Okay our consular information is outdated and I need your help to update. Go to the link and read. Come back here and let me know the updated information (forms, places, numbers) and I will updated all at one time instead of many people trying to update the same information.

If there is good information you think needs to be there let me know that also.

Thank you for your input and time.

**NOTE: to other countries you should do the same on your portal information. I see some countries do not even have any Consular information. And many countries your information is outdated also. Go look and update and help others.

Actually you usually can NOT drive your spouses car with a foreign drivers licence and many states have a very short period before you need a licence from that state. I know California does NOT recognize Nigerian drivers licencees and only will recognize international ones for 10 days after you "move" to California

Also motorization is about the validity of a signature is is not needed for copies of passport pages.

Ohio is the same way as Cali...have to take the driver's exam and driver's test before granting a license, and they do not recognize foreign licenses.

Hi everyone! I just want to thank the entire VisaJourney-Nigeria members for their supports and encouragements via updated posts, quick responds and current information in regards to my CR-1 VISA APPROVAL.

Subsequently, it is my pleasure to congratulates those in the Immigrant Visa Category of this forum, and who's visa has been approved at the US Consulate General Office, Lagos-Nigeria between January and February respectively.

However, can anyone get me the Nigeria members' phone number for whatsapp group chat on this forum???

Thanks!
