you are going to America or Europe to do.

As for me, I am only out here to make money with my youthful strength, no amount of money is ever enough, but we can make enough to invest at home based on exchange rates. That is my own aim of leaving naija. I can decide to eat once or twice a day, I can decide to be sharing a room with someone so that I can save more In terms of rent and other things. Just to save some change, but you can’t do all that when you have your family with you.

It is a lot easier as you do not also have much responsibilities as a single guy. You also know that in those who years when you are struggling to get your papers, that you are also working, invest, build something in naija. Maybe some houses for rents. By the time you get your papers fully ready to return to marry, you will have something to show for it. Even when you still want to remain in the abroad with your family, you can easily call money from your investments in naija and live at least a good life. As a married man, except that your wife is working also in naija while you travel. You can’t make much. That money you will be sending for their upkeep would be useful as it will be going to investments instead of consumptions.

But if your plan is to relocate and live abroad forever, then you can go with your family, but it still makes sense for you to atleast stand a little on your own in a foreign land before bringing a second or third party.

Single Because change is the most constant thing in life

this ur comment has no meaning

I have been seeing news of www3 happening and America and Europe will be affected mostly, so u better stay in Nigeria and develoo it and enjoy your life

Na world War 3 dey keep you for Nigeria? Una no go kill person with laughter for Nairaland

Are you actually married, or single? Please enter as your current legal status... they don't like any hint of wuru wuru for that side (it affects things like taxes, deductions, and benefits).

Or are you thinking of whether to get married before moving? I'd suggest get married, because it will be easier later to have your wife join. This one too can be hit or miss... many reports of Nigerian wives becoming monsters. (I'm just relaying reports, don't shoot the messenger)

If you're moving temporarily, like chigoizie7 seems to imply, hustle, make money, spend as little as you can so you can invest the bulk back home. Really, be focused for 5 solid years, don't start leasing/financing fancy cars and renting expensive apartments because you have money. You can build several duplexes that will replace the salary you got in US, if you're wise.

A family in US is quite expensive to maintain, but your dollars would go very far to take care of them if they remain in Nigeria. Immigrant families also have it very tough for 5-10 years before things start to blend.

all I can said to you, don't carry your Nigeria wife to America! I repeat!

Dont try carrying your Nigeria wife to America!

@Op don't waste your little savings on audio visa , rather invest in Rice plantation.

Entering as single is farrrrr better. I entered as a single guy in my late 20s, almost 15 years ago. I benefited a lot as a single guy while schooling and working because I did not have any responsibilities...no wife or children to cater for and I was able to think straight without a divided attention.

A few years later, my close friend also entered though as a non immigrant visa holder and also as a single guy. He claimed asylum which was later granted. He enrolled in a nursing school and later qualified as a nurse. He then came to Nigeria to marry his long time friend.

If you enter as a married man, things wouldn't be as easy as you think especially if you're not entering as an immigrant. Your kids would be enrolled in a school to enjoy free education yes! But there are side payments too which you must bear. Remember you do not have a resident permit so odd jobs are inevitable. Eating from hands to mouth too would be the norm.

If you want to relocate, it's better you do as an immigrant if you hold an H-1B , entering with an NIV wouldn't be a good move bro

single is easier oo

which country sir

If you are single then go as single. If you are married then go alone as married, while you work on settling down then bring your family. It is easier to hustle alone than when you have family around. Trust me it's not always easy relocating if you don't already have a job waiting for you.

better move jare

The questions is unclear:

You’re married wanting to pretend you’re a single person?

Or you’re single wondering if you should get married before leaving?

In any case, it’s relative .

The only advantage of entering as a married man is if u are marrying a citizen other wise there are so many hot latinos why marry here.

Depends on your career path. If you are an IT professional, you won't find it difficult to sync with the system before long.

so u will leave her back in naija so other men will be smashing her
if u know ur intention is to travel out then its best u dont even waste time getting married in nigeria

Come as a single man and your wife must be ready to wait for 5 years or more. If you come as a married man you will have difficulties in getting papers.

wisdom is profitable to direct.

msmon:
The advantage of entering as a single is that you can date a white girl, impregnate her and get a green passport. All will be history

Green card by impregnating a white girl? When you did not marry her?
