THAT SOUNDS LIKE ILLEGAL STUFF AND IMMIGRATION FRAUD. WELL IN MY OPINION, STAY WHERE YOU CURRENTLY EARN A GOOD LIVING AND WORK ON LEGAL MEANS OF GOING ANYWHERE. YOU GO TO AMERICA AND HIDE INDOORS FOR 6 MONTHS THEN WHAT NEXT? YOU THINK 6 MONTHS IS 6 MINUTES?

A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN 6 DAYS TALK MORE OF 6 MONTHS, HER HOUSE CAN BURN, SHE CAN BE FIRED, A CAR CAN HIT HER (GOD FORBID), CAN BE KIDNAPPED OR KILLED (GOD FORBID), SO MANY THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG.

IF IT IS NOT LEGAL DON'T EVEN LOOSE A MINUTE OF SLEEP ON IT BECAUSE SOMETHING ALWAYS GOES WRONG...

THERE ARE MANY LEGAL WAYS SO MY HONEST ADVICE IS THAT IT IS NOT WORTH IT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY-IT'S YOUR CALL.

NOT TO THINK OF YOUR LOSS OF ABOUT $2,300 IN 6 MONTHS (75K X 6)


Drabeey:
She said she would help me travel to the States but she would keep me indoors in her house for 6 months pending when my papers allowing me to move around the US would be ready.

I'm already receiving 75,000 naira per month here in Nigeria and still single.

Please is there any advise from the house?

I am very sure he is regretting it now

He relocated with his entire family. started and completed a masters degree and has a job that pays more than 500k.

He has some professional certifications lined up. which will even help push him higher

Bro, 75k cannot even cover what I pay monthly to APTECH VI computer centre for my advanced software engineering program.

I have been working for 7 yrs now. my starting salary in 2008 was more than double 75k.

I would have achieved less if my salary was 75k.

I advise the OP to take risks now at a young age. you have nothing to lose now. No dependants, No family to worry about. take the jump, It's worth it.

u might want to have a detailed discussion with your sis first.

Enjoy their lives at what quality of standard Can he afford a once in a week dinner at sheraton or eko le median hotel Those are the indicies to know if families enjoy themselves. Can his salary buy him a brand new car My man, let's be objective
so according to you, dinning at sheraton once a week is a sign of being wealthya wise person can diversify that 75k salary and start earning millions a lot of folks do that so don't use your high taste in life to judge others, not everyone is built for that showy kinda life and appearances can be deceiving and who earns such an amount and goes to live in lekki its common sensen the thing is everyone these days wants to start BIG, no one wants humble beginnings anymore and believe me he who can't properly manage a 75k salary as a bachelor can't manage 2million as a married man

You want to abandon a 75k a month salary for an uncertain future in the US? Calm down its not worth it ma dear. Stay back for the moment.

Yes stay back. GMB will make Nigeria better than the USA IN 4 years. If he fails you have only missed 4 years of opportunities in the USA. And you will be 4 yrs older. Your choice.

If you're truly making that money in Nigetia then you'll be a complete dunce to abandon that for the US.

Trust me on that. I've been here since 86 btw.
It's laughable to tell someone making 70.000 Naira to stay in Nigeria if he has the opportunity to advance himself ?. How much is 75 thousand Naira?. I have been here in Chicago for a long time too and I am surprised at your post. I guess to each his own.

What is your own sef, why are you so angry , did you not see up there that he/she will have to spend the money saved up from the 75k salary over the years on getting to the states. So obviously the sister is not paying to get him there but just supplying relevant documents for the visa application

Make sure you are certain before you come-otherwise stay back in Nigeria & secure your job.If i know the kind of visa you want to travel with,i can be able to give you advice.Recently Obama was trying to see if he can grant legal status to some illegal immigrants but i don't know how far he has gone with that

We cannot advise you with the insufficient information you've provided.

1) what type of visa are you applying for? If it's visiting, you're entitled to a 6months visa that has no cap/restriction on your movement in the country within the six months.
You have to stay within the limit of your visa though, which is to visit/holiday,meaning you are not entitled to a paid employment .

2) How does your sister intend getting the so called papers for you after 6months?
To my best understanding-though I'm not in the states but I guess the immigration law is similar to the United Kingdom's.
You could never upgrade a visiting visa to a stay within 6months- matter of fact - you couldn't upgrade a visiting visa .
The best you can get is to become an illegal immigrant and trust me, I don't think it's a life you want to subject yourself to.You're basically going to be living like a prisoner.

Ask your sister these questions- what are her plans for you?- real and cogent plans .Are they feasible?
If they aren't or would subject you to being illegal ,it's not worth it one bit!

I see a lot of people here that get so excited about the prospect of going to western countries that they don't give it any deep thought or have a concrete plan and 10 years down the lane,they are still doing odd jobs and living in constant fear of deportation.
That life is no life!

