Hi everyone,

I'm currently living in the UK on my 2 years Graduate visa and I'm planning to apply for a USA visit visa. However, I have no intention of returning to the UK once my visit is over. Can anyone provide advice on the best way to approach this situation? What are the potential risks and legal implications I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s important to approach this situation with a clear understanding of immigration laws and the potential risks involved. Here’s an overview:

1. Applying for the USA Visit Visa
Intent: When applying for a USA visitor visa (B-2), you must demonstrate that you intend to return to your country of residence after your visit.
Supporting Documents: You'll need strong evidence to show ties to the UK or your home country. This includes:
Proof of employment or studies in the UK.
Financial stability (bank statements, pay slips).
Evidence of accommodation arrangements in the UK or home country.

2. Potential Risks of Overstaying or Changing Intent
Overstay Consequences:
Overstaying your visa could lead to being barred from re-entering the USA for years.
It might also affect future visa applications for other countries, including the UK and Schengen states.
Changing Intent While in the USA:
Entering on a visitor visa with premeditated plans to stay longer or adjust status (e.g., through asylum or other means) can be considered visa fraud.
U.S. authorities may revoke your visa or deport you if they suspect you misrepresented your intentions.

3. Legal Implications
UK Graduate Visa:
Not returning to the UK could have consequences for any future visa applications to the UK. Your current visa status might also influence how US immigration views your ties to the UK.
US Immigration:
Misrepresentation during your visa application or at the port of entry could lead to a permanent ban from entering the USA.

4. Best Approach
Plan Honestly:
If you wish to stay longer in the USA, explore legitimate routes (e.g., applying for a work visa, study visa, or family sponsorship if eligible).
Seek Professional Advice:
Consult an immigration attorney in both the UK and the USA to understand your options and the legal pathways available.
Build Strong Ties:
Having clear evidence of ties to your country of residence can strengthen your visa application.

5. Alternative Considerations
If you intend to migrate to the USA, research pathways like employment sponsorship, the Diversity Visa Lottery (if eligible), or family-based immigration.
This might align better with your long-term goals than entering as a visitor.

Thanks to everyone that welcomed me back. Note that I've been in the country a few times within the last 15 years, just that this will be my first time during Christmas.

Na wa o. Having gone through the thread, I could notice some common denominators that contributed to the situation.

I'm really empathetic towards the average Nigerians that are going through these difficult times.

Like Ouchbabe said, it's well.

You've said it all. Welcome back, Chief!

This will be my first Christmas in Nigeria in 15 years but sincerely it does not feel like Christmas at all.
Besides the cold harmattan weather in the morning that normally characterizes this time of the year, nothing else smells festivities.
I remember with nostalgia what Christmas used to feel like. Seems a whole lot has changed.

Apart from the economic situations, what else could have caused this?

The shift in Christmas spirit could be due to urbanization, declining traditions, security concerns, and the influence of technology and globalization, which have changed how people celebrate.

Additionally, personal nostalgia and evolving cultural practices may make current festivities feel less vibrant compared to the past.

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. 😟

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. 😟

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. 😟

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? 😟

If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?😟

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?😟

Then one may be that, and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. 😟

We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. 😟

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim! 😟

Medical practitioners in the house, please what's the timeline for a baby to walk?
My niece will be one year old next month and she's not crawling yet, not to talk of walking.

My bro is kinda getting worried, we told him it's not nothing serious, some babies do take long before they start walking.

PS: He's a first-time parent

It's completely normal for first-time parents to feel concerned about their child's development, but it's also important to remember that every baby develops at their own pace. Here's a general timeline for crawling and walking milestones:

Crawling: Most babies start crawling between 6 to 10 months, but some skip crawling altogether and move straight to pulling up, cruising, or walking.

Walking: Typically, babies begin walking independently between 9 to 18 months.
If your niece isn’t crawling yet but is otherwise healthy, alert, and meeting other developmental milestones (like sitting, rolling, or babbling), there might not be a cause for concern. However, if she’s not showing signs of trying to move (like rolling or scooting) or isn’t attempting to bear weight on her legs when supported, it could be helpful to speak to a pediatrician.

