Getting work visa (H1B)

Visa lottery

Direct relation of a USC ( parents and siblings)

Investor category (E2b or somthing like that)

Those are the ones i am aware of
So it means couples can hardly get a PR
1. You need to be a professional and that no usc or pr can do the job
2. Nigeria is no longer included
3.Some people have no body in US, and even if they do, it might take years
4. You need to invest $500,000 in the US and employ 10 usc or pr

And why should anybody worried about what's going on in the white house??..
AOS has been a standard practice from inception in every country of the world and it shouldn't pose any concern whatever who occupies the white house think or say.
Let everyone do the right thing and you would be fine.

Meanwhile immigration reforms in the united states has been on for years and each administration upon administration has not been able to do much about it except issuing an executive order which only last the lifetime of that administration if not challenged in court.
Immingration reforms is a sole responsibility of the Congress and no party is willing to do something serious about it cos they are afraid of its backlash.
Whatever trump say or think is his own personal opinion which has no bearing on anything at this point.he's just trying to use DACA deal as a means to achieve his sinister motives.Americans are wiser now.

Birthright citizenship can only be abrogated through a constitutional amendment. A majority of the state legislatures (3/4) would have to approve it, and both houses of Congress approve it, before it gets repealed.

Nothing special is happening in my life. It is boring.

3/4 days of work per week

studying for an Exam

Watching so much TV nowadays.

Honestly, i wish i can post all day. But.. life is so boring.

Boredom will get me in trouble.

Here is a little "exciting" story..... (sorry I'm sharing this Mrs K if you read this grin)

My "ex" (*i don't know what to call it cos we never actually dated*) from 3 years ago sent me an email few days ago. she said Nigeria is being talked about in the news and she missed me. She asked when next i'm coming to the US. she would like for us to hang out again.

Mrs K replied with a picture of her flashing her ring grin (she can be petty like that grin). I am waiting for her to reply..

i am bored tho. i have been tracking my application over and over like it will suddenly say "interview Scheduled" grin

BlowJobs:


Wow.. Men.. you are over qualified sef.
Like i advise anyone, Look into Australia and Canada's PR application. going through a process that makes you a Permanent Resident in Western countries is far better than hustling for Work visa of any kind.

Yes, you have a good chance of getting a job in the US. the issue is MOST recruiting IT firm (or any other firm/companies especially Health like Nursing Doctors etc) hardly recruit from Africa ( except maybe South Africa). I know if Nigerian IT engineers moving from the Uk to the US to start another job. i was informed by one of them their work experience in the UK helped and also their location. I will look into this and get back to you. Like i said, i seriously doubt HRs recruit from Naija

I agree with you.
Canada is a much better place for immigrants than the US, especially for one with such high end qualifications

Wheeeeew. And I got to the current page. Interesting thread BJ, kudos. Your stories about Mrs K are intriguing. It's like reading a "James Hardley Chase" novel especially the trip to her hometown... Hehehe. I wish you the best in your union.
I don't think I've read through Nairaland threads like I did yours since I joined in 2006...lol. Although the insults and some child-like behaviors on the way were ridiculous and irritating.
Anyways, be happy and I hope to read the post when you eventually get your status adjusted.

Happy new year.

In my own opinion, the AOS will always be there and nothing will happen to it. The only thing I think that can be the problem is the chain based immigration(filing for siblings or parents). As far as other is concerned, You have no problem. You file, You get your work authorization then your green card and you will be be fine.

One thing I hate about this AOS is it makes you worry so much about little things and always checking for immigration news lol.

You don't have to be worried, You will just be fine

BlowJobs:
Got the marriage license. The first question the clerk asked was if either of us has been married before (if you or your spouse has been married before, they want to see proof of divorce, separation or death cert before they proceed)

it cost $50. Looks like this (sample from the internet)
.

we filled the form, she typed it, show us a sample to confirm the details are correct. She printed it. we signed . she placed it in the envelope then gave us additional information and also list of JP's in the city or we can wait till the end of the month if we prefer to be married in the city hall as they have no free date till then.

Clerk handed it over to Lady K and we left for home. We got home, Lady K went on the citizen and immigration service website to look at the forms, the process and the cost of the Adjustment of Status (i am still yet to familiarize myself with the process i am kinda lazy when it comes to paper work lol). The website has the option of ordering the forms free of charge (instead of printing all the pages) by mail (https://www.uscis.gov/forms).

The next step is calling the JP's to find out their charges and who has the most flexible time for the particular date I have in mind (Lady K's birthday is coming up in few days. She has no idea what i am planning. i don't even act like i remember)

oh, the license is valid for 90days. we have to be married withing 90days (i believe)


okay, if it's going to expire in 90 days and the K1 process takes 5 months to process, would that not mean getting another one? how much effect will this have on the application especially for some of us who because of distance can't necessarily meet out spouses and as such cant 'jointly' go to the license registry

Saw it on CNN yesterday, his wife said d lawyer made a mistake on their 1st filing, seems Dat was d beginning of his misfortune. He was brought to the USA as a 10year old boy and now 39 with 2kids,so unfortunate for him to return to his country like an immigrant
