No mind the enemies within, we know them by how they disparage the military and abuse them here. Stupid ingrates, an army fighting so they keep enjoying their freedoms.
This is a shameless copy of the slogan Americans use to describe their military. I don’t think there is any Nigerian who thinks the Nigerian army is fighting for our freedoms. What freedoms exactly?

Hello everyone please i need advice on what to do...i applied for a Us visa in October 2021,its over a year now no interview appointment date yet....could it be that my agent didn't even fill the online application for me ?

You just flushed money down the drain for something that should have taken no more than an hour to do on your own online.
TravelRe: Why Are Salaries In Europe So Low? by TWoods(m): 6:04am On Dec 26, 2022

This is a typical american wages

1000-2000/mo is poverty lower middle class
3000-5000/mo is middle class
6000-10000k/mo is upper high class
11000+/mo is rich in america
Depends. By Gods grace, I am on the upper range of your scale and I can assure you $11000+/month net isn’t necessarily rich depending on where you live. Fantastic pay if you live in Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi etc. that’s nothing if you live in NYC, California, Washington state…
TravelRe: Why Do Nigerians Become Less Religious When They Travel Abroad? by TWoods(m): 6:39am On Dec 25, 2022
Originalsly:
It is written everywhere ..... but not in the Bible. I think the Bible says God helps those who can't help themselves.... like the handicapped... not sure.... Bible scholars should know.
It’s not in the Bible, so clearly God doesn’t say such a thing, regardless of how many people write it wherever they wish.
TravelRe: Why Do Nigerians Become Less Religious When They Travel Abroad? by TWoods(m): 5:53am On Dec 25, 2022
Originalsly:
I believe the opposite ... that one gets more religious when abroad. If one was a church goer in Nigeria ... when he goes abroad he will attend church because it is a must for him on Sundays ... a sin if he doesn't. When he gets to the church abroad ... he will see a huge difference... the biggest being collecting money is not a priority... they usually collect once or maybe twice if there is a special offering. If you give or don't give ... give much or give little doesn't matter at all... if you give $100 000 dollars you wouldn't be praised or be given special attention. The preaching will be to lift you spiritually ... help keep you away from worldly vices ... not about squeezing more money out of you. It is then your eyes will open and you realize all the while you were being scammed back home. It is then you will decide to be religious.... to see things differently... to realize all the hollering and screaming was a sham and not tolerated abroad as it is expected back home to prove you are filled with a spirit. It is then you will know it is written God helps those who help themselves ... and there will be no midnight prayer vigils to go to for God to favor you and get a job for you while you sit at home waiting. Over to you!
That is not written anywhere.

Honestly, i really appreciate your time in answering my questions.

But i hope you're not keeping some secrets from me maybe because you may feel this is an open space and there's a limit to what you can say.

I'm really paticular about the f2 for my civil partner. If you say its a temp visa of course i do know it is. But so many applicants here do it for their wife, are you telling me all of them go thru the stress of doing it for their wife even after knowing the wife will just be there for a short time and she wont work, or is there a secret nigerians are using over there whereby the wife can stay longer and do some under the radar job.
You can always do whatever you want, but there are always going to be consequences. You should remember these “under the radar” issues will crop up when it’s time to apply for permanent status. This isn’t Nigeria… It sickens me to read people openly seeking for ways to break the law and expecting to get away with it.

My sister. Want to ask u something. Is it possible for one's credit score to increase without having to devise the cc or borrow and pay back on time method.

Cant someone just live his life normally, earn his salary, and use his card to buy something with the money in his card. Wont this also increase credit score?
A credit score is simply an estimate of how good you are with debt (credit). So you can’t improve your credit score by never having debt.

eniola1010:
I have been reading the thread. From page1 and kudos to all the guys contributing. Please i have series of questions.


1) first and foremost, are all of you on the thread from a rich home. Cus after my findings, usa tuition no be beans o. Jesus. I'm planning to go for my phd because currently i'm almost done with my msc. And i learnt average tution for phd in usa is 28k usd per year, and phd is like three years and above, where will i see money from?
Not at all. For biomedical PhDs, you can look for fellowships, teaching or graduate assistantships to cover your tuition + stipend.

eniola1010:
2) additionally, i heard f2 cant work, is this true? If so, is there a way to circumvent it? I also heard f1 cant work, is this also true, if so, is there a way to circumvent it?
Yes F2 visa holders are not allowed to work and there is no way to circumvent this. F1 holders can work in limited circumstances… and for no more than 20 hours per week. If you’re on a fellowship for example, you are not allowed to work. It’s worth asking, is a phd a path to study for you or a path to come and work?

eniola1010:
3) furthermore, is it best to apply with my civil partner, or i should first go, and she applies after i am already there?
Your civil partner will have to get her own visa on her own merit.

