Itiswellblessed:Ur write up didn’t state your Gender, However where does your spouse reside...? From your WRITE-UP, it clearly shows you are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT and I believe you know the punishment that follows such especially when you leave the US finally...?? It’s not something to imagine... Think Before take your final step. |

Itiswellblessed: Maa'm, I really do feel sorry for you and anyone else in your situation especially with the current situation of things in Nigeria. However, I want you to think seriously about what you're getting your kids into. They will end up being in limbo like the "dreamers". When they are done with high school and become of age, they will need proof of legal status to go on to college, at least to determine instate vs out state vs internattional tuition. Not sure how they can do this legally. In addition, they can't get a drivers license. It will be very difficult for them integrate into society. It's a long shot, but it's possible that dreamers might be granted a pathway to legal status but by the same vein, other possible loopholes might be blocked. My point is that it's a crapshoot situation for your kids. If they grow up here and can't make any headway in gaining legal status in the future, they will be stuck between two countries. Can't legally stay in the U.S. and almost impossible to go back to Nigeria because they have been away for too long. If you do not have any plans or pathway for getting you and your kids legal status, please seriously consider going back home. The biggest victims here are your kids! 26 Likes |

I read your advise to the OP but I am a legal resident in Europe at the moment. I am much interested in the poultry business you mentioned. Reason is, I know this place isn't my home and someday I will retire back to Nigeria finally. Since I won't be having pension for life, I am planning viable business one can set up back home like the poultry you mentioned. With one million naira, how many poultry birds can one get? How lucrative is the business? A timely response will be appreciated. Thank you. peacengine: 1 Like |

partnerus:Good luck running your poultry business from afar. Those on ground are having a hard time with workers stealing eggs and birds. How do you hope to monitor your business from Europe? 11 Likes 1 Share |

Beautyaddy: False. ICE has arrested 37, 000 non criminals, a 145% increase from 2016. Trump has given ICE far greater power under his administration than Obama did. ICE has stopped prioritizing catching and deporting violent criminals over non criminals. It's now fair game for anyone. This is common knowledge. Furthermore, with the South Americans attempting to cross into the U.S, Trump has given border officers/soldiers permission to use lethal force if they have too to prevent them from entering. I suggest you do some research and stop passing out false information yourself. This administration is not one to play with when it comes to being illegal. I agree she should enter Canada during the summer, but will she have time ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b4lhryAXQU https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-says-troops-will-use-lethal-force-border-if-they-n939321 6 Likes |

Funny how the people telling u not to return are mostly peeps who haven't left the shores of Nigeria. It's safe to say they don't know what you are experiencing over there, to them you are in Paradise In my opinion, I think you should consider returning home or living in W.African country. Sit back and reflect on your children's future. I personally can't put myself through your experience for any reason, consider your kids. I'm not sure how they'll get to be American citizens but if it's not foreseeable, it's not worth it. 7 Likes 1 Share |

maternal: You are correct. Here is another case where ICE were called to detain an illegal immigrant: https://abc13.com/army-base-orders-pizza-and-then-calls-ice-on-delivery-worker/3573405/ |

Itiswellblessed: If your kids are not citizens , then it would not be good for them either because they don’t have legal stay. Because you are out of status , your only option at this point is marriage , I would not recommend marrying just for green card though because it can end up back firing and causing more trouble than it’s worth. Other options are not available since you are out of status except for family sponshorship which takes long and you stated that your family is back home anyways. |

Babyvet:The moment He leaves the US, he will never be allowed into the US again. Because he has already been tagged/blacklisted. They have clearly stated it there, that you overstayed your visit. Another OPTION is just to get married to a GREENCARD holder, which you ought to have done since. 1 Like |

TheCongo2: No. It's the ignorance and arrogance most Nigerians have when coming abroad; specifically to the U.S. They also buy the bullsh!t "American dream" which is just that, a dream. When they realize abroad is not a banana republic and laws are followed and enforced here, they end up being out of status and asking for help on nairaland. I'm curious to hear her story on how and why she let herself and children go out of status. 5 Likes |

EVILFOREST: Well it’s a she, and getting married is not that easy in this country, especially she since she has two kids already. I would be wary of it , it’s not as easy as sounds especially under this administration. 2 Likes |

Beautyaddy: Well she has to be careful presenting herself to the US immigration, if her case is denied then she could face deportation. A lot of Nigerians at the border were actually denied. |

Mizwisdom: My sister thank you, I totally agree with . Until they live here , they will not understand . Not having paper in this country with two small kids just sounds like disaster waiting to happen. Life can be tough for American citizens , not to talk of somebody without paper. Most who live outside of America have fairytales dreams about this country. They have no idea about the how system works. The us government has not done an immigration reform in decades. The op has already made a mistake and I would caution her to tread carefully with her next steps. 10 Likes |

Mizwisdom:Honestly. Majority of them are living in Lagos slums. I just pity the op. I prefer living in Abuja than being in her kind of America. I know many people will come for this comment but even while in Nigeria, i make on average $1k monthly aside my well paying Job and a car I kept in uber than brings N120k/month (30k/week). Nigeria will remain my abode. With the money in my account, I can go to any country because i can fund it but then, I prefer Naija. Not going to anywhere I will be spending money while my days are counted like those with prison sentence. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
