@Ferdi, i agree with you. We all are learning. Sincerely, i used to see you as a very 'caustic' (harsh) person but with time, you have improved. Sometimes it's not about the grammar but about the fact that people are oftentimes desperate to get answers and so don't bother with the past/present, or grammar of the English language. it is good to actually see that someone is taking time to make people aware of this importance. Perhaps that's what makes you stand out in this forum. You can correct in a funny way so people don't have to 'be on their toes' because they want to ask a question. Lets see you as the Grammar Man but in a funny way. Afterall, no be our mama tongue na!
@Sunnysunny. Thatz 'Ferdi just being ferdi'. I actually smiled when i saw his response. Itz all good. Glad you are doing great. Kudos to your maturity.
@Heavonborn, I know you wont make too much out of this. Just laugh Jo! and say thank you to Ferdi; our Grammar Professor.

Okay. The problem is bending back over to look at what we don't know before or didn't know was incorrect. I want people to let down their hair but some things are just too simple to be mistaken. Am not a professor in English, though I would love to be. Just be good at it and you go places. I learn every day and I make myself available for corrections not only in English Language. If he sees it as an affront, I'll apologize if he doesn't he too has learned a new and good way of using tenses.
 
Hello house, my final destination point is Ohio but all flight to that region is about 385k which is on the high side for me. It appears that Qatar airways is the cheapest but their final stop is at New York. I would appreciate your advice on the possibility and the challenges involved in stopping at New York and boarding another plane or bus to Ohio. Please someone with useful information should come to my aid.

Most international flights come into a few airports. From there you can catch planes to other places. It is usually cheaper to buy it as a single ticket. If you are stopping at JFK be sure to allow at least 3 hours between flights so that you can get through immigration at the airport. If you choose to continue by bus the major interstate busline is called greyhound. You may have to pay new bagage fees and have a different limit on the number of bags you can take
 
Hello everyone. To those going for interview this week, God will grant you success and testimonies to perfect what He started in your lives, cos this is a month of perfection!

My family decided to change our address from Washington to Houston Texas cos of one or two things. How do we go about it at the POE?




If u are still in Nigeria, I think it is better you fly direct to Houston and not bother going to Washington first. You can also give the Immigration Officer ur new address, when u get to d airport in Houston. Cheers!
 
Hello Forumites,

May the Lord show mercy and favour to ALL those going for interviews this month and the coming months IJN,AMEN.

Also to those still on AP,may the grace of the Lord be with them and grant all VISA BREAKTHROUGH IJN,AMEN.

we shall continue to testify to the goodness of GOD on this forum IJN,AMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations!!!!


when u got USA,did u go to the Social security office at your locality to apply for the SNN nd the GC or it came directly to your house automatically?

We went to the Social Securiy Office two days after we got to the US to apply. It was sent to us by mail. We went with our Nigerian passports only. Then the Welcome letter and Greencard was sent directly to our residence
 
Peace
