No we did not ignore you... we've many instances about Etihad on this thread which you can go through... Just for info do you know that the POE is in Abu Dhabi not U.S.A so you will be screened and stamped in Abu Dhabi by U.S CBP officer.
How long is your layover?[/quote]

The Youth Assembly is for four days... Then the remaining 17 days will be in Austin.


seyewest:

How many days will you be spending in U.S and you can use another hotel so far it's hotel.. just confirm the reservation before leaving Nigeria.
Use the hotel address and let them know you're in U.S for United Nation youth Assembly if you will be staying for more than 20 days you can take food stuffs just take it easy because I normally don't like that.

The only issue, apart from in-flight service which I don't know about, would be having check in your tablets and laptops

Morning house,a first time traveler to USA.I will be traveling middle of September 2017 for just 15 days training program,return on 30th September 2017. Ticket already booked and my Traveling document (International passport) will expire in December 2017.Can I travel with the passport? or I should renew before traveling so that I would have any issue at POE.

You should be fine. Your travel dates are before the expiration date of your passport.

EgyptAir will lodge you in either of 2 hotels (Novotel and one other one I can't remember the name) not far from the Airport.

The food at Novotel is better that the other hotel's.

Be sure to be at the lobby on time for your pick-up by the next morning else you could miss your flight to JFK.

10:15pm of course but where are you going to because sometimes you may see cheap flight to your destination unless you have a lot of luggages
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by Seg05: 4:01pm On Jul 26, 2017
Thanks coefficient, guess you are a regular travel on that route.


@seyewest and Coefficient, pls can I see(feed my eyes) the city for 2 or 3hrs before my next flight on a long layover. Either through British airways or Egyptair? smiley

Abeg help me oo, my interview is next week friday and i don do error for my form.

i filled Museum address as place of stay and contact address in the U.S instead of the hotel address.
Please gurus in the house,
1. is there a way i can resolve this on the form
2. And if i fill a new form and disregard the old form, how would i sort out the issue of barcode, cos am sure it won't match with the appointment confirmation again?
2. Or i can go to the interview like that and defend it claiming it's an error when i was filling the form?
3. Wont this hinder my interview success, cos i know 'where will you be staying in the US?' is usually a common question.

Please Gurus, help me.

Good Evening all, please I need some advice. Will an F1 visa holder be required to show where he will be permanently residing at POE? I plan to book a place (hotel or inn or airbnb) for just one week, and then sort out my apartment after arrival. Hope this will not be a red flag as I filled university campus on my DS-160, but had to change to an off campus residence.
