BigIyanga: Your BF can find out how it works by asking immigration lawyers or people who have done it. My limited knowledge is that when you’re given a visa as a fiancée/fiancé , you have to consummate that marriage within 90days.
Per your chances of getting a visa, if I knew that, I’d be working on Wall Street as a stock trader making millions 💰💰$$ No be only consummate na consume.  Lol They have to get married in 90 days of the other person's arrival in the US. There's a thread on nairaland for that. |

fkj950ax: To go to the US on holiday, you need a B1/B2 Visa. To get a B1/B2 Visa, you need to follow the steps below
Step 1 Fill DS-160 form https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx Step 2 Pay visa fees (GTB online or walk into branch or other banks***) Step 3 Create an account here, www.ustraveldocs.com and use DS160 Confirmation Number and Visa Fees number to fill out profile. Then also book appointment here.
You will only see option of checking dates after Step 1 and 2 are completed.
Please take your time to fill the DS160. Don’t rush. Use 3 days or more.
To increase your chances of approval, be thorough in your DS160 info. Demonstrate that you have compelling reasons to leave the US after your vacation. Your mom sponsoring you 100% is good, but creates a room for doubt because she wont give you her life savings if you decide to elope, but you will become a charge on tax payers - benefits, working under the radar etc etc while trying to adjust status and get papers etc etc. E go soon contact you...to epp Gente!

njambert: Good points. You forgot mentioning one of the top 3 reasons which is providing Religious instruction.
One of the reasons people don't go the homeschooling route is fear that they are incompetent to do it, whereas lots of teachers I know who became homeschoolers rather say the fact that they were teachers was rather a hurdle than an attribute to them in homeschooling. Yep..if you're already trained in formal school instruction. You have to be teachable enough to unlearn and relearn. |

Gajagojo: I have a big problem with this If this is your real identity
It is either you are telling us a scam story or you have no respect for your family because with this you are also revealing your brothers identity And somehow this can get back to your brother The solution is not begging for money because that money will finish but to sit down with your brother and talk. Or find a job The country is hard for everyone including your brother
This idea that your brother is doing you bad is very wrong
I am distrustful of this your yarn. If you want to ask for money do so direct no dey follow corner Exactly like what's all this for. When he's done collecting cash now...he won't give the same brother food despite the fact that he's living rent free. The earlier ppl realize others don't owe them anything the more grateful you'll be for what you get and pay it forward to both kin and strangers |

Mindlog: Dropping something for younger ones according to your capacity, is not entitlement mentality. If Nigerian police pick any of them up, no be the other one go run around abi is their parents with them in the city?
Reality is that time flies so fast, 5 years from now the stupidity of this moments will look so infantile.
What really touched me is this "Before I would come back, he would cook noodles and finish it, washed the pot and everything and keep them clean as though nothing happened. Sometimes he eat outside and come back home and ignore me".......your own blood, your younger sibling goes to bed hungry after trekking back from where he is learning a skill, while you have eaten.....Schizoid Personality Disorder no pass this one o. Wow ...so how come his parents don't get this guilt either or it's suddenly his brothers fault because he's living with him now. Maybe his parents should have asked the brother whether he could afford to house and feed him before they sent their own child to their other child to cater for. . The guy should use the cash he uses to browse on NL to eat not come here and whinge about his family |

Homeschooling isn't new, it's decades old and it's usually premised on your environment. Reasons typically are Schools are far or just not suitable for your children Parents are struggling handling the school runs for multiple kids One or both parents ah e non traditional jobs eg. a lot of travel, move around a lot, work remote or intermittently
People homeschool from preschool to high/sec school. Others get kids involved with sports clubs and other outdoor sports so they get to socialise with other kids.
Bare in mind that typically homeschool hours are less than regular school hours so it might not be more than 4 hours a day.
I remember a wife shared that she chose homeschool because her husband worked as part of the crew of basketball team so he travelled a lot. By homeschooling she was able to adjust kids school work so that each child alternatively got to travel with their father on his trips. It helped their family and kids bonded with their Dad better.
I also know those who homeschooled in Nigeria because local schools weren't what they wanted.
Schools are great places of learning But they can also be distractions and hot beds for bullying, vices and environmental factors out of your control |

Melanin07: Other emails
We will also request the issuance of your pre-employee / advanced-applicant number. If you need pre-financing (before you even started receiving monthly salaries), then this number is a very useful thing. We will explain:
The employer usually bears the transport and accommodation costs for up to 6 or 12 months. If you acquire a pre-employee/employee number you can apply and get a loan (up to 30,000 euros) with a low-interest rate, the usual interest rate in Europe is about 1.5%. There are organizations that would fund you if you have a pre-employee/employee number issued ( A1 Credits, SBDB Loans, etc.).
This way you will have the funds before you go abroad. You will repay the loan later - when you start receiving salaries.
NOTE: You will only receive a pre-employee / advanced-applicant number if you receive a Written Invitation. This will become clear very soon. So check your mail regularly for the next few days. If you receive a Written Invitation, please fill out the form and then contact your account manager. If you are rejected, you can apply again no earlier than a month and a half after the refusal. Put their full address in a search and see if that address even exists. Secondly any mention of EU is a sign they are not legitimate. UK left the EU over 7 yrs ago. They cannot be based in the UK and claim they are EU recruiting company for a UK job Lastly UK firm will not provide accommodation for you. In the rare case that any company provides accommodation it is because you work in the same company in your home country and they doing intracompany transfer to another country. Even with that it is for a short while and pay from your salary after |

* can I go to a private gynaecologist without NHS referral? * what is the average cost for a private gynaecologist? * if I do private health insurance, will they fund visits to private gynae? * the wait time for NHS gynae is quite long (around one and half year) am I better off going to Nigeria or another EU country? * if you have used a private gynae, please refer with any information that may be useful.
Thanks Do private insurance..check what the plan covers. Or go to Nigeria but you'd need to have sufficient leave days if there are tests or procedures that need to be done. |

This way you sponsoring yourself covers flight costs plus any other vacation expenses. Business account statements and business docs Your bank statements to prove your personal finances Then your sisters bank statement Look through your bank statements that you want to provide and note any influx or outflow you have to explain in cover letter. Pls keep cover letter simple and concise, you can explain in headings different things you want to highlight. Eg. Accommodation Sis will XXXXX Personal bank statements Xxxx |