Encourage your brother to discuss his concerns with the baby's doctor during her next check-up. Early intervention is always better if there's any underlying delay. But most likely, his little one is just taking her time to develop in her unique way!

When we were kids, we did plenty of crazy things, and honestly, na only God dey save us that time. I remember one time, one neighbor dey gist us about him cousin wey wan do "big boy" by sliding down staircase railing. E no even reach halfway before him leg miss, and gbam, him break him hand. Till today, the guy dey talk say the bone no heal well, and him no fit straighten the hand proper.

As for me, I get my own story wey I no go ever forget. That day, we dey play hide and seek for my compound. I dey reason where I go hide wey nobody go find me. Na so my eye see the water tank for our backyard. I climb am sharp-sharp, thinking say I don win the game. As I dey look around from the tank, I con see one mango tree wey dey near. My mind just tell me say, "Guy, jump go that tree, hold the branch, you go look like superhero."

Without thinking twice, I balance myself, gather small momentum, and jump. My guy, I no even reach the branch at all! I just dey fly for air like paper, and na so I land for ground with one loud gbosa. For like two minutes, I no fit breathe. My friends wey dey play with me rush come, dey shake me, dey shout my name, "You dey okay?!"

After small time, I stand up. My body dey pain me well, scratches full my leg and hand, but thank God say I no break anything. Till today, I dey ask myself, "Wetin for happen if I land for my head or jam something sharp for ground?"

The truth be say, the kind nonsense things we do as kids, na grace keep us alive. If person think am now, you go just thank God say nothing bad happen.

L1TTLE:
Without saying too much, I loved my mum dearly and I was providing for her and fending for her until she died recently, when she died I was the only one with her and no one cared, her husband is alive and he had beef with her, and I took her side while my other siblings took his side, when she died it felt like I lost the battle because they iced me out, said I bet on the wrong side and let me carry my cross alone, now she's gone I'm alone in this world and none of them talks to me, I feed myself, clothe myself and do every other things myself, difference is we still live together in a family house, he doesn't own the house though, I could be sick and indoors for a whole week and even die and no one would check on me, sometimes when I had nothing like I'm broke I'm left to get myself out of it alone, at some point I almost died before I could get myself to the hospital, point is I'm in my family house but basically alone in this world, now I'm planing to leave and never be seen again cuz there's no difference I'm basically on my own anyway, and yes I have considered reconciliation but this man is evil reincarnated, someone who stood in front of my door and cursed me for hours because of 400# that's how terrible he is and when my mum died he almost had a party to rub my nose in it, if I start talking about him it won't end, so reconciliation isn't an option, I'd like to cut him off as he's diabolic and the way he constantly talks about me and the anger and jealousy in him boils he's doing everything so I don't succeed, he keeps telling me life will always be hard for me, and I'll never progress in life, I feel I need to leave the hostile environment so I can succeed in life as nothing grows in the midst of such hate and diabolical actions, secondly I don't want to die suddenly like my mum who was okay in the morning and died in the evening from simple headache.

I'm really sorry you're going through all of this. From what you've shared, it's clear that your environment is deeply harmful, and wanting to leave makes complete sense. Protecting your peace and well-being should come first, especially when you're surrounded by hostility and negativity.

If you're planning to move, it’s important to approach it carefully. Try to save up as much as you can before leaving so you have something to fall back on. Think about where you’d like to go and choose a place where you see the most opportunities for growth. Finding a stable place to stay, even if it’s shared housing, will help you settle in smoothly.

Once you’ve left, focus on your goals. Building a new life is hard, but if you channel all your energy into your training and personal development, it’ll pay off in time. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care for you, even if they’re not blood relatives. Friends, mentors, and colleagues can become the supportive family you need right now.

