lol your case is different? Yet your country is still one of the poorest in the world, your exchange rate is N500 to $1, you import toothpicks from China and you're busy fasting for a US visa. The problem isn't God or the bible, it is the gullibility of the average African who thinks life's problems are solved by how many religious slogans you can chant.

Yes your case is different... and your pastor is busy smiling all the way to the bank.

olanikemercy:
Have been following this thread for a while now . pls your advice is needed. Hubby and I with our little daughter wants to apply for visa though hubby applied last year in south africa stating he knew someone but this time around.he knew no one again cos the person has relocated. Pls hope it won't be an issue. Note, Daughe rand I have no travel history. Thanks

Was your husband denied when he applied last year? I doubt travel history has anything to do with your odds of getting the visa. Just be honest with the VO.

Please advice I was in the US for ten days the No aos,cos,eos annotation was put on my passport with a two weeks stay. it was my first time to the us the CBP officers delayed me for hours asked me tons and tons of questions which I answered to the best of my ability and some of the questions I fumbled though I was nervous anxious and intimidated by the CBP officers I tried my best to remain composed they made me sign a consent form for drugs testing which I signed willingly but the  test were not done and after calling my contact person in the us I was told I can go after changing the time I'm permitted to stay in the us from six months to two weeks with the annotation no aos,cos,eos, put my passport on my way back home I was questioned again (though other people too were questioned while we were boarding) as i was  told I could go the officer who put the annotation on my passport walked to my front and asked me where I went in the us which I answered and a few other questions when I answered he then smiled and said I could go that he will be expecting me back that he will be watching me when next I visit the us, to cut the long story short it was a horrible experience I left on the exact date my holiday ended I didn't over stay my question is if I decide to visit again will I have to go through the same horrifying  experience and what are the effects of the annotation on my next visit which is in a year or more than a year's time and lastly I have plans to visit Japan or the uk soon on an official trip from the office, will the annotation bar me from getting the visas to UK and japan?‎ 

Please advice accordingly all the gurus in the house thanks‎

Until i saw your post, i'd never even heard of the no AOS/COS/EOS stamp. I looked it up, from what i read, its a red flag that you're an immigration risk... but considering this was your first time to the US, i wonder why that was put in your passport.

Is it me or have the odds for getting US visas gotten much longer in the past few years?

I don't see a lot of biomedical Phd applicants here. These programs are plentiful, will also award masters degrees half way and are FREE!

Chiezzh:
So because I got denied once I shud leave it till nxt year....lol
#BAD BELLE IS ALLOWED ....God pass u

I'll be waiting...

Why do you think God is involved in a visa decision?

Chiezzh:
Hey man think b4 u say things that come out of your mouth ....I will not be denied ...I wil personally show u my transcript ...

i'll be waiting.

That took me all of 3 minutes to find. I'm not sure how some of you scale through visa interviews. Any serious VO knows that all US colleges post the course offerings on the web. So not being able to "find them" is basically a demonstration of your own lack of preparedness.

Ajibade105:
Hello,

Please, if you have any person bearing AYO, try and tell him/her to hide...Because AYO lama fi sodun!!! Ehn, I have read this thread well and I didn't see anyone apply to Havard, John Hopkins, MIT, Stanford and to mention a few. Where those people with high GRE scores now? make una apply there jawe and make una come gist us about the school jawe

Those people typically know what they need to do or where to get the necessary information. They are less likely to be here asking silly questions like "how can i search for schools?", "who can give me a template for a TA application?", what schools do not require SAT/TOEFL?".

Chiezzh:
Good morning house ....and gurus I'm the house I hail...I already started filling the ds 160....but left the work and school section blank waiting for your counselling. ..help me check what I uploaded .am I on the right track? Thanks

You will be denied again... it is pointless applying right away. Would be better if you waited another year then tried again. This time prepare as thoroughly as you can. A pattern of applications in quick succession and subsequent denials will simply show you as desperate.

glossy6:
Ask the parents. Abeg who get BM phone number?

