20 of your friends were killed last month haba. Maybe you should stop being friends with inner city ghetto thugs.

SpitsOnYoruba:
If you plan on coming here, i have some tips that will save your life

Forget about the America they show you on the T.V
They're thousands of homeless people sleeping on the streets Los Angeles, New York and the big cities
There are places in the USA where people still live in the cave, doesn't wear clothes or shoes and no electricity or running water
There are places in New York that are 100 times worse than Ajegunle

USA is the country where you get killed for wearing a Nike or Jordans sneakers worth only $120

In the USA, you can't just walk into some streets or neighborhood you don't know like you do in Nigeria

Do you wanna know how dangerous USA is ?? Come to Compton or Chicago, you will live in Afghanistan for 7 years without being killed, you can't live in America for 2 days without being killed or your friend being killed


20 of my friends were killed last month for nothing, just sitting in their homes and they were gunned down

1. Don't argue with Americans, they're the most ignorant people on earth

2. Don't get in trouble with anyone, buying a gun is very easy, you walk into Walmart, give them $100 and they give you a gun

3. Americans glorify violence, if you go to jail or kill someone, to them you're a God, killing you will make them feel accomplished, so don't try to argue with anyone

4. Don't go to nightclubs

5. Don't go to the ghettos

6. Mind your goddam business

7. When stopped by the police, give them all your information, license, registration, proof of insurance, don't worry about going to jail if your your driving papers ain't up to date, you will spend only 1 hour in jail and you will be bailed with $65

8. American police are trigger happy, do whatever they tell you to do, don't argue, in fact lay on the floor immediately they ask you to

9. Americans talk too much like women, don't waste your precious time talking with them

10. The most dangerous country in the world is USA
I'm from Nigeria and have been living in the USA for 12 years but i go to Nigeria every 6 month.


Let me tell you, the very first day i came to America, i landed in New York city, i was so disappointed and wanted to go home immediately
Those fantasizing about the USA are those who haven't been to America

USA is the most dangerous country in the world
Chicago is just a city in the states of Illinois, they're the murder capital of the world, Detroit is the second, California is the third

I've seen about 200 murders in the USA but i haven't seen any murder when i was in Nigeria, how is Nigeria or Africa dangerous ??

The police will kill innocent people and at the end of the day, no charges, no jail sentence, there will still be in the police force

As for the citizens, A child doesn't know who his father is because his father is in jail and will never get out, the child will have kids before the age of 23 and before the age of 27, he commits a murder and gets a 70 years prison sentence, the cycle continues and never stops
Killing people is nothing to them



The number of murders that occur in Chicago and Los Angeles in a year is greater than the number of murders that happens in every country in this world put together

Always remember, USA belongs to the Indians, these people from the great Britain came into the USA in 1776 uninvited, killed all the Indians, raped their women, took their lands and named it "USA" and you think they give a fucck about your life ??

Would that be in place of a birth certificate?

awe2015:
Thank you bro...can I use my baptismal card which bears my DOB ?

Regarding the process, you can find this in the USCIS and many other websites online. It's straight forward if your relationship is genuine.

Go through and come back with specific questions.

awe2015:
Wait justswise! Before you shut this forum down, I was thinking that there could be some Nigerians who are currently studying or visiting the United States who wish to adjust their status to either a Permanent Residency or Citizenship. While there are some Nigerians who came into the US with an F1 visa, tourist or any other type of visas, but was able to Adjust their status to a Permanent Resident visa, through legal means (NOT SHAM MARRIAGES).

If there are such people on this forum, would you mind sharing the procesess and what documents that are involved? This will help not only me, but also some other fellows in my category (or visiting) who found a nice woman, got married and are planning on filing for an Adjustment of Status. We wish to employ the same spirit as we have going on in the General u.s.a Student visa thread. We employ your kind advice!

I assume you and your husband are not US citizens and had the kids there. If that is the case the only way you can relocate to the US through the kids is when they file for you at age18.

Other options may be via employment H1 visa or transferring to US office of current employer via L1 visa.

