Boofrenzy: Thanks , i appreciate. So i mean to say add the adult family member as Co sponsor to my petitioner income, then co-sponsor fill the form I-864A right ? Then i provide the documents they marked on 2nd and 3rd Asterix ? The co-sponsor must meet the income requirements after adding you to the number of people in their household. If they meet the income requirements, they should fill the form and give you their documents |

fedo: Hello everyone, I have a question/concern. My husband recently became a US citizen and we were thinking of upgrading our petition from F2A lR1 but we are worried that it may take us back to the bottom of the line. Our DQ is August 2021. Has anyone done this before and did it affect your PD date? TIA. I reply you because I think there is an important information you might need. F2A is current at the moment and might remain current for the foreseeable future. IR1 has no visa limits, therefore no priority date to be watching. But one thing very important to switch is that if you enter as a wife of a citizen on GC, you will be due to file for US citizenship in 3 years, but if you enter as wife of a Permanent Resident, you will have to wait for 5 years before you can apply for citizenship. I think it's very advantageous to switch to IR1 at NVC now before they schedule your embassy interview. |

NotsonewMary: Yipee, we have an approval story on the thread. Congrats drbabsok!
Did you file i140 and i485 concurrently? And was your application submitted at the Nebraska or Texas center. A couple of people have told me Nebraska is faster with processing than Texas that’s why I’m asking if you wouldn’t mind. Thanks! Using this link https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/Nebraska is on average faster than Texas at the moment for NIW. Although, some individual cases are decided earlier or later than the average time. I have seen people getting approved in 2 weeks or within 3 months without premium processing, and I have seen people not approved until 14th months. Another thing that cause delay sometimes is concurrent applications. The current process of managing concurrent filling at USCIS involves sending applicants files through multiple service centers, thereby adding to the I140 decision time. As a result, it's advisable not to do concurrent. |

sweetman2022: Why do you guys find some stories as made up. Is it because it is beyond your comprehension? This is not from a third party, I told you I witnessed it with my family where we once lived. I also asked if others have lived in such houses. Please things are happening beyond your understanding. Don't force yourself to understand every incident in the world else you will go crazy aswear. And you want to force this madeup down everyone's throat? |

sweetman2022: This is a true event that happens while I was still a teenager. Please read carefully and be reasonable on whose fault it is. We moved to an apartment in Lagos years ago where a single storey building turns out to be ridiculous. Have you heard of a house where tenants live upstairs while ashawos live downstairs, that's our house. Till this moment I never cared to ask my parents how they couldn't have noticed that the house is occupied by ashawos quarter on the floor. Now came the problem, there was a lady living with his younger brother of my age. They occupied a room upstairs with us as neighbors. She has a fiance then which we all knew about, though he has never visited her in her home according to what I heard. She is a nice woman and was very kind to me then. Well I was younger and lovely so I expect nothing other than her kindness towards me. Although I could remember that when we moved in, my Dad was complaining that the Landlord never told him that the house is being shared with ashawos living on the ground floor while tenants live upstairs. Other tenants like us later told my Dad that they fell into the same circumstances after moving in. [b]The problem started when this lady's fiance decide to visit her unannounced. [/b]I heard he came through the main entrance which is direct to ashawos quarter. So immediately he entered, they rushed him and was asking to be picked. You can guess the different lines they would have used on him..lolz He had to run back outside and was surprised. He called the GF to come outside, that he is in her house. She came outside through the other entrance we the tenants normally use. Immediately he saw her, he confirmed she lives there and walks away. We later heard he claimed so she into prostitution. She tried to explain the situation to him but he never cared to buy it. He dumped her and move on. It was diverstating to her because we all knew about the incident. In few months time, she moved out of the house with her siblings. So as a lady, what would you have done differently. And as a guy, would you have acted the same way as the guy? You can also share your experience if you have lived in such house before. Lalasticlala you can move it front page for wider view. A fiance that never know or visited his girlfriend house before engagement? And all of sudden decided to visit unannounced? And a girlfriend that really want the relationship and decided to keep such living environment a secret to her "fiance" This story self cannot sell in Nollywood. |

OkoRemi2023: you kids on Nairaland sef, I blame the Op that need sensible and mature tips to care for kids bringing it Here
70% of nairalanders are still child in brain and In age, if you need to seek advise on bringing up a child go to motherless babies home for training and they can help you be training them too while you just go check them
someone needs tips on how to care after his kids and some dummies are asking foolish questions I don't even understand why people still bring their family matters to nairaland these days where children, frustrated misogynists and misandrists will only make their matter worst. Are there no more elderly and experienced people in real life to seek good advise from? If you are looking for advise on how to raise children, look around you for good parents raising their children in a good way to seek your advise from. If you are looking for advise on marriage, do same. Look for experienced and married people in real life to advice you. |

Please men have mercies for your wives. My colleague's husband doesn't eat frozen foods, meaning she cooks every day for him. She closes from work by 5 and gets home before 7, she goes to market everyday to cook soup for the husband.
I really do feel for her, to the extent the man threatening her to resign so she can take care of him (He earns below 50k and she earns much more).
She says when a soup/stew/ other meals reaches 24 hours the husband cannot eat them again.
I feel for her seeing her in the morning at work looking stress out Mind your business. Stay away from their affairs. It's like you dey eye the married woman. |

OP, since she has agreed, collect your kids.
Get a nanny to help you stay with them when you need help. With time, you will adjust and get used to it.
If you are traveling or you will stay overnight for any reason, take them to stay with your mother.
If you ever decide to re marry, be very careful of the type of woman you roll with, because many women are better off being single. |

