North Carolina will be better. They should settle in either Winston-Salem or Raleigh... Raleigh will be better.


But if you want a cool and saner environment, I recommend Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Those areas mentioned are very good. I lived in Greensboro for 5 years before moving to Charlotte. I have friends in Raleigh. I've also worked in Raleigh before for a year. Overall, NC is great.

Hello House,

Please does anyone know of any cheap hospital in Georgia, Atlanta? Something within the price range of Oakbend medical center in Houston.
Thank You.

@Motherloventina,

Don't get worked up. My cousin was in a similar situation even though her own wasn't suspension. She was sacked..........VO asked why was she in South Africa for 4 months while she has a job. All she said was that she was on a training from office...........Trust me the crowed in the embassy is too much for the VO to pick phone to call or verify. No time..........Madam, you have no problem.

Hi chloe7 ladyguiniver and justwise

Pls which is preferable.. travel with my husband for vacation we got married early this year,no kids yet OR travel alone and hubby stays behind for home tie sake. I am the travel freak.. my hubby doesn't really care.



This question is the one bothering me more.. let me bore you with my story..something happened at my company that got me 6months suspension.. nothing illegal just a female colleague showing her level of influence cos she was rumoured to be dating the owner of the company, the two females involved were sacked and I was suspended cos I knew abt it and didn't report them simply because they were in my unit,well all na still set up ..now my point is I was devastated and got 3months visa to dubai immediately just to change environment and get myself together..now to the real deal,im back in naija and I'm still kinda down remembering the whole unfairness ...so husband is suggesting this america trip,we have a family friend that's ready to invite and it will be total new experience for me.. now my fear is won't the VO start thinking why I stayed in dubai for 3months when I have a job in naija? Won't it display some sort of idleness...ofcourse I can't start explaining d suspension ish.. big red flag! Pls I don't knw how to dodge this red flag.. our HR is ready to even giive me all necessary documents from my coy for the trip.. my only fear is just the 3months I spent in dubai. even if I decide not to travel to usa for now.. no matter the time I wanna travel, this 3months willl always show up on my passport, my husband said I shd say my coy was having issues that period but what if they confirm.. or I went for a 3months course or which kind leave I go for for 3months but I really don't wanna lie. Pls help

Hello House,

I currently have a valid B1/B2 visa but planning to apply for an F1 visa. I am married with a kid (US citizen). I don't know whether to bring my wife to the US on her B1/B2 Visa and then change status to F2 when she gets to the US.


What if her F2 get rejected, would she still be able to come to US on her visitor visa or does her visitor visa gets rejected too? Kindly advise

Also, if i get denied F1 visa, what happens to my valid B1/B2 visa.?

Hello VO,

I just got back from the US after a 21 days visit and I still have a valid B1/B2 visa. I plan applying for an F-1 Visa. I will like to know if my visiting visa guarantees the success of my F1 Visa and i will also like to know what will happen to my B1/B2 Visa if i am denied F-1 Visa? Does it get canceled ?

God2big2sure:
Concerning changing your visa to F1 it can be done in united State but most schools doesnt do that. There are document required before you can change it like prove that you can pay your school fees.I can give you the name of the school and read their policy.
God bless you.

Hello God2big2sure, just sent u a PM. Thanks

LadyGuinivere:
1. Correct
2. I don't know
3. Your mind seems made up as you have already said its legal so no opinion.
Fyi sha this is the thread for visit visa

Thanks a lot.

I just got back from Houston, Texas. My wife just had a baby there............i was able to visit some schools during my visit and so i am thinking of applying for an F-1 (Student)Visa. I heard some things which i will like to confirm from you all.

1. That my B1/B2 visa doesn't guarantee me an F-1 visa.
2. That my B1/B2 visa will be canceled even if i get denied of F-1 visa.

Lastly, will u suggest i just go back to US with my B1/B2 visa and change my status to F-1(Student) visa......... I know its very legal based on the info i got from USCIS( United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) website http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/special-instructions-b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-enroll-school .

peaceful22:
Lovely mums please I need your advise. I and my family got US visa November, 2014 with the intention of going on vacation this summer ie October/sept. Just this month I realised am 2 weeks pregnant (unplanned though), this means by October I should be due 4 delivery. Please my question is do I have to write a letter to the embassy stating am going to give birth since I didn't mention it at the time of interview? Thank you.

