mogzy: Hi people, been quite a while I left a comment here. I'm gonna be six month away from the US by first week in July and right now planning to go back again for a week or 2 but air fare is up there. I'm thinking if anybody has an info on how I could get a very cheap fare to Dallas/Houston.
The reason why I have still not concluded on the plan to move permanently is the anxiety about getting something paying like what I am doing right now. your advise is quite important please.

dont try it bro,you may be denied entry into US if you tried that twice witout any gud reason for doing so.Read Adesoji link for more info

abesin01: Please house,I need the the web link fordriving license test.tks

just select the state you are and you are gud to go.Make sre you master it at least twice a day until u are able to score atleast 24/30.

jamicanlady: 1. On d issue of passport, pls I doubt if a visa will be stamped on dat soon to expire passport cos like u noted the major condition is dat "Passport(s) should be valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the U.S. So it means it must be valid for up to six months beyond 1st wk of Nov, which is ur intended date of entry into d US. You may ve d present passport cancelled by Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS). It will be stamped "CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" and a new one will be issued.

2. No need to inform the embassy, but if at the interview the CO raises the issue, pls be honest n tell him/her of d new address. However,you must inform the immigration officials at your POE about the new address so as to avoid ur Green Card (GC) being sent to d old address.

3. DV visa applicants from Nigeria do not need AOS, so it depends on ur country.

NOTE: Pls bear in mind dat ur Medical Report is valid for six months from d date of issuance just like d visa. It is mandatory u ve a valid medical report with u at ur POE or else u will be asked to do another one over there in d US, which is very expensive.

Hope this helps, goodluck!

the best is to do another one that would expire many years to come,getting new passport in US takes long esp if you are outside newyork.Talking from experience someone told me

Imcool: ok, thanks... How soon can we visit the SSN office for registration? I was there around 2pm yesterday but discovered they close by 12pm on wednesdays. Once again thanks.

you need to visit their website and locate the one close to your area,from there you can determine the time they open and close.Mind you some have closed finally due to recession.So try to call the fone number of the one close to you to see if they are still in service.I think your host should help you sort this out,they have better ideas.My host took me to 4 diff ones in arlington,grand prairie and southlake then and only one was closed finally.You can use google map or bing map to locate teh one closest to you.

femsoj: I signed my 8years contract with the US army yesterday(4 yeas as an active member and the remaining 4 years as a reserve member) . To those having it in mind of joining the US army, there are so many advantages in it. Most people's fear is that they might be deploy to the battle field,but one thing about the US army is that you already know the job you will be trained for before signing your contract. Those people given infantry (combat job) are the only one that will be trained in fighting at the war front. You have the right to pick the job you want to do in the army, so far you meet the cut off mark for that job in their entrant exam (ASVAB test) . BENEFITS : You will become a US citizen within 3 - 6 month of joining the army (I.e, within the period you are in the basic and advance training) . Up to 53,200dollars has tuition fee, if you wish to go back to school. There is something they also called GI bill. This is the money they will be giving to you after leaving the military to further your education has well and the benefit can also be transfer to your spouse or children(for you to qualify for this benefit, they will be deducting 100dollars on your salary every month while you are still in active duty) . Other benefits: there is no need of thinking about paying for house rent, they are the one responsible for your accommodation and feeding. I'll be going for my basic training for 9weeks in may at South Carolina and for my advance training for another 7weeks at Virgina. For more information on how to join the US army and the benefits in it, you can visit :www.goarmy.com

9ice offer but for me ooooo i still fear military jobs and i cant do anything medical related thats why i no show interest in CNA.I wish you the very best bro.

sozen2010: Hello House, can anybody please suggest a site with cheapest airticket booking for me? Thanking you all in anticipation.

Imcool: I'm in Texas and Houston to be precise. Adesoji pls help me out on this. My host says without d social security number, she won't be able to register for free medical care. I want to know how true this is and if it's true, how soon do we expect our SSN? Are we getting it in thru post or we need to go to their office to register? If we have to visit d office, how soon are we to? Thanks

you need to go to SSN office to register for SSN and it will mailed to you in less 10days.Without SSN,you maynt get free medical for your wife.

