Am in Texas.
And am right to assume u are in California?

lol @Johnkent.
Well,like i said dis is not me.
i am only trying to get info for some good frined.
I live in the states and i know its not easy even for the young talk of the ageing couple.
Thank you for ur candid advise.

Denzel dats exactly my fear.
i know how hard it is for young people to survive and i am afraid they arent really up to dat.
Worse is dat no one of the kids was included.
at least if they had included dem they will do the hustling but its not so.
again the possiblity of their kids coming in the future is zero cos if they ever succeed it is assumed dat they dont have kids!!!!!!!! except of course they will consider the kids that were over 21 cos they were not eligible in the 1st instance to be included.
But apart from dat it looks to me like the thing is just a dead end.
i am only trying to get the opinion of others before telling dem wat i think.[/tt]

@Johnkent
I know all the pros and cons of not including their kids.
My question right now is shld they ever make it,wat prospects awaits dem?

@oyewolejos,
thanks for your advice.
Truth is dat things are not good enof to the point of coming wt enof money to invest.
actually if they shld come here it will be to hustle.it is because i know they will only be here to hustle dat i am sort concerned.

@coolier,
they sure will be disqualified if the consular finds out they have eligible kids wc they did not include.
the instruction is to include all eligible family members even if they are not migrating wt u.
Failure to include dem means u lied in your initial application and will result in disqualifaction.
i know because i have gone thru the process.

My mum won the lottery and pls lets not go into the issue of their being disqualified.
the plan is just to go there alone wt the assumption that those kids arent there.
Wat i need  to know is the prospect available for dem there considering their age, the fact they might get bak to school to improve demselves.

pls the story is not abt me but abt ny friend who is seeking my opinion and i need some response.

Hello all,
my parents,51 and 56 years old just won the 2011 visa lottery to the US,Alone.They did not include any of us their kids.
actaully my big sister ,i and kid brother are over 21 so we arent eligible,but my younger sibblings are teenagers and eligible
Now both parents are not educated,my mum only finished secondary school  while my dad did not finish.I very much doubt their capacity to go bak to school in the states.
again,our family has faced some financial hard ship in the past years wt business going downhill,but recently things just started looking up a lil bit for us.
Now considering all these,their age,education  ,business and in particular the fact they might neva go bak to school,is it advisable  they make the move?

pady2:

i apprecia8 the contribution of everyone here on this topic. my question however is, suppose you dont recieve your NL b4 the end of july, you check online by the 1st of july2010 and you see dat you won the lottery afterall, want will happen/should you do? can you still be accepted to process your stuff? comments will be apprci8ed. thks

yeah,u will.i guess u wil need download the forms from their site ,complete them and send to dem.
again i believe that the site u got the result will give u instructions on wat to do shld u be a winner.

yessssssssssssssssssssssss.
Unfortuantely i have one already and dont want more dan three kids so i cant pray for dat anymore.
I would be very happy if God will give me twins next.

The results are out.
some one i know got hers since April.
If u didnt get NL u could check online with ur confirmation number from 1st july.

Congrats arly,God is indeed God and he will perfect His work in Jesus name.
Welcome to the club (of mommies).

I like the idea of giving enof gap btw kids.
But I guess it also depends on ur age.
If u got married quite early,then u h 1ave all the time,but if u are among those who got married much later u have to consider ur age,bearing in mind that age is an impt factor in child bearing.

wat abt a 13 month old?
Am in US.

not a sign of good living,no.
just to look healthy.am pretty tall and i just need enof flesh for my weight and height to balance.
even b4 i got married my sistes often tell me i need a lil more flesh to go wt my height.

Me too i need some flesh.
even having a baby am still so slim,in fact some weeks afret i had my baby u wont even know i ever carried one.
i have always hoped and believed that once the kids start coming i will fatten up but am so diasppointed.
My hubby tells me i need a little more flesh,am trying,really trying.no progress yet.

she wants to continue wt the nursing.
she is 25 yrs old.Is dat age ideal?
she has more than a yr experience as nurse too.

Home is the best.
Sometimes I wish i never left Naija.
Still trying to make the best of my stay here,till its time to go home.
No place like home!!!!!!!!!

Femmy,wetin u dey do sef for auto section.u dey sell cars?

Btw:My lil sister is a nurse in naija and wanna apply for study in canada while also working.

na wao.wat about d parents?

pl can a greencard holder file for the sibblings?

My daughter is one yr old and has just two teeth.Up and none down.
She didnt start teething until she was 10 months.I asked her doc and he said there is nothing wrong as it takes some babies upt 15 months.
My auntie's daughter didnt start teething till she was 12 months but now she has a full set of teeth now,so relax.

BTW:is it ok to clean the babys teeth just once a day or do i need to clean at least twice a day as required for adults

Damysa:

@IIade thanks for bringing  up this topic.

I wash my 1yr 3mths baby's teeth with a clean mouth towel in warm salted water but she cries each time.
infact that's the last thing she can take and I am wondering why she hates it alot.

Again at 1yr 3months she has only 4 teeth, 2 up 2down. people said it's normal that it happen in some babies but am apprehensive about it.

am worried kind of

Back in my child hood it was the pratice for the adults to sit in front of the yard on the last day of the school year waiting as we came bak wt our reports card to know who came 1st and vice versa.
Meanwhile,in primary 1 i took tje 2nd,3rd and 7th positions for the 1st,2nd and 3rd terms.
My mom then cautioned me that she doesnt want me going backward but expects me to do better each term.
during the 1st term of primary 2 i moved down from 7th to 15th postion.I rembered my mum warning and was scared to death.
I then went the a corner in the school and used my saliva to clean the 5 beside the 1 so instead of 15th,i now had 1th.
I went home and told my parents i came first.Dad took one look at it and asked why its 1th rather than 1st.i couldnt answer.
the next day he went to the school and the whole thing busted.
I thought i was smart,but alas he caught me.

U are awesome
I stand in awe of u.

U dersrve,the highest praise,My Lord.

Awesome God!!!

Chineke I di nma
