WOW brother, Thank you for your input. I am nervous. i really am. i can't stop thinking about the interview. My wife isn't taking it serious like i am. She has no worries she has never applied for any visa in her entire life so she really don't understand what a green card interview can be like. she just kept saying don't worry. i'll copy and save this your experience somewhere with other people's experiences too, print them out and make a folder for my wife to read.

Maybe i am just overthinking but i am taking this too serious, 150% serious.

once again, thanks

Its a good thing that you are taking it seriously but to be honest you have nothing to be nervous about. You are married for real and you and wifey live together so you are good to go. I will post tips for the Green Card interview in a latter post. Have you gotten your EAD card yet?

Mehn, Uber dey my eyes too as part time for weekend but I think I want to put my certificate to work.

bro, I personally appreciated your educative post av really meant a lot; if you don't mind me taking you a little back to your earliest post about how d journey started. I have just 3 questions to ask.
1. Did you pay on arrival to your school (I.e d undergraduate program you initially went for)
2. Your posts made me understood you had to struggle to go schooling in Caribbean how did you cope with meeting your needs or them they send you money fr Naija time to time.
3. If your switch to a graduate program didn't go as planned was in till possible you were gonna be qualified for the holiday work in yankee??
I will be very grateful if you can give me questions some considerations. God bless

To be brutally honest with you,going through this thread wasn't only helpful,the optimism and drive to pursue my goals was rekindled. Some of the stories shared only affirms that it won't be easy but,with the right and determined mindset,they are achievable.

My name is Ade and I recently completed the National Youth Service Programme. Tentatively,Nigeria isn't the right place to develop myself and unlike most Christians,I don't have enough faith to wait for that political change we have longed desired.


I studied Philosophy and finished with a CGPA of 3.75,working with the Nigeria police force was a deciding factor when I chose to study philosophy with the aim of taking a master degree in criminology and security studies to boost my cv. My brother,as it stands,I cannot work with the Nigeria police force for some personal reasons which I only realised very recently. Maybe in the nearest future,but for now,I can't.

Relocating to the United States is perhaps the dream of virtually every Nigerians. I finally came to the conclusion that I must leave Nigeria,tentatively though. If this must be achievable,what are the "right" steps to take.


Any channel deemed pragmatic is also acceptable. Every possible means no matter how rigorous is also acceptable.

Dear @Blowjobs, Thank you very much for this thread, you have done a yeoman's job. Any positives I have to say about you or the thread would just be a reiteration of what a vast majority of the folks here have already pointed out.

I started reading the thread from page 0 just 2 days ago and I found it so informative and interesting, that I could not stop or skip any page till I got to the last page (79 at the moment). I need your help, I would be really grateful if you can answer a question. A couple of people asked already on the thread and you declined to answer, and I totally understand your choice to be discreet. I'm currently studying for my Masters in Germany and I wanna help a close kin travel out of Nigeria to study. Your thread opened my eyes to the idea of the person studying in the Caribbeans. I sent you a pm, kindly reply so i can ask the few questions I need to ask, I promise I wont take a lot of your time. All the best with your AOS and everything else man.


hi acedboss,
sorry to bother you bro but I'd like to ask how you're finding Germany.
see, I'm thinking of going to Germany myself and maybe crossing over to Canada after the masters. what do you make of that?
thanks in advance

Hello house, I need your candid advise please.
I am a graduate with a B.sc in Biochemistry, I'm currently serving and would be through with my service by April. I intend taking the SAT Exam by August.
The reason for this is because I came out with a very low gpa of 2.07 and therefore no school accepts such gpa in the USA , I intend going for B.sc in Nursing.
Here's my question

1). Since i have a B.sc already would this stop me from going to study another B.sc in Nursing?
2). I hope the VO's won't see this as an issue?
3). Should I just apply as a freshman and not tell them I have a degree b4 ?
I would be happy to get enlightened on this

Yes, you can certainly change to IT. It's very important to know yourself and determine what you like doing. Do you like problem solving/mathematics? If, so then programming is something you can go into. Otherwise, there are other areas of IT you can delve into. Be it networking, Business Analyst, Database Admin, or even and IT project manager (PM). For PM your degree in BA will come in handy.