eniola1010:
4) going forward, from people's transcript on the thread, most of the enlightened ones here says the f2 should tell vo that they are only going to be with the f1 for few months and they will return back, what if the vo gives the f2 a 4months visa, and the 4 months is due, will the f2 be sent packing back to where she was coming from or how can the f2 find a way to still remain with f1?
The F2 visa is a temporary visa, it is not intended for permanent stay in the US.

eniola1010:
5) Also, after f1's education tenure is over, what can f1 do to still remain in the US?
Get a job and extend your stay through an OPT or h1b work visa.

eniola1010:
6) pre-ultimately, is it possible for me to pause my schooling and just be working or is it possible to dump the schooling with no harsh clap back from visa team.
No. You are required to maintain full time status until you graduate. The consequence is the school will terminate your F1 status and report you to immigration authorities. Feel free to take the chance though.

eniola1010:
7) lastly, are doctorate degree cheaper than phd in usa
A phd is a doctorate degree.

Also ask your sibling to send you a scanned copy of his/her PR card (back and front). I know of a person who was unable to complete his express entry application because he claimed sibling point and received ITA. When it was time to submit application the sibling began to drag his feet and refused to send the scanned copy of the card
That’s shocking for a sibling
TravelRe: Update. Who'd Be Kind To Host And Show Me The Way In The US? by TWoods(m): 8:18am On Dec 23, 2022
Artiiclebeast:
This thread needs to be marked and made a reference point.

I'll drop notes.

Been in the US since May and it has been the best story of my life I'm forever grateful to God for directing my path and continuously ushering my way.

It's been more than a life and experience I ever could dare to dream of and my gratitude is unending.

My people, I started working the day after I got into this country of God and it has been obvious that God did set my foot upon here and given me "it" for inheritance. This country and land is indeed where my destiny belongs.

As I write, I can afford whatever I want, drive whatever car I want, working hard legally, saving up, and on my way to buying a business. This is my bigger goal.

To cut a long story short, everything has just been falling into the right places that I can't even find the right words to describe or explain it. Everybody around me dey surprised even the folks I met here but heck, I am not. Why? I earned it my people. If you knew me and my history, you'd agree with me that I did truly earn it and deserve more.

Life...

Na me be this?

Earning $6k effortlessly monthly, driving a 2014 car, and studying at the same time.

Sometimes I just try to calculate how much I have made here in total since May and my head go wan scatter, but my bank account balance and the funds i repatriate monthly to support family and friends is a testament to how God and life had been both good and kind to me.

Should I also add that within this time under review that i was able to buy my daughter a 2016 car?

Infact....


Thank you, God.

Thank you, nature.

Thank you, my destiny.

Get inspired and stay positive...

Impossible is nothing.

Make una no dey discourage people oh. Everybody head and destiny dey different and there is so much you lots who have lived here for eons do not know. This, and more, I can tell you for free.

Na me dey even dey tell people wey I meet here say "do am like this, do I'm like that".

I go buy business here...people wey dey do am no get 5 head.

The plan is on...

Max, 3 years....

God bless.
You got a job the very next day you landed here, obviously an illegal job since you require a SSN for that. The rest of your self congratulatory post is fine. Just drop the blindingly obvious fraudulent references to a God you obviously do not reverence.

I still believe there will be one more draw this year but scores will definitely be closer to 500. Express entry is now much more competitive than it was a few years go. I met a lady who came got ITA with 431 in 2018. With the number of international students enrolling into colleges and universities in Canada I'd suggest that anyone interested in applying should do so as quickly as possible because once these students graduate and work for one year they'll enter the pool with higher scores due to canadian education and canadian work experience
If I were under 25 years, this is absolutely the fastest route to Canada.

Nice input boss

You forgot to mention another online wizard which is originalsly

Originalsly lives in the US, flaunts henessy and a good life he lives but actively discourages anyone from japa and even learning an IT skill to be prepared for japa.

His reasons are racism and that he can't work two jobs just to give all the earning back to white men in the name of tax lol... so he's telling everyone not to learn a tech or med skill or work two jobs so as to earn high

....very wicked fellow I must say...
Isn’t that the Originalsly who supposedly got a visa to “visit” NY and never left? grin Smart guy but his thread always gives me a chuckle anytime i remember it.

Good afternoon, please anyone in the house that can help out with recommendation ?I've been chasing after my former lecturers and nothing is forthcoming. Even my Msc supervisor did one and he didn't do others � �.
Also,is it a must for the email to be from a school? Can it be personal or any other company emails?
What you should have done is have each lecturer give you one recommendation… then forward that same letter to all the schools you selected. All you need to do is change the addresses and addressees. Expecting busy lecturers to craft several recommendation letters is stretching it.