Hello everyone, this is for everyone who is in Peaceful22 situation and thinking of sending a letter of intent to the US embassy......... Below is a copy of the reply i got from the US embassy yesterday after sending a letter of intent:...............

" [b]Thank you for your inquiry.

Please note that there is no legal requirement to inform us that you are seeking to give birth in the United States or that your purpose of travel has changed. The Customs and Border Protection, a branch of USCIS, determines a traveler’s eligibility of entry to the U.S, you should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking medical treatment and that you have logistical and financial plans for the treatment.

We recommend that you review the regulations on non-immigrant aliens entering the United States for purposes of childbirth at https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882/~/visit-the-u.s.-while-pregnant-and-the-risks-involved and plan accordingly. Please you should not stay in the U.S. longer than you are permitted by Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

If you choose to give birth in the U.S., we advise you to bring evidence of payment, both when you enter the U.S. on this visit, and at your future U.S. visa interviews.

Sincerely,

Information for immigrants (Express Entry)
On January 1, 2015, completing an Express Entry profile will be the first step in immigrating to Canada permanently as a skilled worker under the:

Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.
Under the Express Entry system, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will invite people to apply for permanent residence based on the information they enter in an online profile. You cannot apply directly to any of these programs unless CIC sends you an invitation to apply (ITA).

If you are planning to apply to one of these programs after December 31, 2014, you can learn more about how Express Entry works.

Getting ready to complete your Express Entry profile:
1) You will need to take a language test. CIC will use your test results to see whether you are eligible to immigrate to Canada under one of the federal programs that are part of Express Entry.

2) If you were educated outside Canada, you may need to have your educational credentials (your foreign degree, diploma or certificate) assessed against Canadian standards.

You may not need an assessment if:

you have at least one year of recent work experience in Canada, or
your work experience is in a skilled trade (skilled manual work).
Note: Even if you don’t think you need to have your foreign education assessed to be eligible under Express Entry, you may want to do so to increase your chances of being invited to apply.

3) You need to know the skill type of the job your work experience is in (as well as the job you plan to have in Canada, if they are different). You will use Canada’s job classification system (the National Occupational Classification, or NOC) to find out whether your work experience is valid under one of the three federal programs.

Entry criteria and the Comprehensive Ranking System
The Express Entry system will create a pool of candidates for immigration to Canada. We will assess candidates based on a number of criteria, and will invite the highest-ranked to apply to immigrate to Canada.

There are requirements not only to get into the pool, but also to be chosen from it.

Find out about the entry criteria and the Comprehensive Ranking System.

To find your job title, code and skill type
Go to the NOC's website and

Search your job title.
Find the closest match in the list.
Make sure the main duties listed match what you did at your job (if they don’t you will need to find a different job title with duties that match yours).
Write down the numeric code and job title (example: 7253 Gas fitters).
Write down the skill level or type according to the lists below.
If your four-digit code begins with "0" (example: 0211), your job is NOC Skill Type 0.
If your four-digit code begins with any of these: 11, 21, 30, 31, 40, 41, or 51, your job is NOC Skill Level A.
If your four-digit code begins with any of these: 12, 13, 22, 32, 42, 43, 52, 62, 63,72, 73, 82 or 92, your job is NOC Skill Level B.
This job code is referred to as your "NOC code" in the Express Entry profile.

If you apply before January 1, 2015:
We will process your application under the rules in place at the time you applied.

Hello, I studied Microbiology in the university but i switched career to Information Technology (IT). i have always worked as a Network Engineer which makes my NOC code to be 2281(Computer Network Technicians).

Hi All,

I like to know A-Z documents required to apply for Visa as a visitor to the U.S. My girl friend would be sending me Invitation, what other documents should I ask her to include. Thanks everyone!

