my boss left his 500k and relocated. not even U.S. sef, ordinary Canada.

iykedare:


Is 75k a good salary?
There is something called risk. Her decision now could better her future. Its even better if she goes there to school so she can fit into their job market.

A colleague of mine will leave his 300k job to do his masters and live there. Its a huge risk. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Alcatraz001:
@ Op please don't mind this people who are advising you to stay baack in Nigeria oooo, they are not happy for you.

Please ask your self if you see hope in this Country? How much is 75k? Please take this opportunity with both hands,before you know it you would start a job after getting the papers in the US. I want you to think about the quality of Life that the US offers and not the slave wages being paid in Nigeria. Nigeria jst survived a Civil War by whiskers because God intervened through the US and Britain but there is still tension in the Air.

Just sit down and think about all you have to gain by moving to a more developed and stable country.

May God give you the wisdom to make a good decision.

We cannot advise you with the insufficient information you've provided.

1) what type of visa are you applying for? If it's visiting, you're entitled to a 6months visa that has no cap/restriction on your movement in the country within the six months.
You have to stay within the limit of your visa though, which is to visit/holiday,meaning you are not entitled to a paid employment .

2) How does your sister intend getting the so called papers for you after 6months?
To my best understanding-though I'm not in the states but I guess the immigration law is similar to the United Kingdom's.
You could never upgrade a visiting visa to a stay within 6months- matter of fact - you couldn't upgrade a visiting visa .
The best you can get is to become an illegal immigrant and trust me, I don't think it's a life you want to subject yourself to.You're basically going to be living like a prisoner.

Ask your sister these questions- what are her plans for you?- real and cogent plans .Are they feasible?
If they aren't or would subject you to being illegal ,it's not worth it one bit!

I see a lot of people here that get so excited about the prospect of going to western countries that they don't give it any deep thought or have a concrete plan and 10 years down the lane,they are still doing odd jobs and living in constant fear of deportation.
That life is no life!

Alexisu:


Abeg link me up with dat ur current job wen u ar leaving.
Thanks in anticipation and success too

Danfo:
@OP,

First, the amount you are currently earning is really not much in comparison to your earning potential in the US i.e 75,000 Naira is less than $400 a month. In the US you can earn more than that in a week alone, if you are not lazy. So from the earning perspective US is certainly appealing.

In terms of education and training for your career and personal development, the US will advance you exponentially in a shorter time and with less frustration, if you are a determined and focused person.

So no argument, US is a better location than Nigeria; at least for the above reasons.

However, in order to function and get the best of the US your need your presence in the country to be regulated; otherwise you will regret ever leaving Nigeria.

These are the practical questions you need to ask:
• Is your sister living in the US legally?
• What type of a lifestyle is she living? Is she married? Have kids? Working or on State Benefit?
• What type of permit is she planning to get you, and what is the certainty that it will be successful?
• Are you planning to leave Nigeria on a visa bearing your name and legally issued visa?
• Regularisation of your stay has to be done before your visa expire, so why do you need to HIDE, at least before the visa expires?
• Under the scenario of 'hiding' what are you supposed to be doing in-doors for 6 months?


Your sister is the best person to direct the questions to. Afterwards do your due diligence based upon her responses. If you cannot find satisfactory answers to the above survival’s questions then I will advise you to romantically hug and kiss your 75,000 Naira job until GOD open up better opportunities for you in the future.

Take care and may GOD guide you into the right path for your life.

WHHHAAATTTT?? i never ceased to be amazed @ the level of bull sh1t nNigerians can spew?!!! its mind boggling that some peeps here are even telling u that you have a good job?!!!!! and from your response it sounds like you believe that?!!!!!!!!!

Wow Nigerians and self deceit sha??
aNYWAYS LET ME BE FRANK AS USUAL!! FIRSTLY YOU ARE AN INGRATE!!! YOU EVEN HAVE SOMEONE WILLING TO SPEND HER HARD EARNED MONEY TO TAKE YOUR LAZY UNGRATEFULL SELF TO USA and YOU ARE HERE ASKING HER INTENTIONS? because you are clearly still living with your family thats why you think you have a good job!!

