Seriously It's pointless, why can't everyone stick to C...

hi Blowj, am in the UK during my Masters i will want to apply for the summer jobs, please can i get full disclosure and the application process. thank you.

And also if you're seeking internships, look into the internship programs too. They are longer visa validity (6months to 2 years). You should be able to get internship from the UK.

Whether F or C ....the degree of hot or cold remains the same. Its all about the metric system the country decides to adopt. I hated F back in school for Physics. To convert from F to C, deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 (C = (F-32)*5/9) and from C to F multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 (F = (C*9/5) + 32 grin ...too much calculations shei? Stick to your C jaaaare. Happy Sunday. God is with you.


I hated F. I have conditioned my mind to water freezong at 0degreesC and boiling at 100degreesC. That's how i judge what the weather is like. F doesn't make mich sense to me.

Happy sunday to you too and thank you.

You cannot stick to C while living in countries that measure with F,though the weather conditions still remain same but you will ended up confusing yourself and confuse other people around you in the long run.there's much difference in the figures BTW F and C...

Am very sure your wifey has a F setup in her phone and already conditioned her mind around that,think about when she ask you about weather reports and you give her the report in C..I can only imagine her guess.

Thank you bro.

There has always been anti immigration sentiments. it has however been crazy the past 2 years (with DACA and Visa lottery, chain immigration etc)

People have always been denied their green card application during interview. it has nothing to do with the heightened anti immigration sentiments. There are several factors involved. Like i said, i don't know how people that do "arrangee marriage" get through. The whole process is hard enough for genuine couples. So imagine how hard it is for people trying to pass as genuine. they can ask any question, ridiculous questions that only couples will know.

So, to everyone trying "arrangee". I am not for or against you, i do however want to let you know that you have a lot to loose. and i wish you what you wish yourself.

look at the example of what they ask and you will see why they will get any arrangee couples
Yes you are right ,it is usually frustrating when you have genuine marriage and they keep asking questions as if you did arrangee .I am also glad that you have already prepared ahead on what to expect,and also assume that you know about the 30,60 and 90 days rule for AOS.I believe your whole process will work out fine

I agree with you but it takes time getting used to. The same way you feel it would confuse other people is the same way, you will be confused the first time. seeing a temperature of 20F you will feel its the 20C you're used not knowing its a different game all together undecided

Update

You know I told you I went for a diagnostic scan on my car and the autoplace gave me this below

code p1273 and code p1444 and the workshop recommended the following to be changed

RR Valve Cover Gasket $35
02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 $198.89
Bank 1 exhaust Manifold $349.89
Exhaust Gaskets to drop exhast pipe $45

He the charged me 1000$ for repairs making the whole price to be above $1600



So I posted my issue on a car forum and a specialist replied me. He said the following:

The 02 Sensor on RockAuto is $40.. That's a HELL of a mark up. Unless that is the cost to replace it too. And the Manifold is only $120, Again I am assuming those prices do NOT reflect installation. And the Valve cover Gasket is $5...

So either you buy all these parts and pay to get them installed or you do it yourself


Now compare the prices.

Yes, snow are heavy when filled in bags. its just like bag of garri.

from my personal experience without consulting google. Snow is frozen rain but so light it falls from the sky like feather. You know that Ice that easily dissolves when you touch the inner part of your freezer, that is exactly what we have falling from the sky.
The problem is that the temperature is so cold that when they fall, they don't easily melt. They accumulate.

Just like we have heavy rainfall in Nigeria (between June to End of september/october), you know the rain that starts slowly (not heavy) and won't stop for days, that is the bad part about the snow. They accumulate everywhere and cars cannot easily pass and it also reduces visibility.

The other bad thing about it is that Days after a snow fall, temperature increases and the snow melts. Then, temperature drops and the melting snow fuses together and become ice. Now, ice is more dangerous that snow cos you'll definitely fall walking on ice and cars will skid off the road driving on ice. Also, it is harder to get rid of the snow when they turn to ice.

you know what happens when you touch a hot object like "hotplate", same thing happen when you touch a really cold object (especially metal like Ratchet used for changing tyres left outside in the cold), it gets so cold, it will burn your skin.

The only good thing i have seen about winter is the first snow, everyone is happy and then the pictures you take are so beautiful no matter how ugly you look grin. Everybody hates WINTER. i've never seen someone that liked it.

ps: it gets so cold that your fingers are toes start burning to a stage while you can no longer feel them and then advance to where you can't bend your fingers. you can literally freeze to death within an hour.

If you have a fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend that is a US citizen and it is looking promising and really serious, I think you both should look into the form I-130 (I-130, Petition for Alien Relative - USCIS)

He/ she can file a petition for you and when the petition is approved (usually takes between 2-5months), you can go to the US embassy or consulate close to you to get a K1 visa which allows you to come to the US and finish the other process of becoming a permanent resident here in the US.

it is a straightforward process.

anyone that is connected to the US through relationship to a USC can look into this. it is 2018 people!!!

Nice one. I actually forgot to refer you to car owners forum to post the issue to. Good you did and got the prices, next is for you to go back online to search for those replacements ...might be cheaper than you thought.

I still believe you need to buy the scanner itself and rescan your car your self. The issue reported might not be accurate judging from the inflated costs he gave you.

Yes, the category will be "Married family of a USC"

According to US immigration, relative includes parents, siblings (direct brothers and sisters)

I have to tell you though. For Married siblings, it is a painstaking long process, it can take over 10 years before priority date becomes current.

yeah, it was exactly like this.

guy R was running after me shouting my name "Chucks, chucks.."

guy M was shocked i told him to F off. He was dazed and tried to get himself together grin

and here i am few days later still working with them.

guy M was too stubborn to call me back and apologize.
i was acting too stubborn to call him back that i still need the job (it's not like i can work anywhere else for now anyways grin)

guy R was mad at guy M and was blaming him for letting an awesome worker they have ever had go. he probably told him he will stop working if i don't come back.

so, guy R called me. apologized to me, tell me not to listen to guy M again and talked about how ignorant and self centered he can be. say i should deal with him directly for now. told me to come to work the next day. I replied that i will think about it ( i don't wanna be too desperate and sound like my life depends on the job)
The next day, i showed up and guy M has been exceptionally nice to me since then. grin grin. He is still the boss, however, i don't really deal with him anymore. he can be annoying

Direct relation of a USC ( parents and siblings)

Investor category (E2b or somthing like that)

Those are the ones i am aware of

Hello uncle BJ.

Just bumped into this thread yesterday and i must confess it's content filled, for most of us without a silver spoon, the hustle is what we are called out for.

Please i have few questions i will like to ask, have read this thread from start to finish like my life depends on it, but then, you are the the boss here.

Can one get interns placement as nigerian and from nigeria?

The summer work time for nigeria from the table you shared is from june-oct, must this time frame be followed considering the inconsistency in our education system.

What do you think about the AU pair category in the j1 visa? Is it viable and possible especially for people from nigeria.

Does one need school i.d or transcript to apply for the summer work category, cause this is my final year in a nigeria uni and the calender is so tight, no holiday till we graduate by august ( by God's grace)

Also, apart from flight and visa application fees, can you state an amount needed to maintain oneself till one starts work.

Also, for the summer ish, how does one get accommodation?

Sorry if i am asking too many questions but i was actually at the verge of canadian skilled Lab. Stuff before now and i think i should run one or two stuff here before i finally go there if i get approved.

This is cause from all you have said here, it seems getting a permanent residence permit is very difficult in US, i think canada will be better but their weather is something i think about alot.

Thanks as i await your response!!
