souleymon: According to US department of labor http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm

Highest hour rate is 9.19$ Washington
Lowest Hour rate is 5.15$ Georgia

Designated working hour for full time is 40 hours (Overtime or part excluded)

For two weeks wages - 9.19$ X 40 = 367.6 x 2 = 735.2 On a regular Job in Washington

For two Weeks wages - 5.15 X 40 = 206 X 2 = 412 $ On a regular Job in Georgia

For a Payment in Washington $ 1470.4 Minus Tax which could be close to 300$ or More
depending on the dependency you claim in your tax

Same is Applicable to All states.
For Further clarifications, Please use the above analysis .

Mind you, it varies per job, Skilled Jobs brings more money and you pay more tax.

So for an average New immigrant from Nigeria with No Skill,Either you go learn a Certified skill by

the Government or Work in stores and Factories with a Pay not above 10$..


Hey i am not hating anyone or discouraging
But if you are in Nigeria, working and earning above N120K and still not Paying our Government Tax
Not Paying Automated Car Insurance,Health Insurance and others,But have a Visiting Visa and want to abandon
Your Nigerian lifestyle,when you dont have an immediate Family..

souleymon: Your statistics about an average earner in America is wrong madam.

what's the most common job in America and how many are employed full time with insurance benefit.

what's the poverty range according to uscis.please provide concrete information to your followers

@souleymon pls giv us ur own view we r learng here

babyosisi:

Statistics tell us that the average American family make 50k annually
That is roughly $4,000 monthly before taxes
So I will think that if you and your spouse make about N500- 600k monthly and above,you shouldn't move in a hurry.

@babyosis U r angel in human form. Pls can $3-4k montly incom b ok 4 a new couple 4 a start i mean livg gud lif in atlantaG? Gud apartm n a car?

junkerhill:

We will be pleased to have you in atlanta. Atlanta is good and their weather is a good like tht of texas. The cost of living is low to compare to N.Y., chicago or L.A. There are many africans in Atlanta especially Nigerians, but We only have 4 nairalanders in atlanta and each one of us will give you all the assistance you need to be like others. AS for the green card and SSN, it took me 3days to get my SSN and 3weeks to get my green.
Flight ticket to anywhere in america depends on many things;
1: the airline
2: the time of the year
3: Your destination
4: the class of the airline
5: nearness of the date of your departure to the date you bought the ticket purchase.
6: direct flight or connecting flight

All these are what you have to put into consideration before buying your ticket. I did my research very well before i bought my ticket and i expect you to do the same irrespective of where you are going in America.
As for me, i had little money on me so i went for the
one my money could buy. There few airline with cheap ticket to America and they are; Emirates, Royal air Maroc, Qatar, Egyptair etc. I knew going with a direct flight would cost me much so i took some connecting flights that took me to Atlanta, and it also helped me to see som places i had only seen on TV. i will just giv u a brief summary of my journey to US. i went with Emirates, which was the cheapest as at the time i traveled and dont know how much it is now.
From MMA to Dubai, we connected a flight that took us to New York from dubai. From New
York, another flight to Charlotte then another flight from Charlotte to Atlanta. I know it sounds
stressful bt i got it #190,000 cheaper if i had gone
with a direct flight. From MMA to NY wit emirates was 140k, so when I got to New York, I got another flight( U.S. airways) that took me to ATL wit 49k.

MMA ---- Dubai (7hrs)
Dubai ---- New York (13hrs 30mins)
New York --- Charlotte (2hrs)
Charlotte --- Atlanta ( 1hr 30min)
Its was 4 flights in all but You can save yourself the stress if you have the money, but its fun to visit som of these places. If you have enough time you can walk around and see som places while waiting to connect your flight. Emirate has 3 diff flights from MMA to NY everyday and their connecting time differs, one is 2hrs, the other is 8hrs while the 3rd is either 15 or 19hrs. The choice is yours. These are all you need to know before booking a flight. Most times agents don't explain all these things to people, that's why you need to do your research very well before buying your ticket. I will advice you to buy the one with least connecting time, trust me, you don't want to stay for hours waiting to connect your flight cos it could be very boring if you are traveling alone. Just make sure you do your research very well before you buy your ticket.

@junkerhil tanx alot 4ur tim 2respond wel.pls wat abt job opportnitys dere.im comg wit my wife, is der greenlite regardg job? Wat is ur nam on fbuk let m add u so we can chat anytim.tanx bro i knw we wil meet nxyr dere. IJN

junkerhill: Wow!! Never knew the pages of this thread has gotten to 100. My gratitude goes to those who has been of help to you guys; people like Roodboy, Kevwe-flex and many others i dont know of, may the good Lord reward you and may your heart desires all be granted.

Got my greencard and ssn last week and now ready to move on. Just want to remind you guys that patience is very much needed throughout the process of this lottery. starting from the point or date of application to when point of getting your green card. You need to exercise a lot of patient and never fail to commit every step into the hands of God. Always ask question whenever you dont understand anything and always do everything by the book. Following short cuts will only get you into trouble. Even if i'm nt here to answer your questions, i bleiev there are so many good samaritans that will answer all your questions willingly to your satisfaction.

i pray that you all find what you are looking for. Once again my regards to Roodboy, he is a wonderful man, he was with me when the road was tough and i thank God for ing him and not leaving him behind. Roodboy, it shall be well with you. You have a good heart. America needs people like you.
ONE LOVE!!

babyosisi: For those already established in Nigeria making hundreds of thousands of Naira monthly

I will advise you not to move in a hurry
I wrote that earlier
Take a vacation and come for a visit and see things for yourself before making that move
Don't get a 6 months visa and sell off your property ,quit your job in Nigeria to move to the USA without setting foot here
It could be the most foolish decision you ever made,more so with children.


First of all it will take you at least 5 years or more to get to the comparable financial status you were in Nigeria
And if your kids were already teenagers ,college will be creeping up on you while you are still trying to find your feet.
If you came with DV lottery,it is still a hard decision to make let alone coming with a visitors visa in that situation.

The best time to move is when you are single,just starting off your career,as a single student,young couple with no kids or little kids in the preschool years.man and wife well under 40.
You have years to get stabilized
Above the age of 40,with teenage kids,your transition will be rougher and tougher.

@babyosisi pls wat range f mnthly incom one can b mäkg in Nig b4 u can say d person is establishd comparg 2wat is obtainable in d US mnthly with minimum USwages, mayb menial job,cos u said hundred f thousand f naira mnthly in Nig lik in wat rang(dis might help) pls. u r angel

babyosisi:

The decision is ultimately his
If he decides to make it lapse,I believe he is pas a good opportunity
Sounds to me like this is a young couple
That is the best time to migrate besides when one is single
The first few years will be rough but with hardwork and perseverance and listening to the right people,he will be alright.
Maybe when his state govt owes him about 3 months salary he will change his mind lol.
I will advise him to get a one year leave of absence from his job,paid or unpaid and come
If he decides he doesn't like it,he can go back but will have a green card to return should he change his mind again

thanx babyosisi
