Beautyaddy:
...living in the US or returning back to Nigeria?

SmartKitty:
Sad. It's a very hard life being undocumented or illegal.

SmartKitty:
It's more easy to find somebody to marry from Nigeria than to find somebody to marry here being illegal. Many try, very few make it.

AfonjaBoston:
I also got a B1/B2 too same format.
I will be presenting. Make me sef go feel this America whey everybody dey talk

SmartKitty:
Yes. Because any legal resident or citizen knows he/she needs to file for your visa and to marry you. Only really serious person gets into it.

Living in America, you will see it's easy to date but not easy to convince to marry you. Men don't want to be financially responsible, women are very independent and don't want to marry either. Everybody wants to have fun. People who has a stability, look for the same in the partner. Even dating here, people does some research, if you are legal, it shows your background, criminal record, income, education, etc. If you are illegal, it doesn't show anything or maybe some mistakes in your history. Nobody wants to marry an unknown person or maybe a criminal. Financially the marriage in America is very risky, even credit score counts. So undocumented or illegal person, maybe could find a very old person or a drug user for being used. Good marriage is not easy to find because in American society you are not good yourself. We usually look in a 1st date if you have a car, a house and a job. Marrying a foreigner is risky, you have nothing and if there is a divorce, you get half of mine. Everybody knows undocumented or illegal foreigners use Americans. I am not saying nobody is marrying but it's hard to find somebody willing to do it. A little bit more easy is for a foreign woman (just because many American women don't want to marry and take care of a man) but a foreign man is not a good catch here.

Hello House,
I have a B1/B2 Visa used once for a holiday, 3 weeks and back in Nigeria.
Now I have a gig Stateside that I will be paid. It will be a 5 week-long project.
Isn't that violating the terms of the B1/B2?
Is it possible to come up at renewal time?

fkj950ax:
It's all just to rile the over informed people here.
You need to read through his posts.

highvibration:
But will they be illegal if they marry someone there?

All I know is that for everyone that goes and doesn't return, it makes it harder for the next person.

He/she seems to be all over the place claiming multiple status.

approved b1/b2. Lagos embassy. and i have to say, I couldn't have done it without this thread.

vo: where are you going to?
me: university name, town, state
vo; what are you going for?
me: i was invited to present a paper at 'university name' at 'conference name'
vo: whats that?
me; i explained the conference in more detail
vo; how long are you going for?
me: 6 days
vo: have you left nigeria before?
me: yes, been to a few countries in europe. spain, netherlands, italy. ive been across africa, morocco, mauritius, etc. I love to travel
vo: what do you do?
me; i work as a consultant on XYZ project
vo: how much do you earn
me; 850k a month
vo: are you married?
me: no
vo: any kids?
me: no
vo: tell me about your paper
me: i ramble for about 30 seconds. (he is nodding his head as if its enough abeg)
vo: i'm going to approve your visa.... (hands over pink slip)

observations/advice:
1. i wasn't asked for any documents. in my application as I was going for a conference, i selected only B1 ( i got that tip from here)
2. i prepared my questions and answers and rehearsed (nairaland tip). even yesterday i read the thread and saw a lady answered her question immediately with the name of the course, venue, state. so i updated my answers so my response will be concise (another tip from here)
3. i didnt hesitate with my answers (the benefit of rehearsing) . too many people were saying 'ehn?', meanwhile me far away could hear the questions
3. don't ramble. be confident. don't lie on your application. i've been refused over 10yrs ago and even though i didnt do biometrics, I mentioned it. (nairaland tip) LIES WILL MAKE YOU NERVOUS.
4. don't engage in chatchat with people. all that 'naija is bad/they arent giving visa's etc etc. it ruins your energy. be silent and focus on why you are there (my personal advice)
5. they were approving and refusing people. the vo i met refused a lady for student visa because the course date was in the past. he advised her to get a new i20 from the uni. he refused a mama who couldn't explain what she did there her last visit for 2mths. they aren't demons. they have their reasons for either refusals or approvals.

Good luck to all. I hope this helps.

Me I just tire for everybody today oh! That's a mad trolling Nigerian-American Jaguda they all dragging sh*t with na.... Afonja/Twood? Surprised though, that name suppose to dey "ring-a-bell" when dem hear am. I believe some didn't actually care to look at the name/moniker before responding, they just got riled up and needed to treat his assumed ef up sharply

OmoBendel24:
To be honest with you, I sometimes suspect you are one of his coded moniker ni oh based on his multi-dimensional operations and personality, not changing on that right now though. Also added smartkitty lately to the list sef (dat one dey sound like Naija person wey newly "arrive"/get promotion inside the US matter sha, all of una even get Texas in common too and anti-whatever also). I'm not moved by all the "quarrels" by these monikers here, walahi. I don tay reach for NL to get some NL street-sense!

Beautyaddy:
Yes and No.

In order not to sound exposing one of the weak loop-holes of the US Immigration laws an Undocumented Immigrant can marry an American and adjust his/her undocumented status to become legal if the American petitions for a green card for the person and is approved.

Now for the highlighted statement...unfortunately that might end up being the case.

Bolded is the Trump Migrant Restriction.
It is as difficult and almost impossible now AF

SmartKitty:
I speak and write 7 languages, I am not feeling like to impress anybody in this chat forum, I write the way I like.
Technical Writing is my forte (I translated and wrote so many books for the Air Force in different languages), not good in a simple chat. Yet Nigerians have a heavy accent and are not good in grammar but I am not complaining, it's OK.
