You have to be paid salary for it to be considered work experience, I think

How do you get to Police Service Commission Alaggon from IKEJA or from LEKKI?
to collect Police Cert


Also who knows if it's possible to get the Police Certificate issued from Alaggon in their State Police Force Command rather that making that trip to Lagos during this Covid?

Grrr8:
Please o. Don't be offended but that's not the advice I was asking for. I have everything set up for the project. All I want now is to know if there is actually 24/7 light in Bonny Island.

I have the money. My cousin lives in Sweden and he is going to support me till I am able to start making money.

Please no more childish advice.

IS THERE LIGHT IN BONNY?

HOW MUCH IS RENT THERE AND IS IT SAFE?

please answer the above questions only. Thanks

Dear VO,

I recently got an admission to a school in the USA. I have been in Nigeria due to the Covid-19 situation. My school is to resume this fall which I have already selected the virtual class option. I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship (TA) role and was assigned a Supervising Professor (SP) with a monthly stipend starting from August. I got in contact with the Associate Dean concerning my work by August virtually which was okay by my SP as he was also planning to have his classes virtually this fall and we will be assisting him remotely too. My Dean got in contact with the Director of the International Student office and they got to me by email stating that I cannot resume work since I am not in the USA. They also stated that since I do not have my SSN yet, there is no way I can be on-boarded as a TA since I am a new student. That a new student can only get an SSN if they are in the USA. Also that I do not have what is required to get my I-9 process.
The contract I signed with school stated I resume work as a TA this fall. My stipends are going to be held until I resume work which my Dean is now proposing by Spring semester. I contacted a friend who informed me I can get my social security number while I am still in Nigeria. That once that is sorted I should contact the Dean again and inform him how passionate I am about resuming work this fall. Since my assigned class for the fall is going to be an online/remote instruction.
Please, is it possible I can get my SSN while I am still in Nigeria as a new student? I checked out their website but I saw a lot of confusing options. But my friend was certain I can get it if I contact them. How do I go about this?
Thank you VO

I doubt if it is about Nigeria and the fact that they are not handling the virus well. It is bigger than that. VFS resumed office resumed services for different countries already, UK has announced resumption too. In my opinion, US are only using the situation to delay Visa services. If not, what of the numerous countries that are 'handling the Virus well', NZ for example. A lot are doing well with respect to their curves and routine Visa services have not resumed yet. Truth is Nigeria will continue with this trend for a while, I dont even know if I should call it a trend
N.B the notice from the link posted previously are on other embassy pages too, including US embassy in UK. I guess they are tired of people sending them emails to ask questions and also flooding their social media pages with questions

Nigerian government decides.

Neeta02:
Thank you. I never knew they always request for DNA evidence during the interview stage.

slimmy2005:
Please, for those that had done their medicals prior to the shut down of activities by the embassies due to the COVID spread, would they have to do another medicals?

Good morning y'all, please do anybody has a concrete information if the US consulate is conducting one on one interview or any idea when they will start. Thanks

Neeta02:
Good day house. I dunno if I’m in the right thread. My sis who’s a US citizen filed petition for my dad last year, around the later part of the year. She got a mail some days back that they need concrete evidence to show that my dad is really her father, they said the birth certificate she submitted from census( dunno if that’s correct) was obtained when she was 28years, so they want a more concrete proof that she’s his daughter. Please what do you suggest we do? My dad is here in Nigeria, though he has visited US before.

Duuzsz:
Hello Neeta02, I guess they found something inappropriate about the details your sister submitted years back, probably a background check was done and the following might have been the cause:

1. The names on the documents she submitted as her father name does not match with name she’s trying to petition.

2. The date of birth might be the Issue as well, probably she reduce her age in the course of traveling or the father date of birth does not match, hence, a significant or insignificant age gap.

The list can go on and on, the main point is, they found something inappropriate with the documents she submitted which make them doubts her.

And the only solution is to opt for a DNA test ( the concrete proof they need). I know it’s expensive and time consuming but this is what your sister need to convince them. It will shut them up once it’s done.

The website above is a UK website.

A friend (white Canadian) went to the UK for masters and worked as a nanny. This is not uncommon. The point is to not change the nanny life to what we do to house helps in Nigeria.

Don't become another example of immigrants who bring people from their countries to become, in the eyes of charities and the govt, slaves.

Like I said before, what you're offering is a good opportunity, especially if they can stay after studies. However, if you overdo it, if they are on call throughout the day, the amount they're supposed to be paid will quickly skyrocket. That 15,000 will begin to look like child's play.

Naira235:
thanks. I will hide the whole thing from my parents. Last born are always over pampered and most doesn't have what it takes to work for their family.

Naira235:
Hi Everyone,
I have been paying high money for childcare here in UK and its giving me a second thought. My husband is a medical doctor and I work as a nurse for half days in a week, so we don't have to work all day and time to be financially okay as this is our first child and she is just 8 months old.

I can only afford to sponsor one person for MSc and the person has to be assisting me in childcare as a compensation.

I have a younger sister whom I am 6 years older than, she is a graduate but not currently working. She is a spoilt child been the last born and I am the first born. I found it very difficult to control her as an elder sister while in Nigeria. She is a graduate, and she is tired of Nigeria, she is also a burden on my parents as she has been living and feeding on them. Most times I send them money she spends 80% of it for herself and she is been treated as a pet been last child. I am afraid I won't be able to control her as my sister when she comes over.

I have another lady, she was the daughter of my boss where I was learning Tailoring in Nigeria. She and her mother were so respectful and caring. They are very poor and have no support anywhere so I am thinking of inviting her over for her MSc abroad and to also be taking care of my child for few days in return for her school fees.
Note : that is aside from their 20 hours work per week allowed on their student visa, so they can also work and have money.

The childcare is just few days in a week from 8am to 2pm. And I am hopeful it won't affect their studies.

Who is the right person to invite? Please I need your advice . Thanks all

kamtrix:
Helll guys, please I'll like to know if it is advisable and feasible to apply for renewal of passport using the https://immigration.gov.ng/standard-passport/ website of Nigerian immigration service. The amount there is about 17k and their service seems to have improved. Pls I need experiences from those who have used it, thanks to everyone in advance.

Duuzsz:
Well, some country do insist on getting the home country police report, however, you can get someone to help you get it in Nigeria.

techsavy1:
