Thanks Bro
Leaving with B.A as well. Just confirmed my ticket. Heathrow, Chicago then Columbus. How was your immigration experience at the Chicago airport?

was smooth never had any issues just make sure you got your packet.

Well basically if you are not married and you have a girlfriend in Nigeria unless you have the fear of God in you it probably won’t workout. Distance is the first barrier and women here are so easy going that you will be spoilt for options. Also if you want to date your fellow Nigerian here it’s all available. So the girl back home starts nagging complaining about wanting to come over when you haven’t even settled yourself. She may be expecting you to send small change home because you claimed not to forget her. Bros na long thing. Yankee is like a clean slate. You can be who you want to be as long as you work hard and don’t mix with the wrong crowd.

It’s a totally different story if you are married and have kids, that’s your responsibility and you no fit gawk am. But honestly if heard of stories whereby people forget their families back home and it’s messed up.

lillaowow:

What about the "Stories that touch part".. abeg explain for people wey still dey Naija

@ chokey419. Who would have thought bro. Exactly a year after u got your interview, I got mine. Same month. My interview was 15th of August. I was approved. I have also, COllected my Visa and packet for my kids and I. I had to Opt out of F1 back to F2B, cos F1 had retrogressed 2wice in a role. Very little movement under F1 since last year till date. Leaving Nigeria next month by God's grace. Trying to get things done, and buy stuffs for my mum too. Good to see your update.

Wow congratulations I’m so happy for you.

So basically I got here late September last year and I wanted to hit the ground running I tried searching and applying for jobs online but nothing was forthcoming I started getting a bit frustrated but I knew that everything will still workout fine. I’m currently in Wisconsin and here the public transportation ain’t really nice so that was another issue that was affecting me since most jobs I got called in for an interview were kind of far away, luckily for me a family friend sent me a link to a fedex job as a package handler. I applied and got the job I kid you not I only did that job for one day. It was back breaking work and I think that because I did have an African name they assumed I will be fit and all that. But honestly I couldn’t deal with it. So basically my first 3 months here I was jobless. A lot of people where advising me to work in a gas station or some bull like that but most people who work there are those that don’t have papers and I didn’t want to be drawn into that category.

So late last year I went to a staffing agency and they got me into a very nice job at an international food processing agency within a couple of months I was able to buy my first car. Life was smooth but I knew I wanted more and I didn’t want to be complacent in my current job because some people just get comfortable and be content with making $15 an hr. As you know IT is a very lucrative industry right now an I knew that I had to try to get into that somehow.

Was introduced to some who said he could train me to become EPIC certified but it would cost $1500 for a 3 week class brush up my resume and get me my first gig. I was kind of leaning towards doing that but I later changed my mind. I met this young lady and we started talking which lead to something a bit deeper. I will advise anyone who is single and has a boo back home don’t promise anyone anything because it will just lead to stories that touch. Well back to what I was talking about. I met the chic and apparently she works for an NGO who help to train people into certain IT positions and after you are done with the program you will get guaranteed employment well as a naija boy I knew that I had to get enrolled into the program. I eventually did and classes start by October it’s going to last for 4months so I should be done by January next year. So that basically been what I have been up to so far.

Yankee sweet as long as you keep focused always try to go to school or get certification in what ever field you will want to get into and sky ia your limit. Don’t try to rack up to much debt and you are good to go.

Thanks.

Totally forgot about this thread, it’s almost been a year since I moved to the states and it’s been a hell of a journey I will try to update soonest and let y’all know how it’s been so far.

kroger:
I have shared what i wanted to share.. Any interested persons can contact me privately and i give them the right info on how to go about it.. We can discuss other things pertaining to yankee..

Sent you a pm

Caraminer:
@Blowjobs, I really cannot over emphasize how helpful you have been. I need to ask as a LPR, do I need to file both forms I-130 and and I-485 at the the same time for my hubby as I can only afford to file I-130 at the moment? I’ve been worried cos his 6-months stay period is ending next month. I don’t think I’d be able to bear it if he has to go back to Nigeria. Thanks

Are you a citizen or lpr? If it’s the latter it’s best your hubby goes back to naija because he can’t adjust status if you ain’t a citizen

BlowJobs:
btw, what have you been up to now? its been while.

School? work?

Working right now. Looking to change jobs so I’m applying at some companies hopefully something comes through. Still got plans to go back to school but that’s still sometime in the future.

chiommy123:
you were very wrong for slapping her. she is not your wife for crying out loud

Even if na wife a real man never hits a lady.

Nigga the writing is on the wall. So called bestie is chiking your babe and she is feeling the brother. By the way how will you be going out with a girl for 5 years una never reach una destination?

Where the range Rover?

BlowJobs:
bro, ran into some probs. Recruiter F**ked me up (i really think so). I'm out. I am done trying to join.


My mama prayer about me not going to war was answered

Bros, i tried and tried.
So, i tested + to TB from a routine check. i was shocked. I did xray and it showed i dont have TB. Dr said i have no worries. Told recruiter i tested + to TB but don't have it (my mistake should i waited till MEPS check up) na there my wahalah start.

PS: i found out a lot of US being from Nigeria most likely will test positive to TB (letent) but do not actually have TB.

Did you take any immunization shots recently? Before I travelled and did my medicals had to take some shots back home, I got here and had a job interview which I needed to do some medical screening since my mum is a nurse she advised me to let them know I just migrated in case they wanna test for TB. Really don't know how it works but I guess that might have been the problem.

signature2012:
Yeah!

That's very wrong info. He asked for spouse not fiance/fiancee. A green card holder can file for his or her spouse and kids. A citizen can file fiance/fiancee visa and you must get married within 90days of your arrival. That category is called K1 while the the other is called F2a.

AroOkigbo:
I will like to doubt you but let me ask, how did he do it?

Its impossible. Little research on the net will tell so. 5 weeks bawo. Lol.

Well I recently read somewhere that the Nigerian accent is one of the top 10 sexiest languages in the world. But do these foreigners understand us from personal experience a big phat no. Sometimes I speak and they tell me wow you speak good English and I’m like that’s my country’s official language. These peeps don change my name for me sef. Lol.
