No because I’m an American citizen. My knowledge of visas is because a quarter of my cases involve immigration law.
The visa interview is easy.

Also want to ask about IOE********** starting receipt number for I-797C notice of action, for someone with such receipt number, do you think their case will be process faster as compare to having a particular service center receipt number?

That’s good to hear. Just kinda curious to also hear from Nigerians H1B visa recipients who have gone through their visa stamping in US embassies in Nigeria.

1stGenAmerican:
If the employee is outside of the US, the employer has to file form I-129 on behalf of the employee. Once it’s approved the employee has to use the approved I-129 and file for the H-1B.
The employee has to work for the original employer in order for the life of the H-1B visa. In order to change jobs, a different process is followed. Not complying is a major cause of H-1B visas being cancelled/revoked.

Thank you for your comment @1stGenAmerican, have you at any point been a recipient of H1B visa?
If yes, what was your interview process like?

I have searched through Nairaland and I couldn’t find any helpful thread dedicated to US H-1B visa category. So I am creating this thread to help those that may have any questions relating to this non-immigrant work visa category.
Please for anyone that has gone through the process as a Nigerian, your input will be of great help to a lot of people in this visa category.
Kindly share your petition filling experience, the visa stamping process in US embassy in Nigeria and lot more that people could benefit from.

Brief about the H-1B Visa

The H-1B program allows companies and other employers in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers in occupations that require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or higher in the specific specialty, or its equivalent

Yeah this is true, same thing happened to me when buying hosting package from namecheap...no pin, just the card details without the pin

Touchypro:
You are a liar, I used my GTB card to buying hosting package from namecheap and it was debited no pin was requested or otp was sent, just the number on the front and bank with the name on card. It was even more shocking because the address I used is different from the one on the card but it was still fluidly debited.

Exactly this same issue happened to my roommate, his phone was snatched on Sunday and he didn't even took it serious by blocking all his bank account and all, he waited till Monday and went to the ATM to withdrew money so he could go and buy another phone. It was at that point he noticed that most of his funds had been withdrawn. He complaint to the bank and the bank was asking for police report and all for the stolen phone, they thought it was a joke...He wrote NIBSS, wrote CBN narrating his ordeal that how could someone that doesn't know his pin could have performed such fraudulent act if not that their system isn't secure...The case was dragged for over a month, but in the end they paid him his 440k withdrawn fraudulently + 100k inconvenience fee ( that's not the actual name)... But had to do with the emotional instabilities that he might have gone through. So please press a hot charges against them, they don't like such

Congratulations to the lad.

Hello Romancelanders,

Please help me! I have a very serious issue on my hands. I opened this account because of this, for advice from you. It's actually a long story, but I will try to keep it short.

I have been in a relationship with my gf for 3yrs+ now. We had both not been ready for marriage at the time. She said she had things that she wanted to achieve so she would give herself 5yrs. I felt the same way too but I was looking at my age to settle down as 29 or 30. She was almost 21 at the time, I was 24 at the time.

When I met her she was a shaken, frightened, stubborn and love-starved young lady. Her parents were trying to force into marriage with a "family friend's" son whom she did not like plus she was not ready to settle down at the time. Her father is a retired military man and would use extreme measures like locking her up in a room for days. Anyways, I supported her in everyway I could at the time even at a time meeting the so-called "family friend's" son. I did not intend to get into a relationship at the time but certain things happened and I began to fall in love with her plus she needed love and care so badly. She is a very smart, motivated and beautiful young lady.

We got into a relationship and with time, the pressure as regards marrying the guy died or so I thought. From then till now, we have both been striving hard to make things get better. She was trying to run a business while I was working at a small magazine company. Unfortunately I admit, even though I was not earning much at the magazine, I was careless with my finances. I would spend on her, us and on a couple of mundane things but the bulk was on her and us.

Well, the financial crunch hit and I lost my job being owed several months in back-salary. I had very little savings. Things were not going too well with her in her business either. And so what little savings I had plus borrowed money from my parents joined with her own funds(including borrowed money), we started a business. We have been almost a year into the business now. Things are so dull. She hardly comes to the office anymore. I manage to go with little funds raised from teaching at minor places plus my parents support. We have been trying a "new" field though which seems a bit positive.

You have the back story now. Here is the problem.

