Romance / Re: Why Are Girls From Rich Homes More Appreciative? by learner007(m): 10:27pm On Apr 18, 2020
Girl from a rich home:

She was well taken care of by her parents and has seen it all. The things people do ocassionally to treat themselves right are her weekly experience. She is chauffer driven and shops like normal life. She has seen real love and learnt how to give it freely. Her problem is now how to get someone who would love her and treat her right

Girl from a poor home:

She has been deprived of so much. Now she wants to visit places and get things that only exist in her fantasy. She wants AC, nice room, plenty outings and shopping, because she only saw those things on TV or perhaps experienced them scantily.

Thank you plenty Bro, let me throw more light.
The said woman is married with four children,we had plans of coming over through a non-immigrant visa, but the ban on Nigeria and other countries on entering the United States through that means changed our plans.
So we had to route another means, but she slightly gave conditions that the school should be based in Philadelphia (because that's where she lives). After making enquiries on universities in Philadelphia, I told her of the choices I made, she said university will be quite expensive for her, she was the one that brought up the idea of college. After applying, I told her and sent the application form...
I am tabling the whole thing because I don't know "Shingbain" concerning traveling and traveling related issue(s).
I know this will be long, but I just have to table it.
I have some questions bothering me. See them:
1.What is the rate of visa approval for college students in Nigeria?
2.Even if the woman agrees (and even goes to okija shrine to swear) that she will sponsor me, will VO hold it for me considering the fact that I and woman are in no way related?
3. Do I have any other thing to be scared of?
Abeg if you get contributions wey no relate to questions wey I ask, it is also welcomed..
Kind regards my people..

Well, I want you to know nothing is impossible. Nobody here can guarantee your visa approval except your own VO. A lot of people have been able to get their study visas with community colleges, it just depends on how well you are able to present your case before the VO.

Every NIV applicant appears as a potential immigrant before the VO unless you proven otherwise. This is how to get a visa. We, on this platform, only share ideas that make this process smoother for one another. Convincing a VO that you want to go to a community college after a Bsc is an uphill task already. Using an unrelated sponsor, who already has full dose of responsibilities in four kids, makes the outcome of your meeting almost predictable. Concealing any of these truths will apparently attract a travel ban.

I am not here to scare you at all, but you too put yourself in the shoes of the VO. How do you see your case? You can get that visa if and only if your Psychology of persuasion is out of this world. Once again, nothing is IMPOSSIBLE!

Thank you. I'm applying for a college though, so somebody was telling me (honest observation though), applying for and having a friend as a sponsor is a red flag � for me, he said my chances are slim. It's my first time that's why I'm bringing here for senior e-friends to the needful for me.
N. B. I'm half way with my application anyways.

I'm not a bearer of discouraging news, but stories like that dont fly 90% of the time. Think about it, how can you possibly convince the VO that your friend (not a family member o) is willing to part with at least 12 million naira per year to further your education? How much does this your friend make in the same US, which they know like the back of their hand? What have you done to deserve such a sacrifice? Does that friend not have their own bills to pay? If he/she doesnt have a family, isnt he/she thinking of starting one soon? What if they withdraw their interest halfway into the program?

These are the kind of things that get in the way of a smooth conviction that your sponsor is reliable. But if you have the right proof spiced with great persuasion skills, you are just going to be among the 10% who make it with such credential. This is my only nickel on this marra grin

The thing is IRS process your tax based on the form you submitted, it's the duty of an individual to file the right tax. I have friends that are presently owing IRS up to $2k from 2018 tax returns.
For an international student to qualify as a resident alien for tax purposes, you must have been in the U.S. for 5 years (I am not too sure about this figure). E.g, someone who came into the U.S during Fall 2017 and has been filing tax using form 1040-NR/NR-EZ since then can file form 1040 by 2022.
Don't be too sure about the bolded, even if the U.S. knows the onus is still on you to do right thing. You can't claim ignorance of the law. Does the government want to roast you and you're aiding it by rubbing your body with gas or the governmentwants to help you? I bet you know the answer!
Some guys filed form 1040 (meant for residents) in the past and have successfully adjusted status today, so you might be hearing from them that it doesn't matter what form you submit for your tax. Nobody can tell who will be affected in the future.

"And if truly non-resident aliens should not get the stimulus package, how come they are? Many international students got today."
So far you filed your tax using form 1040 and have your direct deposit set up, you'll get the stimulus package. It's automatic! Whether something will come up in the future from this or not, nobody knows.

This information is very correct. Also, I think things like this should also be discussed here on this platform. For example, I filed wrongly in 2018 using TURBO TAX. My school had presented Glacier to me free of charge, but Turbo offered better returns than Glacier, so I went for Turbo. It was later I realised that Turbo filed me as a resident instead of NR. I then had to correct my tax filing using form 1040X. A few weeks later, I got a message from IRS directing me on how to pay back the excess. As a piece of advice to who cares, do not file your tax returns using TURBO TAX. Sprintax, Glacier or whatever your school offers you is your best bet.

I'm currently applying to 3 schools. Emory, Scad and Gsu. The former is an m.a in development practice, while the others are art related courses.

Would it be a problem if I don't get admission from the three schools, when I go for my Visa interview?

Also, about sponsorship, a friend in the US who isn't my relative will be sponsoring me through school. We've thought of presenting my brother's SOA, to the VO as evidence of sponsorship. Is this a good idea?


The VOs understand when people don't get admitted into all the schools they apply to, so put your mind at rest. However, your choice of schools will definitely raise a HUGE suspicion.

All three schools are not only in GEORGIA, but they are seated in one city (Atlanta), and about 25mins drive from one another. VO will be like, "Without any controversy, this sister get plans for ATLANTA - one of the cities with the largest population of Nigerians. Dont make his job too easy for him, spread out. No worry, when u enter, u go transfer go continue ur business for GA cool cool cool

A word is enough for the wise!

Anytime an illicit act is rebuked, people will come and be shouting, "Nigerians are hypocrites bla bla...". This is pure nonsense!

I dont have a problem with anybody's choice of life, but people should make their choice of location alongside their choice of life. That is why the word 'migration' exists. Yoruba people will say, "You dont stop a young child from choosing to be leprous, provided he can live in the wild alone". Somethings will never thrive in certain locations no matter how much you fight it.

If you were born a bird, and after flying for several years, you suddenly discovered your hormones are that of a fish, then it is not time to start seeing those who fly in the air as hypocrites. Go to the river and find your likes there. Nobody dey fight you!

As of today, homosexuality is NOT allowed in Nigeria, and you also cant try it in the Middle East. If you wan turn anything, no wahala, just pack your bag and join your mates in the right countries, and leave us alone. You dont even need to fight for any law in those places, because your homosexual ancestors have fought it into place for you, so go there and save yourself the stress.

As far as our own Nigeria is concerned o, Adam will always marry Eve, not Steve. Also, Eve will be married by Adam, not Ada. Cheers!
