engyadewale: My greetings to all honourable members of this hallowed room. May Almighty God increase you all in knowledge, wisdom and understanding. It's my desire to articulate certain interrogations about the payment of USCIS which is 165 dollars. I read on this forum sometimes ago that certain letters were to be changed or added to the alien number given by the embassy but I still do not understand. Please I covet your illumination on this.
Also, can the payment be made using the regular ATM debit card that is of Master card, or are there designated cards to be used for the payment?
Please succour me on these queries. Thank you so much.
Guy!!! I gbadun your use of grammar o.... (lol).
On the USCIS payment that you need illumination on, you will need to add 0 b4 the Alien no i.e. A012345678 instead of A12345678 and you can pay with a GTBank debit card linked to your current account(from my experience) or a dollar funded Visa card.
I hope these succour your queries.

Perhaps you may call KCC and provide them with the address. Have your case number and every other details close by while making the call. Just request that you will like to make an update on your forms.

Pls sir/ma over there i need your reply.Thank you and God bless you all.

Hello friend, both myself and my wife got our SSN one week after getting to the US, upper marlboro just 45min drive from Baltimore in same state of Maryland. we already downloaded and filled our ssn form planning to go to the ssn office next day, we were surprised to receive our SSN card in the post. we got here on the 19th of june, got SSN 27th of june, im suspecting they will send yours as well, if you didn't get it in the post after waiting then you can go to the ssn office
jidex001: I was in social security office today to apply in baltimore. I was told to return after the 30th day of my arrival to america. Which will be july 18 and they asked after my GC and I told them I have not got my Gc yet. Pls can anyone talk about my case.

You stand a better chance in manufacturing/production and mechanical field while you can build on your IT career with time. As a mechanical technician you can make fortune with just the use of diagnostic tool and start your workshop later, as a Production supervisor; your experience will attract most of the employers and may give you a good head start.

If you are a mechanical engineer with auto option try as mush as posible to get famialiar with the use of car digonistic tool; this is simply use to diagonise a possible problem with a car in order to fix it.

I have been a silent observer on this topic o and i don't have solution to your problem but i cant help noticing your English !!! wow !!! please i covet your illumination on how to speak like this and please succour me this request. thank you grin grin grin grin grin.


On a more serious note,for those with delayed GC, your GC is sent to the address you put down at your point of entry regardless what you filled in your earlier forms (anything longer than latest a month you should be concerned). I had a similar problem too although i filled the correct address on my point of entry but i didn't include apartment number, after waiting for 1 month i went to their office and can you imagine one of the elderly officer told me GC takes 7 months or so, people kept telling me it was a wrong info so i called their HQ office and finally the error was detected and corrected. They even said they had posted it before and it was returned undelivered, so they re-posted it and i got it 2 weeks later.

You can do most things with your SSN (you don't need GC to get SSN) and the IV in your passport, open bank account, find work and other stuffs but in Illinois you cant get a state ID without GC or driver's License.

Since you have gotten the welcome letter you don't have any problem then, your GC would get to you in matter of days (exclude weekends). Your GC comes in a single sealed letter envelope.

If IT is your eventual goal, you already have something to start with. Certification and experience are necessary in the field of IT. I will recommend that you get your A+ certification. You should also consider getting certifications in the following areas:

Unix/Linux (e.g. Linux+, RHIT/RHCE)
Database Administration (e.g. SQL Server / Oracle / MySQL)
Project Management (e.g. Prince2, PMP, ITIL - Foundation)

Since you have experience as an IT trainer, you might be fortunate to get an opportunity as a part-time/full-time tutor at one of the Community Colleges wherever you are.

For mechanical engineering with regards to working in production, consider learning PLC programming in addition to what you currently do.

For Auto mechanic, see if you can learn the following:
* Brake Service
* General Service
* Engine repair
* Transmission repair
* Body work
* Diagnostics (you can learn the use of diagnostic tools when you get here.)

It's good to have multiple skill sets.

Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by missannie: 5:10am On Jul 12, 2013
@ Adesojiaderemi: How are you & the family? Thanks for your previous advice, It has really helped me in so many ways.

I have received my SSN, but still haven't gotten any positive result concerning the ''G.C''.
I'll have to apply for State ID now so I can start working, before maybe applying for another (G.C) i.e file form I-90, like you wisely advice.
Pls, I also need 1 or 2 advice from you again;
I am a School Cer. holder also with Computer Skills, though I have worked in the Banking sector back in Nigeria (Microfinance Bank for 4yrs).

(1) What kind of Job can I get without an American Certificate?
(2) How can I get a Job here in the State? Cus, I want to be Working & also Schooling.
(3) Is there any training required before getting a Job?

I look forward to your swift response, God bless you. Thanks

Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by Remmy488(m): 11:10pm On Jul 12, 2013
Since u have ssce, I would advice u attend a CNA or MEDTEC class it's helpful and more beneficial dan working in a mall or eatery. Jus try n locate a CNA or MEDTEC approaved training center near you and register 4 it, it will b useful 4u and from there u can go 2 community college in ur county. U can also try Correctional work too though d processng takes time.
