This is the kind of comment I have been waiting for. Thanks bro. I applied for asylum. Hired a lawyer who helped me with the asylum application. She is so good. Entered USA on 26th March, 2018, Applied for asylum in JUly 2018, Biometrics in early September 2018, Interview late September 2018, they said result of my interview will be out in 2 weeks. I waited till January 2019. Saw it in my mailbox. It was granted. I screamed so loud. I have received my social security card, gotten my state id, gotten my work permit, applied for college to start nursing program this summer, my church here is assisting with scholarship. On 14th January of next year i will be eligible to apply for green card and receive it in my mailbox within a month. Once i get it i'll pause college and join US national guard. One thing with Nigerians is they are so quick to call someone a liar. This is a public forum, I dont know any of you here so why will i lie to strangers? See how this young man congratulated me and I took my time to explain to him. The othjer person called me liar pants on fire telling me to post proof. I should go and snap my USCIS letter and show to you because you are an immigration officer. I could have started raining abuses on you but as an American(Pennsylvanian to be precise), I will never stoop so low.

Well, this is very unusual. Asylum takes to long that it is currently taking up to two years, but congratulations to you on your unique case!

It is very possible he got his approval within the said timeline.From recent findings uscis attend to most new amd recent applications,(Fifo) even for marriage based applications. Also the state he applied in might also be a huge factor to why his asylum application was fast.(There might be few asylum based applications in his states and the USCIS office can process his application within the said time line.you cant compare say Dallas or Houston where green card /asylum applications take like forever because the whole of Nigerians live there and applying for green card at the same time ,which means the USCIS office has bulk applications to process and most times end up with a backlog of applications
And I must confess his laywer is very good and his basis/reason for asylum seeking must be Top notch.congrats once again johnpoko

Since I have been here, i have met two american ladies and seriously i wasnt used to all these kind of life. I wouldnt blame all our Nigerian ladies that do watch Nollywood and want all these romantic guys opening car door for them, breakfast in bed etc lol. grin

I met one wonderful lady and we have been going well until she asked that powerful question. She asked that do you eat pvssy? I sd No!. The next thing was "You are a nice guy but i dont think i can marry you since you cant eat pvssy, its one of my main requirements for marriage". She just locked up for me. So I told my friend that has been here before me and said You dont say you dont eat pvssy and i asked him if he does eat pvssy and he smiled and sd "My Brother, You see my girlfrnd likes me alot, it because i eat her pvssy well well" i was dumbfounded because he is the least person i will think he will do that cos i know how prayerful he is back in naija. So i lost the lady. embarassed

So i met another and i told her I dont drive and she was ready to xome pick up for a date. Then i went to my seniors to ask for orientation and i got all the necessary orientation. So she came, picked me up from church and on our way to our nice place for date, she sd she doesnt know how long it will take but she will like to get some stuffs at the store. So we gisted till we got to store. I quickly called my people to tell me how to behave at the store and asked hope i wont be the one reaponsible for the shopping, they said no. Na so i dey initiate another topic wey i don plan to talk about when we get to our place of date and you need to see me pushing trolley beside her, she boughts some items while i collected them from her and arranged inside the trolley, i dey do like person wey don chop vegetables.. i packed all the stuffs inside 8 nylons, pushed the trolley to her car, offload everything and she sd she will like to drop them off quickly at her apartment. Na so i follow her to her house. I carried all the nylons to her apartment, she was just smiling and said " You are very nice and caring", I smiled and replied " All africans are nice especially Nigerians". So we got to her apartment, i sat down and she started preparing lunch while we started a conversation. I talked and talked and exhausted all the topics i have crammed for that date. Mehn, Americans sabi talk. She told me she dated a Nigerian before and even pronounced his name properly, she pronounced abuja, warri and lagos well and damn, this lady got manners, i guess that nigerian taught her some of our culture. She also told me about one nigerian that lives in lagos that she met on facebook and she has been helping to come over here. immediately i heard that, i knew she has been scammed lol... Well long story short, we had our date in her apartment and it really worth it. We went to a friend's of mine, carrying her bags and all kind of stuffs and she was just smiling. At the end of it all, i chopped a deep kiss for being caring. She is even planning vacation with me, seems like i don hit jackpot lol. cheesy cheesy

I enjoyed carrying her bags, holding her hands and the shopping stuffs though and i anytime i go back home, na to dey do all of that to my future wife oo. I think it makes love stronger. I only watched them on nigerian movies in Nigeria but in America, I practicalised it.

Life is good in America, if you wan cross road, car go dey wait for u make u cross, You dont need to run, try that for naija, na OYO u dey but this people are full of fake smiles though. Whoever tells u not to come here na enemy of progress.

