Hello everyone,

I’ll really appreciate your advices on this matter. I live abroad and my fiancé is in her final year as a Medical Laboratory Science student in Nigeria. Now, the dilemma is that for her to get a practicing license in Nigeria, she needs to go for a 12 month training in any of the teaching hospitals after her graduation, however we are planning on getting married next year so she can come over here and perhaps even start a Master’s degree. My questions are:

1) Can she delay the training till after her Master’s program perhaps?

2) Since we won’t be living in Nigeria, would it be a smart idea to just not do the training at all and move on?

3) What could be some of the future consequences of not doing the training besides the fact that she won’t be able to practice in Nigeria?

4) Should we just delay the marriage until she finishes the training in 2023? (This is the absolute last resort that we pray we won’t have to consider)

All advices and suggestions are welcome particularly from people who have a background in MLS or have had a similar experience. Thanks in advance.
