Faith063: Doesn't MPower work for instances like this? |
Faith063: 4:38pm On Feb 21 |
Billions123:They won't give me for this semester |
Taal17: 7:47pm On Feb 21 |
Faith063:Ask your university if you can get some kind of exemption due to financial circumstances .like a payment plan. This is a long shot...maybe set up go fund me? Ooh there's a Dr Olu Asekun Law office YouTube channel. Holds every Wed at 12pm CST, questions are taken during the podcasts which he responds to on the live podcast. I've heard him address F1 matters in previuous |

amInigerian: H-1b and L-1 visas** If you hold H-1b or L-1 visa, your spouse is eligible to work or start a business. H-4s (spouses of H-1b), under certain circumstances, are issued an unrestricted EAD card that allows them to engage in any kind of employment/business. L-2s (spouses of L-1) are eligible for employment/business by virtue of their status. All immigrant visas (EBs) also allow the holder and their spouses to work or engage in business. |

Helpout12345: For option 2 do they have a Nairaland group or WhatsApp group? |
ObodoNaija(f): 12:03am On Mar 02 |
EXICON: Hello, can we connect? I am also a nursing student here. Though, I will be graduating in May next year. I want to know how you got a job in your University hospital. |
Helpout12345: 12:25am On Mar 02 |
ObodoNaija: I think they have some on social media. You can use keywords like K1 visa, CR1 visa, US marriage visa to search Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. I don't think there is such group in Nairaland. Also, you can use social media, dating sites to find US based citizens or permanent residents looking for love |

Is there any long-term implications of filing tax with an attorney for higher returns instead of using SPRINTAX as a student? Please advice...
|
Helpout12345: 8:47pm On Mar 05 |
Faith063: Your concern should be competency and accuracy of the attorney and Sprintax. Returns are based on your unique situation as per the tax laws, filing with attorney or an ant, or other tax filing services irrespective. Mind you, no attorney or tax services will give you a guarantee against IRS probe in future. |
Faith063: 5:43am On Mar 06 |
This is kind of serious then, SPRINTAX review is showing I'm owing as well as entitle to a refund which I'm kind of confuse about. I only my w2 and answer some questions truthfully Helpout12345: |
Helpout12345: 6:52am On Mar 06 |
Faith063: That means Springtax might not be accurate. Try use Turbotax or HRBlock. |
Faith063: 7:33am On Mar 06 |
Helpout12345: Heard turbotax is for citizen and could file my tax wrongly |
Helpout12345: 4:38pm On Mar 06 |
Faith063: I haven't heard of that before. I doubt it because I have used them before I became a citizen and they were as accurate as HRBlock. In recent years, I alternate between both Turbotax and HRBlock just due to prices and discounts on their services. |

Faith063: Have you tried any of the IRS free e-filing companies I've used Free tax and 1040.com On IRS site you'll see a list and select which you prefer. I didn't pay for either of them. I tried both of them. I currently use 1040.com because it still doesn't charge for state returns. I was not asked for citizenship information from either. As a student you should have ssn which is what was asked for If springtax said you owe and also said you have a refund then it might be based on what you filed as and if you selected itemized or standard deduction or if you had a jump income from previous year. Sha don't owe IRS as an employee. It's employers that can get away with that ![]() |
Faith063: 8:16pm On Mar 12 |
I'm sorry for putting this here but I need help at this time 😭 if you can or know somebody that can help me please refer me, I promise to pay back before the year runs out. I need btw $3k - $4k to complete my tuition and other expenses. I will be graduating this May. I have a deadline of march 17th to pay up my balance and don't even know who or where to turn to again as I have used up my credit options. Please in anyway you could help me, I will appreciate. I can't do this alone, it's getting overwhelming watching the day getting nearer.

Faith063: 10:05pm On Mar 12 |
Taal17:I thought of it too but not sure of its implication on long term plans as international student |

Faith063: I dont think so, it wont affect your OPT and I dont think it would come up during any H1B application or employment visa. you are in financial straits, you did not expect to be in this position, and you said you have 5 days. Unless there are other options in your locality where someone can loan you cash |
brighttech95(m): 3:07pm On Mar 14 |
Faith063: Check out Mpower Loan. Also talk to your school financial aid’s office they should be able to direct you |
rinzaugustine: 12:33am On Mar 16 |

Anonime1105:So cute! Living as an immigrant can be challenging, but when you add the pressure of being an immigrant student, it becomes even more intense. I’m speaking from personal experience, and it’s not easy to juggle all the academic demands, especially when you're doing it in a foreign language. It feels like every assignment is a mountain to climb, and you’re constantly trying to catch up while adjusting to a new culture. But honestly, DoMyPaper https://domypaper.com/ saved me. Thanks to their incredible , I was able to manage my assignments in a language that wasn't my own, and it really made all the difference. They helped me stay on top of things, reduce my stress, and focus on succeeding in my studies without feeling overwhelmed. |

Guys, please I need advise I’m traveling to the US in May, my port of entry will be JFK. I have bought a round trip ticket and plan to return to Nigeria after 27 days. I have 2 conferences in New York and a third conference in California I have a close relative in New York who I’ll stay with to attend my 2 New York conferences My California conferences is 2 weeks after my New York conference My question is this Do I need to book my domestic flight from New York to California before I travel Do I need to book my hotel in Carlifornia before I travel ? NB: I have accommodation in New York already |
internationalman(m): 8:01am On Mar 17 |
JaySterling: You can do it before you travel and you can as well do it few days before you travel to California. As a matter of fact you can buy a plane ticket or book a hotel any time. |
JaySterling: 9:38am On Mar 17 |
internationalman:will the immigration officer at the border ask me why I haven’t booked a hotel/flight for my California trip once I arrive New York That’s my fear |
internationalman(m): 9:47am On Mar 17 |
JaySterling: That's why it's advisable to book it before hand just so the immigration officers won't have any reason to doubt you.. You ought to be able to show them your travel itineraries and hotel receipts to back up your travel plans for them to be convinced.. 1 Like |

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right platform to drop this but I need some advise on Visa renewal. My US Visa expires in may and I am currently in the US, is it possible to do a drop box in Nigeria to renew my visa since it hasn't expired yet?. Pls advise.
|
Taal17: 7:26pm On Mar 18 |
Angellabelle: Short answer NO Long answer you got a multiple entry visa so the expiration date is not the issue its the i94 The amount of time you are permitted to stay in the US is based on that. When you crossed into America it was set. Go check i94.cbp.dhs.gov for your own. US embassy in Lagos will see when you entered the US. They will tell you to book for interview. |
