What Do U Do After Spending $79k On A Masters Degree In USA With No Work Permit by irumole1975(op): 3:15pm On May 14
What are Nigerians in this situation doing right now? Nigerians have been banned from seeking work permit in America. From working. From seeking permanent residency. The only option given by the international student office is to leave for a while.

How do u pay back these loans?

What are yall doing?

They should follow the advice of international student office.

During their visa interview, they told the consular of their post study plan. Which is to return back to Nigeria to use their knowledge in their home country.

If it's STEM course, look toward Canada and Australia.

There are better countries than USA with better opportunities and living standards.
Always do your due diligence before embarking on journeys like this.

MOREOVER, BEFORE THEY GRANTED YOUR VISAS, MANY OF YOU TOLD THE CONSULAR THAT YOU'LL BE RETURNING TO THE COUNTRY AFTER YOUR PROGRAM, WHY THE COMPLAIN NOW?

No be by force to live for USA

Some of my people are in this shoes now. They are considering day 1 CPT, it seems that is still active.

But the issue with that too is that your tuition payment will eat up most of the salary too

That money is like 100# to some people around you. Dat you don't have it for now doesn't mean others don't have it. A friend of mine spent about 10 million naira in a club Last Sunday. And he also bought iPhone 17 pro Max to 7 of his siblings

Nope, some African and Asian countries too were impacted.

But na naija own guys dey interested in as per se we be naija.

It is worst that even people that join the military with their green card are not getting citizenship. They seems to be pausing that too.

That is millions of naira...
Even with the current inflation and situation here in Nigeria,if that money was wisely invested in a business, you would be a comfortable business owner right in your own country...
But that inferiority complex and yearning for a perfect life (that doesn't exist anywhere) will not allow some Nigerian to be contented!!

COMRADES, I think, I'll advise they return home, since they cannot secure a job over the study loan should be forfeited by the host country

Mhenn this is where long term planning would have been helpful.

I know people who pre-empted all these early enough in Joe Biden’s tenure and got Canadian PR even though they didn't need it at that point.

Another lady (pharmaceuticals career) got in early, years ago and completed her bachelors. Trump's first term was during her 3 years STEM-OPT, H1B was unsuccessful in the first year, she didn't even bother to re-apply, she quickly redirected her efforts to Ireland through their critical skills list PR pathway and left US before her time was due.

Being abroad gives you some form of increased mobility, don't tie yourself to one country. The goal is to be in a better environment that can support your growth which is not one country in particular.
