Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by codedarrow: 5:54am
Thank you for this information. Regarding this can you help review my job duties please?
stevolinkon40:

Damn, that's a very big mistake.
However since you cannot change NOC after ITA, if you are able to liase with your HR, I think the only thing closest to your job on NOC 33109 is "Rehabilitation aids" if you work in mental health hospital or support work, the popular health care Assistant in care homes won't fit into this category unfortunately.

Foreign Affairs / Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by armyofone(m): 11:55pm On Jul 10
They should be realistic that there is no time anymore to get another person into Biden place.

They should stick together and accept whatever happens - win or not.

It won't serve any purpose getting a new person to replace Biden. Kamala is not favorable.

gc should enjoy Italian Alfredo and some gongozola and leave the sequoia to weather the storm.

He will at last many who are talking like he will die tonight grin


PDPGuy:
George Clooney calling on Biden to drop is a veritable sign that the top echelons of the Democratic Party are done with President Biden…

It’s now a matter of WHEN, and not IF Biden will withdraw from the race.

Politics / Re: I Helped An Awalokan With His Green Card Application. by Brandosky: 6:39am On Jul 10

As copied from Facebook

I helped an Awalokan with his green card application.

In June 2024 I received an email message from someone from Nigeria. He is a professor in one of the universities in Nigeria and hails from Ekiti State; a Yoruba. I will call him John here, to protect his privacy. In his email, John requested for my assistance with a letter to support his US Green Card (gc) application. I asked John how he knew me, and he said from reading my work. Okay! I get that response a lot from people who reach out to me; I too, am proud of my achievements in the field. 😃😃

For those who might not know, the US has a specific gc category called EB2-National Interest Waiver (NIW). NIW is offered to highly qualified scientists having a minimum of PhD who have something to offer the US. Simply put, if you have advanced knowledge that is of National Interest (NI) to the US, then certain aspects of the general green card requirement can be waived (W) for you towards obtaining the gc. NIW is typically afforded to foreign scientists who are already working in the US on visa, although it cannot be ruled out for scientists who apply from outside the country. To apply for NIW, you need to submit a load of paperwork to demonstrate the quality of your scientific achievements. Among the documents to submit include letters (the more letters you submit, the better for you; in my time I submitted 10) from other scientists who know about your work and who are not your father, mother, sibling, cousins, uncles, aunties or any other type of relative. Simply put, the letter writers must not know you except on a professional basis. I did not know John before he contacted me. But he knew me. He claimed to have cited my papers in his own work and that is enough to establish a professional connection. I googled his work and found out that he was being truthful. Box checked.

Now, the 2023 election and how it played out with respect to crude tribalism and sectional hatred for other Nigerians (in this case towards Igbos) by Tinubu supporters from Yorubaland (aka Awalokans) is no longer breaking news. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to relish any opportunity provided by the suffering and disappointment of Tinubu supporters due to his lack of performance and his penchant for being insensitive towards the citizens, including Yorubas. With that in mind, I searched for John’s name on Facebook and went through his profile down to the election campaign period. During the search, I discovered that John was a rabid Tinubu supporter and had made nasty comments about Igbos and how they cannot be allowed to be president, even though Obi maintained consistently that he was not an Igbo candidate. At that point I was very furious and decided against providing a letter for John. He could not vote for a bad and corrupt president and now wants to japa out of Nigeria. He should stay back and eat his own vomit. Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind, until the better part of me took over. Long story short, I wrote a support letter for John and got my American Associate to also write one for him. I am not as selfish, mean and wicked as some other Nigerians would be. Whether John is eventually granted the NIW by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is another story. It is tough getting it from outside the US, especially if you are applying from certain countries with questionable quality of ADVANCED research. Sadly, Nigeria is one such country. John studied abroad; so, he appears better than the average Nigeria-based researcher.

Now, I challenge anyone from Tinubu’s tribalism infested camp to prove that they can help anyone who is not in their camp in such a deep way as I did (yes, anything to assist a Nigerian to japa, especially at this high level, is deep). Una no fit; the milk of human kindness no dey for una blood.

