Fortsucc: Please forumite, I am confused about something, the yellow envelop that was given to us along with our passport,the white sheet that was attached to it that contained some information was collected from us by the immigration officer at the poe. My question now is our we not going to use the information on the sheet for our gc registration? Please advise us,thanks.

Hello u shall hand it together with the envelope at the port of entry to immigration so take good care of it and the envelope.it it got missing u are finished.

Fortsucc: Please i want to make confirmation, i want to buy a phone should i come and buy it over there or i shld buy it here before coming down,pls which one is preferrable? Cos someone said is cheaper there,Thanks.

It is far preferable for u to buy ur phone there, phone here is very expensive, only thing is that buy a compatible phone, u will need just to buy only a simcard here and it will ease u.

@adesojiaderemi:
Baba, thanks very much. You've been so helpful.

Hello house i greet u all thanks for all the advices and supports given so far.Is there anyone that can help with job search on computer technician or any job training center or recruitment companies pls help i live in Maryland job search is not quite easy, i am prepare to do any offer, security jobs anything.Thanks.

Gbabe 2:


A piece of advice for new immigrants.
We are 9 months old here in United States of America and i can tell you guys that God has been very good to us.
Dont ever you loose your focus.Here in United States,you can start small and become exceptionally great within a twinkle of an eye without robbing people.
Be very mindful of your confession.Even in difficult times learn to say positive things to yourself.
Be mindful of people you discuss your plans with.Here in US,there are a lot of dream killers.They aint going anywhere and will do all within their powers to discourage people.
As for me and family this land will favor us IJN.
After 7 months of desperately looking for jobs,over 40 different interviews i just got a lucrative job (Audit Job).
I will be based here in Baltimore,MD but i will travel to 4 different continents for my assignments.

New immigrants,your story can be different,please don't loose hope.I started as a Residential Program Technician (Direct Care) with Chimes Inc but now levels don change finally by Gods grace.
Be hopeful and add value to yourself.God will see us through,

Cheers

Hello thanks very much for ur post it just added more relief and smiles on our faces knowing all will be fine, i have seen that truly one has to focus very well, looking for a job is not really quite easy.

sendtodeji:

Anything that has IT in it is lucrative. It all depends on how much time you have to give to learning a marketable skill. Anything is achievable. If you search some of my posts, you will see some recommendations that I've made. You can PM me for more information.

Hello thanks for ur post, pls i live in Maryland i wish to know where i can take a training on IT can someone help me out,also can i go get my US ID with my SSN and passport.

femishow2005:

@Uncle Soj and 24en.. But during the interview the CO usually advise one should try to pay before leaving.what could be their reasons for such advice??

yes the co is right but if the credit card u are using there and ATM is not going through u can come and do it here, but i believe ur host can help u pay it here in state that will be very nice before u coming , because u can only pay it online.it is actually good to pay it while being at home but if u cannot ,u can come and do it here, there is no problem with that ,i do mind here dear, but however that will only be if u cannot pay it at home.

Fortsucc: @adesojiaderemi,Good morning and thanks for the reply. Please it will take up to how many month for someone to stay before getting a job? How much should the family of two hold as pocket money?thanks.

All that depends on the time u got ur SSN, and how smart u are to search for jobs, also if ur host is a cooperating one, i think he or she will help u do many things like directing u on how to get alone , here u will required some training before u can get a job but it also still depends on how lucky u are because u might stil get a job without any training.for money hold as much as possible but it should not exceed $10,000 because will declare .must job here needs a driver's license and a car but the license it must important if u can get a driving license before coming here it will ease u very much to obtain a driver's license here because u just need to do the computer test and after that u go for driving test and have ur license which will help u get a good job.

adesojiaderemi@:


I will advice you come over here and do it, even if you do it back home, you have to get here before the processing begins.

it ok if u can come and do it here i did mind here but if u can do it that way it fine also but the truth about it is that progressing will start only after u have arrived here in US.

oyidiyaagbayi: I think it all depends on you but if you don't start now you will wait till next year.

the issue at hand is that it seems i will need some money before i can go about, even though i really wanted it now .

oyidiyaagbayi: you have to go to any social security office nearest to you to register for your ssn that will make it faster. I have not receive my GC but there's an information on my visa about that so you don't have to worry about that. For the financial aid you will not have it if you show any certificate higher than waec u will only get a loan which you must pay back. I am in North Carolina and I was advised to go to a community college because its cheaper and their courses are short term. I want to go for a two year nursing program.

thanks very much for the reply i shall go the office and registered for my ssn, i was also advices of that community college also i want to study IT.i was thinking as soon as i got my ssn i will look for a job before i start to on which college to attend.

adesojiaderemi@:


congratulations on the new arrival.

congratulations.

oyidiyaagbayi: No, am only 2 weeks old in Us and I have applied 2 a school , financial aid for my education, submitted my waec result because I have 2 be a secondary school holder 4 me to qualify 4 the financial aid , so I didn't show my degree result. Maybe this week I will take the accuplace test 4 them to know where to place me. I am not working yet, so I also applied 4 food stamp and medical insurance to show how I intend to survive for the time being.

hello i am very grateful for ur post , i have been member of this house for long, i am now in US i am exactly two weeks today and i have not received my SSN and GC also i had to come and pat the usics fee but here, i live at maryland with my Anty i am an IT technician i wish to know on how to go about getting a job, i heard i need to attain some training and got some certificate, pls can someone help me how to go about this training centers., also pls i want to enroll to school how can i go about the aid and financial assistance.thanks.

lorddom: dont worry brother all is well the truth is your tense but if all your ducument are clear you will be issued without stress there are no complications in cameroon.the day of my interview i was number22 and i didnt see any dv lottery winner being denied a visa even those fancophones.every thing wil be fine ok trust me and keep in touch.

Thanks for the courage dear one, all my documents are clear it is just the tense but with people like u who gives courage and meaning for other people life , i belief all shall come to pass in good faith before we actually know it in Jesus name.

lonpy lonpa: For 24en and all of you guys whose interview has been reschudled i tell you that all of you will have your visas approved come august 03rd. The Almighty God we serve knows exactly why that had to happen and all He is asking of you is to exercise a little bite of patience and everything will be ok I promise you dat. I can tell you one simple fact that is all the COs at the embassy are good COs so long as you speak the truth and nothing but the truth. I can bear with u guys that being patient is not easy but please you guys should just take it that way and wait u will realise that time will fly as quicklyas possible. We should always give thanks to God no matter the situation we find ourselves in he will always make a way out of it. GOODLUCK ONCE MORE TO YOU GUYS AS YOU GO AND GRAP YOUR VISAS. Amen//
