POE: DFW, Dallas

CBP: Why r u here?

Me: Vacation (Chorused me and wifey)

CBP: Travel documents pls

Me: Gave him. Including my son's US passport.

CPB: Looked at my son and requested for zero balance receipt from hospital. Wifey handed him the receipts. At this point my son cringed and hid behind me.

Son: Daddy?

Me: Yes son

Son: Is he gonna arrest me for being naughty?

Me: (keeping a straight face) Yes. That's exactly what he's gonna do. I warned you.

Son: Oh my!!!! (He held his mum and started crying)

CBP: Started laughing so hard. Beckoned at his colleague to come see a hilarious li'l man. Didn't check any document, stamped us in for 6months and told my son he made his day.

You are lucky they didn't allow you move
You would have been deported via next available flight.

Ask me questions I can help reply them

Not even for American pali

They changed their rules
To get Mozambique visa
You have to send your passport down to Mozambique via DHL
Then the recipient would process the visa for you by sending it to border where visa is available
Eg tanzania,Malawi or Zimbabwe boarder

na so we see am ooo
Its kind off stressful and also you would be cleared on arrival grin
Like settle immigration officer that would clear you becos that visa is for road boarder not air

Only one with Resident permit can come in and enter anytime
But for visa
Either you enter from neighboring countries or tiy enter direct and face the risk
