Precisely! In addition in Atlanta,, u must also retrieve yr luggage n check it back in. I don't think u can transit into US soil without a (transit) visa, unless yr country doesn't need entry visa...like d Canadians he mentioned. Moreover airlines won't airlift u without d appropriate entry docs!
My humble submission

timpaker:
[b]Mine was last year September,
I was to attend a graduation party of a friend in New York. I applied for Visa through my the Abuja Office and when they called me for an interview, I wasn't feeling too well but went all the same. I stood for about 3 hours with empty stomach on a queue so long like cars during fuel scarcity.
A girl (a buttee) whom I was chatting saw the way I was leaning on the wall took pity/interest in me asked me what the matter was, and I told her I wasn't feeling too well and was hungry also. She told me to secure her line while she went to get me food but before she got back, my interview was over and my visa approved. I stood outside waiting for her while about 7 people had gone in and when she came back I told the people that she was on the queue before and that she just went to get me food - pointing to the food pack on my hand... for where, dem no gree.
She told me to eat my food that she'll handle it well. I started eating the rice and fish while chipping in points in their argument.
Long story short... She got angry and called someone from State House/VILLA and within 5 mins her name was called, she entered and didn't spend up to 5mins and her visa was approved. She came out booing the people on queue and decided to walk me to the car while I enquired why she didn't pull her connect from the beginning and allowing us stand that long. She smiled and said "At times you need to avoid showing off" (I don't know what she meant by that. She demanded we exchange contacts... Just when I stretched my hand to collect her phone.........I puked on her and those people on the queue just started laughing at us.
I just use shame enter my car zoom off....

They are all mad in the US Embassy and also silly.Do they think their country is heaven? With all the stupid strict measures preventing people from going into their useless country,there are still very many illegal immigrants there. Our people in this country are just morons and fools. Why would someone be desperate to go to US; gets denied at the embassy then starts begging. They are just disgracing us in this country. Most of our people there are just suffering and indirectly developing their useless economy there. They left their own country here to go become slaves in US or other countries all in the name of what.

If there country was all that better economically, why the hell are the bastards coming to Nigeria to invest. Awon Oloshi!!!

EvilSeeed:



Please check Nairaland Travel thread well..

Their is a guy that works at the Embassy that has a thread here where he answers all these questions..

CFCfan:

Also, even if u are on transit in the US, you'd still need to clear customs and immigration; unlike some other countries.

otiigba1:
i wonder why they do that though? its not like the US is your destination same thing i had to do while travelling to Hawaii from the UK

See lies

ferdiii:

See lie... no transit visa again?

Boss13:


Yes they do background checks I can confirm that. They check your financial status (Embassy Enquiries) and confirm it with financial institutions. For people who cook up financial details or especially when the account do not belong to you. Just don't waste your time, you would be denied.

CFCfan:


I would still say the US infrastructure, justice system, is still superior to what obtains in Nigeria. There is little basis of comparison there.

However, the US is not the economic eldorado it once was. 100s of Americans are yearly renouncing their US citizenship, including Facebook co-founder, Sergei Brin.

ionsman:
I was at the south african embassy last week.When asked my reason for travelling,I told them the truth.Am going there to sample all those big southie babes as.s I see on tv.....

Boss13:


Chief that's because you got a job and your company must have done a letter of introduction. So they know you have a reliable source of income and you wont run away. Hence, hotel and tour package mean nothing to them because if you are serious, you will definitely sort that out.

Daresh:


That is not how Delta works. Atlanta is their hub, and they do not go direct to Canada from Lagos. You MUST , I emphasize the MUST, disembark clear immigration, and do a plane switch. You cannot clear immigration without a visa. This is my job, I know how it works. He's a liar

What nonsense! I pray throughout my life, i never have to beg someone for the chance to enter another country. I love Nigeria to a fault and i'm not freaked about anywhere else. If i really need to travel somewhere else, for school perhaps, i still wouldn't beg anybody...i'd rather forget about that school.

NIGERIA is the best place to be.

do you know they have a Protocol Officer in State House, as in the one that does all the Visa application for GEJ's entourage? Dude, abeg do your research wella.

Please stop lying, those traveling with GEJs will be holding red passports, they don't need visa,

Those who do will not be queuing for visa at US embassy, its express with note verbale

dotman2460:
Not all carry red passports. State Security Service officials, medical personnel, State House correspondence (journos) do not carry red passport. And they need visa.

SSS do not carry red passport while on official foreign trip ?

dotman2460:


Official passport is not red. Only diplomatic is red. And they need visa.

Not always, some countries allow visa free entry to diplomatic passport holders.

Even when they do you will never see them queuing for visa or attending visa interview because somebody in the ministry will deal with all that.
