Abeg, make una dey manage me not posting frequently. the main thing on my mind is my green card. I don check my application taya.

I have been reading about the interview process. My madam talking point for some days now na "babe, don't worry" "babe, it's ok. you're already a citizen. They just haven't given you your passport".

I have to be honest with you. A lot of Americans don't know what it entails to be resident or naturalize. They just think it is as easy as A,B,C.

There is so much misinformation going on in today's America. People have willfully refused Knowledge in Recent times. The political climate is so tense (most especially about Immigration). A lot of people don't go with facts anymore. They deal with things that align with their point of view. It is tiring having to explain to people how the immigration system works

Guy M and Guy R falls in these categories. guy R happens to be more knowledgeable though. He is willing to listen to your point of view. but guy M is another story. He has shown me so much misinformation he saw on Facebook or heard on FOX news so many times. I had to explain to him several times how these things work. But since it didn't appeal to his view point, he disregards them.

one example is that he strongly believe undocumented immigrants are claiming social security benefits (it is false. Undocumented/illegal immigrant and even legal permanent residents who newly arrived in the US do not qualify for almost all benefits)

He also believes people are bringing their sister, bothers, parents, nephew, cousins, etc to the US. This is not entirely true. only people that has immigration benefits are direct relations of a United states citizens (spouse, siblings and parents) and even at that, for siblings, the wait time is so long. You are better off winning the lottery.

My point is there is a wave of willful/blatant ignorance flooding the US right now through every information medium. People don't get into Arguments anymore with facts.


PS: guy M's family is from Italy. He speaks fluent Italian. His mum and her sisters fled Italy to seek better opportunity in America where she met her husband (guy M's Dad) who also came from Italy during those years that Italy was the biggest Shithole

Fox news is the number 1 propaganda outlet of the Republican Party and their followers are bunch of Deplorables.They have little or no sense at all to do critical thinking of their own..

I was given 2 years visa to participate in a competition in USA from 12-18 but the dates of the competition will be clashing with my school exam. So I might not be able to go for the competition. I hope it won't affect me later when I intend to travel to USA by December this year for Xmas I don't want to be sent back at the point of entry USA because by then my motives of getting the visa will be different. How will I be able to defend myself so that I won't be deported at the point of entry. I am 23 years. I need answers please.

I'll suggest you send a mail to the US embassy for record purpose about the change of intent. And also maybe a mail to the competition organizers to let them know you won't be attending. It's all for record purpose. Just in case...

Won't they withdraw the visa?

Lol.. nope.

I don't think they can do that. CBPO has that power tho.

Honestly, there's no bid deal about a Visa. You only feel there is if you ever get denied. The biggest deal is actually immigration control and making it into the US.

Spent the entire weekend reading through this thread from page one, was like reading a novel for real like someone already said.

Nice thread BJ, you are a resourceful and sharp guy like myself
Greetings to everyone else. We will all make it in the end but you have to follow your own path, not anyone else's and also do a lot of research.

Knowledge is the most powerful tool anyone can have.

Before i got my b1b2 last year, i put in almost a years worth of research and investigation and i got it on my first attempt with virgin passports for myself and all members of my family, without paying anything to anyone.

Right now i can be an immigration lawyer sef with all the amount of knowledge and information ive gathered about the entire US immigration process.

What ive realised is that theres nothing we the youth of Nigeria cannot achieve if we were enabled, thats why we travel out and do get very successful in whatever we venture.

Hope to be in the states by next month God willing.
BLOW..success with your interview mehn.

No, the visa will not be withdrawn but you stand a chance of deportation/cancelation of visa if you do not send the mail to the consular about your change of purpose.
I can bet there is 90% chance you will be asked about it at the port of entry.

This is what i mean. It is best you have a reason why the visa was not used for its initial purpose than you start stuttering in front of an immigration officer. So, for RECORD purpose. send them an email, If possible include your exam schedule.

You will most likely be stamped for 6months on entry, meaning you shouldnt stay more than that, if after your conference you stay a while back and hustle, no one is stopping you but its gonna be an abuse of d visa tho and illegal. Remember you told the VO and CBP officer you wud b spending a few days, if you stay too much longer it could raise eye brow on your next entry, but the real problem will be if you stay longer than the 6months

Hehehehe Mrs K why so petty ��


BlowJobs:
Nothing special is happening in my life. It is boring.

3/4 days of work per week

studying for an Exam

Watching so much TV nowadays.

Honestly, i wish i can post all day. But.. life is so boring.

Boredom will get me in trouble.

Here is a little "exciting" story..... (sorry I'm sharing this Mrs K if you read this grin)

My "ex" (*i don't know what to call it cos we never actually dated*) from 3 years ago sent me an email few days ago. she said Nigeria is being talked about in the news and she missed me. She asked when next i'm coming to the US. she would like for us to hang out again.

Mrs K replied with a picture of her flashing her ring grin (she can be petty like that grin). I am waiting for her to reply..

i am bored tho. i have been tracking my application over and over like it will suddenly say "interview Scheduled" grin

Bro. I have a question.
What sorta birth certificate did you submit?. It seems my NPC birth certificate isn't acceptable.

I got my biometrics letter today. But from what i have been reading and what my oga Lionell told me our naija birth certificatw na error404

Kindly inform me what cert you submitted. Thank you

@blowjobs Sorry been very busy, I used my Naija birth certificate. There is absolutely NO problem with using your Naija birth certificate, I am not sure where Lionell got his information from. The only problem is if you are using age declaration or something similar. If you lost your original birth certificate you can get another one from the hospital where you were born.
I just did my green card interview this week and I will give a rundown of how it went later today.

A friend went for green card interview and the officer told him that NPC attestation of birth is not allowed and he got RFE for birth certificate on the spot.

I Got rfe too and my birth certificate. I used NPC attestation of birth.. my friend got rfe too.

The only person that didn't get was the one that used birth certificate