Honestly, if you hate math, I will not advice you to go into computer programming. It's very unlikely that you will survive doing it. Do NOT go into a specific field because you heard it pays well. Do it because it's what you like doing.


Good day sir. I have a B.A. in English Language and Literary Studies and I am currently a serving corps member. I would like to switch to IT but, to be honest with you, I hate and don't know math. I have thought about getting a CCNA routing and switching certification; do you think I can be able to achieve that even with my math deficiency[dyscalculia]? I will be greatful, if there is another field in It you can recommend.

1) NO. I however, had to be registered (at least for a course) to process my Study permit and also stay on hall of residence (on campus accommodation)

2) It was hard bro. I depleted mt funds in like 2 weeks. i had like $350USD. I depend on 100$ every 2 weeks from naija until my brain (hunger grin) signaled to me i need a job

3) Yes, i will still be. i had a good gpa and i am a registered student

What i would have done differently: I would have registered to get my Study permit and Deregister right after it was issued. Apply to some less expensive college and probably study Nursing/Nursing Assistance (1 year prog) or learn Spanish/french/Japanese/Chinese While i put in my application for a graduate school. for the next academic session.

That would have saved me a lot of money

I think you need to do a WES evaluation of your result. Even though it looks low 2.07. I am sure once the evaluation is complete, it should be around 2.5/2.53 on a US scale. That can get you at least a conditional graduate admission. Maybe not the field you are looking into but it is something you want to look into

You already have a degree, don't fail yourself before you even try.

Hello Mouth Gig

Hypothetically,if I were to apply for a program in one of these Caribbean countries,which course would you have advised I applied for?

Secondly,if I were to apply for nursing knowing fully well that my degree in philosophy isn't related to the aforementioned.

What are my chances of getting a visa for a one year programme in nursing at a carribean college/university.

Ok kindly attend to my questions separately from the former.

Ok kindly attend to my questions separately from the former.

Nursing program is VERY competitive not necessarily hard to be admitted in Most Caribbean countries. A lot of times, you'll need to have a Face-to-face interview. I'd suggest if you have nursing in Mind, apply for Nursing as a 2nd option. You can easily follow up your Nursing application if you come in using another program.

I applied for someone recently (who is a nurse in Nigeria from Nursing school). I applied directly into Nursing degree while i helped him submit the necessary paperwork at the Nursing council to get his Nursing License. The idea is to come in as a Student with the hope that his Nursing license will be ready. He can then use the license to look for work through the ministry of Health (Min of Health will process his work permit as long as he has a valid license).

He can then switch his nursing program to part time and work full time. We applied for Nursing Degree, the school want us to switch to Post RN nursing which will take him 2 years to complete (it is a program for Nurses who already have a diploma). The issue was that Post RN nursing is an online program and he won't be able to use is to apply for visa.

Long story short, his nursing application was denied cos he can't attend an interview. Now we are trying again this year but he hasn't shown much enthusiasm like last year.

The general idea was for him to come to the Caribbean as a Nurse, gain a year or 2 experience and either move on to Canada or UK Via work visa (which is easier from here)

Hello Bro, Germany isnt bad at all. I can't complain tbh. It is also comparatively cheaper to come here to study rather than going to the US, Canada, UK or Australia, except of course if you get a scholarship to study in either of the other countries I mentioned. I wouldn't want to derail this awesome thread so please take a look at the German student visa thread here https://www.nairaland.com/3941544/general-german-student-visa-enquiries . It is a goldmine of information, and be rest assured that every possible question you might have have already been asked and answered therein.
