bigfrancis21: My brother take all the advice given here seriously. The US is not a bed of roses if you're an illegal immigrant. You can't WORK legally if you have a tourist visa. Don't be tempted to go to the US only to go there and suffer. Its not worth it at all.

I'm a full supporter of people following their dreams and if you do really want to go to the US and live there legally, now take these legal paths of advice:

1) After you get to the US, start applying to a community college to study a related program to IT/computer science. I say community college because its much cheaper and takes less time (2yrs) to complete. You can apply to a university if you have the money. Community colleges award associate bachelor degrees and universities full bachelor degrees. Before you leave for the US, be sure to leave with your transcripts, academic credentials, and enough money to sustain your living expenses and your academic expenses. If you get admission you then apply to the appropriate US agency to permit you to study. Once it pulls through then you can begin your study. After study, hunt for a job and have your employer file on your behalf a work visa (H1B), and after you start working you can begin your green card application process. This may take you some years, at least 5 years, to achieve. Its not going to be too easy just as it is not easy anywhere but if you PERSEVERE you'll make it. Through this means you're well on your way to live the american dream.

2) You may as well find love there, get married and set your papers straight.

3) If the DV lottery doesn't finally get scrapped, you can play the lottery this year, by october.

Bros thanks for taking the pains to read my story, I really need your advice on this; I have a girl that we have been in a relationship for a very long time (10 yrs) and we planned to get married one day, God willing. Now I want to travel to the US which I know I will stay there based on the options you highlighted above. I want to ask, will it still be possible for us to get married, how can I go about achieving that and how soon would that be, if possible? I thank you and everyone for your useful contributions.

Sir bigfrancis21, you seem to understand my dream and you are among the few intellects that have offered me the most intelligent and useful information on this subject matter. Kudos to you and I doff my cap for your for this most intelligent contribution! God bless you as I look forward to more advise from you.

Somorin#1:
Actually there is.

OP, is asking NLers to help him calculate future ill gotten gains.

OP and his types are the reason why US Embassy is notoriously tough.

Silence is the best answer for your kind of person, I don't want to call you a fool ok?

Gbenge 77: Are you kidding me?What do you know about me,before making such an inane assumption?You dont even know the difference between the Validity of a visa,and duration of stay,so I would rather not altercate with you.I Shuttle between the Us and Nigeria,so we are miles apart.Goodluck with your "legitimate intentions" to work with a tourist visa.Infact,you gonna get a job with a six-figure pay

Bros you don vex, am indeed sorry I never meant it the way you think after all I don't know you neither do you know me, so why should I be have fracas with you? The world is a small place! Thanks

Yvete: @ Poster: Are you a guy or a lady?
If you're a lady, its going to be rough, but as a guy, you might be able to "find a way". Please come with some money in your pocket. Hope you have someone to stay with. Accomodation is a big deal here!

Thanks Yvete, am a guy and I don't know anybody to stay with. I have an HND computer science and I can raise some money. Am ready to put in my best until things get settled. Any assistance of your would be immensely appreciated thanks a lot!

Gbenge 77: Folks like you make it difficult for genuine US tourist visa applicants to secure American tourist visas.Did you tell the CO you intended to work with a visit visa?A US visit visa thread exists on this section,and you cannot claim to be oblivious of the fact that one cannot work with a visit visa.
@Mods,this thread is better off closed,as the Op is seeking advice on an illegal activity.

Why are you resentful? The fact that you have not gotten your visa does nt mean you can't get it. There is nothing illegal here, pls no beefing.

mikkyangel: mr, your HND will get you no where if u intend to use it in the US of A.my advice is you look for a college to attend to get a yanky qualification...best of luck

You make some senses jare, this is tha kind of peeps we want on this forum. Thanks

fados4sure: which HND? 9ja HND or Scottish HND? You need to answer that before I tell you

Bros its 9ja HND o!

La Parisienne: $500,000 per year. . .

Nawa for you chick! Do you think we are kidding here? If you don't have any useful contribution its better you shut it up ok?

lafflaff123: Okay poster there are jobs and again there are jobs, so it depends on what exactly you are looking for and the people you meet or visiting in the US and their links in getting you something, if really you don't plan on going back.

