Don't know yet. I will spend some time with my family at least 2 months before returning

kisibo:


when are u going back?

I am searching for a pregnant mom or new mom to share my 2 bedroom apartment with. It's a nice condominium in a quiet area of Morumbi Sao Paulo. I am traveling back to base and nooe would be there till I come back

Today, I took my daughter to the Posto de Saude (Health Center) for her 3 Month shot and at the entrance to the street, we met with the Civil Police and some traffic gridlock. On enquiry, I learnt that the elderly people were having their covid vaccines. Didn't know Brazil has a lot of old people. Come and see them queuing up for their turns to be vaccinated. On each person's turn, the nurse would show them the liquid solution and get their nod before injecting them. We were attended to because today was baby' s vaccination date. #Good system #good quality of life#many reasons I feel safer in Brazil

Do you live in Brazil? Is your submission based on practical evidencial facts or from theoretical research? I would not argue with you. I am just few months in Brazil and open to learning but I got my information from friends and family living here. Infact, a friend runs a salon here and she boasts that she is doing well. I have also seen brazilians patronize her business. I ran accoss another friend of a friend who owns a shop here and he is very okay. I know another who imports toys from US and other places and his shop is always busy. I gave my advice based on what those who live here told me, including an executive in the Nigeria community forum. My assertion is open to verification. Thanks

You just failed to tell the truth, that Brazil is currently in recession and thousands of white Brazilians are immigrating to Portugal, while the country is plunged into crime, devastated by the covid, and the unemployment rate. You want to compete with Brazilians for a job vacancy, in fact, as bad as it is to live in Nigeria, we have a much lower unemployment rate than theirs.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/263711/unemployment-rate-in-brazil/
https://www.statista.com/statistics/382366/unemployment-rate-in-nigeria/
Imagine, then, for an African immigrant who is not fluent in Portuguese, looking for a job there.
Someone here is not telling the truth of the difficulty in emigrating to Brazil. Looks like so simple, and it's not.
Your graduation has no value there until it is revalidated. Revalidation is expensive, and few foreigners manage to pass.
Your work experience does not count, because what they consider is what they call "carteira de trabalho", if your "carteira de trabalho" is empty, they will not give you a job, not to mention that you will be competing with a Brazilian for employment, because a large part of the population are currently unemployed, and the situation tends to worsen with the covid. Anyway for who wants to try this crazy idea, good luck.

If you have your PR, you are free to run a business. If you want some kind of job, mostly technical, there is an agency that Empowers youth with some technical trainings and certification which you can use to get jobs or establish yourself

Good day everyone.

My message is specifically to those already in Brazil. Please how have you been coping in terms of survival and what type of jobs are available for someone to do to earn little money while one is waiting to get the Brazilian passport after one year of being in the country.

I don’t assume one will be home sitting down idle on a daily basis for that one year.

Thanks �

What can I use as proof of residencial address in Brazil. I have tried everything I can. My host does not want to put is electricity bill in my name, Policia Federal rejected the bill I used as proof of address because it doesn't bear my name. Can I use my hospital bill, Phone post paid contract Agreement, moneygram receipts. I do not want to be sent back anymore. Please advise

Oh OK. Congrats in advance

Ijeamaka1:

Came to have a baby

Maybe you need to try Morumbi. It's a nice place

TechSpot:


From your description, it seems Itaquera is similar to Guarulhos.

I stayed in Guarulhos for a month, though it's safe, quiet, relatively affordable though not as modern or highbrow like places I stayed in Sao Paulo city centre thus I'm looking for a city that's a balance between both Sao Paulo city and Guarulhos.


Since you've stayed in both Guarulhos and Itaquera... What made u decide to settle down in Itaquera?


Stay safe, I wish you and you family all the best of life in Brazil.


*Pardon my many questions

Congrats. Do you plan on having a baby in Brazil or you came on a work permit visa? I ask because you said you finally moved to Brazil. Yet you also said someone had to vouch for you to be able to get an accommodation.