As for your father and the toxic environment at home, it’s understandable that you want to cut ties. His negativity doesn’t define you or determine your future. Leaving could give you the mental space to focus on healing and proving to yourself that you can succeed. At the same time, it’s important to acknowledge the grief you’re feeling after losing your mum and being isolated by your family. Finding peace through faith, reflection, or even talking to someone you trust can help lighten that burden over time.

If you feel your father’s actions are spiritually or emotionally dangerous, take measures to protect yourself based on your beliefs. Stay grounded in what brings you strength and peace. By stepping away, you’re giving yourself the chance to grow in an environment that isn’t suffocating you. Every small step forward is progress, and over time, you’ll see how far you’ve come.

You deserve a life filled with peace, purpose, and success. Leaving might be the first step toward creating that for yourself.

iamsamdeyking:
I’ve been trying to apply to a school in the UK and they told me to submit a proof of Eng. I emailed them that my first-degree was thought in English, but I was required to submit a proof that line with the UK ECCT.

Do my agent said Nigeria is known as an English speaking country by the UK government provided one submit a proof of first-degree thoughts in English please I’m confused.

Should I proceed submitting my application or I should get the document by the UK government that is meant for non-majority English speaking country thank you you

To clarify, here’s the situation based on your description:

Nigeria and English Proficiency: Nigeria is considered an English-speaking country by the UK government for visa and academic purposes. If you completed your degree in English from a recognized Nigerian institution like Obafemi Awolowo University, this often suffices as proof of English proficiency.

UK ENIC (formerly UK NARIC): Some institutions or organizations may require proof that your degree meets UK standards for English proficiency. This is where the UK ENIC Statement of Comparability or English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS) comes in.

This document verifies that your degree was taught in English and aligns with UK educational standards.

Steps to Take:

Contact the University: Confirm with the UK institution whether submitting a letter from Obafemi Awolowo University (stating your degree was taught in English) would meet their requirements.
Consider UK ENIC if Necessary: If the UK institution insists on an official UK ENIC certificate, you will need to apply for it. You can do this online, but it involves some fees and processing time.

Next Steps:
If the school accepts a letter from your university, request a formal letter or certificate from Obafemi Awolowo University confirming that your degree was taught in English.

If the school insists on UK ENIC certification, proceed to obtain the document.

Should You Proceed?:
Yes, proceed with your application but clarify the specific requirements with the institution. Having the document from UK ENIC ready may be useful if the institution insists.

Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu!

This gesture aligns with his vision of promoting sports excellence in Nigeria, motivating athletes across various disciplines, and fostering an environment where talent can thrive. The recognition of Lookman, Nnadozie, and the Super Falcons underscores the vital role of government support in elevating Nigerian sports to global prominence.

How do i report a fake bank website? I reported it earlier and the host brought it down,I am suprised the site is still active.Is the webhost also into fraud? This is the website gatestandardgroup.com

Reporting a fraudulent website like gatestandardgroup.com is crucial to combat online scams. Here's how you can proceed:

Contact Nigerian Authorities:

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC): The EFCC addresses financial crimes, including online fraud.

Notify the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN):
The CBN is aware of scams misusing its name and can assist in addressing fraudulent banking websites. If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of any correspondence purporting to be from the Central Bank of Nigeria, please do not hesitate to see their Legal Disclaimers.

Inform the Web Hosting Provider:
If the website was previously taken down but has resurfaced, it might be hosted by a different provider. Use online tools like WHOIS lookup to identify the current hosting provider and report the fraudulent site to them.

Report to Anti-Scam Organizations:
Scamwatch Nigeria: They offer a platform to report scams and provide resources on cybercrime.

Alert Financial Institutions:
If the fake website impersonates a specific bank, notify that bank directly. Many banks have dedicated channels for reporting fraud.

Regularly monitor the status of the reported website. If it reappears, report it again to the relevant authorities and hosting providers.

By following these steps, you contribute to the efforts against online fraud and help protect others from falling victim to such scams.
