Hi all, has anyone flown virgin atlantic round trip from US to Lagos with expired GC and extension letter?

I have never flown virgin atlantic before, but I don't think you should have any issue, provided you have the "expired GC" and the extension letter with you . The only issue you might have is , you might be delayed a little bit, because they might want to verify the authenticity of the extension letter.

I hope this helps?

Americans have many jokes about life in Europe; but let's be honest: it's almost impossible not to give in to temptation when living in France. Eiffel Tower, Lovers' Bridge, summer cafes, fresh croissants and excellent French cuisine; it sounds like heaven on earth. France has always welcomed immigrants from all over the world. Available data shows that as of 2021, immigrants make up up to 10% of the country's population; up from 6.5% in 1968. This figure seems small until you realize that most other European countries are much more homogeneous. In Poland, for example, only 5% are immigrants. The governments of the United States and France have had a few disagreements here and there, but overall they have remained staunch allies. In fact, a 225-ton copper statue stands in New York City as a testament to the eternal friendship between the people of both countries. And as a result of these relations, there was a steady flow of immigrants in both directions. The article https://www.theurbancrews.com/travel/immigration-france/ makes it clear that France will be more accepting of immigrants than the United States. The governments of the United States and France have had a few disagreements here and there, but overall they have remained staunch allies. In fact, a 225-ton copper statue stands in New York City as a testament to the eternal friendship between the people of both countries. And as a result of these relations, there was a steady flow of immigrants in both directions. No one can deny that the United States is a country of hustle and bustle; it's part of his personality and one of the key reasons why he's so good. However, sometimes you just want to take a break from it all and relax a little to enjoy fine cuisine and great wine.

France is a lovely country to live in.

Yes o. � We in the USA are also Human being o. all I see around is Canada and UK

Guy afternoon ooo.

Please sir/ma, don't be offended ooo. I what to ask. Do you know anything about traveling to USA via sport particularly Judo? One of my brother was told he may travel through that route. He has started committing money in this journey already. Please if you do, how genuine is that?

First snow for this year here too. Last year was brutal. I'm ready for this one with all my gears

Guy afternoon ooo.

Hi everyone,

My husband and 2 children currently UK citizens but we’re moving to Houston Texas to start afresh. Please does anyone currently live in Texas and can show us the ropes and help us with this massive transition. My husband is a Business Analyst and I’m a pharmacist. How easy would it be for us to secure jobs there? Please bear in mind we’ll be coming in with green cards? Pls I’d really appreciate any advise that’ll help in terms of jobs, childcare, good church community preferably RCCG and of cos where we can get some good and cheap Naija food. Thanks in advance

Hi,

Houston Texas is an ideal place to start life afresh especially as immigrants. The city has a laaarge population of Africans particularly Nigerians so intergrating should not be a problem. In terms of housing, it would depend on if you are looking to buy or rent, for rentage, try look for zip codes with good schools for the kids (this is very important). Read their reviews on google and you may call the schools ahead for more information. Jobs, should not be too much of a hassle since you are coming in with green cards. Scouting around for data analysis/business analysis jobs, there are quite a few out there. Fir your hubby, he may need to re-certify or something like that if he wants to practise in the pharma field. Overall, your choice of Texas is a good one.

I once attended a party in houston that the next building is filled with NIgerian churches, from ground up to the 3rd floor. That tells you that Nigerian churches litters every where. lol

All the best !

Hey 🤠


1. There are many Avenues (Visa types) you can use to secure United States visa but the most common two are F-1 (study) and B-1/B-2 (visiting &Tourism) visas.

2. In the case of your brother , the kind of visa that sport men/women usually use to secure US visa is P-1 (entertainment) visa and if at all the Judo visa stuff is genuine, then your brother should be process along with Judo team. Anything sport should not be an individual process.

3. If the person that is processing the visa is transparent to your brother in the process , eg your brother knows the team or club he is going with , your brother have access to email correspondence and your brother can verify his invitation letter to attend the sporting event then you should be fine .

4. The last aspect is that your brother must attend a visa interview physically at the United States embassy. If the agent says otherwise and only demanded your brother's travel passport then you should be careful . 90% of all kinds of United States visa needs physical appearances inside the USA embassy for 1st timers.

5. Just be careful and be certain that the agent carries you along.


Best Wishes 🙏

You'll be fine.
You'll drive a lot in Houston so . Houses are huge lots of space. African stores are plenty.
Weather can get really really hot..like Maiduguri hot in the Summer.

