Health › Re: AS + AS Pregnancy What Should He Do? by fOFT: 4:10pm On Apr 09

fixzycode:
Hello Nairalanders, my friend got a lady pregnant and later discovered that both he and the lady's genotype are AS. Now he is confused because the lady is suggesting abortion but he is not In support of that.

He is confused because he don't know if the child will turn out SS but he wants to give luck a chance. Those with experience please advise.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

How many month old is the pregnancy?
They can check the genotype of the foetus with minimal invasion but risk of abortion of 1%

Dear Prospective applicants,

I am writing this piece on behalf of a fellow applicant whose visa got denied few days ago.
He joined the waiting list in March, had visa interview in October and got denied in January despite transferring €13,341 into his blocked account.

I’ve been in Europe for more than a decade and I have worked in the top 3 best economy in Europe(Germany, France and Italy)

I’m writing this because I think someone or people will find it useful.
If they ask
If you don’t get a job with your opportunity card visa within a year, what’s the best answer?

In addition to that, alway add evidence of your ties to your home country (real estate investment, marriage certificate, landed property, Statement of purpose) in the other session of your application.

Furthermore, for people who got denied opportunity card, will the applicant re-join the queue or open a ticket and request for another appointment for fresh visa application?

Finally, it is apparent that all these countries are all tightening their immigration policies and laws.

Do have plan A, B , C and D

Best wishes

Check UNIPV. They have medicine and surgery in English and you don't need italian language proficiency.
In addition, you will need to write an entrance examination, which is done in three or four different locations all over the world.
Check the following links out:
https://apply.unipv.eu/en_GB/courses/course/140-medicine-and-surgery-harvey-noneu-students
https://auth.miur-legacy.cineca.it/auth/realms/universitaly/protocol/openid-connect/auth?response_type=code&scope=openid&client_id=universitaly&state=n8rJ0RVluNgowR4Idb0HSrr8yfE&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Funiversitaly-private.cineca.it%2Foauth2%2Fredirect_uri&nonce=t8ssvPuxDngJkUP1IDKMilskZZaZIbGoB0hNAv1ft1s
It seems UNIPV application is still on.

All the best
Ok, please when is the next intake?
But are there schools in Italy where I can study mbbs as a foreigner in English?
What is the estimated cost of tuition ?

Boss do you have an idea of how much it would cost to get the ISEE from the Nigerian Embassy in Rome? And can someone like a relative help me get it or it's in person? Also Did you use ISEE during your time at Unipv?

ISEE is free. Yes, I used ISEE throughout my graduate studies at UNIPV.

Thanks boss! But the Pavia application is not as straight cut like Unibo .....Like English proficiency that was waived by Unibo if you are from an English colony is mandatory in Pavia?

Follow your discretion but it is better to apply to the two (Pavia and Bologna)

Try and apply for your certificate asap

I can't write in italian o
But I have been admitted to uni camerino but still expecting that of padua and bologna my most preferred choices

Bologna is the best choice amongst the three.
You can consider doing delivery related jobs within 3-6 months of your stay. At least you should be able to speak basic italian by then
Note:It all depends on you ( learning new language is not for everyone)
Plus, you have an advantage (feminine power)

Hmm @ according to linkedin and not you
By coming with enough money, it means there are no student jobs

Oh!
City u live?
How is italy in general?

I've been living in Pavia for almost a decade now.
I will be fair with my judgement.
Italy is fine but can be better.
Pavia is fine for me because of proximity to Milan( just 30 mins), cost of living, plus I graduated from UNIPV.
According to LinkedIn and Indeed, there are more job opportunities in Northern Italy than other regions.
In all, come with enough money, ask questions, socialize with people, set healthy boundaries.
All the best!
Ciao

Just to encourage you on the journey and say it is doable. I also want to say your set date to be in the US looks quite ambitious to me but I must commend your faith. All the best in the process.

Thanks @adedammy009, I appreciate you comment.
I believe January 1, 2024, is realistic because I will be filing from outside Nigeria.
I have attended about three webinars, and 7-8 applicants got their I-140 approved on average in 70–75 days (not expedited applications).
If the trend continues, I will get the visa in the next month (ember months) and move to the US on or before January 1, 2024.
For my B2 visa, I submitted my DS-160 form two days before my visa appointment (this is another reason to be optimistic about the planned date).

I am researching about it in great details and gathering evidence to support my claims in my petition.

Can anyone share a sample petition letter for scholars?

We can exchange knowledge if you work in STEM.
So far, I've written four (4) reference letters (recommendation letters)
I'm working on my letter and expect to finish it by this time next week (31/03/2023).)

I will equally send to two of my friends to help double-check. (so as to implement their feeback)
Finally, I will submit everything to my personal lawyer to double-check before sending to USCIS in April.
Hopefully, I'll be in the United States by January 1, 2024.

Thank you. Within this one year period can someone get employed or you have to go back to Nigeria after the one year period?

TBVH, it's a dicey question.
Permit me to use myself as an example.
I studied Electronic Engineering and graduated in summer 2017 and I didn't get a job(Internship meant to be converted to full time job after 6 months) until after 1 year - 2018.
To cut the story short, I wasn't given permanent employment and internship isn't taxed by law making it impossible to show any contribution to the society.
I submitted my application but didn't have contract of work for about 6 months and my work permit was put on hold. It was after I got a job(fixed term contract, taxed by law) around October 2019 that I became eligible.
Then pandemic struck and Questura(immigration) and all other institutions had to shutdown.
In summary, my residence permit card didn't come out until June 2020 when the government ease restriction and I used it only for 6 months because it expired in March 2021.
Keep in mind STEM is hot in the western world.
If you're coming to study anything STEM, you'll get something within 1 year although it might not be more than €1000-€1500 per month after tax but it'll definitely sustain you for some time.

All the best!

Please I have a question, after you have applied for visa, did they require an additional verification? if yes how much and how long does it take for this to be ready.

Let me answer the question.
1. My spouse paid 250k (extortion) for verification sometimes in April
2. It took them two months to issue visa after much pressure. I called the embassy at least three times before they issued the VISA.
To be honest with you, I don't know why bureaucracy is a thing with italian instituitions.
