emybaby2: Plz that one is a big lie. When i registered for the lottery, i registered alone but when the result came out and i won, i called the kccdv at kentucky and they said i can include my husband provided i bring a proof of my marriage during the interview. I send the forms to them eventhough i made lots of mistakes and resend it 3 times. They still took it. The 2NL came with my husband as the beneficiary.
If the man had not send his form yet to kcc or he send it before and the 2NL is not given to him, let him resend it with the name of his wife and children. Goodluck to him.

Opoki: thanks brother.
I've been having a sleepless night for days, my wifey stood on her feet, she said is either we all go together or no one leaves. I knew it requires alot of money but it was so embarassing to think i'm running away from the responsibility.

sabbath7th: If you already have a immigrant visa and have authorization to work in the US, you'll need to go to Social Security Administration and get you a SS number and card. To work legally the employer have to fill out I-9 and you have to show 2 forms of ID.

sabbath7th: Strictly online. You work from home, you'll need a high speed Internet and land phone. Let me ask you this, are you in the US? If not don't bother. For more info go to westathome.com and click become an agent.

chirpywest: Compliment of the season to all member of the house. Sometime ago I came across a post here in nairaland where someone living in the state was saying that he is doing online job and that the money he is making is big enough to the extent that his wife never worked since he entered the united states. I wrote and asked him to email me the nature of the job once its genuine cos Iam interested but never heard from the guy till date. Please if there is anyone with useful information about such job let the person share his/her idea here to the benefit of all so that guys can be doing the job and have more time for other things please. Thank you.

MA is awesome in non-winter months. The other seasons are quite beautiful here. There's lots to do, parks are beautiful, lots of museums to see and history to check out. When winter hits, it's a different story for me. I don't feel like getting out in freezing temps and I end up spending a lot of time inside. If you are looking to move up here and you were born and raised in warm weather like me, I rec you come up for a visit for a few days during winter before making your decision to move,the average rent is over $1,000 for just a one bedroom apartment. Utilities are not bad but its best if you can find a rental that includes heat and hot water. That will help. Boston is a great walking town.
Which city do u leave in MA? Boston or where
Minimum wage in MA is $8/hr, unemployment rate is 6.6 percent which is better everything about MA is awesome except for the freezing cold.

adesojiaderemi@:
Wherever the cost of living is high the take home pay always make up for it,so heat lost =heat gain

I live in Massachusetts, is a U.S. state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. It is bordered by Rhode Island and Connecticut to the south, New York to the west, and Vermont and New Hampshire to the north; at its east lies the Atlantic Ocean. Massachusetts is the 7th least extensive, but the 14th most populous and the 3rd most densely populated of the 50 United States.

axponline: I have read this type of thread many times in the past without commenting. Here are the points to note

Many Nigerians come to the US after between the ages of 25-35 and some even in thier 40's. For these folks, its like life is starting all over again.
America is about careful planning. The system is built on careful planning and the concept of you get what you have earned. I used to work in Nigeria in a bank where you would get your housing allowance in Jan as a lump sum. You can never get that kind of cash in the US unless
a) you borrow
b) you steal
c) win the lottery

Carefully plan each dollar making sure you save at least 20cents on each dollar and when the hard time comes (and they will come) you have a fall back position.
If you anticipate a major expense coming up, plan for it. (i.e save)
I appreciate the fact the America has gotten harder in the past few years. The jobs available are often high skill jobs in IT and health care etc. The usual low skill service jobs that many of our folks get stuck with are getting few abd far between. The idea is to continually improve your self and the jobs will look for you.
I can readily testify to that. By the grace of God, I have a job where I work from home. I dont leave my house unless I want to. I get paid more than a US senator. I have excellent health care benefits paid for by my employer. I have plentiful savings. My wife has never worked for 1 day since we came to the US. I once started a business and ran up $80k in debt. I paid off the debt all from my salary. And I know many Nigerians here in the neighbourhood that I live that can tell the same story.

I strongly beleive God can bless you wherever you are. If God has brought you to America, utilize the opportunity (and it is a good opportunity) to the fullest and STOP comparing yourself to your mates back home. It is 2 completely different worlds and systems.

I absolutely subscribes and believe in your ideology.We all know that there is nowhere in the world u can rake money in the street be it Nigeria or USA but with careful planning and upgrading one can fit in to something reasonable. I love your post sir and would like to know the nature of your job as you said that you work from home because I will like such job as I will be jetting out to USA with my wife next february.
We won DVlottery and we both have our Bsc in Economics but will like to further our study there and I believe that with your type of job by God's grace, we won't find it difficult to school there. Thanks in anticipation that u'll educate me more. My email address is chirpywest@live.co.uk. Plz email me.
