alutaa: For those that are interested, please, google 'EPIC'. EPIC is a software use for healthcare EMR (Electronic medical record). Thanks for the above post back in January. I am currently moving to South Carolina.I am currently a certified QA tester but also interested in SAP and EPIC. I will appreciate so much if you can link me up in the areas of QA job since thats where i'm presently certified and possibly training opportunity for EPIC and SAP. |

Hi people, been quite a while I left a comment here. I'm gonna be six month away from the US by first week in July and right now planning to go back again for a week or 2 but air fare is up there. I'm thinking if anybody has an info on how I could get a very cheap fare to Dallas/Houston. The reason why I have still not concluded on the plan to move permanently is the anxiety about getting something paying like what I am doing right now. your advise is quite important please. |

U could use www.wakanow.com to compare flight fares, book and pay against the very date you wanna head back in. So have you decided to jettison your cash cow? Please do not jeopardize your residency. |

Imcool: GLORY BE TO GOD! IT'S TRULY THE LORD'S DOING AND IT'S MARVELLOUS IN MY SIGHT. I & wifey left naija via EMIRATES on thursday, 28/04 for Houston. Our flight was scheduled to take off by 8:50pm but took of by 10:30pm cuz d air conditioning unit was not working well and had to be fixed. It was 7hrs journey to Dubai so we arrived Dubai by 8:30am local time on friday 19/04. We missed our connecting flight cuz of d delay in naija and our visas were stamped on transit while our appointment was scheduled for d next day since EMIRATES only fly from Dubai to Houston once in a day. EMIRATES also offered us free transportation, free hotel accommodation, free phone call and meal tickets @MILLENIUM HOTEL- a world class hotel in Dubai. We left Dubai by 9:05 local time on saturday, 20/04 and arrived Houston by 4:30 local time on saturday, 20/04. We went thru all necessary security checks and was was admitted into d US of A. Thanks be to ALMIGHTY GOD and to all of u cuz without u, this great dream of ours wouldn't av been a reality. I'm also sorry for updating u late, i've been really down cuz of d stress and i'm recently trying to get back on my feet. AMERICA- LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, HERE COME IMCOOL! GLORY BE TO GOD!!! |

Under the page where I want to pay for the Green Card for $165, I dont really understand what "billing address" is. Does it mean d place in US i want 2 receive d Green Card? Somebody should please explain this to me. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by loconzo00: 3:48pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
cenobs007: Under the page where I want to The address you have on record with the bank who issued the card with which you are paying is most suitable to use. Its usually the address where your receipt will be sent but in some cases if it does not tally with the address on record, there could be some delays. I hope that helps |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by mogzy(m): 3:49pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
adesojiaderemi@: Thanks Temmy & Soji, I just got married about a week ago, wondering what signal that might be to them. I went through the link and it seems one can not actually predict what the airport's immigration might have in stock for one. I'm thinking of taking a step right now which includes writing my resignation letter with a notice till May ending. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by ogbonlowob: 4:06pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
mogzy: Take it easy my brother! Do not let anyone frighten you. I have my neigbor here in Nigeria who has been servicing her green card for the past 10 years. She goes back to US after every 6 months and spends a week or so. The rules are very clear: You cannot stay out of US for more than 6 months. I know of another guy who couldn't get a good job in Nigeria and went back to continue with his paying job in Nigeria (He works in the embassy and is paid good dollars). Relax! Ask any immigration lawyer, you are not taking any wrong step. Don't leave that paying job till you have found one in US. Be warned!! That link is not an official link from KCC or US Department of State. Comfirm very well, people put all kinds of links on the net to frighten people. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by mogzy(m): 4:24pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
ogbonlowob: thanks ogbonlowo, but could it be your neighbor is already a citizen? |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by ogbonlowob: 4:29pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
mogzy:My neigbor is a medical student and won the lottery when she was in 300levels in the university here in Nigeria. She has used these past 10 years to complete her education, get married and is on her residency programme. She plans to go settle finally in US with her husband after completing her residency here in Nigeria. If you want more proofs, don't rely on such kinds of links: Pay to talk with a US immigration lawyer for like 30 minutes. My brother, real knowledge is power! |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by mogzy(m): 5:07pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
@ogbonlowo, I appreciate your contribution... |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by temmytanny(m): 9:50pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
mogzy: @ogbonlowo, I appreciate your contribution...you can take the risk if you can but pls can you confirm if the person(lady)has gotten her citizenship.I will give you some links soon if you dont believe the ones adesoji posted. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by temmytanny(m): 10:00pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
@mogzy, please read page 10 of this link,if you arent satisfied,then you can go ahead with your initial plans http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/M-618.pdf I dont want to argue with any one here. The website above is USCIS website. |

@ temmy n adesoji, pls can u help to answer my question. thanks |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by seal777(m): 10:58pm On Apr 29, 2013 |

But in the form I send to kcc, I wrote that my family r going with me hope this won't be of any problem at POE for me or them when they r coming in?. Mot at all, for as long as they come into the country within their 6 months visa expiration period, taking into consideration their medical expiry date anyway. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by owobabaisabella: 11:34pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
seal777: . thnx seal77, of cos they will come in before their visa expire. The visa and medical expire the same day, my worry is that on their visa there is where it is written "valid only if Acc/FTJ spouse" that was why i asked if it wont be any problem @ the poe when am the first to come over. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by adesojiaderemi(m): 11:36pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
owobabaisabella: @ temmy n adesoji, pls can u help to answer my question. thanks Sorry baba, I just came back from work.Yes there is no problem with that, my friend in Houston did same thing, he came down as Principal applicant get a job a house within three months and his wife and kids joined him later, but the issue of medical should be taking into consideration too, his wife was disturbed for the medical issue and was mandated to do some physical b4 her green card was finally released. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by ogbonlowob: 11:38pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
Based on the USCIS link above, I think it will be wisdom to thread with care; please, do not resign your job yet. You can write the resignation letter and package one month salary and give to a friend to go to your office and drop if you are successfully admitted into the U.S. at the port of entry. I wouldn't want you to loose both ways. What I mean is this: If you get to the port of entry and they deny you entry into the U.S. and you have already resigned, then you loose 2 ways. To avoid loosing both ways, wait till you are successfully admitted into US before you now ask your close friend or family member to drop your resignation at your office. Find out from others to: You may come in through some routes in the US like the sub-urbs where the immigration officers are not so strict to avoid wahala. Then just jeje enter bus or train till you reach where you dey go. Even if it is from one end of US to another. The quiz to answer now is this: People on this forum should help with port of entry with no much immigration wahala, like a village airport or so. Not airports like JFK or Atlanta. Thanks! |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by adesojiaderemi(m): 11:46pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
ogbonlowob: baba just like your name, wisdom is money o, the link I posted is not to condemn anybody but to shed more light on the issue, recently one of our friend on nairaland too was warned by immigration officer when he came back last month after 6 months in naija to make sure he starts working in United state before his residency clocks two years. The link also emphasized that there must be "a tie to United state" e.g a house, driver's license, bills etc to be a able to naturalize in the nearest future. |
Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by ogbonlowob: 11:47pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
adesojiaderemi@:Sorry, didn't get that medical part well: did the wife's medical expire or was close to expiry? why did she have to do some physical b4 her green card was finally released? thanks. Also Owobaba, you wrote above that your medical and visa expire same time: It is capital " IMPOSSIBLE". You did your medical a week or 2 before interview and so both visa and medical cannot expire at the same time. |
