chio: I have on experience i want to share and dont know whether i have experinced it to.
My host doing is PHd in a college here in New york so instead of staying @home we go out together using the train
on getting to the school his signs me in (i show my int.passport and then they give me a pass)to use the School library.
so before i enter the computer Library the receptionist sees my pass which i pasted on my breastpocket and now opens the door for me to enter the library.
This i have done for like 2days.
So on the 3rd day afta getting a pass as i normally do i now went to the receptionist (The receptionist there that day was a black guy) to open the library door for me to enta the library,the guy was looking and my pass and reading everything there he said my pass was reading Physis astronomy that i may have to go dowm and get a pass for the Library.I was supried i told him i have been using the Library for the past 2days and this was the only pass i was using. he refused.
So i had to trace my host Laboratory(i have nt gotten a fone yet) and told him what the guy said.He was suprised and said that we blacks sometimes we overdo things.
so we went back to me him and he told him that he was a staff there there (Showed him his ID) and there was no extra pass needed,for me to use the library.so he let me and my host went back.
so dats what happened whats your say on this
Stupid AKATA..

We need to find a way sad
My own plan is that Immediately I get the green card, I will apply for it and I learnt it takes time some say 3 months some say less than 3 months.An operator from uscis told me it takes minimum 40 days.Call 8003755283 and listen to the instructions.I will advice you use magicjack so you don't pay for the call.If you call within 8-10 you ca speak to an operator.

Good morning Forumites!
I salute o!! Let me use this opportunity to thank every one on this forum who has contributed in any form to give knowledge and enlightenment to me and others. From the depth of my heart, I say THANK YOU!
Firstly, I will like to inform you all that I finally ported from Nigeria to Virginia with my whole family. I stay with my host in Woodbridge city, Prince William County. Although, we are still settling down, waiting for our green card; but I thank God that our social security number landed within 1 week. Settling down is slow and gradual. We came in through Turkish airlines with a 7 hours stop over at Istanbul and landed at the Washington Dulles International Airport. We were told by our host that we could apply for free meal and health insurance for our kid(s) via www.pwcs.menus.schoolfusion.us\. We are yet to secure employment, since we are still settling down.
Could someone please help answer this question:
Is there any future negative implication of taking this opportunity of this "free free things"? e.g. someone said, when applying for citizenship or loans or some other benefits, one may be denied because of this initial benefits. How true is this? Although, the person who told me said that that is how it works in U.K.?

There's no issue with you applying for these things as long as your host supports your application cos they'll(host) need to support with some docs too.
Where in Woodbridge are you? I stay in stafford & planning to move over to prince william county cos of commute. You can add me on facebook or drop your line & I'll give you a call.