Momoftwo:
Pls I need info, my kids are American citizens , my husband and i are thinking of relocating to the US but don't know to go about it since they are still minors. Would like to know d options we have regarding visa application. Thanks

Are you really trying to justify the poor service NTA provides? The bbc has over years reinvented itself and made improvements to stay relevant. NVC i-player for example. Can we even compare the quality of the news reporting?

Please let's stop this habit of justifying our poor seveices with excuses such as don't others do this too. Even if they do maybe we should focus being best practice and showing others how it should be done rather than accepting mediocre poor service as the norm.

asuustrike2009:
Has BBC changed their theme song? The answer is no. Why should NTA change their soundtrack?. Do most of these international TV commit blunders, the answer is yes.

If he has lost his passport then he has lost his passport. Maybe he should get a police report to back it up but i don't see the need for copies. And tbh the visa officer is not going to ask for copies of his travel stamps or anything.

As long as he is honest in the forms he will be fine.

What are the countries he has travelled to?

oneted360:
Thanks boss
He can't find d photocopied docs.. I think he should reschedule till he finds it

They are waiting for MMA to sort out the light issue first lol

gbishman:
Pure lies, heathrow. PLs repair your leaking roof.
Its no big deal, age or any other uncontrollable factor could lead to that.
Quit the defense and do the needful.

There is no media propaganda, it happens everywhere but the difference is maintenance and how quick they fix it.

Or are you trying to say Heathrow and MMA are same maintained at same level?

In the UK roads go bad as well same as Nigeria, the difference is how quick it is fixed and the steps taken to maintain them.

babyfaceafrica:
Of course ,it happens everywhere..don't be fooled by media propaganda

What visa are you planning to relocate on? As someone already said if it is visit visa then it would illegal to try to work in the US and tbh the life will be difficult.

immigrant visa options include via marriage (but you are already married), or via work ie transferring to US office of your employer or getting a job with a US based firm who agree to sponsor you.

adezie:
Hi all. I and my husband are thinking of relocating to Texas, USA. we are fairly comfortable here but just looking for more opportunities. My question is what's the best way to go about it and how stressful is it to get a job and settle once we are there. how much should we have to make the move. would be so grateful if you can share your opinions. thank you.

gochenko:
please what will be your reaction

If there was mutual trust and respect between husband and wife then she asking for a will should not result in negative reaction.

in a sane country even if there is no will there is no chance of the rubbish that happens in Nigeria where families will kick out wives and kids after their brother or son dies.

If you already have someone filing a petition for you why are you looking for another person?

What's the relationship between you and the person who has filed for you?

kelval:
lol.. of course bro. i already did.. i got someone already filling a petition for me. i just want to know other means of getting to stay in the u.s. thanks

While I agree with your explanation that if the plan is for stay then look at other counties but if t is just to get your degree and leave then fine, I disagree with your statement around UK deceit.

They have made it very very clear they want to reduce non EU migration and have also made the stringent conditions for work visa very clear so I don't see where the deceit is.

Pedagogue:

Fair point.

But what the Op is saying is: Don't bother going to the UK if your intention is NOT to leave immediately after your programme.

You still don't get it? Let me explain.

Your masters programme gives you a Tier 4 visa status. That visa will expire a about four months after the completion of your masters programme i.e. after you must have submitted your dissertation.


After this, you have three main options-Leave, marry a British citizen, or Work (by applying for Tier 2 visa or another Tier 4 visa-another masters).

The first two are straightforward. The last is technical. To apply for a Tier 4 visa, it must be a job that attracts nothing less than £20,800 per year. Believe me, only 1 out of 10000000000 can be that lucky!

Talking about becoming a British Citizen or a permanent resident (indefinite leave to remain) is another kettle of fish.

I've taken my time to type the above because I don't want more Nigerians to fall for the UK deceit.However, If ALL you want is quality education (and nothing more), the U.K. should be your preferred choice.

He has retired from Olympics not sports, and even then he has many endorsements which will be his source of money for years to come eg he just signed a $30m a year life time deal with Nike. Too much bad press can result in sponsors leaving him.