Now wetin concern you? Wait until you have yours, You can then name them Mgbeke, Mgborie, Obumneke, Ibezim, Atuche etc

This is inferiority complex at its worst. What is wrong with those names? My name is a yoruba 10 letter word and i proudly use it here in the states and many of my colleagues have even learned to say it. Americans would NEVER call their children by your names.

Why is a Nigerian child called Jason? The worship of everything American by our celebrities is beyond sickening. What is the cultural or religious significance of the name?

Chiezzh:
I want to know why my visa was denied please who has the contact email ...help me .thank you

As a silent reader (more out of interest since i went through the exact same journey a few years ago - although it appears to have been easier then) who never posts here, bro your posts are just flat out funny!

You want the contact email to who? The embassy, DHS secretary or the president?

uruba23:
keep us updated,hmmm never knew there is rural New York,all I know is Manhattan..
Hmmm enjoy your ride..

Most of NY state is rural and/or small towns. Buffalo, Syracuse, Schenectady, Geneseo, Albany, Niagara falls, Greece, Rochester, Farmingdale etc. NYC is only a small part of the state.

wanderlustian:
But I am not understanding something...

We have just reached Buffalo New York... and we still have 11 hours to ride on the train.... hian!

lol most people don't realize how big New York state actually is. It takes about an hour to drive from Buffalo to Rochester and Rochester is at least 6 hours by road to NYC. Considering that trains are slower and will stop several times along the way, the 11 hour time makes sense.

hexy40:
Its better to be silent if you dont trust any of them, Calling them con men is not a good idea.
Messing with a man that has attened high level of spirituality is dangerous even if he is not behaving right.

You are the very example of why Nigeria is never going to grow. This mentality that everything "religious" must be of "god" and every attempt to be skeptical will automatically send you to hell is ludicrous.

Its a shame that Oyakhilome is a millionaire in a nation where >70% can barely afford to eat. That is not of God.

kokosari2:
Sister adviser, thanks for the advice but wait till you are married by then God will give you the power to follow through with your advice.

Wow! I really feel for your husband. Marriage is about putting your spouse first... not about your convenience. Too many people trap unsuspecting spouses into loveless and miserable marriages. For your husband to be openly masturbating in bed - he is passing across a message but your arrogance and insensitivity to him keeps you from seeing it.

fumisko:
Wait. I don't even get u. Don't you touch your husband's dick and rub it as pre intimacy before making love? So what's the big deal? when u see him do it, be loving, tell him babe i am here and u dint even call me to me help u with that, Haba...and give him a sweet handjob. before u know it has moved into the real humping knacking of sex. No wonder there are so many married men cheating...women be more open or prostitutes who are outside would take care of your man...so u can't give ur man a Mouth Gig?...the bible said his body has become yours and yours his...so anything is accepted ma, even if you want to eat his shit...relax be open..have sex with him on the floor, in the kitchen, make it fun...even if you are fat and ugly and you spontaneous, he won't see that unattractive part, give him a hand job in the car on your way from an occasion one evening...or in the morning when he is going to work give him a Mouth Action...if he has a personal office at work...pay him a visit...lock the door tell him u where finking of him all day at work and need a 5 min quickie.
Be spontaneous
It's a shame Dt u r there n he is masturbating him self...Wat is your use...if his libido is high is one blowwjob per day too much to give the Man U claim to love if that's what makes him happy? Haba. He shldnt evn masturbate at all cus masturbation should be equal to u giving him a hand job.
My question is how do u even have sex with him because if his touching his dick is irritating u, I wonder then if u ever touch it as preintimacy or u suffer d poor guy
Christainity doesn't stop this Abeg all u over religious women
Safe your home please abeg
Be prayertizing what is not a problem. There are better things on God's table like hungry people n people with cancer
Better safe ur home before he starts visiting ashewo. Thank God he never start
Ur spontaneous acts shld b porn enuf Dt he won't evn remember it

Your husband is one fortunate soul.

This thread was long on every reason why Nigerian marriages are boring. We over spiritualize everything. He's married to you so he is free to masturbate on his bed. Him doing it is an indication that you're not doing your marital duties. I feel sorry for the poor guy. That's why it's imperative to discuss sexual preferences BEFORE marriage.

