Generally the US health care system is not free like you have in the UK or Canada, but you have programs like Medicare for seniors and she can also use emergency services in hospitals. My opinion is just speculation on why she was denied at her age which before is unusual but Nigeria don cast now even elderly people dey japa.

You have to qualify for Medicare and it is not available for visitors. Emergency services are also taxpayer-funded so understandable why the VOs would not want anyone to come to burden the system.

Hello everyone,

Please I need your help, if I apply for financial aid from my university will it be a problem for getting my F1 Visa approved because the school will include the loan I have secured from the university in my I-20 and I don't know if that will be a problem for the consular to approve my visa. I already have a scholarship and the school offers loans for international students.

This will be a challenge. You will need to pay the loan back at some point, which suggests to the VO that you have no intention of leaving after your studies and clearly cannot afford your study.

Mattinno:
Please I would like to ask this question , for the gurus in the House , As an International Student In the UK with a Valid Visa , I would like to ask is it possible to apply to the United States for a Visit Visa , even without going to a Schengen country , Just to a tourist Visa to the United States and what are the chances of getting the visa

Your chances are good. Feel free to apply.

MyFlair:
No I applied to two; one MSc and one PhD. Got the PhD, the MSc is still under departmental review

You'll be fine. Excellent school and program + full funding should put you in good stead for your interview. Good luck and don't let anyone bully you again.

Zihno:
I previously checked out their mechanical engineering MS program and their Environmental Science PhD program and I don’t think their MS in Mechanical Engineering funds their students and the PhD requires one to find a supervisor. The fact that they require official transcript and gre score is even more annoying.

They should just give you free education without doing anything on your part? Absurd.

BigIyanga:
I no need to sabi u Mr Sabinus wey dey hoard basic info.. by your singular act, you have shown that you’re a selfish user. W[b]e’re encouraging young, motivated and driven Nigerians to apply and get admitted[/b]… but you’re worried about ur selfish self. Good luck in your lonely journey.

"Motivated and driven Nigerians" do not need to know your school and program. They already have their own plans and are here to exchange ideas. The majority of folks here are not interested in going to school, are not motivated, and have no idea what drive is. Hence why they get super angry if you don't share your school name. Let's be sincere, he has gotten far more abuse than fraudsters on this thread while legitimate questions and requests go unanswered. Why? Because too many hang out in the shadows, waiting for someone to drop their own success story so they can simply copy it verbatim. We see it here all the time, one person gets lucky at one program and all of a sudden, entire Nigeria is now applying to that program.

This thread worked better in the old days when everyone had their own plan and this was a way to compare notes and ask detailed questions. Today 10% are doing their work, 60% are hiding around waiting to copy and the remaining 30% are just wasting everyone else's time.

MatanBoka:
You mean you mentioned the school after people started calling you out

The wait time can be frustrating and sharing a school name could help alleviate someone’s frustration. And most times, people say “congratulations!” and just pray they get an offer - not to wish yours is rescinded.

...and that right there is why everyone is flailing him for not sharing the name of the school... not because they care about him at all.

MamaOO:
You’re gatekeeping school and you’re expecting people to come forward with information for you? No be juju be that? Nigerians! SMH. will mentioning the name of your school cause them to rescind your offer?
Go to the phd channel and see how people help themselves. Nigerians and crab in a bucket mentality na 5&6.

If you are an aspiring PhD and you have this mentality, omo, you need to work on a lot of things. Smdh.

Meaningless. Many of the people angrily demanding for school aren't doing so for altruistic purposes... merely for their own selfish interest... and that is the hilarious part of it. They don't want to do any work, just tell them about the school so they can apply too.

Zihno:
Why the secrecy? A lot of people share their school, their academic profiles etc on forums all the time. Maybe it’s a Nigerian thing because this isn’t the norm on Reddit.


You can’t book an appointment yet. You need the 1-20 and you should pay the sevis fee too. Electronic (Emailed) I20 are acceptable. There’s enough time for visa waka. August is still far.

There is a reason... most on Reddit are genuinely there to help you. Most here are intellectually lazy and looking to simply copy your exact scenario. If he mentions the school and program, rest assured that the program will be deluged with applications from Nigerians in no time, all asking for the same thing.

Louis8796:
Can we discuss or chat?

Discuss what sir?

NotKnown:
They have come with another one again o

These people live in climes where malaria is not endemic. They are essentially making a vaccine to protect you and your children. What have you ever come up with?

Following. I live in Texas as well.

In winter it's also a way to de-ice the plane.

NumeroUno7:
See sweet sweet structures na chai.. OP I took note of a place you said many places in Ontario looks like Downtown (which is likened to the Maitaima and Banana Island in Nigeria) unlike the US.
Please are you saying, take away the US hype, that Canada is better structured with more beautiful places than USA?

lol no way... the US is several times better. You'll find a Toronto in far more places in the US.

VeryWickedGoat:
This BS wey una don dey use console unasef for 50 years now. 😅🤣

Russia also has "classified state secret" weapons. Fact is, the ones we know, the US cannot match Russia's.

End of.

...and you know this from the safety of your house in Nigeria?

VeryWickedGoat:
1. You are not an American. You are a bloody Naija civilian.

2. You obviously missed the part where it is said that the missiles are unstoppable. Blow the frigate all you want but you will burn to ashes before your missile even locks on to its target. 😁

Zombie.

1. Yes I am American.

2. You obviously missed the part where you can hit a ship with missiles well before they can launch their own missiles. Also, just because Russia called it "unstoppable" doesn't mean much. Certain US weapons are classified state secrets...

WriterNig:
🇷🇺 Russia is the all consuming 🔥 fire and the U.S knows it. Only 1 Satan-II Nuke 💣 can turn the whole of Texas to radioactive dust and ash. They have dozens of them.