============================================================================
June 20, 2024
Dear USCIS Adjudicator,
Subject: Letter in Support of Professor John Bleep’s Application for US Permanent Residency
I write this reference letter to provide my support for the application by Dr. John Bleep for the United States permanent residency under the EB-1A National Interest Waiver category. Before highlighting the scientific achievements of Dr. Bleep, it is germane that I spotlight my credentials in relation to this letter. A US citizen, I am the Chief Scientist and Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry at ABCD. Prior, I was a Senior Development Scientist at the International Fertilizer Development Center, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and a Research Assistant Professor at Utah State University, Logan. At ABCD, I am responsible for the management, research direction, business development (grantsmanship), and oversight of a group of highly talented researchers and analysts working in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology implications and applications, and on food and environmental safety regulatory activities for the State. My research more generally concerns the impact of naturally occurring and man-made chemicals on crop performance, food quality and safety, and the role of soil chemistry in these processes. The major focus has been on nanomaterials as agrochemicals. I am an authority in this area, having published over 130 research articles with a H-Factor of 49 and nearly 13,000 citations as of June 2024, according to Google Scholar. I obtained my PhD in natural sciences from the University of Jena Germany, under the auspices of the International Max Planck Research School for Chemical Ecology.
For full disclosure, I have never worked with Dr. Bleep. However, as we work in the same general scientific domain, I am aware of his research and have become impressed with his work. As you know, there are pressing challenges currently facing global agriculture and food security. Dr Bleep’s research is crucial in this context as it focuses on sustainable soil management practices to remediate and enhance the productivity and health of agricultural soils. One of Dr Bleep’s original scholarly contributions is the development of nature-based solutions for remediating the contamination of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in agricultural soils. The innovative work, through thermal pyrolysis of agricultural wastes into biochar and use as a soil amendment, is particularly noteworthy. In these studies, Dr. Bleep successfully demonstrated the potentials of orange peel- and cocoa pod -derived biochar at low thermal pyrolysis to reduce cadmium (Cd) mobility in soils, which in turn improved the nutrient content of food crops. This innovative approach not only stabilizes contaminants but also contributes to soil health by adding carbon and nutrients, highlighting the ecological and sustainable benefits of his research, which will especially benefit the US agricultural sector. An output from this work can be found at (website address)
Dr. Bleep's research has extended to the application of nanotechnology in agriculture. In this regard, he has conducted comprehensive studies on the impact of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in plants, particularly focusing on their potential to reduce the uptake and toxicity of PTEs in food crops. His work with copper (Cu) nanoparticles on cowpea plants, for example, provided valuable insights into the environmental behavior and impacts of ENMs, offering a foundation for future research in this emerging field. His study involving the use of K-edge XANE technique to unravel nanoparticle-crop interactions contributes strongly to prior studies by providing novel insights into the toxicity mechanisms of nano-Cu in plants. The findings from this study were published in 2019 in a reputable Elsevier journal (website address) and has garnered over 20 citations. In a nutshell, the study revealed crucial details on the biotransformation of Cu within plant tissues, contributing to our understanding of nanoparticle-induced phytotoxicity and its mitigation. His nano research is instrumental in developing strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of nanomaterials in agriculture, ensuring food safety and security. The significance of this research to farmers, especially cowpea farmers in the US, is that it emphasizes the adoption and effective management of nano-Cu-based pesticides in the field.
Furthermore, Dr. Bleep has made other landmark contributions in nanotechnology for sustainable crop protection and food production through the innovative use of nanoparticles as foliar ameliorant for cadmium toxicity in crop plants. For instance, in a work published in 2020 (website address), the foliar application of nano titanium dioxide bolstered the antioxidant defense mechanism; reduced the Cd-induced oxidative stress; and enhanced the levels of essential micronutrients. Due to the significance of the findings to the scientific community, the research has garnered over 80 citations since its publication. This study has profound implications for the US, given the significant challenge to agricultural productivity and food safety posed by soil degradation and contamination in the country. His future research endeavours in the US, which would continue to be aimed at improving soil health and addressing the contamination of agricultural lands, align with national priorities such as those outlined by the EPA and USDA, especially with the Closer to Zero Initiative involving eliminating Cd, lead, and other toxic elements in human food. His work will undoubtedly complement ongoing efforts in the country to promote nutrition security, food safety, and sustainable agriculture.
In summary, Dr. Bleep is a highly accomplished researcher whose work has made substantial contribution to the fields of phytonanoremediation and nano-enabled agriculture. With a H-Index of 21, his body of work, represented in 64 published articles, has been cited 1550 times, based on Google Scholar record as of June 2024 (website address). His interdisciplinary approach combining plant ecology, chemistry, and nanotechnology, positions him as a leader in developing solutions to some of the most critical issues facing global food security and environmental health, issues that are no less pertinent for the US. Thus, I have no doubt that Dr. Bleep will continue to excel and make significant advancements in his field in the US, if granted the NIW. Please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have concerning this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Signature

Bro, you should have thrown his request to the thrash bin where it rightly belongs.
You see there is a reward for every action one takes. Even God in the judgement day, will reward us based on our actions here.
The same voice he used in endorsing tinubu, will be needed here to dethrone tinubu . If you help him cross over to the united states, he will continue to endorse failures and promote tribalism while still leaving in united states, using his facebook handles and other platforms.
If you can, ensure you sabotage his effort. We need him here to help correct the mess he created.

What you did is likend to the gesture FG offers to repentant Bokoharam and bandits, even though they've murdered thousands.

Political fanatics are on the same space as racist, bigots and extremists. These set of people should not be in the seat of power by any form. It will amaze you that such a man has used his position for the benefits of Tinubu and enjoys his spoils, that's why he's a core political bigot. If you had turn him down, you would have done Nigeria a favour in your own way of curbing such people from positions of superior advantage.

Legally, the US government verdicts NIW applications from people who are not extremist and bigots when applying for gc as background check Is been carried out.

