It’s the Trump Effect...

Since he came on board, he has managed to turn most things upside down...

Even the MAVIN Program has been discontinued...

I know a couple of Nigerian Students who came into the United States on F-1 Student Visa & we’re able to join the Army through the MAVIN Program during President Barack Obama regime, they all became citizens within one year...

But Trump came on board & eliminated the program...

Depending on how late he's coming, he can catch the 11pm Greyhound Bus to Detroit, that's some 16hrs+ journey though, costs maybe less than $70.

I guess paying $70 by Bus is better than paying $150+ by flight...

He just has to make a decision between Price & Comfort...

Mayflowa:
When last did you fill the the ds-160? I just filled one last week and there wasn't social media account.

I filled one on Friday for a relative & there is a section to list all social media account...

seyewest:
If travel is less than 6 hours by road I rather choose bus instead of flight.

New York City to Detroit, Michigan is definitely more than 6 hours by road...

It should be around 18 hours by Greyhound considering the stops along the way to pick up & drop off passengers plus also breaks in between the journey so people can eat as well as stretch their legs...

Mayflowa:
You have a way of bullying people with your debate. You need to tone down. We are not fighting. It’s just a proposal. No one yet has submitted his or social media account. Of course Consular officers and employers many times refer to applicant social media accounts to know more about the candidates’ character.

Hardly would the policy of submitting social media account be effected. More so, there is ethical concerns in doing that and continues to be a debate amongst policy makers. The world also have a say when America is going beyond line of comfort. Immigration is an international affair. That’s why America keeps accepting Asylum Applications till date.

It’s no longer a proposal...

It has now been effected...

It’s a requirement when filling out a non-immigrant visa application...

Fortunately for you can get a ticket for Detroit in JFK if it's cheap but if not that means your domestic flight will leave from LGA. There's no subway or train that goes directly to LaGuardia. Instead, you need to follow one of these options. While JFK is only about 10 miles from LaGuardia Airport, it can cost up to $45 with a private car service or taxi between both airports. Fortunately, there is NYC Airporter, the only airport bus authorized by The Port Authority of NY & NJ. For only $17, you can board from all terminals at both. Travel time is about 1 hr, remember NYC traffic can be hectic, so please allow for extra travel time between flights.

He can also take a Greyhound Bus from New York City to Detroit Michigan...

It’s cheaper but albeit a longer journey...

He just needs to compare & contrast Price versus Time and then make an ultimate decision...

Okay nice.. I would do just that.. Please, any idea the cost of a night hotel in newyork. I arrive late and NYCairporter bus service have closed by then.

You can also order either Uber OR Lyft...

Just download both apps on your cellphone & you’re good to go...

Take the New Jersey Transit to New Jersey & then commute from New Jersey to New York City by Trains...

Hotels are generally expensive in New York City...

You’re better then off staying in Newark, Elizabeth OR Linden & then commute into New York City by Trains...

NIFES:
Of course there was!

My sister and her 3 kids had this stamped on their passports in 2016.

All of a sudden everyone now knows someone that has a NO A0S/EOS Stamp on their Passport...

One of the reasons why I no longer take Nairaland serious...

Why didn't y'all speak out when it started happening?

You know ticket prices are quite high at the moment and people prefer to learn from this thread and not give back to people who needed to learn.
As per your trip, I believe your intending Airline is Emirates and if it will be flying from Abuja I believe the Emirates Connect is possible, if from Lagos I think you should do the 3 days transit.
By the way which City are you flying to?

@Seyewest

Do you still assist people with obtaining a Dubai Visit Visa?

Me & my girlfriend will be visiting Dubai early next year & she needs a Visa since she’s a Nigerian Citizen while I don’t need one since I’m a United States Citizen.

Like how much will a Travel Package including Visa, Flight & Accommodation cost both of us for a two weeks vacation stay in Dubai & are there any discounts available?

@Seyewest

Is 3 days Transit possible?

I thought the maximum you’re allowed is two days?

I booked my Trip for December back to Nigeria with Etihad Airways & was granted the Abu Dubai Stopover

My trip is New York ~ London ~ Abu Dhabi ~ Lagos

I will arrive Abu Dhabi on Wednesday Morning & then leave for Lagos on Friday Morning...

So technically I only got two days...

maddock:
No AOS, EOS, COS is not a new phenomenon na..Just google "no aos on passport" and you would see cases since far back 2007. That chap whose passport is trending probably had issues and until we start hearing other cases it might just be an isolated case.

Like I said before this trend is an isolated case not a normal phenomenon...

OmoBendel24:
Just a quick check, 2016. I somehow just remembered this came up before, the OP however has deleted his previous posts and images. There’s a trail left though

Those are isolated cases...

She was making it seems like the No AOS/EOS was a normal occurrence during Former President Barack Obama Term...

Heck even during Former President Barack Obama Term people never encountered so many problems as regards to the low cost of birthing in the United States compared to when President Donald J Trump became President...