Ask tiger woods one time highest sports earner the effects of sponsors leaving you.

Benz4pimp:
there is nothing to finish,he just retired from sport and he is having a good time

One way tickets actually tend to be more expensive than return tickets

worry359:
Advantage it may be cheaper.
Disadvantage you will probably be refused a visa.
If you get a visa you may well get wahalla from officials at Nigerian airport.

It's a ghost town, no one lives there.

OfficialAwol:
Only an idiot Lives in Idiotville? So all those who live there are idiots?

Thanks, my village is ok for me rather than be an idiot.

What's the difference between statements like that and what Donald trump says?

Do you know if the man asked them to kneel or why they are kneeling, no but yet you dislike all whites like mad even though your culture subjects the same women to kneeling down to pastors and politicians daily.

No it doesn't make you racist, it makes you ignorant to make such statements.

JVgal:
Call me a racist I don't care, I dislike whites like mad

You don't need an invitation letter unless you are going to visit on a B1 visa.

For work visas most of the work is done by the employer before you the employee get to the visa stage e.g. for H1 or L1 visa, the employer needs to file lots of documents for the first steps with USCIS after which if approved you can schedule interview at embassy so you are a long way away. And for e.g. the H1 visa, there is a 65k quota annually with over 250k applications received each year from companies all across the worked so its pretty much a lottery even if you qualify.

What type of business does she run and what type of job has she offered you? It sounds like a small one man business though I may be wrong, but if it is then your chance of getting a work visa is nil. And even for small one man businesses the cost and effort required to sponsor someone for a work visa is not justified unless there truly isn't anyone in the US who can do what you are being employed to do.

mrlycan:
I am yet to get a concrete answer. I quite understand you.
1. I need to ask her for an invitation letter and an offer of employement to work with her.
What next after this. I really appreciate your attention.

[Àquote author=ttmacoy post=48490943]Before asking for what she needs to send have you identified what visa you need to apply for?

The work visa options are L1, H1 or E1 visa and you can do some research to see which you qualify for.

L1 is the best option of you already work for the company abroad and are transferring to the US office but that depends on what turtle of business she does and what type of work/ contract you have with her.

These visas are quite tough to get and require a lot of paperwork hence companies tend to use lawyers to get everything ready. Also US work visas are applied for by the company for the person migrating to work it's not really a case of she just sends you documents and you show up at embassy.

That would only apply for a B1 visit visa not a work visa as the OP is asking about

Nairalanders. I have been working for this lady on Fiverr for a while now and she wants me to come and work with her in the US , what does she needs to send to me and what do I have to do here. Please urgent response.

Firstly I wouldn't advice studying for a masters in accounting as it is quite restrictive and adds little value, if your aim is to work as an accountant then either ICAN or ACCA would add more value. My advice would be to study for a masters in finance or a mix of accounting and finance instead as this opens up more doors for you.

Re CFA or ICAN, they are two different qualifications with different career paths so you need to figure out what you want to do first. CFA is a qualification for those looking to go into asset management, portfolio management etc while ICAN is for those pursuing the career path of chartered accountancy. Two distinct career paths so you need to decide based on your end point.

If your father is keen about you having an international certificate, a better comparison would be ICAN v ACCA or CIMA not CFA.

BarryJones:
Good morning Nairalanders,
I am a graduate of accounting. I completed my accountancy degree in 2014, finishing first class. I completed my NYSC last October. I have searched for jobs to no avail. I actually did test and interviews with some companies, but am yet to receive an offer letter from any of them. For one of the big banks especially, I got to their documentation stage and heard nothing from them again. I even learnt that my contact person was sacked when banks were sacking. Her official email is no longer receiving emails.

