[quote author=seal777][b]WELCOME TO HOUSTON, WELCOME TO AMERICA. Now i can truly welcome myself to America, having done with ALL my documentation processes. 1. GREEN CARD 30th day ( delivered 21st day but was returned due to incomplete address ). 2. Social Security Card 25th day ( having told to return to SS office after 21 days in US....). 3. Applied for State ID and Drivers License having told to return after 30 days in the US and Scheduled for Behind the Wheel test 28th May at the DPS office( not learners permit as advised by veterans in America who even took a bet with me that I WILL FAIL THE BEHIND THE WHEEL TEST ). 4. Took and pass the Computer test same day i applied for the Drivers license and got my State ID same day ( plastic copy came in the mail after 10 days ). 5. Since i drive very well before i left Naija, I walk around the streets on regular basis and watch drivers observe the various traffic signals and rules, read the traffic handbook and research on the internet using various YOU TUBE VIDEOS available in preparing for the test. 6. 28th May , i was at the DPS office for my Behind the wheel test and I PASSED CLINICALLY ( without attending any driving school or previous behind the wheel training from anyone in America ). I was given a print out copy while i expect the plastic copy in less than 2 weeks. LESSON 1. I noticed there are too many negative thoughts from those we refer to as " VETERANS " in the US, most especially those who find things very hard / difficult when they arrived the US in their days ( with or without genuine documents ). They tend to limit the extent of how far we can go as new immigrant with " LIMITED OR NO EXPERIENCE " of the American system. LESSON 2. Not all those who live in America actually knows America as i was shocked in learning that majority of the rules and procedures i read on the internet was very true while majority of the ideas been sold to me here by those who are suppose to know ( 10 - 35 yrs in the American system ) are not only false but lack substance in its entirety. LESSON 3. Never associate or listen to anyone who rather than encourage you in achieving a mission, discourage you by giving you million reasons why such can not be done. There are too many negativity thoughts in our peoples mind here in America and such are capable of undermining the successes of intelligent, educated and forward looking immigrants who left Naija with the will and mission to succeed in America. LESSON 4. Survival in America is based on the power of information, which is readily available on the internet. Learn to research very vigorously for information, make calls to information's numbers and get first hand information from the source and not rely on HEAR SAY. If you are convinced beyond reasonable doubt you can achieve a feat, go ahead and give it a try ( having made necessary preparations and caution taken ), you are better of failing at the first attempt than not trying at all for the fear of failure or result of discouraging tales from those around you. HUMAN WISDOM IS LIMITED BUT WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE.[/b][/quote you are absolutely right my man! i believes all you said wholeheartly because i experienced same here in california |

jonnywalker: @adeso please my visa expires on june 6 so if by june 6 weve not solve the problem,wat happen? or as far as im here de expiration date wont count?thanksforget the expiring date in ur visa stamp from naija and stop panicing cos ur visa is valid for one year from the date of ur entry into the united states. check the arrival stamp. u need to relax cos u cant get any job without ur ssn but ur visa is ur greencard until the arrival of the card. just make sure u dont miss the appointment and u can always reschedule even if u missed it. just stay calm cos u have no problem. |

nkkystel:hi nkkystel. long time. please u guys can fly direct to ohio to save cos unless u are planning to stay in atlanta. i used new york as my destination before and during interview but i went to los angeles direct. what u have to do is to tell the immigration at the port of entry that u have changed your mind in respect to your host and let him enter new address where they will send the documents to you and believe me u will get all in less than 7 working days. no delay cos of change of destination. @chyzkworld plz connect me again same time cos i missed ur call the other day. am sorry. 1 Like |

junkerhill: Before I forget again, my brother Chirpywest and his beloved wife boarded a plane to LA 3 day ago, since then no one has heard from him. I pray all is well. Gentiger, chirpywest is your closest neighbour, has there been any news from him to us?hello brothers and sisters, sorry i wasnt able to post anything since i arrived here in LA, its cos my black berry battery went flat and the adopter here(i mean the electric socket is not same with the one we are using in naija) so i was unable to charge. we transited smoothly via united airline, did our immigration clearance @Houston and proceeded to LA with another aircraft from the same united and finally arrived LA airport at about 9:45 am LA time.LA have 2hrs difference from Houston. i bought my ticket with less than $400 USD each courtesy of a friend of my host who gave us friends and family slot. will connect later. |
