Amefrica:For some reason I can't explain, I always laugh whenever I read your posts. Keep it up please..... ![]() |
davidylan: my sister, as i dey look am e be like say that road don close oh. Na only oyinbo full this side. anyway, God talk say all of us na the same.David Good to see you here again. I remember you from the USA Student Visa Thread, I can't forget your words of advice and your congratulatory message to me when I got my Visa few years ago. I am happy you are doing good and living the America dream. Wish you all the best always bro. |
Seunolumonday, Sorry to hear about your denial. I have been waiting for long to hear the good news. Anyways, you already know what the problem is. And just as gurus here advised, please defer the admission and go back to the embassy again. You have a good heart and someone like you deserves the best. The VISA is yours. |
Happy birthday BigFrancis. Enjoy !!!! |
Ms Nas: As you said....it has a clause.What are you feeling like? ![]() |
imperiouxx:Lol...Web is correct. I have been researching ways of legally changing a status from F1 to GC ever since I stepped into this country. Adjustment through marriage is just one of them and the most common. I have friends who passed through that route and are happily married today with their wives. I learned a lot from these guys. And for me, I thank God for where I am today. Only HIM deserve all the praises. Webstradamus: Don't send any bill oo. Na management level I dey for here sir.... ![]() |
Babyosisi, Dayokanu, Wallie et. al - You guys are just so on point. I agree with all your points. |
webstradamus: No ... experiential knowledge ![]() |
shynepapin101: His wife should know better, moreso, all that is needed is provided online, Google has been my best friend.- His wife may not know better. You will be surprised that many people in the US don't even know anything about visa or how to help friends or families with visa parole. How would the wife even know better when she is not an immigration lawyer? - Since you are not sure on your second point, I won't hold you on it. But for record purpose, Biometrics + Form I-485 cost a total of $1070. The poster already have a form I-130 (costs $420) that has been approved. This summed together is less than $1500. The only thing he would be paying for aside I-485 is medical examination which in most cases is between $200-$500 depending on the surgeon. Assuming a medical examination of even $1k (not even possible), the poster would still be spending less than $2500. You should ask your brother how he got to pay $4k5. Well, maybe he paid a lawyer, I can't rule that out. Again, if you will file yourself without a lawyer, you will never spend up to $4k5. - What do you mean by change of status and GC? Your status can only change when your application is approved, when you pass the interview. And like I said earlier, this usually happen within 2-6months of filing. I have seen people get it in 2months. You should get your green card in the mail within 2-3weeks after you have been approved. I don't understand what you meant by change of status and authenticating. Please explain better. - Lastly, we are all watched in the US if you don't know and not only people adjusting status. Although, they conduct a background check on these sets of people but why would you care about who is watching you or even investigating if your marriage is genuine? More reason why I said the poster's case is straight forward and doesn't need a lawyer. He only needs to file properly and go for interview. Let's always get our facts right before coming here to confuse people please. |
foohard: Sorry, I forgot to ask. Who is suppose to do the filing, me or my wife?We shouldn't derail this thread. You can send me a PM. |
foohard: Thanks boss. God bless youYou're most welcome. God bless you too. |
foohard: Hello house,Now, you need to file forms I-485 (Application to adjust status), I-1765 (Application for employment eligibility) and if you want to travel in between, form I-131 (Advanced parole). When submitting these, do not forget to include form I-797(Notice of action that your I-130 was approved). You shouldn't spend more than $2k to file. This includes payment to a surgeon for the compulsory medical examinations. I would advise you not to use a lawyer since your case is straight forward. All supporting documents needed to proof legit marriage can be found on the USCIS website. All things being equal, you should expect to be a LPR between 3-6 months of filing. All the best. |
No one even knows who strikes the most between Thunder and ASUU. This country sha...May God change our leaders. |
Amefrica: It was rescheduled.. She's gonna post her successful interview experience before this month ends..Thanks. |
[size=14pt]Seunolumonday[/size] : How did your interview go? -OjaP |
You all have spoken well. I have learned one or two things from both sides. However, I would say someone who is educated here with a work permit will do well no matter what. If I am not mistaken, many Nigerians who come here for advanced degrees do well after their education. If any one is in doubt, please visit NL USA Student Visa thread. To some extent, I would say plan before coming to America, a Nigerian coming here for school will never regret his/her decision no matter what. For others who fall in other categories, I don't know. BTW, is Seun Osewa second handle Nobody ? That username is unique and I still can't open the person's profile. Is that person enjoying a special privilege from NL? Only Seun would enjoy that probably. |
Though we are not there yet. But with prayers, hard-work and sincerity on the part of our leaders, we will surely get to the promised land. Nigeria is so difficult to rule due to the diversity in culture, language and religion. So, it may take more than we expect for us to fully become a developed nation. We are always in the habit of running the government or the folks at the helms of affairs down each time we have the opportunity, this is not so good. While it is good to criticize, let us also make it a habit to do it constructively. Whether you are a Christian, a Muslim or even a traditionalist, let us all make it a duty to remember the nation called Nigeria in our prayers whenever we call on God or Allah. God can give us incorruptible leaders who will turn every thing around for us. How many times in our lives have we all said "God bless Nigeria"? All we do is speak negative of the country not knowing that prayers can move mountains. I know that one day, very soon, we will get there. I wish my dear country a happy independence day. All roads lead to Houston, Texas this weekend to celebrate. Happy 53rd Naija. |
flynbird: Huh?You don't need a SSN to obtain a driver's license. Your SS card will only make it easier as I explained earlier. With your SS card, you won't have to show so much docs such as visa page, I-20, debit card etc. (as the case may be). Each of the docs you show are assigned certain "points". If you earn the minimum points to obtain, then you are good to go. If not, they ask you for more to meet up. See Olawale's post above. |
flynbird: Been so busy with studies and settling down here. What's the importance of SSN? Do we need it as studentsNot compulsory but necessary. Some of the benefits include but not limited to the following: - Allows you apply for credit cards. - Buy things on credit. - Helping in getting a DL or state issued ID with ease without going through points counting as obtained in some states. Some jobs also require you to fill in your SSN when applying for jobs. These are just some of its benefits. |
imperiouxx: Dear ------,You think we can't quote you Congrats on that, you now need to build a rapport with this professor and carry him along in every steps of your application. Believe me, he won't have a choice when the time comes. All the best bro. |

