Good day everyone,

Got into the US through Seattle airport. From where i moved to my destination. Only to discover that one of my bags (a ghana must go bag, properly wrapped with a cellophane) missing. I contacted the airline. And was told that it is with the US custom and boàrder protection. It's been 4 days and they are yet to release it.

Please, who has experienced such type of thing before? How long did it take them to release it.

I only have my shoes, toiletries, cloths and a textbook inside the bag.

VISA APPROVAL TESTIMONY

On the 10th of June 2021 I was denied US visa at the Lagos embassy. I couldn’t say the exact reason why i was denied. This was my first attempt.
I was so frustrated and I left the embassy in pains.
When I got home I paid for another visa fee and started looking for date. I didn’t see date in Lagos so i moved my search to Abuja. I saw October 24th in Abuja, I picked it and applied for Expedited appointment, it was approved within 24 hours and I got a new date for 9th of August, 2021.
On the 8th of August I got to Abuja via Arik Airline and lodged at St. Matthias Hotel.
My interview date (9th of August) came and I went to the embassy. I was interviewed by a slim white lady with blonde hair.
See my transcript below :

V.O : you are going to **** for masters in computer science
Me : yes please with focus on Information security.
V.O : what do you do currently?
Me : I explained
V.O : what will you do after the degree?
Me : I explained
V.O : who’s your sponsor ?
Me : My Maternal uncle. He works as a Business project manager in New Jersey
(V.o cuts in )
V.O : but during your last interview you said Cousin
Me : (I was already shaking) I can’t remember maybe that was a misrepresentation but my sponsor is my mummy’s brother that’s my maternal uncle
V.O : typing….. she looked at me and said he lives and works in New Jersey
Me: Yes
AND THE VO GAVE ME WHITE PAPER…….
I bursted into joy ……God showed up for me. To say I was denied 2 months earlier. I’m grateful I didn’t give up.
This is to encourage everyone here to keep pushing and I want to advise that not everything you read online is correct information, if I asked people they will say don’t reapply immediately after first denial, some will say if you have family abroad don’t fill it on your Ds160. My elder sister is a US CITIZEN and I filled in her details and my sponsor lives in New Jersey.
Don’t listen to people, fill your ds160 truthfully.
God will always show up, he makes all things beautiful in his own time.
See you in America ��. To God Alone be all the glory �.

It's nothing. You guys won't disembark (come down from the plane). It's a technical stop over. Maybe refuelling. I'm flying same ethiopian airline and have same in my itinerary too. I called wakanow and they cleared me on this. The ground time simply means the time u guys will spend on ground while technical work is being done. After the 1 hr u guys fly back enroute chicago.
