Thanks Sherlock, without you I would never have figured out there was something like google.

EngGandalf:

Well if cost is not a problem, you should be able to google the biggest airline in your country and book a flight . Or the airlines that fly international in your country

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, got one with delta airlines with a 4hr stopover at Atlanta.

No

chibros02:


Can you help me to bring some native clothes, when coming to the US?

Hi Everyone, Please I’m looking to book a flight to Orlando Florida and I need an airline that doesn’t require transit visa, with the shortest flight time and the least amount of stopovers. I don’t know if anyone can be of help. Cost is not really a problem.

Hi Everyone. I will be moving to the US next month, settling in Columbus Ohio. Looking forward to tips regarding the city such as African shops, nice places to hang out etc. Thanks.

Yes I am aware of that and my company has done their part and filled all the required documents. However I still have to attend a visa interview and would like to know the likely questions

semmyk:
L-1 category of visa are for intracompany transfers of managers and specialist between their home country and the States. Ordinary they'll be handled by the company and not individuals.

Honestly if it’s not Audit in a big 4 I will advise you to go for the investment banking. As long as the investment bank is also a good place. Tax is a limiting profession and it will be hard for you to practice what you’ve learned here outside the country due to difference in tax laws. Except you are fortunate to be in the transfer pricing department as that is a new field with limited professionals. Whatever one you decide on, think long term and mobility in the job market and that should be what should drive your decision.

Well they say everything happens for a reason. God made him help you when you needed help so that you will one day help his family when he is gone. Reach out to her, apologize for the pain you had once caused her, it should pale in comparison to the loss she feels after her husband’s death and the also the pain her children are currently going through. She might however not forgive you immediately, but tell her to accept the help, even if not for her, but for her children. If she still refuses, then do it anonymously.

BLACKBOY19:

Ikeja

Osed:


What questions did they ask your cousin?

They just wanted to confirm that we were related, probably because we don’t share the same surname as she is my cousin from my mum’s side. So they asked her some personal questions about me. I’m a first time applicant, so maybe that’s why.

June 6th biometrics here, my cousin that sent me an invite just said immigration called her. Hopefully a decision is made soon.

Hi Everyone, I have been a silent follower of this thread and it’s nice to see the amount of information being shared on this platform. So my soon to be husband currently has a Canadian work permit, and we are trying to decide if we should apply for a SOWP for me or try to get a work permit for myself (which is also possible). The only problem is that getting a work permit for myself will result in us working in the same company in Canada, which I’m not a big fan of. So I wanted an open work permit so I can work somewhere else and have other options. However seeing the timelines for the SOWP is scaring me a lot as his work permit took just about 1+months but the SOWP is looking to be around 6months to a year. I just need some advise as to the best decision to make.

treelineinnovat:

Congrats Janedoe, I am still waiting g to be cald for audit PI , was Hoping to resume September. Is it sept 9? Can I send u a PM?

Yes you can.

treelineinnovat:
Anyone here that has been successful and is resuming work this September ?

Yes

quadriolakunle:


I have been worried maybe it's because my sch hasn't sent my transcript that I haven't been booked for audit AC.
So are ppl invited for AC without transcript,
Been waiting for audit AC for a while.

Still hopeful.

Done my medicals and I’m still processing my transcript

Olabisi303:

How was the medicals like ma'am?

It was quite comprehensive. All aspects are checked.

AMCE:


Greetings, Janedoe27
Please, I sent you a mail. Please, can you acknowledge it cause I would like to ask you some personal questions. Thanks.

I have replied your messages twice now

I would like to advice everyone who has gotten a benchmark mail after PI to still remain prayerful because I know someone that got a regret mail after it. And also prepare because you might be made to do a second interview. In all be hopeful and until you see that mail for medicals you are very much still in the race.

Topstarr:


Hi, done your medicals yet Jane?

Yes I have

Robynwelo1:
Janedoe27

Haha yes dear

olasuky:



Now, dats the spirit i am talking about. Oh, besides, the recruitment seems like a cumulative process. I mean, ur performances at each stage are stacked together. When i went for PI, the partner had my aptitude test script wit her, that stage we wrote essay, i saw it. She also had those of other candidates scheduled for that day. I m pretty sure she had the performance record at AC level too. i m nt totally sure tho, but i think evrytn put together goes to some extent to determine the partner's verdict not just what happens at PI. Just a thought.

Yeah, true. Saw mine too.

olasuky:


U will be called eventually, since u were successful at AC. You will be invited for PI. From wat i heard, those partners are very busy pple. The day i did PI, i think we were just four.
But on another note though, i dont know if dats how they operate normally sha, but their HR ed me first to ascertain my availability before they sent the actual mail later that day. So, i hope the phone number you gave them has been available since sha? Just incase they try/tried to reach u. Dont worry ur head tho o, i dont know if its a norm for them or just once in a while.
Perhaps Janedoe could comment on how she was invited too

I was called first too.

AOSamson:

Thanks boss. It great to have people like u n Janedoe to encourage others. I will keep my finger crossed, I prayed abt it already
I'd just let God take the wheel. I felt d same way after my AC n it came out good so if it God's will it will happen.
Thank you.

Me that when I got home after my PI, I nearly cried. My partner told me that he wasn’t convinced that I really wanted to work for kpmg, that I’m just after the money� So my dear just calm down, what will be will be.