Pace yourself for work for work. Try agencies first to get some contract work for US experience then full time roles would be easier



Check if you need any additional certifications to work as a pharmacist.
Lots of work for pharmacists in hospitals, at pharmacies or even in Big Pharma which is not bad if you are sales inclined.
You can look for ppl with you degree on LinkedIn who are working in the US.

yes bro. First snow of the year already. Winterization mode completed.

cuteboy2:
Hello. I'm new resident in Texas. In Dallas area. Just hit on this thread today. I'm on page 7 out of 26.

My main challenge is job. I have engineering background (MSc) . Can I DM you please?

Would appreciate help and connections from others in DFW area.

You should look online to find some jobs, there are many platform which will help you to get good job

Thank you so much for your response. I’ve done my accreditations and just waiting to do the Toefl Ibt which needs to be done in- house and then a couple of other professional exams before I can practice in the US. I’ve also befriended a lady I met on Facebook forum currently living in Texas as well and has done some of the exams I’m yet to do……hoping she’ll show me around and how to navigate the job market.

My next question please for anyone in the house.
1. Will the interview letter highlight the specific vaccinations that my husband and I will need?

2. Does anyone remember what questions were asked by the visa officer? This is so we can start practicing. I’m quite nervous cos I’ve never had a visa interview before

Thanks in advance

Interview for what ?

Your green card? That is your permanent residence card?
If your based outside rhe US then you'd wait for the embassy jn your country to send you interview date. Typically you would get a notice to do medicals before rhat date. The hospital or clinic will tell you what you need to do. I'f you already have vaccinations you've done take evidence to the clinic.
Everyone will do medicals.

For the visa interview they will just check docs submitted to NVC as the basis for the green card. Take copies with you. They may ask questions about relationship between petitioner.

There is nothing to the interview

There is a thread about NVC stage on nairaland

Don't overthink this, you're moving to a new country...so give yourself time to adjust.

You never even collect green card sef lol

It is the medical interview that is giving me great concern. My husband and I were born in Nigeria and we have no vaccination evidence. Would the interview letter say specifically which vaccinations we need to take? What about the ones from childhood? Would we need to take these again?

Also does anyone remember how they got evidence to show for the vaccinations given in Nigeria? Any information about this would be helpful to me guys and thank you.

Please send the link to the nvc stage on here in case anyone else needs it. Ese pupo

If you don't have your vaccinations from Nigeria it doesn't matter.
US already has a list of the vaccinations you will take. You'll know at the hospital they tell you to go to.
They may also take ,x-rays, urine and blood tests

So nothing to be anxious about. You don't need anything just appear for medicals . Information on where to go for medicals will be emailed to you. Print and carry it to medicals place. You might need to tale your passport with you if I remember well

how can a green card holder (father) bring his son to the US?

Okunrimeta:
Happy New Year to everyone ! I recently re-joined Nairaland after a long hiatus and I hope to be a good resource here. I currently live in Texas, feel free to ask any question(s).

I have lived in the US for two years before I left, I’m trying to come back now and I already have a visa in my hand (Glory to God). However, I’m divided between settling in Florida and settling in Baltimore MD. But anytime I mentioned the idea of Baltimore, people make it looks like anyone that stepped there is gonna be dead in a jiffy due to high crime rate. I’d really prefer B-more but I’m scared. Is crime that material that it’s almost a guarantee to die by merely landing in Baltimore?

Yes you can.

Its faster its the kid is below 21 and unmarried. Married kids and above 21 falls under the 2B catergory.

You will need to file i-130 with USCIS, note that the average wait time may exceed 2 - 3 years or depending on when your PD becomes current.

More information can be found here

https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-green-card-holders-permanent-residents

File by yourself (it's doable) or talk to a lawyer.

Best of luck !

oyewilliams:

You need to make more research before you make a definite decision. Florida right now has stringent immigration laws that is driving undocumented folks out of the state.

I have no information about the crime rate in Baltimore, MD. Possibly some other folks living out there can assist in giving you first hand information.

Best of luck.

Hey! Curious to know how it's going with you. I just started reading here

Is there anyone living in the DMV Metro area? (Virginia-DC-Maryland). How is the Naija community over there? Also any specific zip code/neighborhood good for raising kids in the way of the Lord?
