Paccus: Depends on how you define first generation American. The Constitution sets out three eligibility requirements to be President: must be 35 years of age, a resident “within the United States” for 14 years, and a “natural-born Citizen" (includes children born in the U.S. by immigrant parents - legal or illegal). Naturalized citizens i.e. became Americans via the greencard route, cannot run for the Presidency. 2 Likes |

Dremca: I stated my thoughts and experiences (as the thread title says) and you moved to an analysis of my life. Again, taking out your opinions and feelings will make you analyze laws (see pompeii reference the constitution above) with a clearer lens and in neutral light. I didn't write the laws. This is why I don’t discuss Religion and Politics – people can hardly set aside their emotions. I have officially added Race and Immigration to the list. Thank you. 16 Likes |

What do you mean by ending the deal?? You are not buying the house again? Pulled out of the deal... See my previous post below, like I knew what was in the offing: In yankee reality, we just bought a house... In my head, this will be 50% done when we sign the actual contract and 100% done when we 'close' on the house and the keys handed over to us. It has been a stressful 4 weeks and glad this seems to be getting to a logical close. We were sent an email for a "time sensitive offer" on Wednesday evening, without previous notice, these were totally different floor plans/designs from what we had discussed with the sales rep (lady C). We adapted, selected a new design and replied under 30minutes that we were very interested.. Thursday: No feedback from them, had to go in person to ask what was happening and why the silence. Paid the earnest money that afternoon. Around the evening time, Lady C called "congratulations on your new home! You'll receive the contract in 15 minutes"... 15 mins later, no contract... 50 mins later, still no contract. Friday: Went there in person, still no contract sent. Saturday: No contract, multiple texts and calls from our Realtor... Story "We have the contract on the systems, we'll send it out when Lady C comes to the office". Day ends - no contract. Sunday: Realtor went to their office in the evening, stilll... No contract! Monday: More stories.... Still no contract.. Tuesday: No contract... We were done with that system of NO communication... How bad would this get if we had issues during construction that needed to be addressed?? 7 days was enough time to know this was a bad sign. We told them we were no longer interested. They voided the Earnest check. Case closed. 9 Likes |

Good morning everyone! Please I have a question. I am strongly interested in migrating to the US. I am a graduate. If my PhD applications are successful I will be traveling next year on F 1 visa. My fiancee is studying nursing. What is the best/easiest/legal way to migrate with her so she can work as a nurse? She can't work with F-2 visa while I am on F-1 |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by neurosci: 9:25am On Nov 24, 2021 |
preciousnobel:She needs to be a nurse first, before she can work as a nurse. |

MackyNaija:Hi bro, I have a question about mpower. Assuming I have a GA that covers tuition but not fees, can I collect a loan that covers for fees and dependants? Will it look okay? |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by samdovey(m): 10:43am On Nov 24, 2021 |
preciousnobel: Hello. Your wife must be finish her program as a registered nurse in Nigeria and work for at least one year before she can migrate to USA. She can work as a nurse in the USA but the process takes about 1 to 2.5 years. My wife was also a nurse in Nigeria before we migrated to the USA. I was studying on FI and she was on F2 visa. We adjusted our status to green card holder while I am still studying. Any bonafide nurse from Nigeria can migrate and work in the USA as a registered nurse. She would need to evaluate her credential with CGFNS and take the Nclex exam. Then, look for an agency or hospital to sponsor her adjustment of status and green card. If you need more clarification, let me know. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

I have a sister at Uottawa canada. She wants to know about the loan and do i need to pay weekly or monthly , also about the interestrate MackyNaija: |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by preciousnobel(m): 9:27pm On Nov 24, 2021 |
samdovey: She already graduated from school of nursing (like 3 years ago) and has her Nigerian license. She is studying for her BSc. I sent you a pm. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by samdovey(m): 12:05am On Nov 25, 2021 |
preciousnobel: Is she working right now ? She can migrate to USA, school of nursing diploma and registration with board of nursing in Nigeria is enough to start her immigration process . 2 Likes 1 Share |

bukhety:If you are yet to come into the US, prodigy is better off. Mpower deals strictly with immigrants so they need strong proof that you'll be successful in America... That's why it is advised you have foots on ground, have done a year of studying (you are likely to complete the 2yr program), have done an internship (so at graduation, a job is more likely) and your past work history gives an indication of your future. To your question, YES, the loan can be used to support "anything"... living cost, fees, car purchase, relocation for internship or full-time work and so on. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

biolaowo:I can't remember but it was either... - interest only payment in school or no payment in school - grace period of maybe 3 months post graduation before the payment starts I believe I have written the rate somewhere here (could be around 10%, can't remember becos I have refinanced multiple times and current rate is 2.75%). Original duration was long, maybe 7 or 10years, monthly payment post graduation was not upto $300. With the current refinance rate, total interest will not be over $1500 for the remaining 5 years, so I'd rather not payoff early and use my money for a Camry. ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

Scoped out the new Call0fDuty-Vangu4rd all day online... can't wait for 'Mad'Friday rush to end so I can jejely scroll into the store on Saturday morning to pick up a copy. Itching to get my hands on it after demolishing COD-ColdWar... ![]() ii. Didn't buy shyte over this period, na who get money deh do buy buy... Nigerian billing don finish me. E remain small make I broke. ![]() iii. Watched 6 latest movies in two days, I sweaaarrrr... I love being in Tx! I lazy die! ![]() iv. The most interesting part of my long holiday and by extension why I love being in America... I can easily afford to run unnecessary 'pet projects' very comfortably: Resurrected an older laptop that had gotten slow - 8gb RAM, 1000gb HDD. like play I opened AmzDotCom, placed an order for upgrade parts and just completed the hardware installation and operating system cloning.. I learned a whole lot along the way and experienced the huge transition in technology (I had gotten rusty, last tinkering was in naija university with my desktop and post graduation with a troublesome laptop). I now have a factory reset windows10 system with Core-i5 8250u processor, 16gb RAM, 1000gb HDD, 256gb M.2 NVME and a dedicated graphics card... omo! the system deh flyyyy! ![]() ![]() Priced for cheap: a quarter of a million naira ONLY ![]() ![]() Maybe I go open my current lappy to see the next unnecessary project to run! ![]() My Lexus Rx go suffer for my hand once our house complete. A big garage, large enof to get my hands dirrrty! Can't wait! ![]() ***Posted from my abandoned Asus Vivobook.. It runs great! 21 Likes 2 Shares |
