Hey Susie! Thank you, hope you’re keeping well. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Brief return to this...6 years into America and counting. Became a US citizen in August 2019 so I’m official! Completed all my pilot training and am now working for United Airlines as a First Officer and due for Captain upgrade in 14 months. This could only have been possible in America! You...

Absolutely, hard work is the key here and the best part is that all the qualifications attained here are accepted and recognized ANYWHERE in the world! In my case we already have airline recruitment personnel because there is an acute shortage of pilots so the demand is there for specialist...

Tinjana, I had savings which I used for my training and by virtue of having a job at the same school also entitled me to some discount. All other prospects, please let me know if you require any assistance on your application or guidance on settling in over here, would be more than happy to help!

Greetings fellow DV applicants! I hope by the grace of God that your applications are going smoothly and those who have been selected have been successful. My sincere apologies to those who have messaged and have received tardy or no response from me as I haven't logged onto the forum for quite...

Hey Susie! If I was to be arrested, it'd be for bugging the lady at Social Security lol Indeed the IRS website does state you have to file a tax return as soon as you get your Green Card but as I have discovered the IRS is a little ambiguous and unclear i.e. they say one thing and mean another...

Dear Friends, I sincerely apologise for being MIA over the last two months and for my tardy responses to personal messages. Believe me it has been unbelievably busy settling in. I am currently back in Tanzania on business and will be returning home to the US in two weeks. I'm not certain...

I'd say it really depends from case to case but the norm from what I have seen is 3-4 weeks for the Green Card to physically arrive in the mail. Mine took about 4 weeks from the day I entered the USA. Case No - DV2013AF0007XXXX (applied the first time and got it the first time - lucky me!)...

I concur with Simon on this. It wouldn't hurt to have proof of where the funds came from. I also carried my bank withdrawal slip with me. You been alright Simon? Case No - DV2013AF0007XXXX (applied the first time and got it the first time - lucky me!) Entry Checked - 1st May 2012 Forms Sent...

Hey buddy! Good to hear from you again. How're you settling in? The driver's license is a minor hiccup in some states but you'll be fine once you get through the tests. I also drove with my international and Tanzanian license during my first few days in the USA. I'll inbox you my number but...

I'm baaaack!!! Before continuing I wish to apologise to all my forum friends for my absence as I was extremely busy with my brother's recent wedding and in tandem settling into my new home. Right picking up where I last left off... I received my Green Card on the 20th September so the final...

Mine was a 2013 with 13,500 miles (certified pre-owned) on it and after taxes and all it came to $45,000.

Gabam, congratulations! I told you that you'll come through! Looking forward to having you in the USA :)

Thanks bro :) The insurance for me, my brother and his wife (my brother has the policy under his name) comes to $300 total for all of us which is a heck of a good deal from Geico - if you know someone who can put you under their insurance policy and you can pay them, then do so because it is...

Definitely Simon, its a great car and very smooth on the highways here. Its practically sound-proof so you can't hear the car rolling on the road, fuel efficiency is pretty good too plus what attracted more was that it takes both premium unleaded and regular gas (what we call petrol in the UK...

Cars cars and cars...an absolute necessity in the USA. Well here's my experience of car buying: I'd been waltzing into different dealerships since I entered the USA just to get an idea on pricing, features/goodies etc. I had been researching cars since last year and personally I still...