Ijeamaka1:
I finally moved to SP with my family from Nigeria getting accommodation in São Paulo as a tourist is hectic ,your cpf is not enough , but with Gods grace I meet someone that was able to vouch for me after several tries secured a two bedroom apartment at itaquera for 1250 Reis including condominium fee but I had to stay in an air b n b for 2 weeks before I got the apartment

I got all info from this platform. Go through this thread from beginning to end

I used a Private hospital. I read about those concerns about abusing their system and didn't want to be a culprit. I decided to pay. It was about 5k dollar

Isaacpyo04:


Congrats...
Please can use share the hospital you use?

I got Police Report from my country of residence

Candybright:

Please may I know what you mean by police report "OUTSIDE NIGERIA"?

You must have registered your baby birth certificate at their local govt called Cartoria.

Then you do the citizenship ID card called RJ (they pronounce it like ehijay), at another govt office called Paupatempo.
You should also have the CPF of yourself (their tax id number).

Then with these documents you go to Policia Federal website and apply for baby passport. You will be sent a Protocol page with registration code. With that code you go to schedule appointment at the same website

I saw that you tried to message me but I don't know how to respond. The thing is that they started the web appointment scheduling. But it appears they deliberately blocked it so no one gets appointments. I checked up to March but no date available. Then a notification came up which gave option of emailing them. I did email putting my application code. They finally respond after 10 days giving me a date which is 11 days after my allowed 90 days stay expires. I am confused, as I do not want any overstay in my travel history.

Ajokeomo:


I sent you a PM.

It must be due to COVID-19. I just learned that all tourist Visas (90 days) resumed counting on the first week of November, before then they stopped counting due to covid restrictions. You may have more time if that’s the case.
Alternatively, you can extend your visa but they won’t do it until a week to expiration.

I went there today. They insist I must get an appointment

Ajokeomo:


I didn’t have to book an appointment when I applied, I just walked in to submit. I’m not sure what the protocol is now due to Covid but if you are in São Paulo, you can just go to Policia Federal in Lapa to submit. Also, usually you should get Priority you’re applying with your baby’s documents.

I have applied but couldn't get any appointment as it has been overbooked on Policia Federal website. My Police report will expire this month endand my visa in 3 weeks time. Is there anyone here who knows how else I can get a quicker appointment or any city I can walk in and submit without appointment. Please kindly assist if you do

Ajokeomo:




on your baby.

You don’t need an agent, you can follow the link techspot provided. You can also reach out to non government organizations that assist immigrants near you, they usually have people who speak English and will help arrange all the documents required for your PR application at no cost.
Once you apply, you get a protocol that will grant you 6 months stay so you don’t have to worry about your 90 days expiring or leaving hurriedly once you apply.

Company registration douments
Tax clearance
Resident permits
Insurance for all family members
Hotel reservation
Flight itinery (we didn't pay for the booking)
Birth Cerificates
Police Report (outside Nigeria)
Passport page
Bank introduction
Account balance
Company introduction
Letter of application from my husband
Etc

chytai:




Hi please can you list the documents you submitted during your Visa application.

Honestly, I didn't even take a look at the balance. We used the company account which has steady traffic. In such situation, from my knowledge, they don't prioritize the balance but atkeast I know its more than 2 million naira

Congratulations dear. Please ,can you give us a rough estimate of your account balance as at when your hubby applied . [/quote]

Thanks dear, we are in a town called Bondy now

Marytee2:

Google and browse as much as you can, it will give you ideas on where you can visit.
For hotels near Disneyland Paris, it depends on your budget. There are hotels inside Disneyland itself. There is also a town in the outskirts of Paris known as Torcy, it’s very close to Disneyland. We stayed at B&B Hôtel Marne-La-Vallée Torcy. It’s not far from train station and very close to Disneyland.

Hello, I just got a 3 month France visa and 30 days stay. It will be my first time travelling to france. Please kindly advice on cheap hotels and fun places to go. I will be going with my 2 little kids. What if i want to take them to disneyland. What hotel is closest to it? Any advice to save cost will be appreciated. I want to spend just a week for our summer holiday. Only because i dont know anyone there

I thought so too. Well, let me hope for the best

OmoBendel24:


Sorry I'm asking this question late in plain terms from the DS160 questionnaire, an abridged version though, but just to help us all:


"Have you ever sought to obtain entry into the United States by willful misrepresentation?"

