Ethiopia only goes to Newark in Jersey..

Newark is less than 30 mins from manhattan,New York so newark is perfectly okay.

seyewest:


Tell them you came to hustle and that you have no plan to return.... Please don't come here again.. you're one of the reason they do not issue visa to genuine travelers to the U.S.

Oboy you well so?

We arrived at Newark, New Jersey exactly 7: pm US time via Ethiopian airline (1:am naija time). We left Lagos 11:25am got to Lome 15mins later stop over for like 30mins then proceeded to a journey of about 11hours:30mins. No problem at all at point of entry

My husband : How are you sir?

Officer : I am fine, where are you heading to?

My husband: Orlando florida

Officer: Then why newark

My husband: Ethiopia airline is fast and cheaper and no direct flight to orlando.

Officer : Are you here alone?

My husband : No with my wife, where is she? ( Meanwhile I was on the que thought other officer would have to attend to me)

We were stamped in but I didn't see any 3 or 6 month stamp o.

I just woke up in Newerk now (4:30am).

Did u book from newark to orlando before you left naija?
Also coming to orlando very soon with family.
Can you pm so i can get more information. Thanks

Good day in the house. I need an advice. The family of 4 travelled to US. If husband decided to stay and the the wife with two kids retuned to Naija will this in anyway affect the wife and the kids to revisit US anytime. Please note the wife and kids only spent 2 weeks out of 6months given

Why will the husband want to stay behind?

seyewest:

Why will the husband want to stay behind?

The husband has lost his job while wife still has job to manage with and we all know Nigeria situation.

Ok, then why is he not going back to Naija to look for another job? Why stay in US where he can't work legally anyway. He can certainly stay, as long as he has not exceeded the duration he is allowed to stay in the US.,

Let leave him for now. I am only intrested on wife returning to us anytime. Will there be any issue for them?

Why are you forcing us to comment on something that is illegal... if they got the visa together just know that his family won't get visa anymore if the husband did not apply with them his travel history stated that he's still in US ...They're on their own.

I am not forcing you. We are all here to learn and tap from wide range of experience. Happy new year in advance.

As long as the husband doesn't overstay(going beyond the 6 months given), the family will be doing fine.
Hope all is well for the family

MY OWN PORT OF ENTRY EXPERIENCE - Very Disappointing

PORT OF ENTRY - ATLANTA

EQUIPMENT - AIR FRANCE

DATE 30TH DECEMBER, 2017


So I left Nigeria through Abuja as I went to the village for funeral and Christmas. On getting to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport with my brother, I passed my bags through the scan machine, collected them at the other end and proceeded to the Air France area. 1st lady stopped me and weighed my bags and wrote the weights on the bags, then wished me a safe flight. There was a guy sitting right before the check in area who requested for my passport, flipped through and asked where I was going and I responded Atlanta. ¨Boss wetin dey for me. Drop me something na¨. I did not respond. He put a security sticker on my passport and asked me to go to check in.

Checked in my bags and collected my boarding pass with customs declaration paper where i was asked to declare how much I was carrying. I did. It was time for me to proceed to the waiting area upstairs and as i was going, i was asked by a customs guy to return the declaration paper. He looked through and started looking at me like kilode. I was just looking like I didn´t even know what was going on. Then he said oga find us something. you dey run leave us for Nigeria for this new year. I said I didnt have Naira, he said buy you fit give us from the dollars. I just ignored and said if you are done please i would like to go upstairs. He said ok and handed me the passport.

We left at 11:20 pm and arrived Paris CDG airport at 5:50am. I Had 8 hours wait for I moved to Immigration and got stamped into Paris. (I have a valid Schengen Visa). came back to the airport and went to wait for clearance. 2 men asked everyone same questions,

1. Are you travelling for business or pleasure.
2. Did you pack your bags yourself.
have a nice flight.

Oh the food on the plane from Paris to Atlanta was BAD. Couldn´t swallow it.





FINALLY WE GOT TO ATLANTA

Upon arrival, we were directed to the machines to scan our visas, and get a print out. Did mine and moved to go wait in line. It was less than 4 minutes. Finally it was my turn and the CBP beckoned at me to come.



Me: Hi
CBP: Hi. (reaching out for my passport and opens it) Do you have anything to declare?
Me: No
CBP: (stamps me in 6 months and handed my passport). Enjoy your stay




I was angry. why did you not ask me why i came, where i wil stay, what i do, if my belt fits, will i like the food here, its cold will i be ok.

I vex. I vex no be small.


anyway, the cold here no be joke sha. -11 degrees. Sun will be shinning like this but it´s not like Nija sun that can fry plantain. This sun is weak.







I went out to buy a sim card yesterday o, the guy says $40. I paid and he said they were doing a promo so I was entitled to a phone. Na the phone i dey use browse since o. A cute Samsung phone looking like an iPhone 7.


People here are randy sha! chaaaaiii everywhere you go, someone is very willing

but I don't think thecongo2 derailed by answering, the question is about POE, if the husband stays back a little longer and the rest return, will the wife and kids have issues at POE when next they are visiating the US?


Thecongo2, how is the snow? My kids are willing to tell the CPB officer that we want to see snow

Well it's not like they shared their POE experience here while the question is about status and what they're trying to do is illegal and you know it so it makes no sense trying to help them.

You can't drive with the Nigerian drivers license.... Its better you process the international drivers license before coming down. It is acceptable for international drivers during their short stay. It normally takes few days in processing... All you need is your current drivers license, 2passport photographs and processing fee...... I hope this helps?

seyewest, at least for this one let's try to agree to disagree
Otg001 or oketg indicated that at the POE, a family of 4 were given permission to stay in the States for 6 months.
After 2 weeks, the wife decided to return to Nigeria with the kids while the husband stay behind.
What is illegal about that? So long as the husband doesn't go beyond the 6 months, there is nothing wrong.
I have seen that you have been throwing a lot the word illegal on many posts and you have been accusing people without any proof.
What happened to the presumption of innocence?
