I'm here sipping on COKE and waiting for sleep to come. I can't wait for the day to get started because I'm gettin on a plane today to NY. To all those who are going for their interview I want you to know God is in control. He did it for me so he would do it for you too. I would like to thank the chairmen of the house for all their support. God bless America!

Wow, This is always the case with Naija concerts. Organization is always lacking.
On the other hand Najia concert fans never show up on time for the concert to begin, at least that was my experience.

tewizle:
Yeah I got a mail from NVC office a year ago telling me they were out of visa numbers like you said.but the thing is they recently mailed me asking me to assign a choice of agent does that mean they now have a visa number for me?
I'm unmarried,23 yrs old and my mum is a legal permanent resident.

Tegese:
seems you subtracted 7 only, maybe you can try to adjust it a bit more, or will it become too obvious?

tewizle:
Can someone Pls shed more light on the Us LPR application process.My mother petitioned for me four years ago,and they replied me this year asking me to assign a choice of agent.Now the qxn I would like answered is how much longer is it going to take before I get my visa?I have been patient over the years,but I'm afraid I'm running out of it.

lol it doesnt seem you have the capacity to converse without feeding your ego by insulting others. be my guest.

lol no it doesnt dumbo. I OWN an EAD card at present and i have NOT applied for a green card. My brother worked with an EAD card and he didnt have a green card application "pending". Sorry dude, just yelling does not make you smart.

The EAD card is given to folks whose green card applications have been APPROVED but have not yet obtained the card. [b]First you have to apply for an adjustment of status I-485 form to obtain the card if you doing so either to apply for a green card[/b] (without having to return to your country) and/or you presently have an expiring H1B visa. Please read this link and disabuse yourself of such silly ignorance. http://www.immihelp.com/immigration/employment-authorization-document.html

Besides, the lady in question CANNOT apply for an EAD card as she is presently OUT OF STATUS and ILLEGAL according to the law. You have to prove LEGAL status on your application for an EAD . . . for example as a student you MUST provide a copy of your VALID I-94, newly issued I-20 . . . as an green card applicant you MUST present a I-485 form. Where is she going to get those from? thin air?

lol yelling and cursing only makes you sound silly.

lol no they arent dear . . . i use the EAD card for example so silly folks like you cant just come and be blabbing here.

You seem to be talking to urself . . . be my guest dude.

davidylan:
i just happen to have lived here for 6 yrs and had to deal with US immigration all that time.

davidylan:
This is completely absurd. She's illegal so how will she obtain an employment authorization document? That document is reserved for temporary workers like foreign students on an internship or optional practical training after school.

davidylan:
For starters . . . nothing an immigration lawyer can do about this.

2. your SIL is an adult and only the sibling to a citizen . . . it will take her a good 15 yrs or thereabout as she is not considered a priority case (children or citizens who are below 18, spouses of citizens e.t.c.)

3. she made a bad mistake going illegal. That will be a stumbling block should her application finally come through, she will be asked to go back to Nigeria to get her visa (you cant get a US visa in the US) and the consular officer back home has the power to deny her a visa because of her present status.

4. What was she doing all those yrs? Couldnt she have married or gotten a work visa?

4ril:
Sorry about that chiazogom.

But what is it with that Chinese woman self? Somehow, I just believe that her major job responsibility is to deny every applicant. If not, why is it that every applicant she interviews is denied? I am aware that "No SAT score and No TOEFL score are red flags. But from all I have read about her, I'm not sure she would have given you the visa even if you have those standardized exams. Wetin be her own self?

My advice for you.

Please do not give up. Try again. But if I were you, I would defer my admission to spring 2011, and take those exams. If you cant take the two, take one at least. Honestly, that is what I did. I was admitted to a graduate school for this fall, and GMAT was waived for me because of my strong GPA. But the gurus in the house advised me to take the GMAT regardless of that, because the consular officers could use that as an excuse. I followed the advice, and took the GMAT. My score was not that high, but I don't really mind because I have been admitted already. The GMAT is just for embassy formality. I have to defer my admission to spring 2011 because of the GMAT I just took. My girl friend in the States is mad at me because I have to defer when I have been admitted for fall already. But I told her I would rather defer and wait 3 more months in Nigeria than be denied, even when I can see the red flag in my own application. My advice might be the last you will want to consider now, but I think it's safer that way. Because I am sure the next time you go, the consular might likely ask for any changes/improvement on your application or status. If everything remains the same, and you get the Visa, just know you got it due to divine favour, and not because you merit it. It is stated on the US embassy that you should be ready to present your standardized test scores. Even if your school does not require it, I think the consular wants to see it.

