Sometimes you make worried. The guy in the street you mention and the one from the most upscale background, both choosing to go for visas must abide by the common denominator- abide b y the rules and you will be fine, period. That you had some background going is hardly the reason why the CO...

congratulations. just a travel tip, travelling in your situation would have been less stressful if you had taken a school, Frankfurt or Zurich, of course with carefully timed connection times. As I have always opined, Dubai too would have done, and for Dulles, you get 3 hour connection time...

OK team. Tons of gratitude. I am going to try one small and secured credit card, probably put a standing pay- on first -demand condition in the bank. I know a credit/debt environment whereby bankers change the terms without consulting you at all. This has ruined many hardworking and financially...

very good piece there susie-thanks

Rent to buy option which is the way to own rent-mortgage situation. Certainly not a one off purchase !!

o Or maybe through some wicked clauses hidden in fine print somewhere in the lengthy terms and conditions, disclaimers etc... very slippery guys, harder to catch than an eel.

If you ever come across a car with a 'debit till old age' slogan, say hi. I will be looking around for a few brave ones to join the club. I still insist that everybody overlooked one observation I made - many upper middle class guys I met, some known to me for over a decade, have clawed their...

They were not Kenyan real estate agents. You need to show the trail (source) of funds transfer . MD realtors are particularly flexible to immigrants housing needs. The houses are neither pits nor prebein remnants. UMD neighborhoods asking for 550k plus if you are buying - not cheap. We must...

It will take a fairly discerned while before Ijump into the credit card bandwagon. By the way a good number of house rentals were ok with kenyan bank acc statements and a bit of cash in the bank, about six months of rent but you are no asked to pay all that upfront. I Went window shopping forva...

Thats the point Thats the point here, careful with credit cards. I have met Ken-Americans who have accumulated so much debt on those cards, they estn very good money but a hooked to condumerism- fancy life that will inevitably boomerang someday. My plea, debt is debt and they let you pick n...

To successful dv2015 guys going across the atlantic, here is a tip you might wish to carry with you, no credit cards or great care with them- very great care. You might find this unusual there but a good number of Kenyans and Chinese ( a vey large number of good upper middle class ) homeowners...

In Maryland, you get real value for the tax dollar. incomparable to what I get where I am coming from. They pick and drop kids from the doorstep. I will be paying very good taxes.

Most parents I talked to easily concluded that public schools are better that charter and private schools.All one needs is to live where there are very good public schools. The neighbourhoods in such places tend to be pricy but worth it.

In Kenya, kindergarten kids get reports too. I toured montgomery and prince George counties of maryland. The two have good schools.Yep, age is key in kindergarten and elementary stages.

Something slightly different .There are magnet schools too. I had dinner with one head teacher and my family and when she talked to my kids, she requested to see their school reports which I did not have but explained about the performance of each kid and she advised that we consider these schools.

CONGLATULATIONS @usamommy2015. Elated to see that you made it after the roller coaster of the dv year. Welcome to the club. I am in town, invite me to your victory party.;)