The Journey has not been easy but God has been faithful. Enrolled to college(Fall 2019) for an Engineering program. Will do 2years in CC the complete the rest at either UiC or CSU. Time to Intergrate into real American world. No time to check time. Me sef wan work for Boeing if dem pay good money.

In my own opinion, Visa success is more or less a lottery, Nice people with nice profile getting rejected while people with "packages" get approved. I met a guy last month and I was wondering how he got his Visa(Very local), God forgive me but i feel for people burning money just to get this US Visa.

I experienced America when I actually visited Chicago on 4th of July. I was living in a village(City)in Ohio and I can say we are just 10 Nigerians(Africans) there. All we do is go to store(Kroger), come back home. Our highest "Faaji" was Bowl of ice cream, fried Gizzard and Wild Irish Rose. Even the downtown got only 2 high rise building(The courthouse and one other building like that). So me stepping out that greyhound bus that night before 4th of July was crazy. I got into this nice apartment, the streets blasting music etc, went to downtown, I cant just help but stare at all those beautiful magnificent buildings(I walked inside downtown over an hour) just looking and taking pictures. Mehn, I knew i was in real America though 87th and state in south side is like one of this roads in Nigeria where you see people hawking stuffs on the main road.

Daaz001 said Chicago is like Mushin Lagos and Missouri is Paradise grin. I wasnt surprised coming from someone that relocated from one village to another village(No offense daddy grin) but he got to Lake Michigan and took over 1 million pictures grin.. Story for another day..

Back in Nigeria, I have never had sex with a married woman/A lady with kids because the way society presented a lady with kids as worthless etc. Guys be like "Mehn, I just fcked that girl that has kids so I have always this thought process maybe something is wrong with their pvssy or something, I really dont know but then experience here made me understand they are just as normal as ladies without kids. Nothing wrong with the pvssy shocked. I always be like I cant date or marry a single mother but I understand better they deserved to be loved as others.

If you think you love sex, You will get tired of sex when you get here, The are always in the mood, their "greenlight" is always on grin. So dont over do it and die for nothing. they see sex as nothing(My friend ran away from his akata girlfriend cos of too much sex) You can still be asking a lady and still be fucking without her saying YES to you but dont get it twisted, dont assume you guys are dating so that you dont get heart broken.

I am yet to see a peugeot car here on the road and when i asked my wife about the car, she said what is Peugeot? grin

I really dont have Nigerian friends but I met a nairalnader last week Sunday(I know you are seeing this lol).

I really wish to come to Nigeria this december but I am having mixed feelings about it. I can't just help but think I am spending $3000 to $4000 just for 15 days trip($2000+ on airline tickets alone), hotels, sight seeing, food, gift for FnF, etc. but then I miss my family and see whats going on in Nigeria. I want to go to Exhibition(for those that live in Ibadan with understand this) and do some other stuffs but mehn, the money much(I be poor boy).

One spirit dey tell me to just max out my credit card instead of using my Cash(devil is a liar)..

I feel victim of this my "new car" Its a 2AZ-FE engine that Toyota wanted to fix for excessive oil consumption but my warranty has expired embarassed. So Toyota said I should bring $3200 for fixing, I laughed! Car that is going to Nigeria next year Jan.Who wan dash toyota $3,200 on a car that drives good. Just that at 2800miles, it will be telling me low oil. I will just be topping up the oil every 1000 miles. Things are just too expensive when it comes to cars, Very expensive to fix.

Chicago boys bad. I have been scammed and robbed but God is still good. Franknetter, I dey find you oo.. One day, I go catch you for Mac shop cheesy

Do I have more to share? No

Nice day

grin grin grin

Ohio is more like a Country...

Since I moved to the United States, I have always lived in a City OR Suburban...

I have lived in Richmond Virginia, Charlotte North Carolina, Miami Florida, Newark New Jersey & New York City & I’m planning to move to Atlanta Georgia next year...

I can’t leave in a country... it’s too slow paced for me...

I always wanna be in the heart of the city...

Always shine yours eyes whenever you’re in a Big City...

They almost ripped me off of my money the first time I visited New York City but because I tear eye I didn’t fall for their tricks...

Imagine someone was tryna to sell me a Luggage in Times Square for $300.00 when the actual price is $80.00?

I have also visited Atlanta Georgia, Washington D.C., Philadelphia P.A. & Baltimore Maryland...

The only Big Cities I haven’t visited yet is Los Angeles, California & Las Vegas...

Hopefully I get to visit these places soon...

