You can't make money from it again. Are you looking for big money or just survival? If it is just survival, I will do a thread on that and you can watch out for it.
Thank you. I am looking forward to the thread

No, i am in Nigeria.

My younger brother drivers a semi truck over there.

Though you have to start from somewhere, before driving for a someone/company, then buying your own truck, driving inter state.

Alright. I sent you a pm.

The road to America

By the end of March 2022, I have received responses for all my school applications. I have four total offers with one being funded. I was very happy but I decided to keep calm as I have read several cases of people being denied visas at the embassy.

I proceeded to arrange for the payment of my SEVIS and visa fees. I had a little delay with the payment of my SEVIS fee, so I could not pay on time. For this reason, I missed the early dates that were released for the interview. When the money was finally paid, I started looking for interview dates in Abuja. This process was arguably one of the hardest as dates were always not available. After a series of sleepless nights and sleeping on my computer keyboard, I managed to get a date that was a few days to resumption. I picked this date and began my preparation for the visa interview.

When it was two days before my interview, I left Ogun State for Abuja by road. Prior to this time, I have read news of kidnappings on the road. Although the news greatly disturbed me and my loved ones, the flight cost was exorbitant and going for that option would create a big hole in my finances considering my current and future expenses.

I got to Abuja at night and lodged at a guesthouse for two nights. On the day of the interview, I woke up very early and went to the US Embassy at Diplomatic Drive. When I got there, I met other people who were the for the same purpose and I went straight to the front. About an hour later, we lined up and were told to go in after the checks.

Throughout the process, I was so nervous because the stakes were so high. Since I was the first person in the queue, I was also the first person to be interviewed by the visa officer. My interview lasted for less than three minutes and I was approved. I quickly took my files and left the embassy for the guesthouse. Then I called my family and friends to inform them about the good news. It seemed surreal! My visa has been approved and I will be going to America!

A few weeks later, I booked my flight and the travel was scheduled for December. After spending time with my family and loved ones, I departed Nigeria for the United States in December 2022.


Yes, dreams do come true! I hope someone will try again one more time before giving up on life.

Congratulations

Have you gotten a job yet

If you want to make money in the United States;

1.......IT
2....... Truck driving
3....... Medical doctor
4....... Nursing

If you are serious, you can be making $30,000-$50,000 a month driving truck.

Per annum you make $360,000-$600,000

No truck driver here in the US will make near that amount each month no matter how hard he or she works, especially with the cost of fuel.. There are also strict regulations as to how many hours you can drive and how many you’re required to rest and be off in each 24 hour period and it’s very well monitored. Truck drivers can make great money but nowhere near $30,000 a month, not even gross.

Wow.

Congratulations 🎊.

I am actually in a situation right now. I also need a US visa interview date urgently. I am looking for class C-1 visa. It's not been easy I've paid an agent since 16th of January 2023 till now no reasonable date. I struggled on it and I'm still on it, I booked 21 Dec 2023 but I need a date in this February. Any information on a legit plug that can deliver??

Thanks

Worst job experience: working in the factory

By 7 pm which was the closing time, I was so exhausted that I could not carry my legs or raise my hands. But I did manage to shower before taking my leave. When I left the factory, I vowed never to continue that job no matter the situation. This became the worst job experience in my life. The time was early 2015.
