To begin with, what is he relocating there for? Education or what? Does he have permanent residency or work authorization that would allow him to work legally? If answer is yes to the work authorization question, then the advise below would suffice.

Tell him to learn some Automation Software Testing Tools like Selenium WebDriver or HP UFT. He can also learn some Test Manangement tools like HP ALM or JIRA. I know about all these tools because I work with them and I know how much experts in those tools are being sought on a daily basis.

If he doesn't have the time to learn all the listed tools, he should try and learn Selenium WebDriver and maybe HP ALM.
He can get the Selenium Training video course on www.udemy.com for $10.

He will thank me later.

Let me share a little experience.

I believe traveling to US is not just to visit but to emigrate. it's a nice plan.


I'm less than 26 years of age and before coming to the US, I made sure I learnt how to barb because here in LA, it costs about 20-30 dollar but you'll have to attend barbing school before you can be able to proceed.
If you want it in your home, No problem.


Secondly, tailoring is another business that yields more money. more especially, men's wears(like senators), then for the women too.
If you know how to sow cloth, people will find you from different states.



Thirdly, Bead making is another business. The least I sold then was 85 dollar for a round neck bead.
and lastly, learn how to plait hair. it's a wonderful business. you can do that in your home too.





But right now, I have my papers( a GC holder and I work in one of the supermarkets as a secretary). It all depends on how smart and strong you are. if you can be able to do something, you'll become a better person in less than 2 years but you must work hard.



I bought my first car within my first 7 months in the US because I worked so hard for it.

What if he gets drafted to Iraqi before the 3yrs contract ends


banmee:


Hopefully he is going there with legal status and if he is, his best bet is to join the military. It is the fastest way to land on your feet in America if you are an immigrant. He doesn't need to do it for long. He can start with a three year contract and in that three years, he would build his credit, have enough money for college or complete college and also buy a house.

Is it so easy for any immigrant to just join the military?
There are requirements i believe, is his age not a factor?

Joining the military in the US is not complicated at all as long as you have the legal ground to join and you are of sound health. You can enlist in the military if you are:

1. A US citizen
2. A Green Card holder
3. As a foreign student with abilities to speak one of languages required under the MAVNI program (This MAVNI program was basically for the Army and it's currently suspended).

As it stands currently, you can join any arm of the US military, IF AND ONLY IF, one of the first two requirements listed above is satisfied. After that, you can start considering age limit and other stuffs for qualification.

I stated it in the body of the post

"Automation Software Testing Tools".

They are tools used to automate software testing activities.

Chief, you better remain in Naija. Don't go and be a second class citizen in another man's land. If people outside will tell you what they really go through, nobody will agree to live naija. So, tell your brother to remain here with us bro. If we all run away for these politicians, who will push them to do the right thing. As for me, I was born here, and I am going to die here. Am not going anywhere. By the time you spend a year or two there, you will understand. Good luck �.

You're right man. I've always believed in the naija people even if it meant going seperate ways for the better of all. As much as Buhari is largely incompetent and reactionary, if one wishes to leave Naija's dreadful leadership and lack of opportunity for a better life I'd love it, and I wish more Nigerians and Kenyans would come to America (but no more Somalis please).

As much as I am pro-Biafra until I die, for the sake of Naija people theres a part of me that wishes Nigeria leadership would get it together so the populace can thrive. I doubt Nigeria's leadership ever will so until then I wish I had more resources to help Naijans if they ever come to America. But I hope all remains well while you hold down Naija.

No matter what skill you have in Nigeria before emigrating to the US, once you emigrate your certificates will not be valid. You will need to get the training here and obtain their certification.
Right now I live in the US and I can tell you that the certificates I came with are not valid until I had to do some recertification trainings in the states.
Somebody coming here with an already obtained certificate for some skills can only have the advantage of grabbing the training fast since he or she already has the experience.
Ask your cousin to go learn truck (trailer) driving; that will only help him to grab the CDL-A training fast when he comes to the US. CDL drivers are highly needed in the US. They make good money.
He can also learn e-marketing. With this skill, he can come to the US and be making money on his own as an affiliate marketer. The training requires a good coach that can always put him through in areas he may be having some doubts. It requires absolute mastery otherwise he will be loosing his money and not be making anything and feel frustrated.
He can also come and join the medical field and once he becomes an RN, or obtains his BSN he will all be smiles and be searching for me for appreciation. It may take upto 5 years. But trust me 5 years is not such a long time.

In practicing these skills, does it requires contact with hardware or it's completely a technical skill?

If i may ask, if he joins the military; is he gonna become a combatant?
Can you elaborate please on the process if you don't mind?
It'll be highly appreciated. Thanks