The adjustment of status process is fairly easy for people who finish from a US university with advanced degrees and are able to secure jobs with companies wiling to file an H1B visa and start the green card process on their behalf.

nkechima:
Good evening house, I just realized that I can apply for FSW with my 3 years PT OND certificate. However, I have been denied student Visa twice maybe because I did not include my OND certificate when applying or because I am in my late 30's going for undergraduate course. Also, I have three years Ban with Australia.
I have tried to explain myself before asking any question in this forum. I have some worries.
Please, do one start counting work experience after or before completion of study

Your likelihood of getting a visa to countries like the UK, USA, Canada is already severely limited.

LOquence:
A friend is relocating to USA on a visiting visa. Is it possible for him to work and extend his visa and possibly become an LPR in USA?
What are the most likely hurdles to jump in his quest for freedom and better life?

You cannot "relocate" to the US on a visitors visa.

these are quite onerous rules.

ecaaychukwu:
Please can anyone suggest to me where I can register for GRE at a reasonable price?

www.google.com? If that doesn't work then try www.bing.com.

One of the few things i regret not being able to do in Nigeria is the opportunity to travel for sightseeing. I find it odd that i know more about foreign countries than mine... but as always, you make do with what you can.

I caught the travel bug a few years ago and now make it a point to do at least 2-3 road trips every year. Fortunately, i also have a job that allows me the opportunity to make 1 or more free foreign trips a year... which helps. The goal is to use this as a photoblog of all my adventures.

kellykings84:
Dis information is wrong. with as much a a won't encourage anybody taking d route of B2 to green card but just for d record; u can adjust ur status even [b]if u overstayed ur visa [/b]as long as u an immediate family and a visa is immediately available to u like being a husband or wife of a Us citizen.

Fraud, misrepresentation and breaking the law is just as wrong, that loophole, if it exists, will soon be closed for good.

falopey:
Guy, no disrespect. You don't seem to know what you are saying o. While Google can help you in this matter, so many visitors have gone their way through marriage to becoming citizens in this same US. As a b1 holder, you are ineligible to adjust status. But when a b1 holder is married to a USC, he is considered as an immediate family member of the USC. So, he is allowed to adjust status if qualified and his overstay forgiven by the government. Many passed through the same process.

As i said, its not a quarrel. Give it a shot if you wish.

jt2010:
Your statement above about not been ineligible to adjust status to green card from b1 or B2 visa or overstayed visiting visa is totally false and the highest level of ignorant statement about the us immigration laws.

Plz let us learnt to say what we know to true and correct base on fact or not hearsay.

You are absolutely free to try. I do not require a visa so do not find it useful to argue with you... however you should note that a B1/B2 is NOT a dual intent visa (that is why the vast majority of folks allowed AOS in the us are H, L etc. visa holders - these visas are dual intent and you do not have to prove no motive to immigrate). Also note that the whole point of a visa interview is to get on record what the purpose of your use of the visa would be. Should you have been found to have lied about the purpose of your visa, you will not be able to adjust status.

With regard to overstaying your visa... again feel free to try, don't say you were not warned. Not sure why people bother to go through the hassle of being banned and having to deal with ineligibility waivers.

Having gone through the entire immigration process from B1/B2 to H to green card, i found your response rather amusing. But to each his own.

mrego:
people seem to be saying that a lot

Because its frankly the easiest route unless your parents or spouse is a US citizen or permanent resident.

mrego:
thanks... seems the school route is way better. just that the opportunity came and i didnt want it to slide. but wont i get green card if i am fortunate to fall in love with a citizen and we get married?

No. If you came in as a visitor B1/B2, you are automatically ineligible to adjust status to green card in the US. You must go back to your home country to do so. If you had overstayed your visa for >180 days, you would be ineligible for a green card anyway unless you apply for a waiver of inadmissibility. Its not totally impossible but its a long shot.

Why don't you try applying to go to school? That really is your only sane option.
