oyidiyaagbayi: Happy New Year to all nairalander from Fayetteville, North Carolina. I just received my green card today after a long wait .

candytos: Wes is one of the leading organisations for evaluating degrees from different countries i.e ur degree or certificate from a higher institution in a country is evaluated n compared to some international standards to know where to place u in terms of educational qualification in a country different from where u received ur degree or certificate. This wes evaluation is used by most schools n some employers in US and Canada to rate the educational background or level of immigrants coming in as graduates.
For ur Wes evaluation ur school send in ur transcript to Wes after u av made an online application to wes for evaluation of ur degree. U will send a copy of ur certificate to wes and make necessary payment electronically depending on type of evaluation u require to wes. Note that wes does not send u ur evaluation report but send it to schools n institutions at ur request and additional cost. Also note that wes is a keeps ur record for u to request for anytime u need to send to schools or organisation. I advise all graduates n undergraduate inmmigrant to apply for this b4 leaving as getting transcript from nigeria universties can be hetic. Thank u

axortedbabe: Wey funke n co...make dem cum see

dplomaticVal: hope to cee that of nollywood soon

mmmustapha: do you call that cheap? nothing good will come out from mtn, am still using data on Etisalat n some are still subscribing to airtel

Chaleeee: Source??

Igbanibo: For what!

pjogutum1: Pls. Come with your money to the US, even if you are going to stay with your parent or relation, because they can wakeup one day and ask you to leave, lts no joke. For family people with two children or more leave your family behind and come first accept you have up to $4000 on you to pay six months rent or you and your family will regret why you came to the US everybody here is crazy remember,Americans do not keep people in their homes. If not that I had money on me, i and my family would have been outside by now but thank God we got a one bedroom apartment in Dallas. Merry Christmas and Happy new year in advance as you join us in the United States of America to fulfill your dreams, thanks and God bless you all. Prince reporting from Dallas Texas.

exteababa: 1. i will advice u not to carry any food at all, cos of immigration checks, not only at lagos but at your point of entry, most white folks dont know anything about our african food, and i bet u dont want any wahala....and most of these foods are here in african stores. there garri, dried fish, poundo, anytn u want. save yourself of immigration trouble and heavy luggage .
2. its winter already and its very cold, so get your boot, winter jacket, head warmer as jjc u can get gloves too cos u dont want to get sick atall, medical bills here is just too high. get thick long socks too. ALSO expect cold in your aircraft
3. career in USA, number 1 is any course thats medical 2. IT courses 3. Engineering, then others follow..........
4. driving procedure, i you have naija DL go with it, it may save you some money and test. if not your host will direct you to a DDS office where u will get your manual free, before you can do a road test u will need your SSN and state ID ( requirements vary from state to state) and immigration documents. you will do a computer test first then if u pass u will do a road test.
5. my dad is my host so am at home. but 1 thing about hosts is, here in USA, everybody bears his/her cross. so over dependence on a host can lead to 'throw out'. you can assist in paying some lil bills such as water, cable, electricity........etc, based on your capacity. but be smart, the more money u put down the more you host may depend on you too.
6.flight booking. i did direct flight with delta airlines and it was just smooth. remember to keep your brown envelop in u hand luggage, bring it out at your point of entry so they can know your 'special immigrant' and give you due service
last advice. be ready to come to USA only when u are ready, i.e be ready to study immediately you land or be ready to work, no room for 'iranu'
WELCOME TO AMERICA!

ItyRoyal: @Obatide: first of all i want to thank you for this ingenuity....the mere fact that you are thinking ahead shows you have the welfare of our people at heart. however, i must say that i love the opinions of my fellow forumites. the ones for and the ones against creating a new thread. But let's attempt to marry the two schools of thought in these summaries....
1. the forumites that don't want a new thread are saying so because they don't want to miss out from the rich experience of others that have scaled thru interview and would be more concerned with the issues Obatide raised. in other words, they still prefer every info/forumites here as one family without diversion of attention and focus.
2. those that want a new thread created are also saying so not because they want to get out of this thread...but because they want the originality of this thread preseverved, and the focus to remain helping forumites out with interview preparations and success.

My Opinion:
1. We cannot overemphasis the usefulness of this thread to the several DV winners so this thread with all contributors should remain until the last forumite is interviewed successfully.
2. the suggested thread may be created to address those very important issues raised in Obatide's write up while we are still here. it will help eliminate unnecessary mix up and confusion if it is created to discuss different issues and also serve as a forum that would still unite us after 2014 immigrants have all moved to the States.
3. i want to make a special plea not just to Obatide but to all other forumites especially those that have successfully had their interviews not to abandon this thread for those of us that are yet to be current. Let the new thread be like a resource centre where we go and get specific info about any post interview need..............it's just my opinion!

ukemeglitter: wow!!! its good to be back again

Obatide: Happy Last Sunday of year 2013 and as we enter the year 2014, I pray for more Favor for Visa approval and other goodies from God..
Pls, I would like us to extend our discussions to ‘Life after successful interview’.
Flight booking; how do we book at cheaper rate? I do visit wakanow.com, Flight experience, stop-over, luggage allowance and other experiences
Comprehensive list of what is expected to travel with: Such as the kind of food stuff (dried fish, dried locust beans, poundo yam etc)

Clothing and wears; Pull-over, booths etc.

What of life and career in USA? I’m aware that IT, Health sector and others thrive there.

Driving procedure: Importance of Driving, Process, Driving manual, exams etc.

Issue of Hosts; over dependence on hosts which do go sour especially if ones host is a blood relation while some hosts want their guest to follow their steps, even when you are more informed and the Host might not be vast on internet, So how do one manage? (I thank GOD for mine, who is an IT expert)
Other relevant information that may help pls
Let the discussions continue as I say A Happy new Year

Obatide: or should I create a thread for this? Your advice pls

janut: Ah kevwe_flex, so this ur fastest fingers first is for real. Let me join to enjoy and also spread the groove.
What a wonderful e-family.
