@packaging my man, laughter shall be your portion because u hav been destined to celebrate with us this xmas at our Get-together party in which Adesoji is our host.
@Adesoji, the God who started good things in your life will finish it. As you are counting the number of years you hav been in America, so shall you count your blessings as well. And this prayer also goes to well-meaning Nigerians who hav contributed one way or another in the progress, comfort and settling down of the newly immigrated Nigerians, people like Temmy, Jejelady, brightmon, and many others who i cant remember. May your doors of blessings continually remain open and never to be shut in life. Amen

Afro4u: hello good people in the house. I have been following this topic since i pick up my Visa March ending. I landed in America few minutes back with my family of four. I changed my address at POE to Indiana and i was told its noted already. My question is this: do i still have to call them to know if the changes is effected? and again, in plan to pay my GC fees here right now, hope that wont affect my papers processing?

you are welcome afro4u! There is nothing bad in calling them to confirm.

To the glory of God, I received my Greencard and Social Security Card in the mail yesterday; that is after 18 days since arriving The States. It seems like an eternity. But they are finally here.... How the job hunt begins while I am doing some certification courses.... Thanks Adesoji for the advise about not to worry concerning the notice we received last week suspending further action on processing our GC.

my brother, you can either go to their office which normally opens by 3:00pm everyday at MMA, lagos or book online at www.wakanow.com. Flight ticket is cheaper at these 2 places. I bet you, you can spend more than 150-170k to Texas.
As for change of address, you can do that witht the immigration at you POE. You have notin to worry. Just relax, everytin will be alryt.

you can pay using your gtbank naira master card.[/b].


you can pay using your gtbank naira master card.

Good evening my good people of the house!
I always pray for you all and continue to pray for the success of all in this forum.
I have 5 questions begging for answers:

1. I need to pay USCIS fees for 5 of us. I tried making a payment yesterday evening with my GTB Domicilliary mastercard. I was debited 165usd while a message appeared saying my card is invalid or cannot be recognized. My question is for those who have payed using their cards: Can I pay using my GTB Naira Master Card and not GTB Domiciliary Master Card?

2. On the website for driving test, can I read, study and take the exam from Nigeria before leaving for the states or must I get to u.s. 1ST.

3. @Adesoji, I read in one of the earlier posts that you are a cisco instructor: Can you or others advice me on this aspect. Can I prepare for this certification and take the exam here in Nigeria and have a guaranteed chance of gainful employment in U.S. Otherwise, please advice on other certifications!

4. Due to Summer rush: Which agent can I use to book for a family of 5 at reasonable cost. I don't mean all those 350k tickets via United and the rest. Please, your recommendations would be appreciated.

5. Last question is on the USCIS page when you are about hitting the final payment button: There is a field that request for billing address- Which address should I fill in here: my host address in U.S. or My local Nigerian bank address or my Local Nigeria Home address.

6. My Point of Entry is Virginia: How is Virginia generally and how long does it take to get green card and ssn in virginia. anybody from that axis or who knows about virginia?

Thank you for your usual support! God bless you as you educate me and answer 1 or more of my questions!!
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by adesojiaderemi(m): 11:32pm On Apr 18, 2013
Sorry for my late response abdul,concerning the Cisco certification;you can do it in any approved Pro-metric center anywhere, it is still same examination and the certificate is same all over the world.If you can, get as many certifications;ccna,msce.. before you come.

Hey Nifty! Thanks for your response; My host stays at Woodbridge, VA. She mentioned to me the last time we spoke a couple of days back that I could come in through Atlanta Georgia Airport and pick up a connecting flight to Dulles Washington airport. What do you think? How should I take it from Nigeria? Airline?

How long did it take for your Green card and SSN to be processed? Thanks!

Thanks a million Adesoji,
I replied you in the 2013 forum! Meanwhile, I appreciate and getting ready to "go back to school"!
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by Afro4u: 12:54pm On Apr 19, 2013
its has been 5days now i got to America with my family. I had gone for my SSN with my family on Monday at their nearest office in Indianapolis and was asked to wait for almost 2weeks before i get it. For now, what other things things can i do aside from preparing for driving test? again, is it possible to open bank account with my passport alone?
Again, its like everybody here believe that one can not get good job with Nigeria certificate except all these menial jobs, i dont know how though is this too. Thanks

@Abdul, go to my profile, my contact is there. Send me an email or add me on facebook. I'm headed Atlanta after my interview. Will be comforted knowing I have a brother close by, be it in atlanta or Virginia.