You didn't tell us about you or your cousin's interview experience. Na wa for una oooo ![]() |
imperiouxx: Oh oh..... Thank you sir. I'm just clarifying that my knowledge about this isn't obsolete. An American that choose to go for a PhD will certainly be seen as a good seed by their government. Why won't he be accepted easily by many schools when the Indians and other int'l students dominate the grad schools. School ranking matters when it comes to PhD (being the highest level of education), this is the reason why I must get that Harvard admission by fire, by force..... God can do it! https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/characters/character0009.gifIt is not impossible. God can always do it. |
imperiouxx: ♫♪♫ When I get paid, my checks be lookin' like phone numbers! ♫♪♫Hahahaha....being the last working day of the month right? I want to be like you ooo ![]() So, you listen to Wiz Khalifa too?? |

dolapobello1: Today, I awoke to febrile paroxysms (a series of chills and fevers which is a diagnostic characteristic of malaria). Why today? Why on this very special day when I was to write my GRExam?With that kind of CGPA and GRE scores, I would apply to the following Unis. John Hopkins Harvard Stanford UC Berkely or Davis Yale Penn State After picking 4 schools from the above, I would then pick 3 other safety schools in case. I wouldn't settle for less. Congrats!! |

I'm only happy for her for being smart and also taking a risk. She studied every bit of interview here before going to the Embassy. So i think it was a piece of cake for her.Don't be too sure.
