Sudan, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Being part owner of a property does not give you a leg up on obtaining a green card. Even if it was a commercial property, that would unfortunately not help in most cases as there is no treaty of navigation and commerce between Nigeria and the United States for purposes of long-term nonimmigrant visas like E-1 treaty trader or E-2 treaty investor. If, however, you are the part owner of a commercial business in which your share meets the requirements of the US EB-5 program for immigrant investors ($500,000 in targeted employment areas or $1 million in other areas), you may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer conversant with EB-5 cases for further advice as to how to proceed.

With a Masters in counseling and working on a PhD in family therapy, you may wish to see whether your bachelors degree is a better fit for a human resource professional job. If not, U.S.C.I.S. would be interested in the contents of your transcript to see the relevant coursework in counseling for the position. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the Department of Labor which is referenced to many times by U.S.C.I.S., human resource managers usually need a bachelors degree in human resources or business administration. Alternatively candidates can complete a bachelor’s degree in another field and take courses in human resources subjects, such as labor or industrial relations, organization development, or industrial psychology. The handbook also says that some positions are filled by experienced individuals with other backgrounds including finance, business management, education, and information technology, and that some higher-level jobs require a Masters degree in human resources, labor relations, or an MBA.

You can, but it will be difficult as you have already shown immigrant intent by filing an I-130 under the F2B category. As such, you will need to stress your ties to your home country and why you will return. It could be that you are visiting while on break from school or while on vacation from work. Round-trip tickets are always helpful along with other evidence of your ties to your home country.
