Hello nairalanders, my brother has a U.S citizen 'friend' who wants to help him get a green card/permanent residence. My brother is 24years old while his friend (female) is 34years old. She doesn't know how to go about applying for a green card and what route of application to use. So, can you please advice on how she can go about applying/processing the green card for him. Expecting your replies, thanx.

Ok

I guess your brother met her online and she wants him to come over? She has to visit ur brother in Nigeria and they probably get married b4 talking about visa. No friend can apply for permanent resedence for him while he still in Nigeria and not married to USA citizen.

he can only get a K-1 visa in nigeria and trust me, US embassies in Nigeria hardly issue k-1 visas to nigerians and this is one of the reasons.

haba John kent I have several friends here thru K1 or K3 , I agree rejection rate is high . but what they usually try and establish is compatibilty . The 10 year gap between the Sponsor and the naija guy will be a red flag. otherwise google US Fiancee visa and you are good .

Countries with traditionally high volumes of visa applicants are NOT eligible to apply. Thus, high volume visa applicants from the countries listed in this paragraph are NOT permitted to apply. Everyone else in the world not mentioned can apply. So, people from the near Caribbean such as Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica are NOT eligible to apply. Not all immigration applications must be filed by a U.S. employer. Green card self-sponsorship may be available to certain investors and business executives as well as highly accomplished scientists, researchers, and artists. These groups may also be eligible for temporary visa categories that can be self-initiated such as the "E" and "Q" classifications. In addition, the State Department administers a diversity visa "lottery" program for nationals of certain countries. The lottery is free and makes available 55,000 green cards each year. A list of countries whose "natives" are ineligible to participate in the lottery program is available.

Friendship might that hard, really really hard. If the friend is female, let her marry your brother and bring him over to the US as spouse or husband. Meanwhile get more information on www.touristvisas.info
