MackyNaija: In addition, make sure you know what you're doing. Don't just travel abroad with hope of looking for or picking money on the street. It's not a rollacoaster down there but then you get the reward of hard work. SHALOM 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Man you are the real MVP. this thread is real interesting. I admire your spirit and how you respond to our people's questions. I have questions as well. Not sure if we should do pm or do it here. how did you get SSN when you first arrived yankee. i live in yankee at the moment,on F visa, down south.latinos don take all the menial jobs here. 1 Like |
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 4:44am On Oct 30, 2017 |
braginton60: I took my visa and my sevis plus some other work docs to Social security office. They gave me a confirmation page then sent the SSN to my address after like a week or 2. I think for a student on F1, it is the same steps.. you will need a job offer first. Use this link below as a guide or speak with your international student office. https://iss.washington.edu/employment/ssn/ By latinos, i believe you are refering to spanish speaking brown people. (Mexican, dominican etc). They can't take all thr jobs. Dem dey craze?. Why not make friends with one or two of them that seem sane. They have information the might ne willing to share with you. Also, you need to expand your search. Another factor that might affect your job search might be not having your own means of transport. Most jobs no matter how menial wants you to have a car plus drivers license. They just want to know you'll be able to show up on time. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

Story of my mexican friend. I met this mexican guy last year where i work. We bonded over our love for big butt ladies (guys can become friends about anything ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He got into trouble in LA. He doesn't wanna be deported so he ran to the East coast. He told me he is savingup enough money to sort himself out. He works like crazy. The hardest working person i have ever met. I haven't heard from him this year, last thing i know avout him was that he moved to a different state. Also, i didn't get too close, yes we are buddies but i don't know what he does when he's not at work. Make person no put me for trouble. ![]() 55 Likes 2 Shares |

abimbolar: Yes o. You need to use your head. This na yankee. Maybe he sells drugs part time if he's not working. Maybe, he is a rapist. I don't know. I don't plan on finding out. Some of the people i work with are drug addicts. Cocaine sniffing motherfuckers. If you see them working, you wonder where the energy comes from. Tell some of them to roll their sleeves, you see signs they are using drugs. I don't get too close to people. I remain friend but maintain my distance. I no want trouble. I have been using the same approach to keep ladies at bay. Like i say, even if you don't find a woman trouble, woman will find your trouble. And it doesn't always end well. As a black man, you are always guilty before proved innocent. What all these white women need to do is just cry and call 911 (state i live, na so so white people everywhere), you don enter am. Doesn't matter if na she offend you. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Nice one. trust me, i have read virtually every info about how to get SSN, just thought i was missing something. i know the normal route for international students is to get school employment first. Challenge is my school insists you should be in your second semester before you can be considered for school employment. I am an engineering student and the workload is pilling up. Yankee school no be joke. I got a car already because everywhere is far from everywhere. i have temporary permit and my driving test is in 2 weeks. Yankee bills no be here! I work with a Jamaican who fixes fire place. the job isnt regular, he pays cash. Once, twice a week. I have attended lots of interview but when it comes to time to do paperwork SSN becomes an issue. I don't have issue networking,my roommate is Latino.we be padi.it was trough him i knew that latinos like themselves like hausa people.Trust me they are many here. all those people that cross the border illegally,this is like the most attractive city for them. I cant use someone's SSN for job its against everything i stand for. I have lived in UK, to get NI (SSN equivalent) wasn't difficult. though the jobs there are limited and you could work outside school. I know these things take time, I am keen to hit the ground running. I want dey make money like you ![]() 13 Likes |
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 5:42am On Oct 30, 2017 |
braginton60: Something will show up soon bro. I understand how it feels running out of money and needing work. However, being persistent is key. Don't stop applying. For cash jobs, i find craiglist to be very good search place. Most of the time, the work involves labor or someone moving something or someone needing to mow their lawn or someone needing a temp worker for the day. You do the work, get your pay and wait for the next one. Widen your search, filter out the spam. You'll definitely get something. I think (not sure) that international student office gives priority to student facing hardship from home. Mayne you can claim that so they give you a letter for your SSN. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

At Op please your Honest review about this thread www.nairaland.com/4144074/lies-nigerians-living-america and this saying The funniest and most expensive joke I have heard from Nigerians doing menial jobs in the US. and earning between $1,500- $2,000, is claiming that they are richer than bank managers in Nigeria. I guess they make their money in America while spending it in Nigeria. This stupid joke need to stop. A Nigerian doing menial job in the US. at best can be compare to someone receiving 80,000 Monthly in Nigeria in purchasing power. A Nigerian doing odd jobs for 10 yrs will still be paying rent while a 10 yrs bank manager would have long built two to three houses with a lucrative investment. Nigerians in America need to stop converting currencies because it is clearly stated that if you earn $12,000 annually in America you are living in poverty thanks 3 Likes |

When you say 2 year visa to work at a factory, what visa are you referring to? I hope not 2 year B1/B2 visa? I will be suprised if a factory paying $15 can sponsor you for an L1 or H1 work visa. Regarding permanent residence your employer will have to sponsor you for a green card so if you have a work visa e.g. L1 or H1 visa, you should discuss agree if/when they will start the green card processing as it can take up to 2 years. The other option is via marriage or if you are in a position to invest I think up to $1m (I may be wrong on the amount) jimikata: |

He pays $80 cash every day. We work from 8am to 12pm most times. sometimes even 11am. If the job for the day is far away, driving and traffic might extend it to 1/2 pm. most jobs take 30mins-1hr:30mins to complete |
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 11:04pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
Guy M bought a new truck. Says it cost him Like 53,000$. He told me he did that to avoid the taxes. The truck is listed as new work equipment so he can write it off as taxes. (still don't understand the tax code yet). I think it is part of the reason he pays cash. to avoid taxes. 10 Likes

Today's work was somewhere in boston. The traffic was horrible (back and forth). we spent total of around 3 hours in traffic. The tanks were 4 in the same building. The jobs is the same. We check for oil,pump out the remaining oil into our tank, Guy R cuts the tank open (Guy M came with us today. I don't like when he comes around cos he talks a lot), Guy R and/or myself cleans out the Sludge, Guy R cuts it into small pieces. I bring it to the truck, We drive to the junk yard. drive back to Guy M's place. get paid and leave for the next day. Simple 4 Likes
