Thats good, u cannot convert the Nigerian license but u can use it in ur state for a period of 90days after which it will be illegal for u to use it, all u need do is to locate the license office near u, here in Chicago they call it "secretary of state office" and make ur inquiries thats if u can drive, we all know that in Nigeria even a blind man is entitle to a driver's license,lol. in my own case, even with my Nigerian driver's license in my pocket, i just went to the office, paid $40 for my state ID and the license, i took the written test without the driving test bcos i told them i'm not ready for it, my test was marked, i passed and i was issued a driver's permit to drive, been using that since, i'll be goin for the driving test this week. note with Nigeria's driving skills, u'll fail the test, so before u go for the written test, go to their office and grab the driver's manual. Good luck.

Before u get a job here u must undergo a drug test, usually after ur interview, it just to chek if u do drugs including igbo. lolllllll
if u chek my signature u'll see dat ive gotten my GC since. how is ur family?

I had my interview on 9th of june and i was told to pick up my visa on 16th of june in LEKKI, I went there as usual but i was told its not ready up till today whenever i call them i do receive the same message 'your visa is not ready". Please house what is happening to my case cos its getting close to 2weeks now. THANK YOU

Chill and I know that is easier when u have that passport in ur hands. It'll come, keeping calling every two days.Please don't abuse them!

u did not update ur signature with the GC?

How long does it take to get the GC and how is life generally up there?

so I can come over with my Nigeria Driving license or the international Driving license?which one is better?

May the good Lord continue to be with you up there and guide ur steps.

Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
 
pls just drop the license from nigeria,go to department of motor vehicles in that state and write the test,if u pass,u'll be given learner permit,then when u pass the road test,u'll be given a driver license,there is nothing to convert.

just hold on and fear not.my daughter's passport had the same challenge.it hanged and untill it drops,there is nothing nigeria can do about it,so just hold on and praise God ok

Both nigeria and international driving license are not necessary,i did that and no one asked for it,it was just waste of money.when u get here,u'll write a test,if u pass,u'll be give a learner permit,then when u pass the road test,u'll get a driver license.to get the learner's permit cost me 77dollar 50cents,u'll also pay to get the driver license but i've not gotten mine so i dont know the price for now.

this ur question is very funny lol.ur dress code does not matter,what matters is ur composure,correct documents and answer all the questions the consular ask u,i wish u success.
For those who have gone to the embassy for interview: is there any dress code for selectee? Formal, strictly formal or casual. Guyz, pls what's ur take on this, it might sound funny but i think its necessary!

yea Dunsbabe has said it all, u don't need those licenses, nobody asked me off my own, all u need is to know how to drive, in Chicago, u can walk into their office today and come out with ur license and ur state ID for $40.