If you where paying rent and feeding yourself you would know your job is nonsense!!! i dont think you realize your reality yet, you even have money to subscribe for internet to type this nonsense here because you are not feeding yourself!!!

Let me break it down for you!! Until Nigeria gets better you are one of the lucky few who has an opportunity to get out of here, and if what it takes is 6 months living indoors and your sister feeding your hungry ungrateful self then so be it!!! some even are praying for an opportunity to stay for 1 year if at the end they get their papers!!!!

I call bullsh1t!! this is a fake story!!! i dont think any one can be so clueless unless their name is GEJ!!!

She will pay for your travel expenses, feed you for 6 months, assist in getting your papers and you are here asking what? THIS IS A FAKE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drabeey:
She said she would help me travel to the States but she would keep me indoors in her house for 6 months pending when my papers allowing me to move around the US would be ready.

I'm already receiving 75,000 naira per month here in Nigeria and still single.

Please is there any advise from the house?

CityNG:


If you're truly making that money in Nigetia then you'll be a complete dunce to abandon that for the US.

Trust me on that. I've been here since 86 btw.

Justfollowit:


For your future sake, do not mind Nairalanders unless if they are living or has lived outside Nigeria.

It sounds easy but it is not. Please do not take that risk at all. Personally, I think your sister wants a babysitter, I can't possibly imagine an illegal immigrant becoming a legal immigrant miraculously after 6 months. Please, Think it through fro your own sake.

eyinjuege:


The sister can get an arrangee marriage for the OP. There really are a few ways of getting around the system

Drabeey:
Guys getting down there and wait for 6 months isn't my problem, but im afraid of what i might lose if this doesn't work out as envisaged. Believe me,i would still have to spend the fortune I've saved with the peanut im earning on the traveling expenses.and that is the problem i have with the whole thing. pls guys, i need real advise as this is going down pretty soon..............OP

Wow! Why do we still have illegal.immigrants if it was that easy.

justwise:


you know some people here can talk but can't support it with evidence

normaljenny:
MY BROTHER SIX MONTHS IS NOTHING AND 75K IS NOTHING AND THE JOB YOU ARE DOING IS NOT EVEN SECURITY GUARRANTEED. YOU ARE EVEN SINGLE AND NO RESPONSIBILITY IN UR HANDS EXCEPT BEER MONEY, RECHARGING UR MB BUNDLE AND ALL THAT. AND I BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT PAYING UR HOUSE RENTS HERE IN NAIJA. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST TO RUN A FAMILY PER WEEK? 75K IS BISCUIT MONEY. MY BROTHER FORGET ALL THOSE ABOVE ADVISING YOU TO STAY PUT IN NIGERIA. I EARN MORE THAN YOU DO AND AM WORKING ON GETTING TO THE STATES TO STAY.

BRO. YOU DEY MAD O. NO EVEN THINK AM AT ALL. YOUR SISTER WISHES WELL FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE EVEN SMART ENOUGH WHILE AT HOME YOU CAN FIND FEW LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES ONLINE AND BE TAKING IN FEW CHANGES.

USE YOUR TONGUE COUNT YOUR TEETH.

WETIN BE 75K

Lucasbalo:
It's laughable to tell someone making 70.000 Naira to stay in Nigeria if he has the opportunity to advance himself ?. How much is 75 thousand Naira?. I have been here in Chicago for a long time too and I am surprised at your post. I guess to each his own.

A host of reasons. Some are not the right age, some don't have the money to make such arrangements, and hey some do genuinely fall in love and voila their papers are ready.

Justfollowit:


Sounds so simple...uhm

Have you lived a considerable part of your life in US before? I suggest you stop misinform the poor boy, let those who actually live there explain his options to him.
