Well, if he's willing to host you, you wont have to worry about accommodation. Apart from that, you would always have to show you have stronger ties to Nigeria than the US. |

Nairaland is full of dull people. Sometimes I wonder why am I member of this forum. Imagine the kind of comments people put here. Yes, to the OP. Ur chances are high. He can sponsor ur education and provide an accommodation. He will be feeding u with information that will make it easier for u to travel to U.S Alas, he will be sending u dollar, if he is willing and he is successful over there. So, u have higher chances. Don't mind those rubbish some people post here. Just keep praying for ur brother, and work hard on ur own too. Be prayerful and ask for God's grace. prayerful and ask for God grace 2 Likes |

WeRblessed: What are you saying? We pay more of indirect tax in Nigeria. Example: Our calls and data are very expensive, we pay heavily due to communication tax The tax you assume is pocketed is still spent on running gens, repairing cars due to bad roads, paying school fees for high school kids, paying for police investigations , extortions in Nigeria. Do you know how much you will pay police if you get kidnapped in Nigeria? Can you make a statement without paying in Nigeria? 2 Likes |

I don’t know much about immigration but I’m 100% sure your brother can sponsor you since he’s a US Citizen Abeg go Uscis.gov and read for yourself. Some people commenting here tho. Some of them never reach US embassy for 9ja, not to talk of Usa �� and they are here forming immigration lawyer. SMH

It actually takes 12 to 13years when a brother or sister files for someone.. So your sibling(by blood) can file i_ 130 form for you.. Thats f4 category in the visa processing.. You ll have to wait till your priority date(which is the date he filed for you becomes current), which is 12 to 13years from the date... And during those periods, you may not be allowed entrance into America... otipoju: |

chydon22: Please go and sit down somewhere. I dont talk to dullards. Even if you have not gone through the process of getting a green card, at least you can google and read about it. Lazy person. Siblings are entitled to file. The process takes many many years even up to ten as they are the least priority. Let me help you from offical us government website. https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/bringing-siblings-live-united-states-permanent-residents |

Well it depends on your brother. Two options: Visiting by his invitation It can be to your favor or against you. His financial strength and how he became a citizen is a factor too. Filing for your green card and that might take years and also DNA testing, evidence you are related by blood. Like i said might take 1-10 years. But its better you make it on your own. |

internationalman: There's an article on Nairaland some weeks back, a young Mexican serving in the US army was crying that his mother got deported back to Mexico simply because she is an immigrant, with all his connection to bring his mum over the border is futile. So the Yoruba adage mentioned in this discussion is the best answer to your question. 1 Like |

Why is it important that you gain because your brother is in America, why is the benefit important to you, what is more, important is love not benefit 1 Like |

He can file for immigrant visa for you under the f4 category, then they put you on a waiting list for minimum 15 years, if you are patient enough, you can start the process immediately, so the years can start counting. |

sofiscatedmoron: That is not what I mean sir. There are many Yoruba's that assist each other and those that decide not to assist. The Igbo saying you quoted, was basically to disentangle cause and effect..to deliberately remind individuals that there are more to cordiality and family ,which is good but it's not a guarantee that he/she will assist. I have a female friend(from Abia-Ngwa side) whose elder brother had been in Norway(an European citizen) for about 17 years and the siblings have been looking up to him with nothing substantial forthcoming. The lady is surviving on her own with her fashion designer knowledge acquired. She couldn't go to any tertiary institution cos she was advised by the brother to go and learn tailoring. They are just three(himself and two sisters oOo) .Dad and mum has passed away. |

Your brother that is a US citizen can file papers for you to immigrate to the United State. But you have to wait 9 good years. |
