Babyvet: Where were you born? Just curious. I don't doubt you help people like her, so do I; but I can never say to someone "I understand" if I'm not currently in their shoes. In fact, I know someone worse off than her, and he just got his permanent residency. My advise to her is based on personal experience. |

Babyvet: Exactly. She wouldn't qualify for any immigration program unless she had a spouse in one of those countries, and they're ready to sponsor her and her kids. Where were you born ? |

maternal: I was not born in the us, so I have been through the immigration system here and know the system very well. I have sat down and researched it myself. You are based in Canada, the Us is different when it comes to immigration. We have a serious immigration problem and its affecting everybody. |

pacificman: pacific man, please keep your frustration to yourself, you are very ignorant person and uncivilized person. You have not left the shores of Nigeria and you want to to tell me about immigration. You are whats wrong with Nigeria , ignorant government and people. Nigerians also need to take responsbility, of why the country is bad. 4 Likes |

Babyvet: Where were you born ? You're proving my point. With a tiny population in Canada (37 million), a pro immigration prime minister, sanctuary cities, different immigration programs she can apply for, etc, why she's wasting her time in a country (U.S) that has an immigration program, with a clearly racists and anti- immigration President/administration is beyond me. 1 Like |

maternal: What point? I think there is a mis understanding , you may be confusing my posts with somebody else. I repeatedly suggested that the op not remain the US without her papers. I even at one point suggest Canada through the skilled workers program but that was shut down by other posters because the op has been working here illegally. But the op does not want to relocate anyway at this point. |

justwise:But it is the headquarters of poverty in the world, and every indices of a failed state is in Nigeria, countries like Somali, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and South Sudan which are having serious security and political problems are sometimes lumped together by different international organizations when classifying countries that are doing well and those at the bottom of the ladder, only few elites connected to the rogues in power are smiling in Nigeria, the majority of people in Nigeria are going through serious economic challenges despite the natural resources available which is in the hands of few rogues 1 Like |

Babyvet: Which country do you want op to go to that will give her immediate legal status? Like i said earlier, majority of immigrants here today came in with just visiting visa. The 1st few years may be rough but it worth it at the long run most especially when kids are involved. Hypocrite will tell you to leave whereas they all find way to legalized their status. You can move to place like Chicago, Houston or New York. Work hard, save enough money, try to find a way to legalize your status and worse case scenario you get deported. By then you have enough money to start afresh when you get back to naija. Please never go back home without exploring all available option. Do not allow your village people to win this battle. US sweet gan unless you belong to middle/upper class level in naija. 12 Likes |

Bishopp007: Majority with visiting visa? Please provide links before making such blanket statement. In what they did legalize their stay? Her options to legalization in this country are very limited since has overstayed for 4 years. Even the op has mentioned that herself. Please stop with this village talk nonsense. 1 Like |

maternal:Please don't. There are many people, legal residents of advanced countries, that have moved back to Nigeria and loving it. People are different and react differently in certain situations. I also know many people in Nigeria with the skills and means to migrate to the west but have chosen to remain. 2 Likes |

Bishopp007: No its not worth it. Read this article about who immigrated from South Korea as child with parents to America legally via work sponsorship. The work sponsorship did not pan out well and eventually they all lost their status. His parents returned to South Korea while eventually he became daca beneficiary. Due to all the limitations of daca and bunch of other issues, he moved to Canada as a legal immigrant. https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2018/02/9e349338dd61-feature-korean-daca-recipient-saw-life-uprooted-in-move-to-canada.html |

[quote author=Itiswellblessed post=73188717] I can't imagine how frustrated it can be for you at the moment but don't be too rash in rushing back to Nigeria, not after 4 years out there. I would advice you find possible ways to raise funds, (start a vlog) , (home cooked naija meals, if you can get the raw and cash in on the 9ja community), (try to associate with a few Nigerians over there, possibly from ur church or so who knows u'd meet ur helper). You'll need to explore ur bizness acumen (self-discipline). But please do not hastily return to Nigeria in ur current financial situation - ur kids are in a free school at moment and benefit free health which u cannot find in Nigeria (pry school and sec school fees is expensive o) and you'll take a while to adjust back to Nigeria (I've been there) and don't be 100% sure about the family. * Its a different thing when you are not depending solely on them*(make them kno distribute ur kids among themselves in the name of helping you) Pls save as much as you can, explore different moneymaking options (thank God there is good internet and electricity in US) then you weigh out your options (relocating to another country or Nigeria). above all, you hold the key to ur destiny, draw out a plan, explore ideas. All the best and Gods speed.! 4 Likes |

sassysure: I visit Nigeria yearly and i have many family members doing far better than me who are making a decent living in Nigeria, they travel out only for work and go back. Millions of people are still living in Nigeria and thousands of foreigners are working and living there.
