one of the few people that I have known/worked with (in the military) that could be called a "African American" would be this girl that lived in Nigeria for her first 18 years. She moved to New York speaking no English and joined the Navy 3-4? years later. She spoke quite passable English and still had her green card last I knew (which was when I was discharged in honourably discharged in '99).
Also have met (at work) two born and raised Africans (From Kenya and I forget where else) who have been in the States less than four months/one year. One of them is on a student visa, not sure about the other fellow
