Paccus, you asked a question and someone posted this response...



Very Very Very narrow minded answer.


A young Nigerian acquires a Bsc, puts together thousands of $, packs his/her bags, and heads off to a foreign land and Babyvet thinks our greatest achievement will be to have married an American?

There are several options to regularizing one's stay in the US. 1 Masters and 2 PhD candidate self petitioned for themselves in 2017/2018.

Several companies have processed the H1b for at least 10 graduates I can think of as I type. This happened between 2018-2019.

As Lionlee has pointed out, in some situations, the paperwork was already filled before the wedding took place. 'Please stay in the U.S with me' naim remain make chics deh tell boys.

I won't be replying BabyV anymore, her thought process na one way.

Lol, but that’s how you got your papers though .

Oga Macky, you never still tell us how your 4.0GPA dey open way for you oo, that gist go encourage other students in US oo.. we are all learning from your experiences

* Try to attend a well known school
The school rank musn't necessarily be up there.
- I experienced fast tracked clearance at the Houston Point of entry by virtue of my school - 'Texas aNm, that's a very good school' said the Cbp officer... Bam.. Bam.. I was stamped in.

- If you desire student loans, issuers will listen to you. Your school name will already be listed as one of their preferred choice.

- Some companies recruit from certain schools, go to linked1n and check list of schools they hire from. I could check via web browser.
I have attended an interview where all 15 interviewees were from only 3 schools - Penn state, G.I tech and Tx AnM.

- Where I currently work, the G.M said in 1983 he wanted to transfer to TxAnM but his dad didn't allow it. The only question he asked was 'how did you make a 4.00'.
The rest interview na American football and cinema movies we begin discuss.

About 24 working hours later, I received an offer.


In summary, attend school wey you deh hear the name as you deh naija so. grin

* Try to make very good grades.

- It shows seriousness and dedication on your part. A masters + high grades? We need to hire this one!

- Competition is fierce. If two candidates are almost equal, hiring managers will find how to differentiate between them. A gpa can be used.

- An interview I attended in July, 5 man panel...
1 of the seniorrr engineers kept making reference to the Gpa over the course of an hour. smiley Each time he mentions it, I blow my trumpet! cheesy
Got an offer in 24 working hours.

- American babes will see your bright future, they will love you! kiss kiss kiss
My wife, her mama, papa, aunties, grandma and the entire family all deh reason - 'this guy is so smart, he will definitely end up at NAsA'. grin

- You'll feel indestructible. If you can blast in your Masters, what else is impossible?? Nothing!
You go use that same high Gpa that begets high morale do deh do heavy and high things. cheesy You'll march into any company like say na your papa get am. grin
Add $300 suit join sha - Most interviews wey I go, I go dia go oppress them! Jobless marafacka but I dress pass the company GM. cheesy cool grin




Before I forget - internship and job seekers, go on Youtub3 and watch All the videos of 'ch33ky scient1st'. You'll understand very well how to package yourself for job hunting.

I'm out! Breakz ova! cool

* With my school email as a student,

I was able to get a Free official AutoCAD, I think a student version with 3 years license.

Free official Tabluea for Visualization and Business intelligence with a 1 year license.

Official Minitab for data analysis with a 30 days trial, I used it and have been able to include that skill in my resume.


Official JMP for data analysis that cost about $1500 for a year license was sold to me for about $50. Does the exact same thing, might just have a few extended capabilities absent.

Sql for database management AND Python softwares Free, paid $15 each to learn from one of the best teachers on the web - C0deWithM0sh. The training was in VIDEO form.

R for statistical analysis is also free, just find online resources to learn with. Fr33codecamp should suffice.

I even did Advanced Excel too. Since I didn't have an ERP software, I used excel for some industrial/manufacturing/Supply chain sturvs.




Then...
I learned (American spelling for Learnt, gbagaun detectors take note grin) GD&T, ppk, cpk, spc, lean six sigma, continuous improvement and a host of others in Theory - All, I add am for resume.
Find the buzz words in your field, Learn the skills and add them. As simple as that.


After all that, my resume come fat like yok0zuna grin

I ensured I learned all beyond basic. If some recruiters hold you for work, you go regret why you write some kind things for your resume. grin grin grin

I packaged myself in a way to be able to function as a Process, Quality, Manufacturing or Industrial engineer.
The hustle is real... cheesy

Nice!

I will borrow a cue from this

If immigration means 'visa lottery', then no.

Other classes of visas are still available to Nigerians.
