Like is it not possible for me to get a VISA if i'm married to her inclusive of the fact she's also a citizen.

If you're married to her, it's possible.

But from the write up, she wants you to come there before marriage.

Hmmm.... can't stay away from mom?? ...hmmmmmmmmmm. You need to let her know you don't move alone.
If it is your wish to have your kids grow up abroad... is this not a golden opportunity? She is not going to leave nursing abroad to live in Naija... she cannot function as a nurse back home. On marriage... why doesn't she marry in Nigeria?.... then file for you? Don't ever travel because of promise to marry... it may never materialize and you end up trapped. On jobs.... because of COVID-19.... things aren't the same as before... you will have to find out the current situation. Even marriage... these days you just don't walk in to get married. Look well before youbleap.

I am an IT proffessional who work in an Oil Servicing Company in Ph where i earn roughly 400k a month. However i have been in a relationship with this Nigerian American lady who's a nurse abroad and she's been asking me to come over to yankie so we could get married. I kinda told her i love the job i do in Nigeria and am comfortable staying back here. Meanwhile i had always wanted to marry an raise my kids abroad. Moreso, i told her that we could actually get married and she stay abroad while i stay in Nigeria, perhaps visit them from time to time. She told me she wouldn't want to stay away from her husband and that she's been alone for long and would want to marry and come back home to her husband everyday. I asked if it will be possible she relocated back to Nigeria and stay with me, she said no, that it's be better i come to the US were she stays and get another job. I am at dilema cos i sincerely love the lady and i think she does love me back.

My fear is going there to start all over agin, being at the mercy of a woman especially in a land where my parents ain't around, and perhaps not getting a good enough job to start up with.

What do you think guys?

Should i quit my job or the marriage idea?

Don't go anywhere, it's not like you're hungry here in Nigeria

Thanks tho....bt she has no problem coming back to Nigeria to do so anyways. Just that she wouldn't wanna stay in Nija. My company is actually planning to send me abroad for a course, covid stalled it, so the thing is if they spend this much on me, leaving them might not be so easy.

Why not wait and go abroad.... for free.... and upgrade your knowledge... for free.... instead of rushing to go out on a limb with Ms Nurse? While out on the course you will make connections and get a wayyy better perspective on your chances of employment and at what level.

my 2cent advice....find your way to canada. IT job pays more over there and they are in high demand. after some months invite her over, Nurses are also in high demand in Canada

I don't think IT jobs pay more in Canada than US. I know people who have moved from Canada to US because of higher paying jobs. I have a friend in IT planning to move to US from Canada because there are better paying jobs in the US.

It might be easy for her to practice nursing in Canada because she's a nurse in the US but I don't know much about that. I know nurses that worked in the UK, Nigeria, and some other countries find it hard to practice here. It takes some years for them to start practicing.

It is not an easy decision to make. I will suggest you spend more time in knowing her before taking the big step. You can also have a backup plan like postgraduate admission in the US.

You should also research the IT industry in the US to find out what skills and certifications employers are looking for. Then, acquire the necessary skills and certifications before you head out there. In spite of your skills and experience, sometimes you may have to start from scratch. I'm starting from scratch myself.

Make an informed decision. It is risky not to take a risk. Anything worthwhile will cost you something.

All the best!

Stop deceiving him, just because you are working in IT in Nigeria does not mean you will work in IT abroad.

Continue to deceive him.

You go just open your mouth waaaaaaaaaaaa

Who tell you say Nigerian men are dying to go to the US. You that is living in Nigeria how head be you?. All your so called politicians have their families resident abroad you think they are stupid. Nigeria suppose good but anyways for people like you. I am comfortable here, but i would like to build a family and never in this country. Money isn't the thing, i am simply in a relationship with a lady who lives abroad and is doing well for herself. it has nothing to do with Nigerian men dying to stay with women abroad. If you no get better thing to talk keep quiet.

All these your rant shows that you are weak, you will become a house boy soon.

I have never seen any set of men that nag about everything like Nigeria men.

Politician this and that....bla, bla, bla

You are just irritating... God help all men like you..house boy, does not even believe in himself that he can do what he wants without the help or support of no one.

Why don't you save up to get things done instead of depending on one woman abroad that will destroy your self esteem and use you like a prawn.

Shebi, all your guys shout here is how the laws abroad favours women..but you want to jump that wargon, after she oppresses you, then you carry you security job gun to shoot her dead....nonsense.

Men like you are not long term thinkers....nonsense,hypocrite.

The woman is even giving you command that you must come or else...see how you want to wee on your pants because you heard America.

What sort of men are we creating in this country self.
