Hello All the Gurus in the House!!!!

This question is specifically directed to the Gurus Abroad. Please what means do you think is the cheapest to make calls from USA to Nigeria. (Note: My family do not have access to good internet connection in Nigeria). I have been surfing the internet and I came across calleasy, nonoh, google voice, viber, skype, rebtel but I will like to hear from the gurus.

Secondly, is it better to change Naira to Dollar before travelling at the Bank or the Black market? If the former is the best please what are the processes involved? I am currently debating this issue with my parents.


Yea,i would advice you to change naira to dollar before coming, and also, never do as if you came here with alot of cash cos boiz here will try to take advantage of you big time.
When you get here try buying a LYCAMOBILE SIM, It is cheap and reasonable, 23$ or 10$ subscription according to your pocket. I buy international calling card online.
try checking callingmart.com All you need to know about networks and international caling cards are explained better.

Hey, whats up man

You must have transferred you Sevis details from the old number to the new number. If that's the case, the old I-20 is irrelevant. However, you could keep it separate from the other docs in your hand bag so you could reach it anytime you need to make a reference probably @ the POE.

innovativeame:

All u need is the white paper given to you at 5he embassy for pickup. It's your image on the passport and the visa. You don't need anything sir except the pickup letter.

slimmy05:
your passport, I-20 and Sevis fee receipt

Why is that some folks don't read previous pages before asking some kind of questions? Is it really laziness? I'm sure if this forum is a place to pick dollars, lots of new members will go deep down to source for information.

Calm down with all those liquids. Bring them in their raw form and mix them here. Saves you lots of stress. My roommie gave me some two days ago and it worked pretty well.

Hello house!
Good to see everyone's making progress. Some of us will be graduating this spring. Thank God for the journey so far.
Some of us came to this country not knowing or having anybody here but we thank God for the success we've achieved so far. It has all been a wonderful experience.
I school in New York, the Big Apple! Lol. My people, NY no be joke o. Just like someone said in some other posts here, NY is fu**king over hyped. I wonder what the craze is all about of this NY self. A lot is wrong with this over celebrated state. Anyways that'll be for another day.
I'm just here to encourage those of you that are finding it difficult to survive in this country. Tuition palava, job wahala, accommodation, GA, among others. Please and please, try to find a way to stay as a student and complete your education. The benefits you'll enjoy while still a student and after graduation are way superior than going out of status for the sake of struggling & scouting for recidency papers. I'm a witness, son! I have friends who came here, abandoned school and went out of status with the mind of trying to get recidency papers. It has not been easy and rosy at all for them. So please, don't go out of status.
And another thing is, please don't forget God in this distractive country. Pray, pray & pray. Never forget those teachings your parent used to give you back in Naija.
For me, I'll be graduating this spring. I came studying in fall '13, got a GA that same semester. Got a scholarship plus another GA in the following semester. Got hired as an intern in NYC. Drive a very good car Lol. All these, as a student. Although at first, it was not that easy but God made it all easy along the line.
Don't be deceived, even the Americans are not smiling. There are also beggers here. Most of them don't even go to school (college). They are mostly high school graduates.
So count yourself as been lucky to be here studying in the first place, because even the Americans will like and envy you when they know you came all the way here to study.
And as for papers/kpali/GC, bro, that one name small thing. Just put your trust in God and finish your school, there are many legit ways of crossing that bridge.

For the new arrivals, I say welcome to the land of opportunities.
I hail the veterans in the house as well. God's favor for us all.

Hi everybody, a friend of mine got her visa approved on Monday last week and was asked to pick up her passport on Thursday. She got there but was told her passport is still with the consulate. She's been calling and checking online, but the status remains "Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate". Another website says "Administrative hold". The call center guys are not revealing any information as to what the issue is. I will like to know if she can walk into the consulate to speak with someone directly. If this is possible, what does she need to do to be able to walk in?
