justwise:


That is cheap, the U.K takes £1236 from you.

CFCman:

The German anecdote is interesting. Maybe the German authorities want to ensure that such Germans aren't double-agents lol.

For the Brits, it will be like a 'downgrade' for them to seek the citizenship of their former colony. It's akin to a Brit seeking Nigerian citizenship

EgunMogaji:


Because many have pride. Not everyone is from impoverished countries.

CFCman:

That is super expensive

Prepared small stew and rice. Here are some of the ingredients used for the stew

For LPRs, it is actually 5yrs to citizenship not 4
If married to USC, it is 3 yrs.

you are right bro.
I know some people here who will not even embrace the chance to have a green card.
Green cards require you spend most of your time in the USA, a condition they are not willing to comply with.

So they'll rather use their Dropbox service jeje.

CFCman:


I don't know why some people decline to not apply for citizenship.
I had a British classmate in college whose parents had been living here for over 15 years as Permanent Residents, but not wanting to become citizens. She told me that her parents do not want to lose their 'Britishness'

My ex In Laws kept their LPR for decades in the US until they both passed. The kids were bastards though for burying them both in the US instead of UK like they wanted.

Ugosample:



Britishness gbakwu okwu (if you are Igbo you will know what this means )

I wish I could get a second passport tho, because the Nigerian passport that I use to travel, I know wetin I dey suffer with am

Anyways it's all fine tho.

edwife:


First of all congratulation and i am so loving your posts. May you find success in your new found world and may you excel there.

Bossman:


Congrats! Yep, nothing is stopping you now. It's all on the amount of hard work you can put in. As I have already posted, this is the land of opportunity that rewards hard work and education accordingly. You do not need to know anyone to get ahead in life. Just work hard and do the right thing.

FrankNetter:


You know this

FrankNetter:


Lol. Isn't it funny how you just hate on someone you haven't even met before. See how stupid you sound?

You're here, on this thread, looking for pictures but at the same time, showcasing your stupidity everywhere.

You saw the title of the thread, clicked on it, read through till this present page and came to the conclusion that I am the cause this thread was derailed? You are a special kind of stupid.

I never said I'm the first to travel abroad, neither will I be the last.The joke is on you right now, I'm presently having the time of my life in the United States of America! you on the other hand are hating from the confines of the shackles of your mental slavery.

The beauty of this thread is: I'm enjoying myself in the UNITED STATES OF FVCKING AMERICA; I will post what I like, and there's nothing you can do about that.

sirRiddy:
This your rice soft so?

FrankNetter:
Good news guys, my permanent residency card just arrived in the mail.

Happiness is too mild an adjective to describe how I feel right now,



Do you know what this entails?

This means the level of success I would attain in this country is directly proportional to the level of hardwork I put in. Nothing can dampen my enthusiasm for life at this moment. The sky is not just my limit, it's my stepping stone.

Application fee for US Citizenship is:

N–400 Application for Naturalization2 $640

plus

Biometric Services Fee $85

Total - $725

Of course, if you had conditional LPR then you would have had to remove conditions after 2 years which is - $680

Welcome to America, land of the FREE, we accept Visa and Mastercard and oh yeah American Express but not Discover (they are communists)

Bro am still a novice and am curious too,have been reading silently, does this work for those who migrate through student visa, i want to migrate very soon to USA, but am wondering if its possible for me to live permanently over there after my education, like say masters programme. thanks

EgunMogaji:


Of you can. You can always change your status based on:

Employment: Trust me, if you happen to discover the cure for cancer or aids, Trump himself will personally come to your house to give you green card.

Family: If you happen to fall in love and marry a citizen, then you're good to go but expect USCIS to vet you properly.

Business: Not sure of the current threshold, but if you open or buy a business of a certain amount (was $500,000) and employ a number of US citizens (was 2) then you're good to go. Not sure why many Nigerians don't do this. I've met many other Africans that did this but never a Nigerian.

Assylum: Not sure that any Nigerian qualified for this.

My advice is to get the best grade that you can.

Good luck.

vickertony:
what of through student visa, eg how come op got permanent residence so soon am just curious bro, i read somewhere in Canada thread, you can apply for pr after you graduate..... isn't applicable to usa!? the above recommendations is really tough for a student moving from Nigeria, you know how it is over here.

MISTAICEY02288:


Yea it is possible... You process it and you would be issued a green card later. Have some close relatives that came through student visas too and all havee their green cards already and some of them have gotten citizenship while some are still waitin to get their citizenship. Im here on a student visa too and I'm about to start processing my green card too.

FrankNetter:
Good news guys, my permanent residency card just arrived in the mail.

EgunMogaji:


You can get citizenship in 1 year via military service, many Nigerians that came in under visa waiver went into military for this. There's at least 3 Nairalanders that I know.

Originalsly:
Hmmm..... Green Card in the mail...from the Post Office.... and I guess later your Citizenship Certificate and later your US Passport will all arrive in the mail. Can you imagine when NIPOST would ehmmm
....let me shut up! Congrats!

sledjama:

then they have to serve for a minimum of 5 years or have the citizenship revoked.
the only benefit here is getting the citizenship quickly and well, other military perks

CFCman:

Exactly
I also received my passport 3 weeks after I applied for it at the....post office