Imcool: Hi pals... Is there any member of this forum who put to bed or whose wife put to bed as a new immigrant? I'm less dan a week in Houston Texas and my wife is an expectant mother... Need all d info dat i can get to ensure a safe and subsidize delivery. Ur comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

yes! but i wont mention the person name,maybe adesoji can elaborate more.It would cost nothing once you immediately register her for free medical care from govt.firstly,what state are you?

honeydee: I had my interview in Accra Ghana this morning. Thanks to God and everyone who prayed for me. My interview was successful. My interview was somehow like a nigerian movie because it has part 1 and 2.

Part 1 was in february.The only question i was asked was what job i was doing. After that, the Female CO said i needed to get a new police report from Nigeria with my full name on it.Im half Nigerian and half Ghanaian and i stayed in nigeria up to the age of 17 so i needed a police report from there.My name on the police report i got from nigeria was shortened so she requested i do another one with my full name and also provide some id cards i used while i lived in Nigeria.

Part 2 was this morning and to God be the glory, the male CO this time did not ask me any question. he just said i should give him the new police report and show him the id cards. He asked for my passport and asked me to come back in three days for my visa.

Im grateful to everyone here. Even those ave never really interacted with because i learnt a lot from your comments. God richly bless you all.

jidedon,roodboy, nero xp,chykeworld, odunmanuel, thanks a million.

To those yet to go for their interview i pray that you have it easier than i did and i cant wait to ready you success stories to. I wish i could meet the wonderful people behind the ids on nairaland someday.

congrats

[quote author=ifeanyi.abdul]My e-family, I hail o! Yesterday, I chatted with an old friend of mine back in the days at the University of Ilorin. I have beautiful memories of us playing basket-ball together and worshiping together. He moved into Texas via the dv lottery in November last year and was very willing to offer assistance and guidance to me. He got a good job 3 weeks after he arrived U.S. Lucky, you may say! He last worked with Airtel in Jos and has telecom work experience. He asked if I had some telecom experience, but I said no; he said his employer even asked him to bring anyone or introduce anyone he knows with telecom experience. This is an open invitation to members of the house, as a potential opportunity waits for interested members with experience in the telecoms.
If you think you can give it a try, please contact me!![/quote]I have oooooo,4years experience in Telecoms as an RF engineer(Drive Test and optimisation)but the problem i have now is i dont want to leave dallas or be traveling up and down as i used to do in naija then.No one to take care of my family here(Us isnt like naija)but if the job is around dallas,am willing to take it..please hola me private mail

[quote author=adesojiaderemi@]... house I want to sincerely apologize for the stunt we had few days ago,and also want to call on all my friends to let us settle issues and move on,no one should quit for any reason we only need to embrace peace.Temmytanny,Brightmon Spoonder,Gentiger and myself are brothers and sister,no one is above mistake, we should compliment one another in love.

We are closer here than most of us do with our relatives, most of the time we spent here are precious and issue we discus here are classified issues we will never discus with most of our close relatives; so, we are one big family.

Well, to me I believe in people fighting for good course like we do here, than chasing irrelevant issues that is contributing nothing to the society,this is one of the best forum on the planet earth where people find real solution to their real problem.Thank you my dearest friends.[/quote]sincerely Adesoji,i dont think there is fight anywhere.If someone makes mistake let him admit and apologise,if anyone misinform the house let him correct himself and admit.We should stop dropping half baked stories here,it affect the possibility of some people getting their visa.Lets get our facts right before posting and if you arent sure,let people know.READ MY RECENT POSTS VERY WELL,AM NOT FIGHTING ANY ONE BUT TRYING COUNTER FALSE CLAIMS

femsoj: Objection my Lord. My advice for the couple is that they should come over and deliver the child here in US. Putting the cost implication aside, my own concern is about the child becoming full citizen if he or she is born here (not diluted citizen like us) . He can vote in the future and also be voted for. Nobody can tell if that is the future Obama.( I was only passing by and i say make I also contribute to the program)

If you born in US,your child don become Obama be dat.Citizenship all the way