Now to my main question:
Due to the fact that I couldn't secure a job, my parents decided I go to study for a masters degree in Accounting in the UK, starting in September. I am currently in the final level of my ICAN examination, with 5 papers left, which I plan to take 2 in November and 3 in May 2017 (ICAN has an exam centre in London). The University I will be going to offers an optional CFA level 1 route along side M.Sc. Accounting. But on a personal note, I find this very expensive to fund with the current Naira to Pound exchange rate (I don't want to overburden my parents- they have other dependants), and since I will be depending on my parents for my every needs. I will need to pay about 1500 pounds for the CFA 1 lectures to the university aside the CFA registration and exam fees. I will spend about 1000 pounds (as against approximately 100k if i was to write in in Nigeria) on ICAN in UK as exam fee and travel expense, since I plan to do self study.

My daddy is now suggesting that I forget ICAN for now and concentrate on doing CFA, because he will want me to come back with internationally recognized certificates to increase my job prospects on my return. But my own thought is that by the time I will be returning from UK, I will both be ICAN Chartered and hold a UK Masters degree. I tried to explain to him that from my little knowledge of CFA, it is a rather limited certification (I believe its mainly for Investment bankers, though I will still apply to Investment Banks when I return) unlike ICAN which gives broader prospects. I am of the opinion that assuming I return to Nigeria in October 2017, I can quickly register as an ACCA student, to have the ACCA in view on my CV, then I will also register as a CFA student, to have the CFA in view, on my CV. I believe that this can increase my chances of also entering Investment Banking. Instead of paying 1500 pounds for CFA lectures to my university, I am thinking it will be cheaper for me to come back to Nigeria first and pay lecture fees here in Naira. I have a passion for setting up businesses, to be self employed and provide jobs for people later on, but I really love to practice Accounting in this my youthful age, and then save up to start my own business.

Please I will appreciate advice from knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Should I heed my dads call?

Really? Who travels to Indonesia for holidays? Shows how ignorant you are. Lots of people travel to Indonesia for business and tourism so saying government should close down embassies because some people can not stop carrying drugs is ridiculous.

Dreamwaker:
It will be harder for them to get visa from another country and if they went ahead and applied for visa in another country then that's their business.
Yes, other genuine travelers will be denied the opportunity to travel there, who travels to Indonesia for holidays anyway?

Maybe if we stopped trafficking drugs through their country there wouldn't be any need to execute.

Government should close down embassies because people are so selfish, greedy and wicked to keep carrying drugs.

Dreamwaker:
With the execution of four inmates in Indonesia, three of which were Nigerians, our brothers and one Indonesian, their brother. It goes to show they mean business. There are more people on death row and many others going on death row daily. It's ridiculous.

If people all over the world stop going to Indonesia, I think that will reduce the people on death row in that country and it should start from us.

We don't need an Indonesian embassy in Nigeria. They need us, Nigerian indomie is one of the highest selling noodles in the world, they need us. How can they be killing our citizens anyhow. If they can get a visa to Indonesia, they will not go there to carry drugs.

Federal government should please close down the Indonesian embassy and save us from more deaths. It's in the best interest of our citizens. They will not stop trying to carry drugs to that country unless they can't get visa to Indonesia any more.

Citigroup is American, StanbicIBTC is from a merger of Nigerians foremost investment bank IBTC and standard bank.

South Africa buys South Africa, so they cannot engage any Nigerian company to advise them on Nigeria stock market.
A closed circuit to manipulate share prices

This is really sad where our country cannot even fund our athletes to represent us at the Olympics but yet Buhari is able to fund trips to London for ear infection. Governors are able to fund trips to Germany for course or whatever it is they are going to do.

Any one who can support the lady's Olympic dream should please donate to her gofund account.

We continue to ignore our sportsmen but when those like Anthony Joshua make it in other countries we are quick to claim them as ours.

The £35k limit is after 5 years when you are applying for indefinite leave.

Tbh if after 5 years you are not earning up to £35k then you need to consider your career choices or return to Nigeria.

Really?

It's ok that whenever Buhari wants to address Nigerians he only speaks to foreign media, but when foreign media criticise him with the truth, they should sit in one place. Ok.

sixtuschimere:
BBC shld go and sit down one place

Russia may even have a hand in this due to strains in relationship since the downing of the Russian jet
