Ambassador Abimbola , a proud Eminent Peace Ambassador, in her quest to join in the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, has decided to render FREE Consultative services on immigration issues as a qualified immigration representative here in USA. According to her assertion,as presented in my discuss during the courtesy visit to the Nigeria Mission house to UN in New York, one of the reasons why President Trump is treatning to place a ban on Nigeria from entrying America and also reduce entry stay to 3months is because alot of Nigerians over stay thier visas, and some dont know the right measures to take to maintain a good status while they are here. If this is prevented, thier wouldnt be a misrepresentation of our immigration status image globally, and since people travel to America for economic reasons, it will help to create ,stable work force ( not working under the table), proper income and tax generation and unstrained bilateral relationship between both countries etc. This is her contribution towards the SDGs and IAWPA is proud to front this legacy.