I ask because I'm wondering if the above isn't assumable as what transpired between you and the CBP. I don't feel you have anything to lose by agreeing to this yet again compared to not agreeing this time around. Just my thought sha! Regards....

Thanks dear

chibertha:
Nop you will see everything in your portal

Thanks Chibertha
So, after that they will send me a link in my email, right?

chibertha:
Print the bar code sent to your email then go with it to GT bank. You will be given a receipt with numbers which you will use to go book appointment on your portal. Wait at least 24 hrs for your payment to reflect before booking appointment.

Thanks mamaron.
I have completed the application. My confirmation page sent to my email. I have been looking for the link for paying visa fees and nothing heĺps. My last application, i was shown a link to print out and take to bank. Or should i just go to Gtbank and pay visa fees? After that, what next? How do i proceed with submitting receipts and
booking appointment. Am sorry but i have really tried and cant figure it out. Thanks

mamaron:


Are you sure you have the right web page for Nigeria? I don't think you should be able to use an old confirmation number especially a Tanzanian one. Once you start a new application it should give you a fresh number that you will note down with your surname and date of birth and a security question....in case you don't finish in one sitting and have to go back to your application.

The Nigeria link is http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-ds160complete.asp

Once you have completed the form and paid the fee to GTB you can then book an appointment. After this is done you should see an option for expedite appointment.

Their requirements for medical reason for an expedited appointment are very clear:

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-expeditedappointment.asp

Requirements are Nigerian doctor's letter, U.S. doctor's letter and proof of funding or payment for all medical services (doctor, hospital etc) ....this can be your receipt or bank statement.

I thouggt so, too. I got it from google

Hello dear NLanders,

I tried to apply through Nigeria embassy. I filled all the information i.e names, passport no and expiry, contact details etc. When I tried to go to next, it keeps requesting I enter Confirmation number. I thought confirmation number should be given after filling the forms just like here where i did my initial application.
Anyways, I entered the confirmation number I received from Tanzania here and the application continued. Then it showed that the next appointment is on 20th March. That is about the time i will be delivering though due date is 5th April.

Am considering the fact that I will havento spend a lot to fly back to Nigeria and probably with my 5 year old girl. I just want to try again in Nigeria and confront my fears once and for all. It has been confirmed that the consulars in Tanzania do not give visas to nigerians living there because of 'strong ties in home country'. Another friend went 3 times and they beat allbtheir excuses of finance and string ties and the lady finally told her the final reason is because cbp wont let her pass with belly.
Please all, can I still get expedited date after I proceed with the applucation. I tried to look for option to expedite but couldnt find

Please do you think I can retract that 'admission' in my next application

Ramj:


it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

It's like someone who has stolen a friend's pen let's say in school answering yes to have you ever commited and been convicted of a criminal offence.

After I opened up here and was reprimanded, I decided to be honest as usually suggested here. So, when i came to that point, I answered yes to the question. Now, some friends were blaming me that that quedtion does not concern my situation. Am confused

Even if I reapply, should I keep clicking yes for that question or click no?

OmoBendel24:
@Nwebele ma,

"Have you ever sought to obtain or assist others to obtain a visa, entry into the United States, or any other United States immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means?" @The bolded makes that part of the form concern you in my opinion.

A key question remains, your overstay, was it done on approval or you just overstayed? Well, I think three years or so after the overstay ought to have softened that part. It's when you do above 365 days that earns you 10 years ban at the least....

I'm with the team that think you might still have a chance doing your interview in Nigeria, but it seems you are fast approaching your EDD, give it a try if you can push.

Don't be too hard on yourself too, may it be well with you on this quest!

Imagine! What mybpeople in Naija are getting with 12k budget. I tire o.

ozycy:
I guess this is same VO my friend met in Tanzania. She kept saying 30k kiniko. They are not so used to pregnancy/giving birth story like in Nigeria. Maybe you can come back and reapply. My friend applied twice and was denied

Thats what am thinking too

Brownshoogah:
Hmmmm.... I think your husband's second entry chat was the confirmation and the cbp wrote something down

I think you should try again though...if u can. U might meet someone more understanding.
