EB5 Visa is $1.05m, and if you agree to situate the investment in TEA zone, the figure drops to $800k.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all doing well. Please I am new to the forum and I would appreciate if someone can point me to the forum where I will get updates of interview dates release by US Embassy Lagos. I have been looking for an interview date for my beneficiaries and it's been difficult to get one. If you perhaps see any available date, kindly let me know at compassionatelinda@outlook.com

Thank you all so much in advance.

pls which state is more peaceful in the united state ? Asking for a cousin thnks.



Everywhere is peaceful guy. Just be yourself, learn to mind your business, no put eye for wetin no concern you, mind where you dey and the activities you're doing at every minute of the day and always pray for God's protection, then you go fit live a peaceful life.

Peace in the States, is not a matter of the state you reside in, instead it's a matter of the City you reside in. All the big cities are quite unsafe, most especially Chicago, Baltimore and New York (your opinion may be different). If you want peace, just try any small city or town, avoid the big cities.

Book your flight to LAX
Los Angeles
You can be in the mountains (Big Bear or Mammoth Mountains) learning to snowboard in the morning and be sitting at the beach sipping mojito as you watch the sunset by evening.

Next day you can hike to Hollywood Sign and by evening, walking down Sunset Boulevard.

Next day, rent a surf board and join the people surfing before sunrise (5am-6am) at Santa Monica Beach. By afternoon, rent a bicycle and ride from Venice Beach to Santa Monica trying loads of dishes and food.

By evening time, jump on a whale and dolphin watching ship at Redondo Beach.

If you are into clubbing, there are tons of dive bars everywhere, but Inglewood has more bars for blacks. Anytime from 3pm is fantastic.

Indulge in Spanish food as there are food trucks and very good Mexican restaurants everywhere.

Hello wonderful peeps,

1. Is being vaccinated against Covid 19 compulsory?

2. Can I bring along foodstuffs such as yam flour, grounded egusi, crayfish and ogbono, and gari

3. is my i-20 and my admission letter okay at Poe

4. will $2000 be sufficient as a BAT for the poe agent.

Thank you. I'm grateful for your prospective answers.