Even the downtown got only 2 high rise building(The courthouse and one other building like that). So me stepping out that greyhound bus that night before 4th of July was crazy. I got into this nice apartment, the streets blasting music etc, went to downtown, I cant just help but stare at all those beautiful magnificent buildings(I walked inside downtown over an hour) just looking and taking pictures. Mehn, I knew i was in real America though 87th and state in south side is like one of this roads in Nigeria where you see people hawking stuffs on the main road.

Daaz001 said Chicago is like Mushin Lagos and Missouri is Paradise grin. I wasnt surprised coming from someone that relocated from one village to another village(No offense daddy grin) but he got to Lake Michigan and took over 1 million pictures grin.. Story for another day..

Back in Nigeria, I have never had sex with a married woman/A lady with kids because the way society presented a lady with kids as worthless etc. Guys be like "Mehn, I just fcked that girl that has kids so I have always this thought process maybe something is wrong with their pvssy or something, I really dont know but then experience here made me understand they are just as normal as ladies without kids. Nothing wrong with the pvssy shocked. I always be like I cant date or marry a single mother but I understand better they deserved to be loved as others.

If you think you love sex, You will get tired of sex when you get here, The are always in the mood, their "greenlight" is always on grin. So dont over do it and die for nothing. they see sex as nothing(My friend ran away from his akata girlfriend cos of too much sex) You can still be asking a lady and still be fucking without her saying YES to you but dont get it twisted, dont assume you guys are dating so that you dont get heart broken.

I am yet to see a peugeot car here on the road and when i asked my wife about the car, she said what is Peugeot? grin

I really dont have Nigerian friends but I met a nairalnader last week Sunday(I know you are seeing this lol).

I really wish to come to Nigeria this december but I am having mixed feelings about it. I can't just help but think I am spending $3000 to $4000 just for 15 days trip($2000+ on airline tickets alone), hotels, sight seeing, food, gift for FnF, etc. but then I miss my family and see whats going on in Nigeria. I want to go to Exhibition(for those that live in Ibadan with understand this) and do some other stuffs but mehn, the money much(I be poor boy).

One spirit dey tell me to just max out my credit card instead of using my Cash(devil is a liar)..

I feel victim of this my "new car" Its a 2AZ-FE engine that Toyota wanted to fix for excessive oil consumption but my warranty has expired embarassed. So Toyota said I should bring $3200 for fixing, I laughed! Car that is going to Nigeria next year Jan.Who wan dash toyota $3,200 on a car that drives good. Just that at 2800miles, it will be telling me low oil. I will just be topping up the oil every 1000 miles. Things are just too expensive when it comes to cars, Very expensive to fix.

Chicago boys bad. I have been scammed and robbed but God is still good. Franknetter, I dey find you oo.. One day, I go catch you for Mac shop cheesy

Do I have more to share? No

Nice day

Why is your flight ticket $2000?

I’m also traveling to Naija this December & I have already booked my ticket with Expedia...

It cost about $1200 for a round trip ticket from New York City to Lagos plus a $35 Trip Insurance...

Then I’m planning on shipping my car back to Nigeria around November that way it would be in Lagos by December...

Then I have about $3,000 already saved up that I plan on using whenever I’m in Lagos, Nigeria...

Everything is going to cost me about $6,000 just for traveling down to Naija for Christmas...

Then when I get back Next year, I plan on doubling my hustle & doing 16hours shifts all over again inorder to recoup the Money spent during Christmas Holiday...

$2000+(my wife included). Being troubling she wants to see Nigeria cos of the bad way media already painted africa.

British airways is the cheapest for now(883$) while its $1300 for my wife. She will join me in nigeria a week after.

To spend Christmas with my family, i will cough out a lot of money on tickets alone. I guess i will only spend new year with them

One of my fear is spending such money in Nigeria only to come back in January to meet bills and start working agressively..

I did my wedding anniversary last year in las vegas. Did booking through expedia(frontier airline was fully booked while going to las Las Vegas and spirit airline while coming back to chicago). Damn, those seats were uncomforable but i fly southwest airlines now, i love their seats..

If i sleep and wake up in residential areas in las vegas, i will think im in a GRA in Nigeria. Their houses are similar to ours. Even for night, heat too much..i cant live in such places.

Ok, I only thought you were the only one traveling to Nigeria...

Since it’s two people is gonna be twice the expenses plus you also have to buy stuffs for your relatives in Nigeria...

Before you travel to Naija just set aside enough money for at least two months worth of expenses that way you don’t have to work aggressively when you return back to the United States...

Why spend only New Year with them & not Christmas?

Would flight tickets be cheaper during New Year?

For me, I did rather spend Christmas together with family than New Year...

I have never flown Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines OR Southwest Airlines...

I have only flown American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Airlines & JetBlue Airlines...

They’re all good & I have been generally satisfied...

Are you based in Chicago, Illinois OR Ohio?