I will never advice anybody to be an illegal immigrant but since you have your mind made up, be ready to live or work like a slave until (1) you sort yourself out and in most cases it takes years (b) get deported back to Nigeria and can only see the US on TV for the rest of your life (C) Do jobs that you will be ashamed to tell your folks back home about.

Most Nigerian businesses in a mostly Nigerian dominated area usually employ people under the table, and pay them peanuts and when I say these guys will use you, I swear it is not funny.

Some years ago while still living in the Riverdale part of Maryland State, there is this popular Nigerian buka as a certified bachelor I use to stop over from work every evening to eat, and there was this very educated looking mature man always serving food, and the owner of the Buka a nice middle aged woman from the western extraction of Nigeria.

So one day while chilling after a heavy food, got talking to the man and was surprised he told me he is a trained pharmacist in Nigeria. Pharmacist I asked? he said yes. And that he has been in the US for 6 years on a visiting visa which ran out and tried as he did, still cannot get himself situated. Not seen his wife and kids for years and the shameful part is that he serves food in a place where the owner could be his daughter.

So I asked the most sensible question that came to my head, and that is why sir? why make a move that an uninformed or ill educated will make? he could not answer. So I asked him again what stops you from going back home? he said shame.

There was nothing I could do but linked him up with my then pastor who happens to be a lawyer before I moved from the State, and how it ended I still don't know.

The United States is not a good place to abuse your visa or be an illegal immigrant and I keep telling people this. You can go to Europe and get lost and nobody will care but in the US you need simple stuff like driving, opening accounts, accommodation and those little things of life that makes life easy.

I will not discourage you not to come to the United States, but come first, take a feasibility study of the situation on ground(real and unreal) and make your choice. But do know that you will face the harsh realities of life when you overstay your welcome with your host, and move into the cold hands of the reality of life called the United States without legal papers.

Sir I really appreciate you sense of concern. Pls I need ur advice and or ur assistance because I really want to settle in the US. How can I go about achieving this? I will appreciate any useful information. Thanks

Raymondfancy: Some say am handsome why some say am ugly,there are many occassion where girls said to me i appreciate ur finest is it true that am dat much handsome?what is ur views?

OP, don't be deceived u are nothing but a crack. Try to be natural ok!

cronsberg: Hey Op, these are agents trying to rush you to apply quickly so you don't change your mind. I will seriously advice you to choose anywhere else other than eastern europe. Personally i studied in malaysia and its VERY good there (Asia is cheaper than anywhere else). But if money is not a problem to you, then go for Australia, New Zealand, or Western Europe. Canada is good too.

What about US universities

Misunderstood_G: Yes i have, but I wanna go to Russia, I don't really know what dragging me there though... If you have information about Russia, please i really need it..thanks

Someone that knows about Russia was telling you that is not a place to school but you just insist to go there! I hope that's not an evil spirit dragging you!

IOMN: Also, what part of the USA are you looking to relocate to and what kind of job are you looking to secure? The city and state you settle in makes a difference

I like to stay in Illinois and work in any corporate org especially IT firm

Good evening everyone out there! I believe I would get a very reasonable advise to this my mind burgling issue. Am in a relationship with a girl I met while she was in Jss 2, although we started like friend and I used to advice her not follow bad friends that could lure her into immoral acts, but before I knew it she fell in love with me and that was how we started. I asked if she has ever slept with a man and she said no and she used to come to my house and I decided not to do anything with her and rather I encouraged her to keep herself. But last year, 2012 which marked the 10th year of our relationship I discovered she is not a virgin and she sworn with everything including her mothers grave that she has never slept with a man in her life since she grew up and she never knew how she lost her virginity. My concern is that my mind was there that she is a virgin and am getting married to a virgin girl but since I discovered that I made up my mind to leave her, though she loves me so much and she can go to any length to satisfy me but I was so disappointed

Please help me with your advise on this issue because is really affecting me and when I asked her to leave my life, she cried profusely claiming that she never dated a man in her life and she wants only me. Please what should I do? Thank you for your anticipated contribution!

i really appreciate this. do you know that the moment i tried it, it worked and the problem has now been solved. am very happy indeed and i say a big thank you. cheers!
