My advice to those that Change their address @ de port of Entry to a new address and is expecting to get their Green Card at the new address
make sure u call them also.
Changing ur address @de port of entry alone may not work.A friend of mine that came earlier to changed is addy @port of entry and the GC was still sent to the Old addy.
Have a nice day.

(Military things on my mind now)

adesojiaderemi@:


Sorry to hear about that, you can still go ahead with your job search and other activities with your Naija pali or one year. You can file for replacement of green card with form I-91.
Hello Sir
Well just help me thank God i have received my GC.
I went with my host to the former address this saturday morning Oct 19 and the place was been renovated by the new owners of the House.
So they allowed him to check de drawers inside and he now saw 4Letters belonging to me from USCIS.Had it been i have not gone to check the mails may dropped into the trash.That was my fear
God is really faithfull.Thank you all for ur advice.

Alot of things went tru my mind wen this happened.
When i called USCIS the said i should book an appointment in their office but the lady then said i may have to request for anoda one @$450.
My people where i go get that kind money now wen i neva even start work.
Or should i get the services of a lawyer to argue my case.

My host said he gone to the post office to do Change of address.So as a result any letter bearing his name that is comming to the
old address is rerouted to the new address.
so in the envelope that came from the USCIS it was addressed

Chio UZ................(ie my name)
C/O xyz JOxxxxxxx (My host name)
66XX Rhinelander Avenue (Old Address)
Bronx NY
My question is why was it nt rerouted.Well to cut the long story short.
My Host went to the Old address and Collected the Letter.
I thank God for his mercies so far.
Remaining my SSN

hello Forumites
Still need your advice on what to do concerning my Green Card.
I told u earlier that i called USCIS office and the gave me a tracking number to track my green card i tracked it and found out it was delivered on the 28th of sept to my Host former address.
I called the Post office they said they have delivered it to the given address.
We have gone to the former address to see if i we can meet the new occupant but it seems no one has fully packed in but it seems someone comes to pick mails from the mail box.
My host droped a letter in his post box dat someone was expecting a letter dropped @this address pls could u call this number
wen we went back the 3rd time the note has been taken with other letters there but no one has called since 3days now.
Pls what do i do

I also changed my address @the port of entry wen i arrived @JFK but wen i called USCIS they did nt effect the change the still went ahead to post it to the old addy
am confused now
called post office they said the delivered it to that addy

Well for me i use boss revolution.An i think it is pretty much better.lust checked their website and compared it to that of Raza Card.
For boss revolution u get $10 card to call for 200Mins for 5cents/min
For Raza card u get $10card to call for 150mins @5.6 to 6cents/min.
so boss revolution is better.

Religion / Re: Is It Wrong To Worship In One Church And Pay Tithe In Another Church? by chio: 12:42pm On Sep 29, 2013
Its wrong.You pay your Tithe in your Church where you worship because thats where you get your spiritual nourishment.

You can decide to make a donation,or goodwill offering or even sowing a side in another Church if you are lead to do that but certainly not yo ur tithe.
(For instance i can not be in lagos worshiping in my Church and then send my Tithe to my Village church.The best i can do to help the other church is to make a free will donation to any other Assembly as you are lead )

Happy Sunday

Politics / Re: USA Minimum Wage Vs Nigeria Minimum Wage. by chio: 11:48am On Sep 15, 2013
Most people in the USA may be making money but may nt have enough to send home esp wen u are doing this hour job.
the cost of living in usa is also quite expensive.
to have a haircut in the say in NY u pay $15 around N2400
to go to work my friend uses de train he pays $2.5 to go and $2.5 to return so $5 a day apart from local transportn to his house.
to activate a line say for unlimited local call,500mb data,unlimited text u will have to pay like $40 (N6400)monthly(Simple mobile)
unlike in nigeria where u can buy a sim N100 and pay for BB plan N1500 which like ($10)

For one to survive in america u may have to go school so as to make ur pay/hour go up
there equally loans u can get wen u finish school u start paying gradually.
also the schools there dont go on strike so wen u enta for a 4year course and u are studious
u would graduate in 4years time.

Pinky111: must you in the name of comenting resort to spew abomination? prayer works, stop wallowing in illusion and think straight. Saying prayer does not work is like God does not exist. Well, i dont even know the last time you prayed that is if you even believe there is God. Retract your step bfore its too late.

He who has ears let him hear.
I just hope wen MJBUSA will have a lifechanging encounter with Christ he would still come here and retract his statement and aswel apologise to those he blindly deceived.
I just just pray he has the opportunity before its too late.
Pls let me mindful of what we spew out in public.
Have a blest day.
Jesus Loves u and he is comming soon he does want our souls including urs to perish.

I have on experience i want to share and dont know whether i have experinced it to.
My host doing is PHd in a college here in New york so instead of staying @home we go out together using the train
on getting to the school his signs me in (i show my int.passport and then they give me a pass)to use the School library.
so before i enter the computer Library the receptionist sees my pass which i pasted on my breastpocket and now opens the door for me to enter the library.
This i have done for like 2days.
So on the 3rd day afta getting a pass as i normally do i now went to the receptionist (The receptionist there that day was a black guy) to open the library door for me to enta the library,the guy was looking and my pass and reading everything there he said my pass was reading Physis astronomy that i may have to go dowm and get a pass for the Library.I was supried i told him i have been using the Library for the past 2days and this was the only pass i was using. he refused.
So i had to trace my host Laboratory(i have nt gotten a fone yet) and told him what the guy said.He was suprised and said that we blacks sometimes we overdo things.
so we went back to me him and he told him that he was a staff there there (Showed him his ID) and there was no extra pass needed,for me to use the library.so he let me and my host went back.
so dats what happened whats your say on this

Well i just arrived and am using my host phone for now,for the best network i cant really say and the packages they have
but its not like naija where u just see different network sim on the street.
I came in with emirates lagos to NY via dubai.
We were told upon landing that customs will do a random check and some names were also called.We were told to hold our passport and a form given to us to fill.
We then walked straight to the airport there are different lines i think for Residents,Visitors,diplomats
but those on a visa lottery with the brown envelope on official took us to anoda room where we submitted our brown envelop and our passport stamped.
from there i now went to take my luggage dats what i experienced.
someone told me they sieze food stuff but my luggage was nt checked on landing,just carried my luggage and left.that was my experience.