The only country in the world that can fire missiles near U.S & NATO war planes. They did it last year while ✈ flying near Alaska.

They fear no one.

Is that why they are whining about supplying Ukraine with war tanks?

VeryWickedGoat:

US sabi fear pass anything. This is not even up to a tenth of what they dish out to others.

The average American isn't concerned. This isn't even on our local news here... that's how insignificant this is. 100% chance we have nuclear-armed submarines just waiting to blow the frigate out of the water at a moment's notice.

Shokoloko:
There is something called filing for an adjustment of status.
They do not have to remain illegal for more than 5 years if she follows the footsteps of others who succeeded.

you cannot simply file adjustment of status just because you want to. You have to be on a valid visa to do that… ”marrying” for a visa looks like her only option

Makes no sense. She got a visitors visa and has condemned her kids to illegal immigrant status in the US?

Eaganguolly:
Don't know much about the US citizenship processes. I heard once Nurses pass the NCLEX exam, they will be issued green card with their family.

What law permits this? This isn’t Nigeria, there are explicit legal processes by which you obtain a green card, regardless of your degree or occupation.

Sonicroyel:
Guys please I need some assistance.
So I met this family over 3years ago and they've kinda taken me in as I barely have a family that cares here they catered for my tuition from 200lv till.i graduated from uniben now that I'm done they're considering getting me across but I just don't know what route to actually take.
Point to consider... They're willing to do everything and anything to get me across the wife is a retired social worker and the husband works as a gm in a restaurant.
They spoke about immigrating who j sounds so cumbersome from my little research.

They also mentioned going through the church but I don't know how feasible that is
Also there's the option of the job route
But I just came here first to solicit of advice and opinions on what steps i should take

Consider doing a masters in Canada or the US.

hadigun:
Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help

You had a valid UK residence permit, you were a shoo-in for a visiting visa. It's like a British passport holder getting to enter the US without a visa and saying grace was the reason.

Gerrard59:
I really wanted him to do so to let people, especially those who criticise the US know the value she has. The applications will drown Canada's EE by a hooge percentage. But the requirements will be tough. Dem fit ask for PhD at the age of 25 to stand a chance. Draws fit dey read 700+

It was never going to happen. Trump talked a lot but never made an attempt to coalesce support in the house and senate. No one took him seriously. If at all immigration laws change, we are likely to have something close to the "gang of 8" bill of 2013. That bill would have given any foreigner who obtains a Ph.D. in the US an automatic green card. Sadly it failed in the house at the last minute.

Gerrard59:
TWoods;

https://nurse.org/articles/work-in-us-as-foreign-educated-nurse/

The folks you quoted might be correct since the H1B visa is very competitive and also a lottery. In there, H1B is listed as an option, but very unrealistic. So, the majority get a green card immediately they enter for employment.

If you review step 7 in your link, it lists the process, exactly as I laid it out.

If you gain employment in the US to work as an RN, you have two general options:

a. Get a temporary visa and move to the US to work while your application for a green card (I-140/I-485) is being processed. If you're Canadian or Mexican, you can work with a TN. All other nurses will need to obtain an H1B.

b. Have your prospective employer file an I-140 application right away. While this is in progress, you cannot travel to or work in the US. Once this is approved, you then file for a green card through consular processing. This process can take 2 or more years. Why would an employer wait that long when they can bring you here faster on a temp visa (option a) while you're waiting for the green card process to run its course?

Yes the H1B lottery is highly competitive but is not impossible. Being an RN does not change the process... you are just like everyone else. No special exemptions.

dipset01:
my wife was recently denied visa to the uk, I am filling the ITA form and the question below is being asked.

"Has XXXXXXXXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Should I just answer truthly, God will punish this UK guys, they denied her for no reason.

You're thinking of lying on an entry visa, while asking "god" to punish men/women who are just doing their job?

“So this airplane is fully aerobatic, goes into aerobatics; and I think the Nigerian Air Force and the Air Forces around the sub-region will be interested and excited by this development, we are taking the lead in civil aviation.''

“It is our intention to manufacture them here, and sell them out to where we’re interested around the world.''

“So this will happen here in Nigeria and we will fly them within the remaining four months that we have as a government.''

To say Hadi Sirika is a functional illiterate is not an understatement. What does he mean by the "airplane is fully aerobatic, goes into aerobatics"? This project is for 18 months, this government will be gone by May 2023 (a mere 5 months)... so how does Sirika plan to finish the project and fly the planes "within the remaining 4 months that we have as a government"?

shegzhkn:
I figure, you seemed to be more drawn to the US than your native Nigeria.

I've been here almost as long as I lived in Nigeria.

BarristerAlarig:
Go to the nursing thread and ask. Have you ever seen a nurse on the H1B visa?

I did a simple google search. Here is what i found in less than 1 second - https://www.immi-usa.com/h1b-visa/h-1b-nurses/

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/2015-0218_EIR_Nursing_PM_Effective.pdf

The latter is a US government memo on how it adjudicates H1B visas for nursing occupations. Obviously the US government has seen nurses on H1B. This is what deters folks like me from posting here as often, running into garrulous malcontents who have nothing to offer beyond disgraceful abuse and objecting to everything you say, without offering anything intelligent.

mystery22:
what do you mean by you folks?what you don't know you keep shut or ask questions not accusing someone of lying. Are you a USRN

Other than abuse, what have we learned from you? Nothing.

Notice how none of you ever explicitly states the process, just yelling.

shegzhkn:
An American now ??

Yes.

mystery22:
We have nurses here that got their green card immediately they landed in America

Through what process please? This is not true. You folks should stop lying or provide evidence.
