Congratulations bro. Maybe you should consider moving closer to Boston. Like Newton, Lynn or any of the cool suburbs. That way you don't have to drive long hours, just some few stops on the MBTA. The prestige of working in that city alone self is enough to add some extra chips to your shoulders. Lolz I lived in Boston/Cambridge as a postdoc at MIT and most of our Professors take the MBTA.

BlowJobs: I have been reading and enjoying your posts. Please what kinds of jobs do you apply for on indeed? We know naija degrees are useless here, so that kind of limit job searches to menial labor jobs. I really need your insights into this. |
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 10:01pm On May 05, 2018 |
yarlee: Naija degree useless? Nah bro. Naija degree is meant for you to build on. it isn't useless bro. No degree is useless once your school is accredited from the country the degree is from I have been applying for jobs i have experience in. Technician Jobs, Networking, Service technician, Comcast Tech. (those are the jobs i am really interested in for now) I however applied to all jobs Indeed suggested to me (from the experience i filled out). Fulfillment jobs, Logistics, Food service (from when i was on a Visa lol) etc etc. I just kept applying. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

Thanks. You are right about building on what you already have. I plan to do my licensure examination soon. Without that, I can't work her in my field. I really appreciate your reply. |

yarlee: That's what you gotta do. I have licensing exams to write to. Even at that, i still need to work and pay bills and car payments and savings. So, that degree isn't useless at all (even if na Political Science you study) as long as you can go for post grad studies or evaluate your degree to US equivalent. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

BlowJobs:...... Welcome to the real world my brother....your 'American dreams' starts now..the higher you go the tougher it becomes, Don't forget to come here to narrate your average monthly expenses.....rent,utilities,insurance (rental,health,car,life).car repairs and fueling,and all others. Am surprised you guys only got approved for just $150k in a state like MA despite your good credit....I guess it's because you still don't have long credit history. An average 4bdr duplex in Boston is within $400k and above. I will just advise you take it easy and don't rush in everything.plan ahead and you would be fine. Once again,congrats. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

BlowJobs:...... Most of the job interviews here are mostly centered around what you can offer and not where you have your certificate.have not seen anyone discriminated upon cos he has a degree outside of US. All you need is to keep brushing yourself up with latest skills and you should be fine. 6 Likes 1 Share |

SexyDuby:..... @SexyDuby, The OP or other people here are not the best people to ask this kind of questions especially the op situation was different from yours. Why don't you check out uscis Web page and learn more about the process or information you are looking for. |

SexyDuby:.... It's difficult for me to understand what exactly you wanna do as per getting married to your spouse based in the US. let me say this,K1 (fiance visa) process is almost same as the normal visitor visa (b1/b2) only that the interview usually appear more difficult as you have to prove beyond doubt you have a bona-fide relationship with your fiance but it's doable.I believe that's your best bet if you are thinking of getting married asap. Secondly,why not wait till he gets his passport and let him just file for you straightaway which also could take couples of months to finalise.I think your challenge here is the timeline. Also,why not relocate with your B1 visa and stay until you are free by law to marry him??. You have many options at your disposal with different timeline but same results but the K1 visa is still your best bet for now if waiting till he becomes citizen is like waiting till eternity. Choose wisely. |

@blowjobs thanks for this wonderful and inspiring thread, please can you tell me schools which I can apply for which allow its students work during holiday in Caribbean countries. Please bros I'm a graduate and I've not been able to secure a job for the past 1yr and 7months... Please bros help a brother. Thanks in advance as I await your response. |

SexyDuby: you might need to wait till he gets his citizenship. PR holders can not file adjustment of status for Alien relatives from inside the US (it take a longer as a PR petitioning for Spouse) if you decide to use your Tourist visa and stay behind, you'd have to wait anyways but the question might come up during your adjustment interview once your husband becomes citizen while you decide to stay. you need to figure a good answer to that. you can either wait till your Fiancee become a US citizen, go through the process of a fiancee petition or Overseas USC marriage or come to the US and prepare to start your life while waiting for your Hubby citizenship. If you choose the latter (which i will do if i were in your shoes), please don't rush to get married when you get here. Observe the 90 days rule. Start the process 4months after to be on the safer side. All the best either ways, you'll need to have enough patience to wait for the process. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

misterdeyley: Almost all countries in the caribbean does it, Easter Europe countries, Europe countries, Southern American countries (all countries with good diplomatic relations with the US) if you are a student in any of those regions, please check with the US embassy website of the country or check for sponsored organizations website African nations too does it, it just had seeing anyone coming directly from Nigeria. |

BlowJobs:Sorry for the late reply ,you know how busy everybody dey for this country.The first step is to decide what field you want the military to train you on i.e how to build houses,repair heavy duty vehicles or machineries etc there are hundreds of jobs they can train you on that can fetch you above 100k after your service (just search them on google and pick the one you like)The free college grant for your school and citizenship are sure bankers before you complete your service.The second step is to write and get good scores on asvab so that you get into your dream field you want the military to train you on.Read a book they call asvab for dummies. It will help you a lot.That exam resemble JAMB but not difficult like it so you will easily smash it.If you get low sores like 30 something the army will still take you but will assign you to a field you may or may not like .Don't allow your recruiter to rush you into taking the exam so that you can prepare well and get good scores and good field.After ASVAB ,your recruiter will drive you to MEPS office in the state capital where there screen you physically and medically for drugs,tattoo,vision and hearing test etc and if you pass they will give you a date for shipping to basic training. Army is very prestigious here as you get respected everywhere you go.If you apply for your parents to come here the visa na sharp sharp cos you're defending the country ,discount in shopping stores&car dealers, best medical care in the world for you and family,loan that can reach 100s of thousand for house,federal credit union loans etc too numerous to mention.You took the right decision to serve this free country which is the greatest democracy in the world.If you have any question, just feel free to pm me 30 Likes 5 Shares |
