First time commenting on this thread, but franknetter incase u see this.. Please back out of that decision to return home. To do what exactly? In this trump era?? Please are u not more than 18yrs? Do not accept that decision because if u do, I dont think u can ever pull urself together to do med in Nigeria. Try talk to ur parents again. If they say no, u have no choice than to leave that house and be on your own. Go and rent an apartment and continue with ur job in the US. Save up, Start life there, man up dude, take charge of your life.. Decide on the career path u wanna choose in the US and have a blue print to pursue it. But please do not yield to their decision oo if not you will regret it. My own 2 cents. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

@Franknetter You can consult a credentials evaluation agency(I have forgotten their name)to evaluate your transcripts for a possible transfer to a medical school in Chicago.You are on greencard and not citizenship and under American law if you stay outside u.s for particular number of months it will be revoked automatically meaning that you will have to start the whole process all over again.Contact an immigration lawyer there to confirm what I just said. 29 Likes 1 Share |

There is too much uncertainty in Nigeria. As you said, it's no telling when and if you will ever graduate due to all the unknown s in Nigeria. As mentioned already, you will still need to do your residency (4 years or more I think) in the US if you happen to get your medical degree outside the US. So, considered all these issues before making the decision to go back to Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Correct. A green card holder can not stay outside the US for more than 12 months at a time. So if you go back to Naija, you have to come back to the US every year. aariwa: 7 Likes |

FrankNetter: Study the terms of your green card carefully. Prolonged absence from the US could render it canceled and this has happened to some. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/maintaining-permanent-residence#abandoning FWIW, I vote for returning to Nigeria to further/finish your studies if that is inline with your life plan. 5 Likes 1 Share |

FrankNetter:Hello frank! have been a secret follower of the thread! nice job though! Am a Nigerian Doctor here is NC! @Osahon7 has taken the words of my mind so I guess I really don't have much to say!! You may want to go back and read some of his comments! abandoning your medical school in Nigeria for the US trip was a very wrong decision if you really had a passion to be a Doctor!People say getting a admission into Medical school in Nigeria is tough but here in the States is SUPER HARD AND DIFFICULT! You've got to have excellent high school grades, excellent Undergraduate grads as well as "GOD'S FAVOUR" to get in! you complain of not knowing when to graduate in a Nigerian University, medical school in Nigeria is 6years Officially but it's actually 8 years(with or without strike depending of the school) Isn't that the exact duration you spend here? 4 years Pre med/ Dent and another 4 years med school proper?? I have a friend that took same decision years ago, he abandoned his med school in Nigeria with the Hope of starting over in Canada, on arrival, he became so frustrated with the system that he eventually went to a technical school and he's now working in a technical coy 14 Likes 2 Shares |

FrankNetter:Even me that that had my medical degree in Nigeria, it hasn't been easy trying to hustle my life here as an Immigrant not to talk of coming with no degree! who said you can't work with a Nigerian degree here?? for Medicine all you need to do is to write the USMLE and apply for a NON COMPETITIVE speciality for residency! get done with it and start your life! you only need a US Degree if you are a Dentist. as regards your family's decision to going back to Nigeria, here is what you should do, "MAN KNOW THY SELF" let them know your stand! if you ain't interested in Being a doctor, you've got to tell them straight up! they may allow you stay! else, it's never too late bro! https://anpa.org/ that's The website of the Association Of Nigerian Physicians In America! look for the anpa chapter closest to you contact any member of that chapter for guidance and advice! all the best 12 Likes |

DPizzy: Bro. Good day been reading up your comments and i'm thrilled. I've always wanted to move canada if I decide to move but i'm being discouraged by their tuition. Do any of the schools you listed above accept part payment of tuition and completion when I arrive canada and resume studies with part time work? What can u tell me about australia? Some agent here already gave me the option of part payment tuition schools there but i've always loved canada. Whats your advice to me? |
