Hello All,

This thread is dedicated to people who would like to share their employment based immigration stories and pathway for others to learn.

I stand corrected, but I believe one field of USA legal immigration that is not very known to professionals and advanced degree holders in the Nigerian community is the EB-1 and EB-2 NIW route by which a person can self-petition for permanent residency (Greencard).

Below are helpful links that provide broad information on this category.

More information specific to EB-1 and EB-2 NIW self petition without a US employer are found in the additional links below.

Quick question for those doing Masters in the US:

For those that don't have sponsors.... How do you raise funds over there to pay your fees?

Does all F1 visas carry a work permit? If yes, is the pay enough to cover your tuition and other expenses?

Kindly reply.

Now what suggestion will you guys give to someone with a regular oct date in Abuja who has been denied EA and he has funding that will be taken from him if he did not resume in this fall 2022 extension of resumption date not granted too?

CreativeWeb:
Northeastern Illinois University has Msc in Biology. GRE not required. GPA of 3.0 required. Scholarship is available. You can apply anytime of the year.

There are schools in US that are looking for students, even if you have third class. Just spend time and Google.

If you search and shortlist at least five schools and send email to the department or the professor you will like to work with, and apply, you will get great offers.

These things are not rocket science.

I'm getting ready for my PhD in the US. I sent cold emails to professors of five schools. I got response from all of them. I have had Zoom virtual meetings with three of them. Live video conversations that lasted up to an hour per person.

Just make your research. Northeastern Illinois University even accepts CGPA of 2.75.

Hello everyone,

So I have a question regarding visa dates. My brother was denied his visa early this month. We re-applied, but getting a date has been an issue. The portal for Abuja keeps saying "there are no appointments available".

Is anyone in the same situation? Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thank you for your response.

Amazingoreofe:
Please has anyone travelled to the US with an infant?
Are there any vaccines or regulations with travelling with an infant?

Thank you very much as I anticipate response

aeeshcrystal:
Hello Chibertha. Please can I DM you? Thank you in advance.

Plannie22:
I don’t believe this. When you book an appointment, it shows on your CGI portal. Is it that he did not even bother to check his CGI to confirm the date that the agent claimed to have booked for him? Also, you send the booking confirmation to yourself and the email sender will be CGI/US embassy email. He did not ask the agent to do this from his portal? Very relaxed and trusting o.

Chikeluba25:
Good day all.
Please I am finding it difficult to pay my SEVIS fee through westerunion after generating remitta. Please I need help on how to go about it?

MzWendy:
Hi guys. Please can I defer my admission before or after securing an interview date? I applied for an expedited appointment but no response yet and I’m to resume 16th August. Do I defer now or wait till I get a date?

Joezinho:
Hello chibertha. I requested for form A and it won't be ready anytime soon.. Means I have to leave before it gets approved..

Do I have to pay part of my fees before leaving Nigeria to avoid issues at POE? And do you have any idea about the COVID vaccine test for those traveling to the USA?

Thanks.

missuzoma:
The name of the school is Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.; course is MFA Creative Writing; specialism is Poetry. OK

RaniOpe:
It's you that's stealing all the dates on the portal with bots account abi?
So you can sell it out

Plannie22:
Hi Everyone, my friend had an interview earlier this week in Lagos and was issued a white paper under the section 221(g) because the visa officer wanted him to provide additional documents. Please does anyone know how he can schedule another interview so that he can bring the additional documents to the officer and get his visa. Also does he need to pay a new MRV receipt?
I really hope that he doesn’t have to go and select a date using the regular scheduling cause there are no dates�.

Grateful for a prompt response because resumption is around the corner.

jOSHBOYY:
How long did it take for them to process your EA request?
To the best of my knowledge you can only request for EA once per each visa application.