On a final note, having all the documents doesn't guarantee the visa especially with that dreadful chinese woman they are talking about. However, we should always be prepared. God is more than everyone in that cubicle and his favour shall never depart from us. No one shall be on our way to fulfilling our dreams, and not even that Chinese or chinko woman. For those of you still going for your visas this month, go in peace and come back with testimonies.

[size=14pt]To those already on F-1 Visa in the US,

whats the real deal anyway?

I ve been informed by good friends on F-1 status that both Postgrad students and undergrad students cannot work off campus in the USA (F1 status requirement), Unlike UK where you are allowed to work off campus and make some £££ but with limited hours (i know this because I did bachelors in UK). Is this truely the case in the states? if so, is this the case everywhere in the states? or dependent on school or state?. US schools out of state tuition is jst ridiculous, I m just curious how you guys survive in the US without been able to work off campus esp wiv huge tuition and fees, coz i m very sure on campus jobs will be too cmpetitive especially in schools wiv loads of int'l students. Can you guys shed more light on these please so prospective students interested in US study could be better informed, know reality and plan their finance in advance. [/size]

Unless u dont mind dealing with fat ugly white women

Siena:
Why criticize someone else's taste? I fail to see why you'd poke fun at a married couple, regardless of the reasons. Or paste what appear to be pictures from a wedding album, obviously without permission. Very unfair.

It's no worse than a 86-year-old Nigerian man marrying a 17-year-old virgin, yet I don't see any such pictures posted on here.

This is the only sensible post here.

Oga me, i sent a buzz, no reply!


Was issued visa 3pm 29th july, got my visa at hand at 2pm 30th july,

not up to 24hrs!!!!!!

omega25red:
so i made a mistake about the green card holders. Big deal the fact here is the original poster is attempting to sell free college to visa holders that was my point. I had a green card and i did get financial aid too. I guess i should have said documented people get financial aid.

omega25red:
i have lived in the u.s for about 16 years now and i don't know a university that is free.

Those who go to school for[b] free are financial aid people and those guys are citizens and besides financial aid doesn't even cover all your tuition and books anymore because the govt has cut a lot of the benefits.[/b]Now you coming from a different country think you can go to a uni for free? that is a joke.


scholarships is the only other way and academically exceptional people or athletes get that

The thing is he is a business person and at times wen funds come in and a new business shows up, he has to quickly try sort them out. and u know it wld be kind of selfish if I tell him to put his busness on hold because of my own plans (afterall na from dat business we go raise money for the masters degree) what are the things I should prepare to say if they ask about those deposits.
Please help out.

Vicjustice:
Coolie is smart to have pointed out your contradictions.
Spouse simply means, a person's partner in marriage. So, what are you now trying to explain with these conflicting facts? Or, are you in a civil partnership with a man, are you Gay?
Actually, it doesn't bother me whether you are or you are not, i'm only looking at the discrepancies on your given marital status.

shilling:
What on earth are you talking about? What hope? What wish? I've lived/live in both places, and that's been my experience, and the experience of many people I know.

I wonder why people are so crazy about the USA? I really don't get it. Go to Canada, same quality of education; and you'll pay less. Besides, I've experienced both and Canada is waaaay better.

Unless you're attending an Ivy League school or another one way up, save your money and go to Canada.

bebure:
@ gongo aso: U r too funny. Thanks. I go follow your advice, it seems straight forward[b]. I also have a US visitors visa at the moment and did my undergrad in the UK yet I'm in Nigeria to get a students visa. I think that proves I have no intention of running away from Nigeria. [/b]
