SapphireFort: I am aware that undergrads are not allowed allowed in some countries like here in the UK,hence my question.
America doesn't restrict anyone. You just need inform the school and they will issue you an I20 for the spouse provided you show proof of funds which I am sure is less than $10000.
SapphireFort: Please does anyone know whether a JD is considered as a postgraduate program for visa purposes since you need to have had a first degree? I want to know if one would be allowed to have dependents on a JD program, please.
A non-immigrant allows you to have dependent irrespective of the program it is.
folamorgan: Please, house, California State University deferred my master admission from January 2023 to August 2023 and now to January 2024. I have done visa interview before by May but I was denied. Please, I want to be sure of something: Is it that it is only people that are either fully or partially funded that get visa easily? Or even people that will pay their tuition themselves can get visa? My school fund both tuition and others is $34200. The one year tuition out of that $34200 is $26,000 and the second year is taken cared of by a program in the school. Thanks for your responses.
Do you mind explaining the third and fourth sentences of the second paragraph?
Childfree: Why cry when faced with the responsibility and acting ignorance like they don't know what they are putting themselves into involves?
Those who cry are those who never considered the responsibilities they were getting into. However, some might talk about it and perhaps sound as whining, that is allowed because sometimes, people can be overwhelmed and whining is just a way to ease off their frustrations.
Childfree: Saying because they don't plan is ridiculous.
How do you have time for yourself when time is now for the 3 of you? Taking care of a child, probably awake at night is not stressful? Can you stay out without coming to your child? Can you just wake up and go to vacation for 2 months?
Mr planning, how does planning solve this?
Practically marriage, child or children would adversely affect your whole life. Unless you want to be a deadbeat parent
It bewilders me when people complain.
Still buoys down to lack of proper planning. That you are married doesn't compel you to have kids if you know you are not ready to pay the price to raise kids properly etc.
It isn't true. Marriage/family comes with great responsibilities however, been able to plan ahead and adjust where necessary makes navigating the challenges easier. That said, there are so many sacrifices to be made and they do not come without a great price. Waiting to sacrifice when it is convenient for you in my opinion is no sacrifice but been able to work it out with your partner and kids to tolerate and play your part in every sacrifice is the key thing.
How are you different from the men in her past? If you have had sex with the girls from your past and currently having sex with her, you are no different from her and the men she slept with. If you are not matured enough to let go of her past as far as she is faithful to you in this relationship, please don't waste her time any longer and let her go.
Jozilinn: Wow you think even a counselor can advise someone who doesn't want anyone advice than his,do you know how many times she has asked for people to sort them out, only for him to say no that's she is to be submissive to him and what he wants she does period. How can you advise that one
Yes because that is their profession and besides, money is paid to hire one so he sure will listen. I guess my fear is people like you who write others off for only God knows why.
If you are not informed/invited, please respect yourself and stay in your house. Should he or anyone come after to challenge you, be truthful that you were not informed was why you had to respect yourself.
Tried catching up on the thread and realized it is not as functional/useful as it was back in the days. I am thinking many things could have led to this situation such as those who created whats app group and took away the activities from here, people who were selfish in their transcripts thereby discouraging others from reading/posting, and many who have chosen not to be actively involved in their study plans for reasons best known to them.
Jozilinn: he's earning much and just got promoted too all these he does behind her very wicked person, can you imagine she got to know about the promotion from an family member that called to congratulate, she just played along... See wetin the quest for man pikin dey do to people abi no problem
She should be able to handle her marriage. He's acting that way because she's allowing him to. Sometimes, give your advice to the person who reported and let the person take necessary actions. You can advice her to suggest the need to visit counselors to him.
No go scatter people home ooo. The best you can do is to invite the couples and then raise general topics to understand the husband's reasoning. That way, you can drop hints that could help.
Another is inviting the kids over for Christmas or raising the topic of their school. That said, you truly don't know his finances to justify his actions of putting his kids in public school. Therefore, please, thread wisely.
thesilentman: ok i get you-i just mentioned the money aspect as latest in the sacrifices i make for her.I had believed it would make her respect me more.Reason with me.
Go take a chill pill and realize you filled your head with so much garbage in the past. It is time to come real and be true to yourself, your wife, and your family.
Do not allow the letters you read on the internet destroy your home ooo.
Ebubu3: hello bigly. I want to apply for a fully funded PhD program on scholarship. I finished with a 3.52 GPA out of 5.0
However, I don’t have strong home ties. I am looking to secure a permanent job in a federal teaching hospital in Nigeria as a pharmacist and use that as my home ties.
However, i shudder when I imagine getting asked what a PhD would do for a hospital pharmacist considering it’s not a research-inclined job.
Here are my two questions.
1. Do you think I shouldn’t spend lots of money obtaining the permanent hospital work to use as home ties? Is it truly worth it, or can I secure my visa even without it or any other home ties. Thanks.
2. Is a PhD defendable for a hospital pharmacist ? Or I should instead pursue a permanent job in a university instead then go for PhD as it would do more for a university staff than hospital staff?
2b. My chances are better for employment in the hospital, and the pay is as well better than the university, should in case all fails through and I have to resort back to staying back in Nigeria.
These are my two questions.
I want to know these things on time, work towards them, achieve them before starting my applications cause I’ll fill in my permanent work on my DS-160 form.
Just focus on yourself and why you want to do a program. If you are thinking of a PhD, you could focus on Public Health as a Pharmacist or a MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences since most of them are funded.
Let him know at this time you have no other option other than reporting him to the authorities. You also need make up your mind if you want to stay or leave.
The ultimate solution is to treat your spouse how you want to be treated, seek his/her satisfaction, joy, happiness at all times and you find yourself better for it.
How much selfish can you be? You say the ladies are entitled but you are not better than them too. Who gives such conditions and thinks a lady should jump at it in the name of dual citizen?
In my sincere opinion, you are a bad as you generalized the females.
It is very tough and hopefully, your story will teach our young men who thinks raiding should child in a good home is out of place.
That said you didn't say much about your younger sister your day refused to train. Hope she is doing very well now.
As for your brother, he is an adult. I will advice you take maybe a weekend trip together to bond more. Make him realize he is an adult and by law, he is responsible for his action. Make him understand the end of those involved in such vices.
