Oga streemic, what's good? How have you been?

Even my CEO, I said hi charles, how is it going? The last time he visited. Those eye service salutation doesn't freak them. Multi nationals, there is nothing like sir they adress you by your first name even if you're the CEO

I might be suggesting the hard truth that you need to face. I requested and did not get their response in good time and when it finally came, they declined my request. If you were not previously denied visa, JUST HOLD ON, It will definitely come through. Either way, just wait and pray. God is above all. KEEP CALM, AMERICA IS YOURS!

juniorsmith:
more than 4 days now,no reply

LMFAO, Funny but he is saying the truth brov. LOL again, Goodmrn ma sounds fishy to an American. "Hey" "How is it going" are their favorite and most preferred salutations.

stevecrun:
You don get visa..that's why its easier for you to say this..

You're asking a visa applicant to walk up to a visa officer first thing in the morning and say to him/her *Hey!how's it going*..Na wa oo

Greeting and respect,takes people far bro..a person's politeness and respect can get you where you never imagined to be.

Hope Michigan,is treating you fine,though!!

Nwanem, How is Canada? I fit relocate there soon?

Its impossible. Just call card service on your master card and tell them you wanna make withdrawals from your card in the USA. They will increase your daily limit

honeyad:
I won't support femoric lieing... But you need to understand that every applicant shares different story... Your uncle probably applied based on immigration visa and they usually conduct DNA test once they feel its necessary..This is a non immigrant visa.. They don't have time for that..

Hi Guys, aspiring to come for your graduate studies? read http://chronicle.com/ often to know issues trending in various academic fields in the states. It will help your knowledge on how the system works before you even start. Congratulating all those granted Visas and those preparing, I wish you all the best! Book want kill man pikin here!

What are the benefits and dis-benefits of Credit?

MsNas: SSN
When you have an SSN you can do a lot of things
1. Apply for credit cards
2. You can file for your tax returns
3. Some benefits require an SSN before you can get them .

State ID
Well for me, I use it as a form of ID a lot. I use it in lieu of a Drivers license and it is accepted everywhere. Whenever I fly, I tender my State ID and not my passport cos I can't afford to lose my passport because of constant carrying about. You can use your state ID almost everywhere that requires a form of government issued ID.

What are the requirements for PHd application and How can one successful ace a full waiver and every every for the PHd? Those doing their PHD should help biko.

lmao...Marriage even fast pass H-1b.Win a girl's heart and marry. Forget looking for an employer to file for u. dat might be a long thing

osahons9: See, I don't like it when people sugarcoat things. You get your residency after a while if you are working (H-1b). Then marriage is the end game.

Don't deceive people here. Their folks spend alot sending them there.

exxy: how much will a train cost from newyork to mississippi ?

Both are good and quite fair. Same class I guess.

Gevic: Please which is d best airliner to US among these: Qatar airline or Emirates airline

Another Sweet Point. We keep saying ill. If we are good enough to insult the country that most of our parents have stolen and still stealing from then we should be bold enough to face our parents and tell em to stop the corruption. It can start from there!

godG: My brother, it is sad. Yes, we shouldn't be blind to the woes plaguing pur nation. Personally, on our societal happenings, I have written countless sociopolitical pieces that got published in the dailies.

My point is that whenever we cry, we see. We should not let our sadness override that feeling of joy and hope even in sadness. The unfortunate thing is that Nigerian youths are not helping matter.

Perfect!

godG: Mr. ferdimako, I quite understand your views. I have been following your posts for some time now, sir. You are indeed patriotic albeit, in some funny way. Sir, pardon me, you seem to be so full of hate about Nigeria. Indeed, it's normal for a sane being to feel the same way considering the many ills in our land. But, I have a question for you, sir: Since 1966, what have we achieved with our rants as Nigerians?

Nigerians are the funniest set of beings God created. If indeed you want change in the country, it is not by trying to make those who are seeking 'greener pastures' your targets. The way we see things are different. Left to me, folks who have interacted with me know that if I had my way, I wouldn't even think of traveling out of this country.

However, consider this: as a graduate student, won't it be insane for me to neglect an offer to be studying while being paid than to accept an offer of studying while still dependent on my parents? For some of us, 'yankee' is not the final destination, only a means to an end.

Please, let us direct our criticisms to the right quarters. Below are the handles of some men that are close to the seat of power. Tweet at them:

@abati1990

Sir, please, I did not write this to disrespect you.

bigfrancis21: Some schools do permit application to a maximum of two courses for the same application fee. My school allows that.

Ebola i guess. LMAO

bbdd: Guys.
A school is telling me to send immunization form as part of admission requirement not even after admission.

Is that allowed?
I know schools tell students to submit immunization requirements after admission prior to enrollment. I've never heard of them asking for immunization before admission.

What do you guys think.

Tar! Thats a big disrespect to ur country. Never join those insulting their root. u are too educated for such.

stevecrun: lol..not really bro..e no really choke me bro..not err body would want to go for masters after undergraduate,if we dey go for a second degree it really does not mean we fresh outta high school..Its just that its more easier like that getting outta dis shit hole called NIGERIA.

Hope youre preparing bro?

slimmy05: Tell me why its not MAGIC, have you ever experience such a system that makes you feel like youre already tasting heaven, like you tasted hell in Nigeria.

From the airport straight to your dorm, I bet you stared in amazement, wondering if Nigeria would ever get to half of civilization. Let's not form, its magical. .
