Thanks for the thumb up, with your o level and experience you can work in a bank and any other places,all you need to do is to work in and tell them you want to fill employment application.You may also locate employment agency in your location,you can also go for a short course just like my friend said.

remkay2012: House, if the status of the visa stated "ISSUED" does that means the visa is ready for collection?

It simply means that the visa slot is no more available for any other person but you aka used.That may not mean it is availabe for pick up.

Remmy488: Since u have ssce, I would advice u attend a CNA or MEDTEC class it's helpful and more beneficial dan working in a mall or eatery. Jus try n locate a CNA or MEDTEC approaved training center near you and register 4 it, it will b useful 4u and from there u can go 2 community college in ur county. U can also try Correctional work too though d processng takes time.

Thanks @ Remmy488

House. My nephew is about to move to Houston on visa lottery. How much does it cost to rent an apartment? Or could he get a flat to share with others. What will it cost per month?

An average one bedroom apartment in houston cost $600, but the real issue is that you cant just get an apartment without your SSN except somebody help you out.

Bros, I think you should focus on getting an international certification to back up your claims...CCNA, MCP. CompTia..etc will help a lot.

General Advice to anyone in the house. The Medical Report has an expiry date 6 months after it was issued. Make sure you travel before it expires. You will be delayed at the airport for over 6 hours and then asked to go and do the tests again within 30 days. They will not accept anything that is not in the envelope , so if you suspect yours has expired, call the American embassy ASAP and ask for guidance . It will cost you money to redo it in America. Tell everyone you know who may have this issue.

You don't necessarily need degree in IT to get a job, professional certification is ok good to start with.

If your host asked you to get a Nigerian driver's license make sure you get it, not having it may facilitate unnecessary excuse. A word is enough for the wise.

sendtodeji: For folks interested in obtaining training and are concerned about the cost, you should contact the nearest WIA (Workforce Investment Act). They might be able to fund your much desired training/education. WIA is a federal government program operated through the states. Your training provider has to be registered with WIA for them to agree to pay your tuition.

Hello Mr. Deji, how are u doing? please i need your email address or your contact pls.

We have somethings to settle on IT. I shuttle Boston - Nigeria for the now, but my family based in Boston.

my email is mosesobasekola@yahoo.com.

teeebabie: Pls I want to ask if it is necessary to go apply for SSN after one has already ticked yes in the forms
sent to Kentucky.. Remember the question dt asked if one's info should b used to process a SSN.... And if u tink it is necessary , won't that be a double application and is dr any likely consequences of dt or consequences of not going to apply....
Tanx for your prompt response

No you don't have to go, my niece went there yesterday and was told the SSN would be sent to her in 3 weeks from the date of her arrival. She need not have gone. They said that if after 3 weeks she doesn't receive it then she should come back to them.

It's not really necessary cus when u get to the States, you'll have to seat for 2 exams (1). An online written exam on driving & (2). Behind wheels driving test b4 u can be issued a driver licence of your State. I stand to be corrected.

For as much as I know concerning the issue of SSN, it's very important you go to Social security Admin 2 apply 4 ur ssn, dats wot almost everybody entryng dis country has been doin, nobody is sending anytin to you without applyng 4 it. Don't forget they have a thousand and one ppl vistitng their office to apply so I will advice u ask ur niece again if she got their message well.