OP, though this your story looks superstory but let me just pretend like it is true.
See, all parties pretend during courtship, most especially when they want something out of the relationship. So, in most cases, you don't truly know your partner until you are married to them.
For some women, you don't truly know them, even in marriage until your finance status is in bad state.
For your wife, I think you have seen her true colors, anytime you start struggling financially again, the peace you see now might disappear.
For the side chick, you will have to take her through some tests. Pretend to her that you have started struggling financially again. Everything that you and your wife have fought over in the past, throw them at her and see her reactions. Remember, any red flag is what you are looking for. If she didn't show any red flag, then you have found the good one. |

Studymore123: You got an interesting profile. It will be very easy if you're able to get an employer. I never had a degree when I got an employer. The EB2 also offers you the option to self petition which will waive the labor certification. You have all it takes. Yes. It's easy if one can get a willing employer to sponsor, and without killing conditions. But if someone has enough solid achievements, I always advise them go through self petition. By so doing, no employer can take you do yanga or shakara |

NotsonewMary: This is a good one!, I know a friend that used this company and shared her petition letter with me, it was superb!, Infact she just received her GC last week. (EB2NIW). Yes. That company is specifically very good in NIW. The other is good for both 1A and NIW but requires their clients to write recommendation letters and self cover letters to the attorney. |

NotsonewMary: Just make sure you do your research thoroughly before settling for any specific lawyer. I do know that most lawyers that know their onions are very thorough and they leave no stone unturned. Also, lawyers tend to work with evidence/exhibits a lot!, which is exactly what USCIS wants. Be prepared to provide adequate supporting evidence for all of your documented achievements. You are right sis. Another information to share with people going through attorneys is that mode of operations of the attorneys are usually different for this route. Some attorneys help their clients draft recommendations letters while some don't. Some attorneys require clients to write own cover letters to them to describe each of the criteria you want to claim among the 10. Folks should consider this also before retaining an attorney. |

kemjoe: I know you are considering the discomfort that comes with the overcrowding but I would advice that you pretend that you enjoy and love their company. The slightest mistake you make this period may take years to correct. It would even be better that they are the ones that would feel the discomfort the most and complain. It is a phase that would definitely pass. All parties are happy for the new born baby and it would be nice that they remain that way. As a married man, things would not always go your way. There are times you have to give in to your wife's choices. I know some people would want to think differently but I can assure that that has been the bedrock of my almost 14 years in marriage. There are times I accept my wife's opinion even though I do not agree with it. Sometimes it turns out that her choice is better than mine. If you try not to be chauvinistic all the time, it will definitely help. Do not allow people to make you think because you give in to your wife's opinion that you have become a "woman wrapper". Some might do worse and advice you to never give in. This is my 2 kobo advice. |

UncleDaddy2017: My wife recently put to bed our first child. While at the hospital, it's been my wife's godmother who travelled down from another state specifically to be with my wife. Infact, she came straight to the hospital and she has been the one sleeping there with her at night. While I stay with her by day. When am at the hospital to relieve her, she goes to our house to sleep.
My wife's mom and my mom (both live few streets away from ours) do come to the hospital during the day ... So fast forward to yesterday Sunday.
My mother-in-law told my wife she will come after church... Hours after church closed we still didn't see her. Only for her to show up with a big traveling bag. And she knew quite well that my wife's godmother put up at our house.
My house is a one bedroom apartment.
When she came, I asked my wife that now that her mom is here, how will all of us sleep in this house as my wife, our baby and the godmother will sleep in the room, while I stay in the sitting room. She became angry and said they will all stay in the room. But that if I don't want her mom to stay in the house, she will just tell her to go away.
So I told her that the proper thing to do is tell her mom to wait till Wednesday when the godmother lives, then she can come. Besides her house is only few streets away. She can be coming during the day and go back home.
So this night now, the mom has bathed and has gone to stay in the room. The godmother who's now feeling sleepy, had to stay in the living room as she can't go to the room bc her mom is there. Me on the other hand, can't sleep in the living room bc her godmother is in the sitting room.... So I sat at the veranda until 11pm. The cloth I had on was the one I wore since morning. I can't go to the room to change as the mom is there. Neither the living room bc the other woman is there.
My wife later came to me outside and was annoyed that I dont welcome her mother in my house.
Do you think I'm wrong to have told my wife to tell her to wait till Wednesday before she comes?
NB: my mother inlaw and I, live like mother and son until she came yesterday Sunday. Don't worry yourself. Wednesday is almost here for the godmother to leave. Please be very patient with your wife at this moment. Remember she just gave birth, hormones have not normalized. Child birth hormones and trauma can make women get angry easily at that stage. Be more patient, loving and caring for her at this stage. The stage will soon pass. Congratulations. You have no problem here. |

Righteousness2: When we say Gambling is a Spirit and I see people argue, I just nod my head in pity.
Gambling is not just a Spirit, it is a wicked spirit that has rendered people Homeless, worthless , useless, Debt ridden and dead.
You need a Genuie Encounter with JESUS. That is the starting point. You also need a total overhaul of your spirit, soul and Body in Christ. Until the Spirit is cast out , you may keep returning back. I recommend that you visit the Lords Chosen and Begin to fellowship . Listen to the word of GOD, practice what you are taught and Just say amen to prayers. That wicked spirit will find its way out of you. Everything is spiritual to Africans. Even the people that brought Christianity to us have moved beyond this reasoning. |
