Here's a great opportunity for those that want to mingle professionally with African students & professionals. They usually have a mixer afterwards - eat, drink, talk, party...whatever. I won't be attending this year, but I was there in 2010 when they had Naeto C. This year its going to be Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and M.I (♫ ♬ Short black boy ♫ ♬) grin

15th Annual Africa Business Conference, 15th-17th February, 2013 at Harvard Business School, Boston MA hosted by the Africa Business Club, a member of Student Clubs of HBS, Inc. The Africa Business Conference is the world's largest student-run event focused on business in Africa. It brings together about 1,200 participants and is the ultimate networking opportunity for business and community leaders, corporate sponsors, students, educators from around the world and anyone passionate about business opportunities in Africa.

The theme for this year's Conference, "Re-defining Africa: The Emergence of a New African Story", is in recognition of the fact that as Africa evolves, so too must the World's perception of Her. The aim of this Conference is to showcase those who continue to shape and influence the African story through business and enterprise, and to create an environment for like-minded individuals to meet, exchange ideas and spur one another on to action.

I-doo-4-love cool
Kpolli and I explained it to you on the laptop thread. Come with whatever transcript you've got (that shows grades from your first year till wherever you're at right now). You need to start applying to schools towards Summer/Fall '13. If you don't get accepted to a college in NY, stay open to affordable schools anywhere in the States. You can always move back to NY when you're done.

LOL you're perfectly fine where you're at. Degree choice is not necessarily a factor in getting sponsorship. The "jobs everywhere" are limited to those with EAD and ONLY if employers are willing to sponsor after graduating (to echo Geodarmy's post). That's the tough nut to crack right there!

WARNING!! LENGTHY POST!
I subscribed to a H1B website that sends mails on hot jobs/industries before the filling season begins each year (April). If you're about to graduate, start job-hunting. I think the H1 visa favors the computer guys and thats my beef with Indians, but thought I share an email that I received anyways.


Dear .....,
Based on 2012 H1B data released by Department of Labor, US employers have filed 415,845 labor certifications for H1B Visa in fiscal year 2012. Please use the reports to find visa sponsors.

H1B Visa Status - 2012:
certified(352,668)
denied(21,149)

Hot Occupation:
IT/Math(234,197)
Engineering(34,521)
Healthcare(23,744)
Science(23,665)
Business/Finance

Others(18,251) awwww not fair! angry
Management(3,977)
Legal(2,000) IMO, Law as Entry-level in the US might be challenging if you're not a GC holder/Citizen.

Hot Job Title:
Programmer Analyst(33,077)
Software Engineer(14,438)
Computer Programmer(9,631)
Computer systems Analyst(9,304)
Software Developer(3,895)
Physical Therapist(3,872) Kpolli: See why I advised Mamacita to do this? They make as much as $80/hr. She already has the natural skills. Lolz
Assistant Professor(3,802)

Hot Location:

New York, NY(28,570)
Houston, TX(12,003)
San Francisco, CA(7,275)
Chicago, IL(6,592)
Atlanta, GA(6,332)
San Jose, CA(6,198)
San Diego, CA(5,029)
Boston, MA(4,597)
Redmond, WA(4,171)
Dallas, TX(4,005)

These are just the top cities but there are other cities listed. Go to the website, select your industry/occupation and it will show results that include the number of people sponsored in a given year, name of company and hot cities for your career. It helped me to narrow my job selection to specific companies that sponsor H1B. Although, I know some impatient guys will do paperz before H1b anyways cheesy grin cheesy

DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST. I can forward the mail if you need it.

TravelRe: Illegal Immigrants In The US Will Be Entitled Citizenship by Yvete(f): 7:40pm On Feb 06, 2013
manny4life: Well, till the final bill is out, we'll see what it entails. You cannot criticize a move even when its details haven't been finalized, besides I don't know what's bogus about it. Immigrants contribute a whole lot to the economy than they take. Granted you have illegal criminals, but the honest living ones far outweigh the bad. Cities like TX that come out and shout illegal immigration, most of their farms on there, do they use real Americans for their cheap labor? From FL to all Southern states, how many white or black Americans do you see? Please Illegal Immigration is helping American system and this is more avenue to earn more money.
Now you've got your opinion and I've got mine.

Lolz ... Are you trying to school me on the contributions of illegal immigrants to the US economy, like I don't know about it? Why do you respond to me with comments about criminals and farmers. I sure know about that. Did I write anything against illegal immigration? How is it relevant to this topic?? huh huh

imperiouxx: @Rickywowoz, Sorry about misleading statement of mine about oil in AL and ND. Still I will prefer you taking ND in place of AL. like I said, for someone just coming from outside US, the place won't be conducive and might affect your studies seriously. Hell not only hot, this place is hell cold. Cheers!https://serve.mysmiley.net/party/party0012.gif
Misleading?? I still think anyone has got an easier chance of getting good O&G jobs if they school in TX, LA and OK. I know 2 young Nigerians (Big boyz now in their own rights grin ) that schooled in U. Oklahoma at Tulsa for Pet Eng (MS). They got good jobs afterwards.

@ Rick: Take a shot at Texas Tech, LSU or U. Louisiana at Lafayette, though hard to get in. I wouldn't recommend UH because its competitive, inside Houston metropolis and people don't mind getting in without GA because of its strong Alumni network in the Houston Energy industry. For assistantships, maybe Alaska and ND.

Pet. Eng in Louisiana is worth it even if you pay out of pocket, IMO.
ND has the best Emergency/Risk Mgmt program in the US for those that are interested.

merryberry: Thanks for the response Kpolli,. I am not a permanent resident. I just schooled here. But my visa is still valid. So I was wondering if I can apply from here instead of going back to Nij. I have done my GMAT. And I am looking to do an MBA or any business related course. Do u know any one that can help with interview tips? Thanks!
kpolli: Yes I know one, her name is Yvete... She likes helping females alot... From ur name u strike me as one, so pressure her grin grin grin

Since ur only a student in UK, u can't do your interview there (i think, confirm this)... As long as u've done ur GMAT, just know about ur area of research and info about your school.... Since u schooled in UK, TOEFL won't be required from u (remember to tell the VO this if he asks)...

To me u've a high chance of getting the visa wherever u apply as long as u do not lie
Loooool I forced rehearsed lines into Mamacita's head before her interview. grin grin Her mother is an independent solid minerals consultant for lipsrsealed

Merryberry:- I think Merryberry is a guy Haha! Just like I-doo-4-love on the other laptop thread lolz. Since you're resident in the UK on an F1 visa, you may be able to apply over there. Otherwise, you may have to apply from NIG. I suggest you ask Justwise and co on the UK thread. Like Kpolli advised, get accepted first. Please do NOT lie about your visa denial. I told Imperiouxx the other day how my cuz was denied US Visa 7 times in Nigeria. He got frustrated and applied to an American International University in Europe in hopes to transfer to the US. After graduating, he went back to the Embassy and they asked, have you ever applied for a US visa? No and the VO said, "I see that you were denied in Lagos and Abuja respectively". CASE CLOSED!

Another bill that's on a path to nowhere!

Citizenship for all illegal immigrants sounds like a joke to me, so bogus IMO. There might be a path to legalization for illegal immigrants, but not direct citizenship. Can Obama focus on other bills worth passing like the STEM? The best thing Obama has done is the DACA. I know several Nigerians that are recipients of that amazing bill, but this one right here, ... is just like asking all undocumented Mexicans to become US citizens overnight. grin