I've done a bit of work, and I know the person you're taking about down to his university. I can as well write a counter letter to the home office. No political extremist deserves pity considering Nigeria's present woas of which BAT is the worst president ever

His future research endeavours in the US, which would continue to be aimed at improving soil health and addressing the contamination of agricultural lands, align with national priorities such as those outlined by the EPA and USDA, especially with the Closer to Zero Initiative involving eliminating Cd, lead, and other toxic elements in human food. His work will undoubtedly complement ongoing efforts in the country to promote nutrition security, food safety, and sustainable agriculture.
In summary, Dr. Bleep is a highly accomplished researcher whose work has made substantial contribution to the fields of phytonanoremediation and nano-enabled agriculture. With a H-Index of 21, his body of work, represented in 64 published articles, has been cited 1550 times, based on Google Scholar record as of June 2024 (website address). His interdisciplinary approach combining plant ecology, chemistry, and nanotechnology, positions him as a leader in developing solutions to some of the most critical issues facing global food security and environmental health, issues that are no less pertinent for the US. Thus, I have no doubt that Dr. Bleep will continue to excel and make significant advancements in his field in the US, if granted the NIW. Please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have concerning this letter.
Yours sincerely,

Damn, that's a very big mistake.
However since you cannot change NOC after ITA, if you are able to liase with your HR, I think the only thing closest to your job on NOC 33109 is "Rehabilitation aids" if you work in mental health hospital or support work, the popular health care Assistant in care homes won't fit into this category unfortunately.

Thank you.
That’s an option I’m willing to consider; I saw a post from people with similar issues in the past and they still got their PR. See link below

Your finances must have been clearly insufficient, or there were unexplainable lump sums, for the VO to refuse your application based on IRPR 220(a) and (b). A detailed review of the account’s cash flow could reveal the VO's concerns. For instance, a VO can refuse an application for insufficient funds, even if the balance is enough to cover the cost of education for 1yr if;
1. there is a large deposit with no reasonable explanation, and the account's history is inconsistent with such a deposit.
2. The account was opened recently
3. It is a corporate account with less than 1y statement and poor cash flow.
4. Unconvincing source of the income
This list is not exhaustive. Review the bank statement for the aforementioned and see how you can address them.

N50M is sufficient unless your tuition fee is exceptionally high.

I recently applied for study permit and VISA for canada and got refused below is the full letter
Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. I have reviewed your study permit application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a study permit (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing your application.
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPR, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPR, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.
I am planning to submit another application. My parents have 50 million naira in bank statement, I just got a sponsor of 10000 pounds from a family friend which isn't available to me but He has printed a bank statement and written a sponsorship letter for me. I also have a letter of good standing for my dad stating it's for my higher education worth 20 million naira a year. I do not exactly have time of excess right now as my school would be starting soon. Do you suggest I get a GIC with 23 million naira out of the bank statement or something else please any advice and suggestions on how I would reapply properly would be highly appreciated

Your chances are higher if you use your parents as the main sponsor.

You can not remarry unless you are unmarried .

Please ensure your first marriage is ended properly with your wife's consent/knowledge either through court or customary court whichever marriage you did.

If you go and package any supposed divorce documents it will affect your petition I t he US, . The USCIS will just hang it there in pending status.
They already triple scrutinize green card applications from Nigerian men based in the US whose application is through marriage.
gc through marriage is a long road na where e start you know..where e go end we never sure

That's my advice.

What if, in your marriage in Nigeria, you didn’t go through any court..but rather, you approached her family and paid the bride price and that’s all? If anything happen in such a marriage, do you still need to discuss it?

In what world do you think that Chioma, who is married to a citizen and whose kids are citizens by virtue of birthing in the US, will deliberately forego becoming a US citizen via spousal link? My husband is a citizen, my kids are citizens, but all I need is a PJ? A Nigerian woman fa!
So what happens if she falls out with Davido in the future?
She'll always be going for visa appointments when a blue passport offers her unfettered visa-free access to dozens of countries?



I asked you to treat Davido and that hypothetical situation similarly.
Chioma can choose to make the US her primary residence.
If her marriage to Davido is legally valid, that'd make her virtually indistinguishable from the wife in that analogy.

A woman in Chioma's shoes will be covering all her bases.
When you're married to a known philanderer, who is a scion of a powerful family, and who has a history of attempting to use underhanded schemes to get his way (versus the Momodus); you make sure you acquire every protection available to you.
Even if she is not thinking along this line, someone in her orbit will.

All I have done is point out the privileges available to her by virtue of her marriage.
What she does with them is her prerogative.
But they are available and in her circumstances form the foundation of a contingency plan.

-Lord

Even if their marriage is legal, David still have to file and sign documents for her to become a gc holder

Chioma and David have been an item for almost 10yrs now there's a reason he has not done that filing.

Chioma can have her reasons all she wants but in this case Adeleke holds the main card

One all the assets of David is in a trust that can't be touched

All Davidos potential inheritance are held in a trust that no divorce settlement can touch

If Chioma can pull 10 strings Deji Adeleke can pull 10000

Hey guys. Can I get married in the USA if I’m currently married in Nigeria?

My wife and I are separated though, due to some cheating, which I can’t talk about here

I’m currently in the states on a b2 tourist visa and I’ve found another woman who I’m deeply in love with. I proposed and she said yes.