This link should help. http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/non-immigrant_visas.html

Hello everyone, i have bn ffing this thread quietly. I got my visa last month. My wife got hers early dis year While she was in the UK b4 we got married. We plan to have our baby in the US......going thru this thread last night made me realise its important to let the embassy know u are going to have a baby in the US. I have attached a conversation btw a couple and the VO from the "US visit visa" thread. So i strongly advice anyone going to have a baby in the US and have a visa b4 getting pregnant to pls write the embassy.

Hello guys. I am planning to go for my Diploma or Advance Diploma in Canada in Information Technology. I just got married and i have few questions:

1. Will you advice i go for a 1 year program or 2 years program?

2. Are married applicants allowed to travel with their partners? If yes, what type of visa will be issued to my wife?

Also, We both have a valid US visa and does that guarantee me getting a TRV? Hope to read from you guys soon. Happy new month.

Here are some ways the VO can easily know you are so desperate:

1. When you are so eager to show the VO your documents: US embassy rarely check for documents and if they have any reason to doubt you, the VO will demand to see them. When i went for my US visa interview, the Lady at window 2 kept telling a man ....."Mister, i will tell you if i need to see your documents"...... i am sure we all know the end of the story #Denial

2. Try and keep your answers short: When you keep saying what you were't asked or you give too much of info, it sends wrong signals to the VO. It shows you wanna impress which is a big sign of desperation.

Lastly, we always misuse the word "Vacation". If you are married and you are not going with your wife, biko say you are going to spend you annual leave in the US. These white guys value vacation and family. Vacation is more appreciated when its with your family.

hmmm

Mofella: We give You glory Lord as we worship You.....
We give You glory Lord as we honour You....
You are wonderful You are worthy O lord
You are wonderful You are worthy of our praise.

God has done it, i am so grateful to God and to every member of the house, my heart goes out to Tzetzefly, Tayoamos and others, you guys are the best.

My wife and baby were granted Visas and sincerely speaking its just God. I will post the transcript asap.

@Mofella, congrats

Egomah: Congregation, what were the ties you stated? Can one use a personal house document as a landed tie, even when there's no C/O?

You don't state your ties because time no dey neither will the vo ask you for your ties. When you start saying what you are not asked, it only shows you wanna impress the VO, which shows that you are desperate. The VO will know your tie to your country from the questions he ask you. He can then ask to see proof if he doubt you. My friend got his 2yrs visa despite the fact that he only strolled into the embassy with his passport, confirmation letter and appointment letter. He was asked for his bank statement, he said he left it in his car at the embassy car park when he was rushing to the embassy.
As for me, my only tie is my job and my wife. The Vo asked why is my wife not going with me (....Even though she got her US visa from the UK). Told the Vo she just got a job here in lagos and she isn't entitled to a leave yetv(Dat's a tie)...........I guess that made the vo feel i still have every reason to come back to naija.

My View about this C of O and blah blah is not a big deal to me because this white guys are not even ready to check your documents. Your answers to a question determines the next he's gonna ask u. I am only saying this to encourage those that feels because they don't have properties, they can't get a US visa. Infact, a common NYSC is a tie. While i was waiting for my turn to be interviewed last week, the vo at window 9 denied like 11 people. This 11 people includes the wife of a VC of a university dat just got back from uk last week, a medical doctor going for a conference sponsored by LUTH, an HIV-looking girl (God forgrive me ) going for surgery after already paying $22,000. Let me now blow ur mind, the only guy he gave a visa was a boy in dreadlocks on a native wear who said he just graduated from school and going to stay with his elder brother till his NYSC Call-up letter is out. At that point, i knew my visa sure die.

Moral Lession : Anybody can get a US Visa. Just be audible and be confident............Pls don't get me wrong o. A vo who is having a bad day can ruin an applicants chances of getting a visa (God factor ). The guy that interviewed me was just dashing out visa that day and he was busy laughing and playing with kids. It's all about God.

kuzeh: HI,
How did you solve this ?

Hello,

I just sum up courage and went for the interview like that.

Mofella: Greetings. Pls do I have to upload a passport photograph to my Ds-160 form online. Quick response pls

@Mofella, u don't have to upload it. U can go with two passport photo of the embassy's specification. Also there are photographers at the Embassy (Lagos) car park. I took mine there on friday and it cost N1,500 for 6 copies. Wish u all the best.
