when i applied in some of these foreign schools i saw the section they highlighted the things u have to pay for when u get the addmission. U pay for ur tuition fee,ur SUG fee,then u pay for the meals,then for accomodation that will be provided for the school if u choose to reside on campus. A friend of my mom...her son is doing medicine in the ukraine. Now ukraine is a poor country by european standards but the guy said they get fed by the school and the food is satisfying and cheap. The west has its problem but food will be the least of their problems. Where u might feel the pinch when buying food is nigerian meals cos nigerian meals are damm expensive there.Nobody is saying the west is easy and a place where u pluck money with ease but for a place where the system works and where u can get a menial job to support ur schooling i dont see why someone would be whining about the west being unfair to him.afterall those nigerians that work and school over dere no get five heads.

Yes, receiving benefits when you are not qualified can prevent that person from gaining citizenship in the future and they can be criminally charged.Below is a link on qualifications for receiving foods stamps.

Girl don't act like you know it all. I know exactly what my friend does and she's 100% legit. There is always a way where there seems none. I'm not a novice and have much travel experience to know these things. There are so many things you can do to earn legit in America which don't involve full time or off campus jobs. Even here in Nigeria you have people crying for jobs but thousands of opportunities abound which they're blinded to.

Sourcethe:
She is an idiot. She must be lazy from birth. As a student you are entitled to work. In America you can wake up and get a job that will put food on your table within 24 hours. Can you get that in Nigeria

planetx:
To many dumb comments from people that thinks money is picked from trees abroad, she is not discouraging anyone from going abroad just telling you her experience. Most of you will probably be dissapointed when you get to the abroad, it's always nice and rosy looking at the abroad from Nigeria. But shame will not let most people come back, so you stucked.

there is as i heard.they offer free food to homeless ppl and very poor ppl over there. Heard is operated by churches and phillantropic groups. There was this jornalist working in nigeria's TELL magazine. The guy travelled to atlanta and visited one of those free food units.they call them soup kitchens. He said the chicken he ate in the soup kitchens was very tasty and the food well served. Thats food for poor ppl oo.

It is only in America I come to realize that you don’t need someone that knows somebody that knows somebody that know another somebody who would now be the one that knows maybe another somebody before you can get anything done.

Everything is by following the process on your own. No sort, no bribing whatsoever. In fact you don’t need any friends if you care before you live a happy life and make progress on your own. Thanks be to God I did what the OP advised.

I may have qualified for it based on NM state law on poverty level but such I believe doesn't reach the embassy here in Nigeria. Don't forget that we show large sum of money when applying for the visa and so we should be able to take care for our staying in US by ourselves. This is why I didn't submit that form. I only went to the hospital for a reduction in my monthly payment not for any public assistance. Any government assisted program that helps you to pay a bill or give you aids etc is regarded as public assistant. Everything done in US goes into one's record, so I can't say things like can't be pulled up if needed by the appropriate body. Lastly, medical bill is not part of hipaa and hipaa rules can be rendered insignificant by government.

imperiouxx:


Yes the hospital will ask you to pay your medical bills but in some counties, the bill can be shared if you don't make enough money. In NM when you don't make enough and can't pay your medical bill, there is a program they run to pay outstanding medical bills for citizen and non-citizen. Davidlan used to be an old member here. In 2012 when I have a medical bill to pay and was advised in the hospital to use this program, this is the message I wrote to him. I had medical insurance before and after this hospital visit but not at the time of visit. Also, I've heard of a kind of medicaid program for pregnant women that foreign students can use but can't remember the program precisely.

Timotee:


As an international student, you're mandated to have health insurance which is usually used for health related issues. However, i[b]t's possible to circumvent the system and illegally apply for and use public assistance[/b] in some states. It's easier in some states, e.g. Arizon, than others. If a person on a non-immigrant visa is found to have illegally used such services reserved for citizens, it will hinder any future immigration purposes.

imperiouxx:


A case of false misrepresentation. I hope you didn't use any public assistance? A way similar to naijatisumi's case, only that he hasn't seen the outcome of his F2 application. Talk to NIV on naiaraland. naijatisumi case could be 50/50 if he addresses his previous denials, his wife still on status and they didn't use public assistance during her maternity care.

Lol, they go say I be jeoulous person or I get poor mindset. No , I’m just being realistic.

It happens both ways..... many US citizens have switched to Canada as well.

I live in the midwest and it's crazy to note that most people especially in the rural areas are not used to seeing black people. Each time I visit those areas, I smile and mind my business so I dont get shot. Racism lives and thrive here but they wouldn't say it openly.
I think the West and East coast are less racist

jerryunit48:

Just because you dont make a certain amount doesn't mean its not attainable.. The guy in question is an independent contractor and a senior level Security Analyst. I you read my post carefully i said he does multiple jobs from home. Right now he has 4 contract jobs he is working on right now.. To each his own..

Ezehrobinson:
Hello people,
I wrote the GRE today.
It was really an experience.

Will give full detail later

Chapecoense:

Some people's application can be really fast and if an Interview is to be scheduled before Issuing the EAD, there will be a hold completely and will not bother wasting resources producing the EAD until the outcome of the interview.

Chapecoense:
If approved, the GC comes first

Chapecoense:
lol but if the officers are not approving the GC immediately then the EAD is issued pending when the GC is approved

Chapecoense:

True that applying for an EAD is optional during the AOS process, But i am talking about situations where the beneficiary files concurrently for an EAD, advance parole along side form I-485. It is not unheard of for an interview date to be scheduled before the EAD is issued. That 90 days your talking about doesn't even apply anymore as alot of people's application takes way longer than 90 days lol.
But if a beneficiary is lucky to have his case transferred to a field office with less work, They can even schedule an interview before issuing the EAD.

https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/why-i-didn-t-received-a-ead-card---but-was-schedul-3526103.html

You can read up some people's timeline to see what i am saying.

Chapecoense:

The information is not wrong, some people get GC even without a work permit in hand.
Depends on the field office handling his or her case.
But majority of applicants usually get the EAD and at a later date an interview is scheduled, then eventually the PR in hand.

Chapecoense:

Really depends on the type of work permit the beneficiary is applying for.
Alot of people even get their PR even before a work permit (EAD) is Issued ( predominant amongst marriage based applications)

kroger:


I just replied your mail.. I aint talking about this no more on here b4 we derail this thread.. thanks

kroger:


This is why i said if anyone on this platform is in atlanta he should hit me up, we are having a success party next week saturday, about 4 of his student just got their first jobs ( All six figures).. One of them got two jobs at once about $320k his 8th and 9th interview, surely i am next to ply that route.. Is it only Google and facebook that is the only company that pays good in the whole 50 states?? Remove that mentality from your head.. I sleep and eat ziprecruiter.com. dice.com, careerbuilder.com, monster.com none of those sites will actually give u a definite pay, they always base pay on estimates..

I wont talk about this again but i will be willing to liberate anyone who is willing to learn contact me, if you are in the Atlanta area or even Tennessee hit me up and see for ur self..
