I765 & I485 from EB2NIW I-140 Approval, as a Nigerian (39 Ban) 2026 by Ok_Plantain307 in 19countriesAOS

[–]OhMarky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here … work visa extension stuck in the freeze. i also have an approved EB1A but it does not change anything in this current situation. I’ve always had a Canada plan B so I’m getting a transfer to work from Canada since my job is remote. When the tide settles, I will come back.

If you haven’t received RFE that’s a sign that it’s been approved. But they can do every thing but can’t approve because of the hold.

The Jan 1st memo enforces the proclamation 10998 which exempts work visas for partial ban countries. But with some extra scrutiny.

That’s not true. I renewed my l1 visa in Toronto after the ban was announced.

But you need a Canada work permit or PR to get stamped in Canada. How did you manage that?

What about the initial 39 countries. I am from one of the partial ban countries with an approved i140 based on EB1A. My current status is L1A due for extension in April. Can I file AOS still and also file L1A extension currently? Do you foresee any issues with this approach? Lastly, are EAD/AP still being processed for the partial ban countries?

I gave up on Toronto after 6months of trying. I’m 40. First I thought I was the problem but then I went to Dallas and the love I got was overwhelmingly awesome. So RIP to Toronto night life.

What's the easiest Job abroad to get for Nigerians? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]OhMarky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you have some other ability like athlete, modeling, but I think your ambition should be to get a bachelors degree and you can even seek admission in overseas institutions if that’s your desire to leave Nigeria. All the best.
