@blowjobs So I read about the new cannabis law in new York and I remembered your wife's marijuana plant.. Hope it blossomed.

she harvested it like 2 months ago. it blossomed. one of the four 60 dollars seeds made like 120$ worth of weed. She lost one seed and now have two seeds left.

She bought this water bong like that and smoked it all in the space of like a week.

She knows she can't smoke now though, i'll be mad. i have reprimanded her about it and now she's "grounded". Her weed privileges and passes have been revoked by me grin. ( actually, we found out we are expecting from her being sleepy kind of and i confronted her about breaking my house rules, She denied that she is just really tired and been sleepy a lot)

@ BlowJobs, biko is it possible for a greencard holder to file for his/spouse outside the US or only us citizen are allowed to file?

Yes, green card can file (depending on how they get their green card)

However, the process is longer based on Country of the beneficiary.

For Citizens filing for their Spouse/Parents/kids, it is faster. Visa categories for Immediate family of USC are unlimited.

@blowjobs. Nice job u are doin. Plz i am a young lawyer planning to move to the u.s early next year but from the look of things i heard nursing is highly lucrative and i am thinkin of switching fields. I dont have a science background and i didnt write any science subject in my waec. Hw possible is it for me to switch and what are the steps to be taken. Tnx and safe delivery to mrs k

Nursing is easy and not easy. Depends on your mind set.

You'll be required to take some Science courses and yes, you can easily switch field ( especially if you have the money). A lot of people have done it in the past.

The only reason why people think nursing is "lucrative" is because you can't be out of employment. You can easily get a job being a nurse. In fact, Jobs will "fall on your laps".

There's nothing lucrative about working really really long hours to make 4000-6000 per month. There are several IT people that make that and more without working long hours. Even some waiters at restaurants make that amount (or more depending on season and Tips from customers)

giving birth to your child in Canada could deny that child the right to run for the office of the president

But then since the child's mum is a natural born US citizen, that may be a waiver. just saying

The Canada thing may not be necessary tho, just my opinion.

Someone asked me what i think of 'Arrangee Marriage" via PM and i want to reply openly here.

I hate it. i really really hate arrangee and i think people that do arrangee are not smart. I understand lots of Immigrants are just trying to make a better life for themselves and families BUT arrangee isn't the way to go.

It is expensive, it makes the whole process even more worrisome, it keeps your mind unsettled and it can make your situation worse if you got unlucky. Even if you got lucky, you might still face issues in the future regardless of you becoming a citizen or not.

lets analyze it together.

You paid money to someone to marry you and pretend to be your wife, you paying for her upkeep all during the process, pay for bills and documents together in your name, paid lawyer and then your "wife" keeps calling for for more money every time threatening to end the process if you don't. Even if she doesn't threatening you, getting hold of her is a big problem, you can't reach her cell, she doesn't pick your call, she ignores you, doesn't fill the documents you send to her or doesn't send you the documents you need. how does that put your mind at ease?

lets imagine she did all that and your interview is fast approaching. you start to panic because you don't know your "arrangee" wife very well and not sure the questions the interviewing officer will ask. You got unfortunate and your interview went south and application was denied. things start getting worse from there because you need more money for the process and most likely "new wife" and now immigration has your record that you filed before. so now it is really really hard to prove you are genuine. so, your life becomes hell, you can have deportation order against you for immigration Fraud while you spend years in the US without proper documentation. you start speaking "i wanna, i gonna" to your naija people with nothing to show for years of living in the US.

Lets assume you got through and your interview was successful. 3-5 years later, you become citizen and doing well for yourself. you have money and already married your naija wife after Divorce from your Arrangee and things are going fine. Then out of the blue, your arrangee wife showed up are requested more money or else she is going to immigration. The thing is if she can prove you paid her (which most likely she will be able to prove), your citizenship can be revoked based on fraud regardless of the amount of years you have spent in the US. you got deported and lost everything.

So, now tell me, how is arrangee a good thing?

I tell all my friends, there are tons of ladies that will help you in the US without paying 1naira to anyone. Yoou just have to be straight forward, enter the relationship in good faith. Even if she is mean to you, be focus know that it is for a short period, be kind and good to her (and document abuse for her if she is abusive. Don't be stupid about that). Even if you finally decided to part ways in the future, it will be mutual agreement and you both will appreciate each other for the wonderful times spent together and no one can claim you "used them for papers".

Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 10:31pm On Jun 13, 2018
The people that pisses me more are the Single naija guys that has never been married before doing "arrangee".. Are you all stupid or something. Do you guys have low self esteem or something.

So, if you have never been married before you can't set a goal for yourself?. So you mean you can't find someone that you both make each other happy even if not for life, for at least 5 years/ Really? you have to pay one old ugly/young,fat lady to marry you? really people?

I understand the married people in Naija to a certain extent that move to the US to get their papers. But why do you guys lie a lot? i don't understand why?. i won't recommend you to keep lying about your past just to get papers. These ladies are humans, they have feelings, they get emotional, get get heart breaks, the can be depressed, suicidal all because you get their hopes and emotions so high and shatter it in the end. There is Karma and i believe in it.

You all do these and later bring your gf/wives from Nigeria and they make you lives miserable afterwards. KARMA!!!

Bonne Chance mon Frère, et félicitations

it is not necessary. it is just my wish. And also for wider job/school opportunities plus health benefits for the kids when they grow older. Schools are expensive here in America. So also is medical costs. I just wanna give the kids an opportunity to choose in the future. I wish someone gave me that opportunity to choose the citizenship i want.

Also, not really true about the Presidency. i feel the republicans are big Hippocrates. Ted Cruz was born in Canada to Cuban dad and American mum, yet it wasn't a big deal running for president. However, they wanted to see Obama's birth certificate.

Lol!! May be not. Some people have waited that long and eventually got the green card.

BTW, if you are young with age that might give you hope to at least wait that long.

Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by TsunamiHot: 10:59am On Jun 14, 2018
I have a friend that the "arrangee" husband didn't show up on the day of the interview. She later got someone else and it went well.
I think it's a little bit easier for women to scale through with arrangee marriages as men marrying USC are scrutinised more...
It's illegal and wrong but las las "one has to do what one gas to do"

That's not entirely true.

Revoking of citizenship can only be done if evidence shows it was obtained by fraud...it will also need the intervention of a judge to revoke such citizenship.
Trump has set up a task force through USCIS comprising of mostly lawyers to look at how the passports of around 20 million naturalized american citizens can be revoked.Some have had their passports revoked for the simplest of things like a lady that didn't admit she was gay in her 1989 application,an indian for an intentional mistake on his first name .. and so many other very minor infractions.Read The New Yorker of 18th JUne 2018 with the title In America,NATURALIZED citizens no longer have an assumption of permanence

You are still fixated on arangee after Mouth Gig's extensive advice.You think an american citizen will like to dent his record with jail term by appearing for a fraudulent interview with a foriegner?Lol If he or she collects your money and quietly disappears before interview,will you call the police on him/her?if they seperate the 2 of you during interview and ask you invasive and thorough questions like the color of your closet or bathroom,kitchen etc,do you think you will escape deportation to lagos that day?I don' t know why our people always wallow in so much ignorance and foolishness in this mordern age and still think of themselves as smart people ..smh

A lot of us Nigerians will test positive for TB and we don't even know..

This is something we all need to be aware of especially people starting a new job that requires TB test

I don't understand this, are you advising taking TB vaccine shots before leaving or discouraging it?

Please clarify

regardless, revocation of citizenship is not what is done by the snap of a finger.
