You're welcome Shorrie. Your buddy didn't do anything wrong by referring you to the website. Like I mentioned earlier, not everything posted on Craigslist is bogus or fraudulent. If you're good at separating the wheat from the chaff, then you just might score yourself a great deal from the website. But in general, it's not a website I would personally rely on, wouldn't even go near it with a 10" pole - this is my personal opinion!

Here are some tips some of you may find useful:
  • Be weary of landlords who insist on you paying your deposit and 1st month's rent with cash. Chances are the landlord is out to scam you. Make sure your transactions are traceable, insist on check payments
  • Be sure to get a receipt for your payment
  • Do not part with payment if there's no written contract (TYPED! not handwritten) indicating what and what is your responsibility as a tenant, and the landlord's resposibilities
  • Be weary of landlords who insist on you making a commitment right on the spot, chances are he doesn't own the home or represent the home owner, he's simply out to get you
  • If a landlord claims he's out of town and wants you to wire money over to him, the warning bells should start ringing in your head!

Doing background checks on the State you're moving to is a great idea, city-data is a good source. Be aware though, that the information on that site is not government owned or endorsed, it is a privately owned social networking and information website (just like this Immigration forum), known for its comprehensive profiling system of U.S. cities.

dubai-b kudos brother dont say a word back. (A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.)

I have no words to express myself about the skunk, anyway lets assume that he isnt here because he is full of crap and suffers from oral diarrhoea. Its a pity that he is so cheap, trivial and petty combined he doesnt seem to be what he claims.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. Just watch and see the fool running his mouth.........

Hi all,

I'm not sure why members are taking issue with Mombasa_guy's contribution. This forum is about sharing experiences, not just in applying for the GC, but also in life in the US. Not all experiences will be good, some people will fail to get the DV, we still want to hear about it, so it helps those of us still waiting to prepare better. Similarly, even for those that make it to the US, some will struggle, and we also want to know about it, so we can be realistic in our plans.

He is giving examples of what is actually happening on the ground, and I've seen this to be true. Its absolutely true that when you go to the US you can succeed and its great to know what people have done to achieve that, but it is equally true that the dream can turn out to be a nightmare and its great that he is pointing this out. And he is giving you pointers from his personal experience and what he has seen happening to people around him over the years. For instance, he suggests that instead of focusing on getting the CNA (which for most of us, is not a field we are currently involved in), consider starting to apply now to get into uni for a US degree in your currently field. For those with degrees already, maybe a post-graduate diploma may be sufficient.

Its not that your degree is inferior, but the US employer doesn't know enough about it to trust that you have the training he/she requires, so they will prioritise the US degree job applicants. But if you have the US academic documentation as well, you might even find yourself at an "advantage" over a US applicant, because you also have your work experience from here.

That said, any reference to abusive language is unwarranted, MG and all, please keep it clean. We are all just trying to help each other, but only GOD holds our future.

It's always good to hear from you.
That's a very good response :cool:
 
Thought i should share this info:
1. If your interview is slated in the coming few months i propose you buy dollars NOW! if you have the cash..the dollar tend to go up during and after elections, you can save alot by paying the Interview fees and plane ticket in dollars..
2. I noticed from the Nigerian & Ghana interview experiences, guys are really grounded in terms of questions as compared to Kenyans, i guess honesty is the key , tey dont ask so many question so expect your interview to be short..

have a blessed day guys..

Quote 4 today

“… Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.” – 1 Cor.2:9-10

I appreciate your comments where have you been we missed you:mad:
 
Just keep your Cool

Ladies and gentlemen,

I would advice that we ignore the so called Mombasa_guy and anyone who may post similar messages such as his. The more we respond the more he gets an opportunity to vent those negative/pessimistic messages.

Blessings to you all.

I agree with you lets focus on our goals which are positive lets keep the forum friendly to even new comers who will join this forum after April.
 
Today's Devotion
I believe that one must humble Him/herself before God. A practical way of doing this is to always express our gratitude to Him for everything, thanking Him in any situation we find ourselves… and praising Him in all circumstances, whether good or bad!:)
 
Guys go through 2010 forum for kenyans and check out mjamaa's experience....i think he represents what the lord can do to those who trust and wait in him.
