He travelled to the US in 2019. That was his second time travelling. Before relocating to America, he had travelled to Dubai, Singapore, and other countries.

He got a visa after he married a white woman who was an American citizen. He has one child with the woman now. They are separated now, but Solomon said he plays a crucial role in his son’s life.

“America has changed my life. In the same four years, I have my Associate Degree In Automotive Technology.”

After working as a driver in the Lift app for some years, Solomon now works as a part-time truck driver. He is still in school, hoping to get another degree.

"Truck driving is a lucrative business. Some people make about $150,000 every year from the company. I can say that when I deduct taxes and everything I need to set aside, I make $6000 a month.”
