My poe story, Atlanta
I used Delta airlines onthe 15th of December,Lagos to Atlanta. We got into Atlanta around 5.15am and had to wait about 15 minutes for the cbp officials to resume.

Since it was a direct flight from Nigeria,i went to pee first so that some people would go first. When i came out the line had diversified with people from all over. I watched two Nigerians get called for secondary, chai i started calling on God to have mercy. Then it was my turn.
Cbp: goodmorning. I replied him
what are you here for?
Me: Vacation, then I gave a little pause and added and chidbirth. He then asked how long I intend to stay, i said 3and half months.He said why that long? I said I wanted to come while i was still fit to fly.
He looked at me and said why here? I said i had medical issues with this pregnancy thats why i came and also the citizenship it offers my baby.
It was a black cbp official.
cbp official: Have you made any payments to the hospital?
Me:No,will make some deposit when i get in and my husband is coming 2 weeks before my due date.
cbp :when are you due?
Me: told him
cbp: How much do you have with you?
Me: 4k dollars
cbp:Final destination?
Me: Chicago.
cbp: enjoy your stay and stamped me in for six months. It can only be God.
Picked my luggage and made my way to my connecting flight. No bag search,no request for documents. It was my second time in the US and my visa expires in January.
Thanks to people who posted their experiences.

Thank you very much.
