Hello Uduafemhe24, can you help with a detailed explanation of the EB2NIW process? I need someone to help breakdown how the application is done from Nigeria. Happy to take this to the DM

uduafemhe24:
Hello everyone,
I have this question I wanted to ask all this while. Here is it; what if as the principal applicant for my EB2-NIW case, i enter the US ahead of my family and have them join me at a later date, but wait for them at the airport on the day of their arrival? I mean, I am aware that, the USCIS has said that the principal applicant should be present when dependents are appearing for the first time.

Thanks.

Hello, I'm unemployed and going to the state with someone for a conference what do you think will be the best answer to fill as employment status and duties on the form. The other party will be sponsoring all bills

Truth be told are you are openly presenting yourself as someone positioned for illegal migration. It will be miles better if your sponsor puts together some form of employment and show some track record of you contribution to the company over the years as well as need for you to return to continue to improve said company. But going by what you described above, bro them go bounce you like basketball... Just saying the hard truth.

Cheers

Hello Nairalanders,

I am writing this as one who once obtained my 1st US visa in 2015, then comes Trump in 2017 and I got denied twice after. I was then schooled on a critical mistake I was making while completing my DS-160 form and I realized that a lot of us make same mistake. I recently corrected my mistake and to God be the glory, I have just gotten my 5-year visa to the US, valid till 2028.

Now you must be asking what is this critical step in the DS-160 form? After completing all the necessary details in the DS-160 form, just before the end of the application, there is provision to write any additional information in the DS-160 form about yourself and your reason to travel. The best thing to detail here is to provide concrete and multiple reasons showing your ties to your home country and reason to return. So what are valid reasons you can include here? The following are possible suggestions I was given:
1. Ties to real estate property and show management of same in country (rental collection, on-going rent, mortgage payments, property in development etc.) - show photos, receipts, titles, statements etc as evidence.
2. Business ownership and current running of the business. Show how US trip can influence the local business. If you are meeting with partners in the US to improve US trade, also highlight that here. Show engagements with US business (emails, call logs). Show evidence of day-to-day operation of your local business, incorporation documents with your name, photos of you working in the business and improtance of the trip to your business.
3. Are you in the civil service? do you have an upcoming promotion exam? have you enrolled for a professional exam? (not IELTS, TOEFL as these show japa tendencies). Exams that will promote working locally. Show evidence of enrollment, previous certifications obtained, CV etc.
4. Support to a relative needing continuous medical care. Though sad but this is an option to include to show ties.
5. Married with kids, show evidence of kids in school, in the middle of the term, results etc.

Please all these above are just suggestive examples and be sure to provide evidence of the above. Properly filling out this section of the DS-160 form is what will ensure that the interviewer has a basis to discuss with you during the interview on your ties to the country. Also note that that if you are buoyant, you can also include a refundable airline return ticket.

Remember, the goal is to ensure that you have a proper interview. The visa officers use this section to determine if it is worth speaking to you during the interview or not. If you don't fill anything in this section, on the day of the interview, expect to hear something like you have not shown enough ties to your home country and at this point they are not at liberty to issue you a visa.

I am curious to read about your success once you improve your applications.

Have a fulfilling weekend.

Cheers everyone.

Yea I tried,I failed woefully after the 4th day

Then you have to do it again and this time mean it. Like I said, hang out with other females

Bro you are at the point where you can easily swing the power games around.

Go ahead, do something extremely nice to this girl, make sure you point out what you did. When she does not appreciate it, call her out one more time, warn her and let her go. Immediately after she leaves in pretense, make sure you start hanging around other girls she knows and be extremely nice to them, and genuinely do not contact her, no matter how long it takes, ghost her. If she does not come back, allow her go, if she does, state your ground rules clearly before you let her back, if she hesitates, hang with other girls again, at not point should you miss her, call her or apologize.

Hear word!

Boko Haram insurgents on Thursday opened fire on the convoy of the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum.

The incident was said to have happened around 9 pm.

According to TheCable, security sources said the insurgents attacked the convoy in Konduga while Zulum was returning from a trip to the Bama Local Government Area.

Zulum had visited Bayo, Kwaya Kusar, Askira Uba and Gwoza as part of his “familiarity and need assessment tour” of the 27 LGAs in the state.

The source said, “Luckily the governor, his commissioners and other vehicles in the convoy escaped unhurt but the last vehicle which is an army gun truck was pelted with bullets.

“Immediately after they fired at us, our men in collaboration with the armed personnel from the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad, retaliated and thwarted the ambush.”

Konduga, an area near Sambisa forest, has come under many attacks from the faction of Boko Haram under the control of Abubakar Shekau.

The attack comes seven months after Kashim Shettima, Zulum’s successor was attacked by the sect on his way to Gamboru Ngala, still in Borno.

That African leaders will learn that life is transient and man is only human. @mynd44

I learnt one very interesting lesson from the life of Mugabe. And the lesson is, never overstay in your glory days, know when to quit and ensure you groom a worthy successor...

Former Zimbabwe prime minister Robert Mugabe has died aged 95, according to multiple sources in the country.

ZimLive is reporting the death of the man who led the country during two spells from 1980 to 2017.