My friend u sound very confused, even yur post titled "my sister wants me to waste 6 months....." reveals a confused mind, if u already know it is a waste of yur life why r u seeking advice from NL, yur story is very shady, why hide inside a house for 6 months? what exactly are u planing to do in the U.S?, are you planing to illegally over stay yur visa? or r u planing to get involved in some fraudulent scheme, if so u r a fool, once caught u will never b able to travel to the U.S again, my advice dont get involved in anything illegal, talk to yur boss and take time off work and use yur visa to go and buy some profitable market, you can always raise capital e.g getting orders from the right people, loans, yur own savings e.t.c this way you can still visit yur sister and devised a better strategy 4 the future, buy yur business, keep yur job, and above all still get another U.S visa next year

Re: My Sister Wants To Waste 6months Of My Years In The US by fedesng(m): 10:11am On Apr 05, 2015
@Drabeey. Based on my experience here, I will suggest you find a way to ask your sister the following questions without being offensive:
1. Is this a human trafficking scheme (because every state is cracking down on perpetrators). A few weeks ago many human trafficking rings were busted in a nearby county. Result: deportation or jail before deportation. Some people have argued that American jail is better. I don't think so.
2. What kind of paper will you get after 6 months? Unless your sister knows what many people don"t know, there is no permit / paper that can be ready in 6 months. Unless you win green card. Not even if you marry a citizen. If it's that easy, there wouldn't be any nubile illegal here.
3. What happens during and after the 6 months? Be sure you have a clear picture. It can be very lonely and frustrating here. You will be at the mercy of your sister and any of her associates (glorified slavery). Nigerians, like many other clueless immigrants, are involved in lots of shits here.
Don"t get me wrong, I believe in miracle too. But I suggest you do your home work. Heaven helps those who help themselves and people can make wrong turns for lack of knowledge. Sometimes, a bird in hand can be worth more than a million in the bush.
May life be kind to you.

I am not going to tell you to go or not. I am only bothered about your sister getting your papers within 6 months?

Is your sister a US immigration officer? Even if she is one, she can't do much. The fastest way to get papers in the USA is via marriage which doesn't always end well for many because you are subject to blackmail and continous extortion. You may end up searching for papers for years to come. Look before you leap.

Please stay on your 75k job. For you to clinch that kind of job in a highly saturated labour market such as Nigeria is an indication that you're competitive, or can pull the right strings. No place like home. If you're yet to leave the shores of this country it may still be freaking you, but after a while, "freaking" things soon become ordinary.
And for a lady that you are, you won't like that hustle life your sister wants to introduce you to, trust me.
Questions you should ask yourself?
Is your sister married and happy in the States?
Do you picture yourself in her position in the next couple of years? Excuse me, she will model you to be what she is. If you don't like what you see don't go for it.
Are you happy with your present job? Do you see any hope for the future if you remain on it?
Have you discussed with your confidant?

Bro's don't do it. Never ever let your your visa expire while in the U.S. What you've done is close any chance of gaining entry or residency unless you are lucky to marry into it. People who live in the states without papers astound me. You are pretty much a prisoner. But, i don't understand; if she is willing to invite you and she is your sister, then why doesnt' she just file for you. It is so much easier that way. Unless of course she is living there illegally as well. I wish you luck though.
Re: My Sister Wants To Waste 6months Of My Years In The US by Originalsly: 10:24am On Apr 05, 2015
Your sister is a liar and you have nothing to gain by taking up her offer. A liar?....papers are processed before you can travel to the US...not travel first and papers processed later. If she somehow helps you get a visa (papers successfully processed)...the minute you clear immigration you are free to travel to anywhere in the US including Hawaii.....so what wait indoors is she talking about? So you think after 6 months you would be free to go after the American Dream? After 6 months you become out of status...illegal. Then what?...restricted to menial jobs...if you can find one....and that can't maintain you. You would still have to be her slave...and give her a portion of whatever little you earn. She herself may be struggling in the US and is using this as a way of gettting money from you....you agree and she would be asking you regularly to send money to pay fees for processing of travel papers! The grass always look greener on the other side....look well before you leap. My advice...stay where you are.

@OP,

First, the amount you are currently earning is really not much in comparison to your earning potential in the US i.e 75,000 Naira is less than $400 a month. In the US you can earn more than that in a week alone, if you are not lazy. So from the earning perspective US is certainly appealing.

In terms of education and training for your career and personal development, the US will advance you exponentially in a shorter time and with less frustration, if you are a determined and focused person.

So no argument, US is a better location than Nigeria; at least for the above reasons.

However, in order to function and get the best of the US your need your presence in the country to be regulated; otherwise you will regret ever leaving Nigeria.

These are the practical questions you need to ask:
• Is your sister living in the US legally?
• What type of a lifestyle is she living? Is she married? Have kids? Working or on State Benefit?
• What type of permit is she planning to get you, and what is the certainty that it will be successful?
• Are you planning to leave Nigeria on a visa bearing your name and legally issued visa?
• Regularisation of your stay has to be done before your visa expire, so why do you need to HIDE, at least before the visa expires?
• Under the scenario of 'hiding' what are you supposed to be doing in-doors for 6 months?


Your sister is the best person to direct the questions to. Afterwards do your due diligence based upon her responses. If you cannot find satisfactory answers to the above survival’s questions then I will advise you to romantically hug and kiss your 75,000 Naira job until GOD open up better opportunities for you in the future.

Take care and may GOD guide you into the right path for your life.

Please ask your self if you see hope in this Country? How much is 75k? Please take this opportunity with both hands,before you know it you would start a job after getting the papers in the US. I want you to think about the quality of Life that the US offers and not the slave wages being paid in Nigeria. Nigeria jst survived a Civil War by whiskers because God intervened through the US and Britain but there is still tension in the Air.

Just sit down and think about all you have to gain by moving to a more developed and stable country.

May God give you the wisdom to make a good decision.

What do you know about U.S immigration?

Things don't work like that in USA. If there's going to be any papers it would be given in Nigeria. There's no refugee claim in USA unlike Canada
