Invite her to come to Naija. Marry her at the marriage registry in Ikoyi. She will process some documentations here at the embassy. Then she would fly back to USA and process some documents at the US immigration

Then you can easily come over with K-1 spousal visa.

Good luck

I really appreciate you sir for your reasonable comment. But, the woman took me as a son not a lover. Any other way of luck?

Invite her to come to Nigeria, she would adopt you and file all the necessary paperwork to bring in her child/dependent to the states.

Easy peasy!
Good luck

Start date - JSS1 to End date - SSS3.

Hello House! Please If someone has 10.3 M SOA and a deficit of $18600, does it make sense or no sense to show at the embassy. And his sponsor equally has a business account full with loads of money? The person in question wants to go with only the 10.3M SOA without her sponsor biz account, is it ideal? Should she go with both or go with only the SOA?

Thanks

It's very important you fill it considering the VO asked me the year I graduated from secondary school during my interview. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't have asked that.

[quote author=lilfrancis100 post=101571101]Please I need your advice on this. I just checked my visa interview application portal only to see that only my surname and first name are showing. On my i20, I have my middle name included. On my passport, I have my middle name included. On my Ds160 I also have my middle name included. Do you think this will be an issue during the visa interview? I don't know if this is how everyone's profile is because I am believing that I filled my middle name while creating the profile (not so sure of this). I need suggestions on what to do since I have not scheduled an interview but I have already paid and entered an MRV receipt number. Thanks for your anticipated response

I would also have the opportunity to learn from various students from different backgrounds.

OR

B. If you look at some of the biggest tech companies in the world like Amazon, Facebook, Google, and others, business analytics is a huge part of their company. They are able to use data to predict people's decisions or make reasonable forecasts, all because of data. I would have the opportunity to learn from them as the school hosts regular events with them so students can learn about these things.

A. Database management, Analysis modeling, programming with python, Business intelligence, Project management, Network designs, security, and privacy

Also since I am the first child and only son of my mother it is my responsibility to take over her business, which is the haulage company I have mentioned, which has provided a lot for us.
And lastly, I would like to use the knowledge to improve and grow a website I am personally working on with a small team that combines tech with the real estate sector.

Q. Have you traveled before?
A. Yes, I have been to about 7 countries

@Lagosismyhome @fairheart @walspring @Shuayb0

Add that there is no university in Nigeria that offers Masters in Business Analytics or Business Intelligence . That will solidify your point. Then, the rest is story

Please I need your suggestions, does changing my residential address in my DS160 pose a red flag? Should I put the one I had there in my previous DS160 or I should put my current address?

Background information: I have been to the embassy before and my location has changed within these 6 months.

KemLaughs, I do have questions as well. Please, can I get a WhatsApp details. I sent an email on this platform already, I am not sure you got it. Thanks

The person should go with both. The more the proof of funding provided, the better. That's my opinion.