This led to an outpouring of tributes to the former prime minister and president, who was said to have passed away in a Singapore hospital after battling ill health.

Dewa Mavhinga, Southern Africa director for Human Rights Watch, said Mugabe's nephew told him about the former Prime Minister's death.

Mr. Mavhinga added that three ex-ministers who served in Mugabe's cabinet had confirmed the news.

The message confirming his death said: "Gushungo is no more. Rest in Peace Sekuru." Gushungo is Mugabe’s clan name and Sekuru means uncle".

Fadzayi Mahere the secretary for education for the opposition party MDC Zimbabwe tweeted: "Rest In Peace, Robert Mugabe.

"My response to your passing is complicated. I’m going to write a long piece.

"However, for now, deepest condolences to his family."

Controversial Mugabe was accused of vote-rigging, intimidation and embezzlement before being booted from power in 2017 after a military coup.

However, the Zimbabwean leader was given the royal treatment on his state visit to the UK 25 years’ ago, including a carriage ride with the Queen and a lavish banquet.

The invitation was extended despite his reported involvement in the deaths of 10,000 people during a crackdown of opposition parties.

Good day great people. Please has anyone here done an Emergency Travel Certificate from Atlanta. are the requirements same as on the 1st page of this thread (How much does it cost now?) and can it be done in 48 hours? Thanks

Thanks for the concern. But nothing in there is for me. Thats all our host asked for and they usually want a lot of milk for the kids and other relatives. Will swap the noodles for any regular non-chicken flavour. Much appreciated.

@dere5

@chikos

chikos:

My exact thought!. How many months are u going for? Pls I think 4packs of milk and a cartoon of oriental noodles or other type of noodles without chicken written on it should be enough . Remember you have other foods stuff to carry plus u will also eat out. Don't carry what u dont or won't need.u will need the space to carry baby things back

Hello great mamas and papas. This question is for those with vast POE experience. Abeg dem go seize this wifey load for yankee airport? See pic attached. Also intend to carry pepper soup spices. Cheers y'all...

Watch from 37mins

Good day powermike. Yes you can transfer from a 3rd party account. But make sure your wife goes to the travelex office/bank 1st to notify them of the name of the 3rd party transaction expected. Better still you can transfer to her account and she can make the payment herself so all documents are synchronous

powermike9999:

Hello mamas and papas in the house.

PTA - 4000 USD/ BTA- 5000 (CAC incorporation certificate and intro in company letter head required). You can purchase without having an account with Skye bank. Eligible to purchase once every quarter.

Have a nice day all...

My bro, the only reason your Dad's family suddenly wants you is because you are the only Grand child that will be able to sustain the family name. The question you should ask yourself is would they have wanted you if there were any 'legitimate' male grand kids. Your mum is not being selfish. Put yourself in her shoes and reason all of this. It is easy to forgive but can we ever forget.

Lastly what if your step dad and mum were your only life options will you be confused - NO. Money is not everything. Sometimes you allow people go with their money. The moment you comply to money you have been bought for a price. You may just be helping your biological father's family by teaching them a generational lesson and not going back. The moment anyone in that family has a child out of wedlock, they will learn to take care of the child and accept fully.

I have come to learn something in my almost 40 decades of living that family is not by blood ties, family is who was there, is still there and will continue to be there without any selfish interests.

To cap this up, I was brought up in a nuclear family that my parents adopted siblings along the way. Most of my foster siblings are even doing better than some of the biological kids but you will never know the difference.

Pray hard about it. You will not want to loose your mum you know.

Good day great Mamas and Papas in the house. Please I need to know if there is a travelex office at the international wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja. If there is, has anyone used it and what was their experience, how much was the dollar on the day etc. The struggle is real...

Hello all,

Please any updates on banks selling PTA this week in Lagos. Black Market is looking scarier as the days go by.

YoungMetrosG:
Hi there. My friend's mom introduced me to this company who helped me ship a handbag in its box among her things a few months ago and my own share of the cost was $60. I don't remember the exact numbers but they ship for a certain amount per a certain weight. I should also mention that they shipped it Dallas to Lagos, they send things once a week and it took between 7-10 days. I still have the invoice.
DM for the company's name/number, there's also a website address on there. I don't think I'm allowed to post that sort of info on here.

Good day YoungMetroG, I sent you a DM as regards the shipping company you used. Please I will like to have their details so I can contact and use them later in the year. Most likely from Atlanta to Abuja. Thanks.

Good day hotmummy, Please I have been trying to reach you as regards Northside Hospital for my wife. Can you email me on teenyaan@yahoo.com

Abeg no vex, I just need to make sure I am getting some things right. We intend to use Northside - Forsyth.

Look forward to hear from you.

Just to hail all the Mums, Mums to be, Dads and well wishers in the house. This thread was mentioned by a visa officer at the American embassy somedays back and truly you have no clue the impact of this thread now in part 4 has had on the lives of so many Nigerians. We the number of silent readers who have come here, taken tips and bettered their lives are so grateful. To all the mods, super contributors and Seun, may God continually bless you.

Keep it going strong, and happy independence day to all the American babies.

Love, Tablesturn

...tables will always turn, so relax.
