Anyone with anything concrete on this Qatar Airways 2 for 3 economy ticket promo price should kindly illuminate the house, as it is there is too many of us already. LOL

Why not open a thread for it... instead of derailing this thread.

Is this solely directed to me or myself and the last 13 posters?

Makes sense though.....just surprised you waited this long!

Please stop this Qatar Promo discussion and you know the rules... We should not derail the thread.

Yes you can do that citing expensive ticket to Florida but there's a catch do you know it's very expensive to travel with luggage in U.S? You may end up paying more than $200 for your luggage from Florida to New York so think about it properly.

Guys remember I posted this questions few weeks ago.

Glory be to God.....I am in chicago now...just few hours ago I passed through the POE of chicago.

And below is how it all went in the interview with the Cbp officer.

Cpb: Hi

Me: Good Afternoon

Cpb: What are you in US for

Me: Visiting and Vacation

Cbp: Who are you visiting

Me: My Friend

Cpb: How long have you known your friend

Me: Since Childhood

Cpb: What does he do

Me: He .......bla bla bla

Cpb: Where do you work and what do you do

Me: bla bla blaa

Cpb: How long are you staying

Me: 17 days

Cpb: Okay have a good vacation. Welcome to America

Me: Thank you



olutolafash:

Please I need your advice

I filled an address of a friend in Michigan in my DS-160 form and I got the visa.

After few days my friend told me He will be moving to Minneapolis that it will be fine if I book Minneapolis flight.

But Minneapolis was too expensive so we booked Chicago because its closer and cheaper.

He then booked a local flight for me from chicago to Minneapolis. He also gave me his utility bills for old and new address

I have seen in the thread that some people had issue at POE cos of change in address and were sent back.

Please what would you advice me to do?

I'm sure the cooked indomie is for consumption inside the plane and I hope the airline will allow you to bring it in... every other thing declare it.

Yes, we have a visa already but I wont be traveling with them now that's why I need to know how to go about the consent letter and difference between economy flex and economy semi flex (ethiopia).
Do you have a U.S visa?[/quote]

About the letter of Consent I will advice you to call the U.S embassy for clarification and also from the little I know I think you will need the children birth certificate, your husband data page, U.S visa page and means of contacting him.
I think Economy Flex option can be easily upgraded to Business class while Semi flex is cheaper and can not be easily upgraded... call the Airline to confirm.

Morning house,
I got my visa in October to go see my family.
On my ds160 I am supposed to leave on the 20th Dec for two weeks but my dad ended up getting a return ticket for 4th dec - 6th Jan cos of the bargain price $1104 to Washington because N578k is cheapest I got here. I also said I was paying for the trip tho am to fund pops naira acct here.
I raised my concern on the 2wks and Pops said I can always rescheduled my return but am a bit concerned of the Poe guys even though I can extend my leave at work.
Hope the date, duration and the payment won't affect me at Poe, and how do I defend it?
Thanks

Although most time there's always no problem but when they ask you why you extended your stay and you have no valid or good reason to give that is when it will turn to something nasty so find a good reason why you decided to extend your stay and your leave letter should be handy with contact.

Arrived JFK lastnight onboard Turkish airline. CBP was a breeze. Why are you coming to America? How long you staying? what do you do? then welcome to America.

Please house quick one, if your Carry-On allowance is 7kg, can I still have my back pack with me while i still have an hand luggage

I suggest you check the airline rules, via the website of the airline. Of google carry-on baggage allowance of the airline. In principle, 7kg is 7kg (you probably can beg off an extra to make it 8kg). Most will allow you carry a laptop and it's power supply (camera, etc) in addition to the 7kg: that can be in your backpack. But if your backpack is big, I have seen airlines asking pax to remove their laptop and they weighed the backpack/handbag in addition to the carry on.
When my carry-on is slightly over the top, I wear/carry a jacket with deep pockets, in case i need rearrange the contents.
.. you get the drift.
