Thanks for this breakdown.

Does this breakdown differ for immigrant visa?

Of course. Legal immigrant is way way higher than what i posted.

Which visa are you actually applying for? Non immigrant or immigrant?

I want to start with non-immigrant and later shift to immigrant visa. However, I want to weigh the cost of that decision before embarking so I don't get stuck on the way.

seyewest:

I did it for my sister's friend, cancel it and reapply make sure you click on no interview for b1 b2

hello, how do you cancel already paid for interview (but I’ve not picked a date yet). Just found out I qualify for a Dropbox (48 months expiration)

Anyone knows about the Abuja interview waiver timeline and how to go about dates.

Secondly, my receipt is saying invalid, I paid September 2022 and didn’t bother looking for a date then. I’ve now qualified for an interview waiver (48 months).

Same dilemma o

Hello everyone,

Compliments of the season.

Please I need help.
I paid for my US visa fee on May 30 2022, sum of 67,200. Currently visa fee is 72000. I have tried to use my transaction receipt but it is not going through.

Please do I need to pay balance/difference or a fresh visa fee of 72000.

Please help. Urgent.

Thank you

I think you need to sit down and understand what you’re doing. You don’t just “shift” to an immigrant visa, you do that either by marriage or having a company sponsor you for a work visa.

Thanks I appreciate that.

Okay, please what's would be the cost of immigrant visa?

You need someone to sponsor you for that. Cost is not the first priority.

How can I go about the work sponsorship? What websites can I go to find the job offers?

Dropbox is not on the cards for us right now.
He's never applied for a US visa before.

So what are we doing on this thread? I thought it was about how to travel?

You’re correct. But I think you’re making a key mistake, it’s a place to share info, not a free agency or babysitting forum. You’ve been asked several times to use google to find the information you need by yourself. You are not obligated to be here.

For employee sponsored jobs, you will have to look for jobs that sponsor H1, L1, or O1 visas. These are all dual intent visas. L1 visas are intracompany transfer visas so it is not likely that this will apply to you. H1 and O1 are specialty occupation visas. For H1 or O1 visas, your company can sponsor you for a GC after a couple of years of employment. There are certain requirements that you must meet to ensure that you are you eligible for these types of visas. See links below. Look through and see if you qualify.

https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/h-1b-specialty-occupations

https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/o-1-visa-individuals-with-extraordinary-ability-or-achievement

The downside of applying for these visas from outside the US is that you will be competing for these jobs with folks who have US degrees and/or are already living in the US. Some companies may consider it a hassle hiring someone who is outside the US when they have tons of similarly qualified people in the US.

The H1b application process can also be immensely difficult to navigate even when one is in the US, let alone outside the US. for example, the company will have to get a labor certification, then send your application to USCIS, then USCIS has to approve it, and then you apply for your visa at the embassy. That is why you don't have many stories of people getting these visas from Nigeria. Despite these challenges, some people have successfully obtained H1b and O1 visas while based in countries outside the US so you might be lucky.

Like everyone here has said in prior posts, google is your friend. Use google to search jobsites like indeed, monster jobs, zip recruiter, etc or professional organizations in your field to look for jobs that you qualify for and that also sponsor one of these visa types. Good luck!

It is literally the same process as applying from Nigeria. The only difference is that available dates are way earlier in the UK than they are in Nigeria.

Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help