Those problems started cropping up once President Donald J Trump stated that most people where abusing their B-2 Visa & he intends on revoking Birthright Citizenship...

Eze2000:
One of the richest women in the world is a 21-year-old American girl who sells only cosmetics. She has just 6 employees including her mother as a PR agent and is worth over $1 billion.

The only things in this world that sell more than cosmetics are phones, software, PCs... that's it

We’re talking about Cosmetics in a Nigerian Market...

You can’t compare it to Cosmetics in an International scene...

Do you know many followers Kylie Jenner has compared to Tonto Dikeh?

Kylie has over 136 Million followers on Instagram only...

Tonto Dikeh doesn’t even have up to 5 Million followers on Instagram...

sonofElElyon:
Naira, not dollars...

So how do they intend on making #100 Million from selling just cosmetics in a year?

This must certainly be a PR Stunt...

If not, then how do they plan to recoup $100 Million from selling just cosmetics for a year?

Beautyaddy:
lol!...I know you will doubt it.

You've seen it all and know it all, shey?

Anyways, I also still maintain that such notations have been giving to some foreigners by the US CBP at the border if they have some doubts at the reasons why they are visiting the US.

One last word for you: PROVE IT

Beautyaddy:
Both False!

There was... and I know of family members who got those notations on their passports.

In fact, some of them were also deported and their visa cancelled during Obama's term.

If they were deported, then there shouldn’t be a notation like No AOS/EOS

The correct notation when you’re deported & your Visa cancelled at the border entry should be CANCELED WITH PREJUDICE

So your tales proves that there’s a possibility that you might be making false statements...

Beautyaddy:
Both False!

There was... and I know of family members who got those notations on their passports.

In fact, some of them were also deported and their visa cancelled during Obama's term.

I highly doubt it...

Why don’t you post a picture to support your claims like the previous poster did?

I still maintain my stand that there was absolutely nothing like No AOS/EOS during Former President Barack Obama Term...

Beautyaddy:
lol!...This is not just happening under Trump's administration though.

We should remember that it's already in the US immigration laws that the US CBP admits foreigner at their discretion...which could be from one week, one month and not necessary 6 months.

Yes, it’s happening under President Donald J Trump Administration...

During Former President Barack Obama Administration there was nothing like No AOS/EOS...

During his term people were allowed to switch from B-1 to F-1 as long as you find a school willing to allow enrollment & file the necessary paper work with USCIS usually takes anywhere from 6 months to 1 year

Under Former President Barack Obama Administration people could enter with a B-1 Visa & adjust to Permanent Residence as long as they find a partner who’s willing to file the necessary paper work & the relationship is genuine...

There was absolutely nothing like No AOS/EOS during Former President Barack Obama term as President of the United States...

dora2007:
PLS OO, WHICH ONE IS AOS AND EOS.

AOS: Adjustment of Status

EOS: Extension of Stay

No AOS/EOS: No Adjustment of Status/Extension of Stay

So you required to depart the United States at the end of your Authorized Stay no extension of Stay/Adjustment of Status allowed...

It’s funny when I listen to folks say that Former President Barack Obama never did anything for the Black Man while he was in office...

But what most people fail to realize was that President Barack Obama actions was frustrated & blocked by the Republicans led House & Senate...

Even House Leader Mitch McConnell said & I quote “My number priority is to make President Barack Obama a one term President”

President Barack Obama didn’t have any other option but to use Executive Decision to push through his landmark Signature Accomplishments...

President Barack Obama Accomplishment on Immigration:

A) The Marvin Program: I know a lot of people even personally here from Nairaland who joined the United States Military & immediately became U.S. Citizens within 6 months to 1 year...

B) DACA Program: This is mainly for undocumented immigrants who where brought to the United States as kids. A lot of Mexicans & Spanish people benefited immensely from this program...

C) TPS Program: This is mainly for individuals from worn torn countries & areas of natural disasters like Earthquake i.e. Haiti & Sudan

Now ask yourself what has President Donald J Trump done for people in Regards to immigration absolutely nothing...

There’s a reason he is known as destroyer in chief

A) He signed a Legislation effectively banning foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim Countries from entering the United States

B) He wants to rescind & eliminate the Obama era DACA Program

C) He also wants to rescind & eliminate the Obama era TPS Program

Even when it comes to the economy, President Donald J Trump is simply taking credit for the Great Economy left by Former President Barack Obama & Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke

Former President Barack Obama inherited a worst economy from Former President W. Bush but was able to turn the economy around during his 8 year tenure as President of the United States including overseeing the Great Recession in 2008...

By the time, he left office the Economy of the United States was definitely in the right trajectory...

It’s very funny when I listen to folks make mention that President Donald J Trump has done more for Blacks than Former President Barack Obama did during his 8 year stint as the President of the United States...

That simply shows me that most people are unable to make an independent research for themselves & can easily be brainwashed...
