Guys in Yankee that need extra cash and have a valid US Drivers license and SSN, sign up for Amazon Flex, a minimum of $1800 a month is guaranteed. Just google Amazon flex and sign up. 1 Like 2 Shares |

So I have been in the states for 2 months now. My initial school was Upper Iowa University but I transferred to Everett Community College because the fees was crazy and the scholarship I was given at Iowa was not full with some hidden charges. I still get to pay $22k+ (with the scholarship). Here in Everett, it's just $18k for the year and I can pay per quarter which is really nice. It has been good for me so far. School starts next week. If you are pursuing something related to tech, you should come to Washington. Washington State University or maybe Seattle University. The tech space here is amazing. After San Francisco, Seattle is the next Silicon Valley plus it is cheaper to live here and there is a higher rate of getting a job. Microsoft, T-Mobile, Amazon, Boeing all have their HQ here. I just finished an internship program with a startup in Seattle. Yh, one more thing for those coming to the states, if the International Drivers License is allowed where you are going, you should get one from Naija. I got mine for ₦15k. I got a Corolla for $850 including title and stuff and it has really helped me. You know I get to help people deliver stuff once in a while for $20/hr. So every extra bucks count. I'm just saying this because a lot of people don't consider Washington State and there are loads of opportunities here. I just wanted to keep you guys updated and I promise to stay active here so I can give back and help the little way I can just as @texrem and everyone else here helped me out. #Naija4Life 45 Likes 5 Shares |

I arrived USA yesterday. POE was New York. Program start date is 23rd of August and my school is in Iowa, and I didn't even purchase a connecting flight because it was darn expensive from Naija, so I was expecting many questions. But to my surprise, I was only asked two questions: 1) What are you here for? 2) Do you have any drugs with you? I said yes, Anti malaria drugs. He asked to see them and that was it. The guys at the customs just collected my passport and didn't even check my luggage. In JFK, if your bags are heavy, you will need a trolley which you have to pay $5 for, I tried to use my card to pay but Couldn't. A bulgarian lady used her card to pay for me. Then I exited the building and headed to Terminal 2 where I purchased flight ticket to Des Moines, Iowa for $242. I paid $60 for my luggage ($30 apiece) My flight was delayed 1 hour, so I got to Iowa late around 12am. I had booked a room on Airbnb. The "landlady" was kind enough to come pick me up at the airport. I only paid $25 for the room, but she is so nice. She even offered me Dinner and a hot Chocolate drink last night. I will be staying here till School Orientation in August 20th 43 Likes 2 Shares |

Visa Approved! 6.30am Transcript. So I stayed in one of the hotels mentioned here: Semi Ramis on Hawley Street, Obalende. Room is ₦4.5k with A/C Couldn't sleep, was just singing praises and asking God for favor (I need to stress this part) Left the hotel around 4.30am, dropped my phone with the hotel receptionist. Got to Walter Carrington around 4.45am. I was the first person there. I just started gisting with the MOPOL Officers there. The whole process started around 6am I was the second on the queue. The lady in front of me went to a white lady, while the Chinese guy called me. VO: Pass me your i-20 and Intl Passport (no good morning orishirishi) I passed the docs. VO: How did you get to know about the school? Me: My cousin, who is an alumna of the school strongly recommend it and I also checked collegefutureboard and common app to see if the school meets my career goals. VO: You are 24, why are you just going for your BSC? Me: Upon graduation from Sec School in 2008, I did an OND in computer science for two years and a compulsory one year internship where I worked as a Data Entry Personnel. Then I went ahead to do an HND in the same course for two years. I later enrolled in computer school for a year and took my SAT in between. VO: Why are there so many inconsistencies in your story? You just kept skipping programs, you didn't finish any. How am I sure you are going to finish your program? Me: I did finish. Diplomas are not longer than 2 years and I did two before I went to Computer school? VO: What's the name of the computer school? Me: *I just went blank* VO: What's the name of the computer school? Me: The computer school is in Lagos. VO: What is your major? Me: Information Technology. VO: How sure am I that you will come back? What will you be doing after the program? Me: I intend working in a top tech company in Nigeria as a world class software developer, because we have just a few software developers in the country and I want to bridge that gap by becoming a solution provider. VO: Be honest with me. Did you work at all? Just be honest. Me: Yes I did, but they were volunteer jobs and I wasn't paid for those gigs so I didn't include it on my DS 160. VO: Enjoy your stay in the US. Me: What?? VO: I said Enjoy your stay in the US. I really benefited from all the transcripts dropped here. At some point I wanted to scream "any Nairalander in the house?" but fear no gree me. Please and Please try to do a mock interviews before your appointment. Pray too biko. I was just favored by God today. My voice just dey shake. Special thanks to @texrem and @Adewotired. 31 Likes 2 Shares |
