Yes she can buy a one way ticket. However the snail must be checked in and not in hand luggage. Hope she deep fry the snail too.

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 bill for the new address

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

Please what would you advice me to do?

Yes there maybe problem for people who are unprepared. The utility bill is a good idea and make like 2 copies just in case... explain clearly why you're not flying to Michigan anymore... I'm sure there won't be any problem.
safe journey.

Lol! Now travelers to the US with truthful intensions who were given the visa on the purpose they presented to the VO shouldn't worry about the strict Chicago CBP officers they might come across.


I want to believe that it's those whose true hidden untruthful intensions might be exposed will find Chicago POE strict and want to avoid.

I don't think so... They may be strict but that does not translate to deportation. Be truthful.

please excuse my ignorance, but when you have a layover flight with over 3 hours stop who pays for the hotel bill in that country, or do you wait in the airport?

You're not ignorant actually the rules is that any passenger with more than 8.5 hours stopover should be provided with a hotel room but some airline said for that deal to work there must not be an onward flight to the passenger destination.
For 3 hours stop over get a magazine or movie to watch better still move to your gate and chill till it's time for your flight... there will be no hotel stay for 3 hours stop over.

Haba! ORD POE is not that bad. At least as long as you are truthful. As someone that resides here, I come through there quite often. I Just came through there last week on BA, on a flight itinerary that originated in Lagos (2 hour layover in London). I had zero problems. I was not even sent to Agriculture. Even though he asked, and I told him what food items I had. I did notice that Most of the Nigerians that originated from Lagos on that flight, and attended to by the other officer there, were sent to Agriculture though.

You need a valid reason for not traveling to Chicago in August and apart from that confirm your hotel booking before leaving Nigeria and declare any food item you're carrying. Safe Journey.
