Oreroyce, slimmy I'm delighted about your visa approval....congrats

Shout it out let everyone hear.. No be everybody destiny dey yankee... Gather a lot of money before traveling to the states... It's pretty difficult down there if you're an international student except you ggot scholarship and you must maintain a high GP to renew your scholarship... Gather a lot of money before traveling to Yankee... Odikwa dangerous... Lol

reekadohbanks:
Got another post for y'all. And like I said in my previous posts, you're gonna have to get used to my sense of humor and brash delivery. Now that we have that out of the way, lets begin
Now that you have been granted visa and you know deep down in your soul that you cannot afford close to $15k and above per semester (by the way, unless you get a TA/GA, limited scholarships or some type of grant, international students do not get any type of financial aid!), youre probably wondering "How I wan take do am?". Got a couple of ideas, some of which I tried out myself. First of all, the honest truth, which a lot of folks don't tell you is that it is EXTREMELY HARD for international students to find jobs. For example, it's practically almost impossible to find any under the table jobs at places like target, walmart or any retail chain (unless the manager is your father!) because they all do E-Verify. International students don't get SSN (unless you get a job in school, and before you start thinking smart, your SSN is only valid for school employment. It will be written on your SS card). Having said all that, you still have a few options, if you're smart enough and like the saying goes "naija boys no dey carry last". IF you're able to save up some money (3k-5k), you can buy a car when you get here and get your drivers license asap. With your car, you can find pizza delivery jobs that'll pay you under the table. Its not much, sometimes as low as $5/hr, but the more hours you work the more money you make. you can be doing this, while you try to figure out how to get your papers straight and then you can find a better job. The thing is even if youre a doctor in naija or a lawyer or anything, and you enter here with anythin other than an immigrant visa stamped on your passport, you won't get a job (for health professions, its a little different, but that will come in another post).
Its good to have a plan before leaving naija. I can't emphasize that enough.

This is just a bitter truth. Exactly what I have noticed here in Chicago. Indians and Chinese get jobs easily because of their network while it is difficlt for Nigerians.

imperiouxx:
I was never a minister but I'm only trying to help others in a way I could like every other races in the US.

The Indians and Chinese will always stay ahead of the Nigerians in the US.

They don't joke with the simplest information they gathered from one another and they listen attentively to those who have been in the system. This makes life easier for them but the Nigerians are scatter everywhere with different kind of predicaments.

The US visa is like an invitation to the river to fish, it doesn't teach how to set hook and line and start fishing.

You only learn how to fish better either by looking at others doing it or listening to others who have done it.

Surviving in the US goes beyond obtaining that ordinary visa..... It's people...... the right set of people.