Of recent, her body language and speech + whatsapp chat seemed to be dodgy, non-committal and atimes even coated with disdain. I knew something was wrong. I had wanted to talk to her and she said she wanted to discuss something with me as well, but she had basically refused to show-up when I call her out. Well, I was not so much a fan of going to her house because of chances of meeting her mum plus her several siblings But I braved it and showed up at her house on Sunday. I asked her what the matter was.

She told me of how her family was pressuring her and almost everyone she met was telling her to try and settle down. She said how she knows that I am not ready to settle down anytime soon. She said she had been praying about it and she has received an answer that she should settle down and that she do so before this time next year. She wants to get married before her birthday. People, she said several things and I said several things and I walked out angrily and dazed but I just gave the highlight of the issue. I could not wrap my head properly around it for a while but later I calmed down and I asked her a few questions.

It seems her mind is made up on marriage. She says she would prefer if it was me because she loves me, but if not, it is the will of God. She said some other things. I am just dazed and I don't know how to take it or how to act or what to do.

My life is not where I want it to be. I don't have the resources to turn things around right now. I am in a quagmire. Please Help!

Please and please, before you ask her the four words question, will you marry me? Make sure you are financially stable, if you don't want her to hate you for the rest of life. You have proven to her over time by spending much of your salary on her, and now that things aren't going as as expected, please be careful of your decision, don't say because she is being pressurized to get marry that you will give in, please don't. you have to get what you relatively think you are okay with before settling down. kindly follow your heart

Why not, i know weda na me tell God when i dey come world say na ssce holder i wan marry. Sanyeri (a yoruba actor) isn't educated but married a unilag graduate.

interesting, what many have forgotten is the fact that schooling is different from education. Majority of Nigeria graduate doesn't even use their mind.

The scope of front-end development is huge. To be a good front-end web developer, you need to learn a few scripts from the scratch. Yes, I am talking about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can start with HTML basic tags and then go with detailed HTML and CSS. Here is an extensive front-end web development checklist for a beginner.



1. HTML
Most of the modern browsers support HTML5. That's why a fresher should start with HTML5 basic tags. Study and practice all the HTML5 elements. For development work, you may not have sufficient time to Google any tag or attribute. Use sticky notes or printed materials to memorize the critical tags and attributes.



2. CSS
Once you acquire a good knowledge of HTML5, start learning CSS3. Note that, CSS is harder than HTML. Most of the smooth animations and effects are now made using CSS. Explore Codepen and Tympanus. There are many HTML/CSS tips, tricks and examples. After learning CSS, let’s walk to the real world. Yes, now you need to try to convert PSD files to HTML templates. It must be responsive, remember!



3. JavaScript and jQuery
It’s time to play with JavaScript, JS library and jQuery. You can find tons of resources online. The best resource for jQuery is its documentation. Develop a few little plugins using jQuery. Learning jQuery is full of fun.



4. Front-end Frameworks
Front-end frameworks are very popular these days. Almost all of the websites are now using front-end frameworks for faster development process. Twitter’s Bootstrap and Skeleton are two of the most popular front-end frameworks. Both are almost similar but Bootstrap is considered to be the best for its rapid development time and huge functionalities. After completing HTML, CSS and JavaScript steps, front-end frameworks would take a few days to be at your fingertips.



5. Templating Engine
Templating engine is new a trend and the future of web development. The rapid growth of web applications has created a field for templating engines. In the near future, a big number of websites and web applications will run on a backend language and a front-end JSON-based template. The backend system will only provide the data via JSON or XML and the front-end will have a template engine to put the data inside the HTML structure. AngularJS and React are the future big web technologies. So study them.



6. Tools
i) Editor

Sublime text, WebStrom, and Atom are three of the most popular text editors. These editors have a range of shortcuts for faster development. Learn and practice them. I personally use Sublime Text 3. It has some awesome packages. The tool is very lightweight.



ii) Version Control

Use this element for version control purposes. Github and Bitbucket both have private repository service. Github private repository is paid and Bitbucket offers this service free for 5 users.



iii) Browser & Extension

In my opinion, Google Chrome browser is a nice choice for front-end web development. It has a ton of useful extensions like Firebug, ColorPick, JSONView, Page Ruler, Web Developer etc.



iv) Task Runner

Task runner is a must have element for any front-end developer. Most of my known developers use Grunt. It helps you do the minification, compilation, unit testing, linting etc.



Web development technology trend is always changing, so stay in touch with the trend. Also follow my handle to get the latest updates
