Kai! NEVER in your life make this type of mistake. You are lucky you met kindhearted officers. Na for plane on your way back home you for de type this. You need to know the contents of your bags. You also need to know the type of foodstuff allowed into the country you are heading to. Just pray your name hasn't been flagged.

Menh...not easy oo
I was so embarrassed because I didn’t pack the bags myself.

megastu:
They will also include your name on their system and anytime you pass through they will stop you to ask for foodstuff. Lucky you.

I landed Boston logan airport some hours ago.

Me: Hey Good afternoon, how’s it going?
CBP: I’m doing good, where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos Nigeria
CBP: purpose of visit
Me: Business and Visiting my Elder Brother
CBP: How long are you staying for
Me: 3 weeks

She asked me to remove my face mask and captured me
Cbp: Apart from the last time you visited the US, have you been to the US before?

Me: No.
Cbp stamps my passport for 6months.

I went to baggage claim and was referred to Agriculture specialists. men those guys drilled me

CBP: Do you have any fruits or meat?
Me: Nope (I didn’t know my Mum packaged garden egg and Yam for my Elder Brother), the cbp checked and saw garden egg, yam and ungrounded Egusi.
He told a white CBP lady to depose all the Egusi and the reason was because I didn’t grind it.
He asked me where I did covid test , I said in a private Laboratory in Benin City Nigeria, then he said some Nigerians pay 50k and get fake covid Report from the airport, as I was about replying he said I shouldn’t bother to argue about it so he doesn’t take it further and his friend who is a Nigerian told him.
The CBP guy said he would have fined me $300 for bringing those stuffs but this is gonna be like a warning and next time I will be fined.
He scanned my passport and told me to go.

B1/B2 change of status application is usually accompanied with an Extension of status form. If you file a change of status and an extension of status application on time, you will be in pending status

bigfrancis21:


1) No school here will permit you to study with a B1/B2 visiting visa....a violation of the law.

2) B1/B2 status to F1 status change in the US has really low approval rates, like really low, because you have to prove to USCIS beyond reasonable doubt why you suddenly want to study in the US and that you previously never had any intention of studying. As a matter of fact, you stand a better chance of returning to Nigeria and obtaining your F1 visa at the US embassy in Nigeria than obtaining a change of status here in the US (takes forever to get a response on your application and you stand a chance of falling out of your B1/B2 status while you wait).

Who told you that? Where did they write it on the B1?

Malone122:
I don’t think one can change status from a B1 to F1
It’s written on the B1

Do a change a status to F1. You don’t need to go back to Nigeria

JaySterling:
Hey guys

Quick question!

I’m currently in the states. I entered 2 months ago with a B1/B2 visa for a conference.

I was stamped in 6 months at the POE.

Now I wanna study, but the school I went to here in Illinois told me that I cannot attend the graduate program (MBA) I intend to study with a B1/B2 visa, that I need an F1.

So guys, can I apply for an F1 visa here in the states, or I will have to return to Nigeria and apply for it.

Basically, starting all over

Or can anyone recommend me any school in the states that would allow me do my masters in business administration with my B1/B2 visa. I’m currently in Chicago, but I don’t mind relocating to another state, so far a school there will accept me.

Is a US visa with 3 months validity still valid?

fkj950ax:


Even next week is fine.

You didn't answer flourishing247 question

You travel through the Middle East

fetomowo:



Please, does anyone know if transiting through Europe ( CDG, AMS, LHR) will constitute a violation of the US covid 19 protocols?

If yes what is the advisable thing to do, travel through Qatar or UAE, or even North Africa to JFK?

Please kindly advise. Thanks

Bro...I heard all airlines are demanding the rapid covid 19 test at the airport now!!! Is this true??

gw4s:
Today, I travelled from Nigeria to Dubai on Emirates. However, what happened at our international airport in Lagos can only be called a national insult! After fulfilling all requirements and having a valid negative COVID-19 test from a Nigerian hospital, the Dubai government released new regulations insisting all travellers from Nigeria must take another COVID-19 test on Nigerian soil – which they were in charge of – before we would be allowed to fly. To add further insult to injury, they contracted individuals from the Kenyan government to conduct the test, which was charged at an equal amount to the test already done in Nigeria!

In other words, what they are doing effectively makes the initial Nigerian test invalid and questions the integrity of Nigeria’s government and medical system. They are rudely reckoning that all the tests conducted within Nigeria are fake and should be discarded. What an insult! I am not saying the UAE government should not facilitate another test for COVID-19 if they insist – but why not do it when passengers arrive in Dubai? Why are you doing it in the soil of Nigeria? Is that not an insult? If there are some test results that are discovered to be fake, then take appropriate actions against the perpetrators. But to conclude that all tests originating in Nigeria are counterfeit is simply offensive. The Nigerian government should do something about this before it’s too late. This is sadly another example of ‘colonialism’ – the Dubai government entering inside Nigeria’s airport (without any official permit) and making it mandatory for our citizens to do another test before flying.

They additionally announced that no airline can carry passengers from Nigeria to Dubai if the journey is not a direct flight, effectively ruling out all carriers except Emirates. Now, I understand that tourism is Dubai’s number one source of revenue and they stand to gain a lot from the popular Nigeria-Dubai route – but why then do they also insist on enforcing a second COVID-19 test in Nigeria’s airport? Will it be written that this test was conducted on the soil of Nigeria by the government of Dubai? Why is it only the nation of Nigeria where this is being enforced? Well, if Dubai’s government insist on such draconian measures, this is the time to protest! If no Nigerian visits Dubai for one single month, I am convinced their tune would quickly change, they would do the right thing and this offensive new law would be brought to a swift end!

Friedpotato:
it's true, at least it was when I traveled. But you'd do it before, not at the airport.

I know about this but my agent wakanow said right now no matter where you’re traveling to, The airport will require you to do another test in the airport again

Help

Why is the tuition so cheap? Are you sure this school is not one of the blacklisted schools

emmanuelle27:
Please what does this mean, does it Literally mean they offer the Ms program only two times in a yr and that's all?

24hrs? Wow

This is plausible.

But in Nigeria, to get a seat on an international flight within 2 days of departure is going to be mad expensive, and those flights would be fully paid for, you may not get a booking or seat. Your economy ticket will be almost same as someone who bought business class months ago.

I used a Lagos State/BioBank/NCDC centre just at the LASUTH bridge, Ikeja for mine and I got my result via email in 24 hours.

This is my worry too. I don’t want a situation where my result will be delayed

Ninisun:



Get your covid result before ticket,most times the result delays..happened to my in law.

Can I do the test in a teaching hospital?

fkj950ax:


Your flight is Day 5
Book a Test for Day 3 - Be mindful of Sunday's
Receive Result Day 4.
Remember connecting flights add an extra day to your travel date.
So you arrive at your destination Day 6. Result still valid

You can buy your ticket anytime, but make sure it's before booking for the test. I think the portal requires your flight details also.

Guys please what’s with the covid test requirement for traveling? I want to visit the US Next month and I understand i am required to get a covid negative test before boarding. Can I buy my ticket before doing the test? What if the test is yet to be processed as at when I am ready to board? Or do I wait till i get the result before buying tickets?

It depends on the airline.. some airline like Delta and Turkish don’t ask for it

Is a US Visa with 3 months before expiration valid?

seyewest:


You can visit U.S with a passport with less than 6 months validity, there's an agreement with U.S on that.
