JaySterling: Hey Guys. I’m currently in the USA on a B1/B2 visa and I just found a way to apply for an ITIN - independent taxpayer identification number. I needed to get this because I cannot get an SSN
I am on a B1/B2 visa and plan on buying a property which is not in violation of my visa
To buy a property I need an ITIN because I would be paying property taxes
NB: I have no intention of living in the USA. I am just buying the property as an investment and I would return to Nigeria and have an agency handle rental and management for me.
Will these cause me to have issues when I’m renewing my B1/B2 visa ?
I’m doing two things -Acquiring an ITIN -Buying a property outright in full (no mortgage)
NB: -I have not violated my visa conditions. There is no where that states that a B1/B2 holder cannot buy property
-I will be returning back to Nigeria after staying about 3 months to acquire my ITIN and buy the property in full. Full amount is available
Please advise, will this pose me any problems with embassy in future?
Because honestly, I’m doing nothing wrong! How is it not in violation of a visiting visa. A visitor buying property! |

free2ryhme: They should come home—Nigeria is not as bad as they think. Life goes on, and they can always start fresh. Yes, deportation has stained their records, but that doesn’t mean the end of the road. Many people have bounced back from worse. Besides, struggling abroad with uncertainty isn’t always better than living with dignity at home.  |

Kenn55: Indians are more hostile to blacks in the west than whites. Sometimes whites may have small conscience but most Indians don't. Despite being immigrants themselves, the black immigrant community can't count on Indians as allies cos they see themselves as superior to us.
Those days, ALL the interviews I went for where an Indian is the hiring manager never worked. The only ones that worked where the ones with white managers.
In a country pushing DEI, these guys will flood everywhere with their people not because they are that good but pure acute nepotism. Go to some Tim Hortons and Walmart stores they are managing, the workers there are 99% Indians including ones that can't speak audible English. What happens to giving 60% of the slot to Indians and 40% to other immigrants?
They show no mercy to other immigrants so I don't give a damn about them too. We didn't come to a white man country only to come and suffer racism from them too in addition to white people. So I clearly understand why folks are calling them out They can be ruthless. Any workplace they capture, it is like a state capture in Nigeria. You see a foreign worker scheming out a citizen in a workplace. I once worked in a bakery in Mississauga where I clearly told the manager that there is a language barrier. These guys refused to speak in English. the manager said to them, Canada has French and English languages and told me I know you won't last here. I said you bet! |

Can anyone who has transferred to cotonou assist me with the overall process and requirements of transferring my case from Nigeria to cotonou?

It is true that some individuals may exploit sensitive locations, such as schools, hospitals, or places of worship, to evade arrest.

osazsky: if u want to know d meaning of treason just ask Congo..179 people killed for treason..u don't know d gravity of wat kannu did...to me Nigeria judiciary is in a mess..in sane countries like Congo and USA people like kanu and Evans suppose dey under ground by now but Nigeria will be waiting for them to repent so that they can release them You can't be messing up a region and folks from there (non docile) and expect hailing all the time. Congo is another unfortunate country like Nigeria. The USA has all it takes to have less rebellious citizens. You still gonna cite it when not having proper education, water, electricity, and future. I only recently realized why Nigerians always have washroom windows, there is no centralized collection of feces and likes. Every compound has a pit or pits! Go and watch Donald trump's speech, if he gets those highlights right, America will become more powerful. Even folks who don't like him or who didn't vote for him will be thrilled. That is what Nigerian leadership needs, even one person can start the peaceful revolution but in Nigeria everyone is just after what they can get. All is moving into APC (a party that shouldn't be winning any position/elections), keeping Igbos and young people down. Allow people and regions to develop as they can or deem fit. I still believe Southeastern governments and governors must do more in the East and not going to Lagos and Abuja or abroad to invest stolen people's wealth. If not, kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry, yahoo yahoo, and incompetency will be flourishing. |

DWJourney: Hi guys,
Please, I will appreciate it if anyone knowledgeable about this can reply.
One of my relatives immigrant visas is on processing. We received a below message even after everything is submitted, now, we are not really clear on how to specifically attend to this. There's no any family member that can stand as a sponsor again here.
Instruction received:
" The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: Other income, Assets, Proof of current employment. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview "
My question, is it also possible to attach bank statement of the sponsor showing savings to that can cover the remaining fund required?
And, is there anyway we can contact CEAC?
This petition was filed in Dec 2022 and we are only waiting for this Mama interview date in Lag.
@Taal17, @Aestake , please guys
Thanks Yeah, you need a joint sponsor who must not be a family member; LPR or USC. They too will submit their tax returns of three years and must have made enough and their household will be stated and examined by USCIS and/or embassy in Lagos. The savings and other income, Assets, Proof of current employment should help especially at the embassy since the case has been approved long ago. You can still upload these on the ceac site and go with the hard copies on the interview. |

Thomthom: Are you saying parents should dispose of the remaining two, If they are four kids. You people should not be talking like this, unless the family is extremely poor I may suggest one or two kids. But if the parents are trying, four kids are good. I have seen a family that it's the last born that took the responsibility of his Age parents out of 5 kids. I have seen parent mourn the only son they have at old age. To cut story short, if extremely poor, no even bring children come life make them go suffer. But if they are trying, at least 4 kids no too much. Quote me anywhere He is struggling because of the number of children and corruption in Nigeria. Having children to take care of you at old age is another fuckkup. |
