I am Kenyan. I came to United States on a student visa. When I landed to United States I only had 500 dollars. I was never hosted and I made it. The stories of people who had difficulties settling down in United States are not common. If you get your visa, you will make it.

Really dont know what they were up to. Came to the US with only 200 dollars after being jobless in kenya for 4trs and bila makaratasi but made it. I was ready hata nikiambiwa nilime mitaro kwa mashamba,nifanye mjengo. Nilikuwa nimechoka na ukosefu wa kazi kenya na kushindwa kulisha family.Quick job without minding my class did dish wahing under the table,carpentry building stairs ,maintenace in a hotel and anything to put aa dollar in my pocket and sending money every month to my wife. Put my self back in university graduated working many hours and finushed my masters degree in public health became a citizen,bought two houses and brought my wife and kids. It's just your vision in life and strategy. You can make or fail in the US with no vision but chances of making it are 90% especially in smaller towns. Dont go to big cities like NY

I am a South African and we came to the US for school too during apartheid. I’ll advise people to go to small towns in states like Utah, Maine and taking any jobs may be a starting point. Avoid expensive states like NYC or California. Hard work and good education pays off at the end. Indeed, home is the best place but we Africans also have a right to seek opportunities else where.

I think she was going through post natal depression and I was the one person she would unleash her fury to. Our relationship has never been the same almost 20 years down the road. But I'm happy to say that despite my rough start, I got a masters degree and a great job in my field. I was determined not to give up.

I went to study in USA for my masters degree in Oregon in 1988. I was young and single then. But it never occurred to me that I would like to stay. Part time work was meant for fun and not survival. I had a job in agricultural research and our government scholarship. I later got a teaching job and obtained a doctoral degree. I passed through all my school life from primary to doctoral degree under government sponsorship but one has to stand out of the group and that's how the system was in our country. I m now retired and enjoying out here. We have 3 children and all have used government scholarships to pass through university. It is not as bad in Africa in most careers if you see anything positive in our countries. I see many foreigners coming to our country and making it. Just do what foreigners do in Africa and you will make it.

They had way too high expectations & failed to keep an open mind when relocating to the USA plus California is very expensive for a start. Why was the mom going to school full time instead of part time and work part? It was very poor planning & high expectations on their part.

Depends with where you get your host. Sometimes we don’t have control of where we start life in America because it’s where we get the host and it’s not easy to get one.

@@essiewakago Essie Kenyans need to wake up before they get on the plane & as soon as they arrive to the USA there are very few friends/hosts. My host kicked me out after 1 months & I had my 4 yr old child with me but I still made it with lots of sacrifices & hard work & fought my way up, so this thing of "host" Kenyans need to forget it, as the host is a regular Kenyan working probably 2 jobs to pay bills. As soon Kenyans land in the USA they need to quickly find any job that can pay a studio apt or find a roommate don't expect to be hosted, that's the reality my dear.

If you are Ghanian and applying from Ghana, and if Ghana is eligible then your good to go. Please ensure to check and read the DV requirement for further understanding.

Hi guys. Quick question… after getting the Green Card on the DV Lottery system and you go back to your home country, can you still go back to the States as a citizen/Green Card holder? I mean, would that visa still be valid?
@ndouglas32945 ай бұрын
Yes. You can travel back and forth with a greencard. However, you have a limit of how long you could stay at your home country...I think 6 months.

Essie Wakago! Friendly Vlogging advice....and Audio advice when you are doing interviews. The microphone belongs to the person you are interviewing. You don't even need to be in the picture frame. The story belongs to the person you are interviewing. Get 2 microphones, 2 Cameras if it is absolutely important forr you to be seen and heard.
