Doing what in the hotel?

Yea. Been around for a while too learning as much as I can so as not to ask unnecessary questions. Most of the guys on here have been extremely helpful to one another and I admire that amongst so many things albeit the misunderstandings, which sometimes is inevitable because of our different views on issues, which are ultimately geared towards proffering help and advice to those of us in need. Spring 2017 hopeful sending transcripts for evaluation. Yea. Been around for a while too learning as much as I can so as not to ask unnecessary questions.

Fortissimo:

Airport staffs can delay you and cause you to miss your flight...its best to just smile keep it friendly so you can keep moving. Sir Ma aunty mi uncle this welldone greetings .

No too much story no right dragging so u can be on ur way with no incident blc they really can make you miss your flight

16 days from now.

Fortissimo:
Omo I feel you o. And I believe that's actually the best way. But if it's just to show them your passport I think you can just humor them. Also since they are SSS they can actually cause a lot of problems and probably have the right to inspect people. You know some naija laws are not well defined. When are you leaving?

Calflavour abi labour sorry I no too sabi english am ok jere.. Am just loyal o... Countdown begins...

onyembu2013:
@gunther, imperiouxx, and dickoflife. Please how can I wait for 17 hours at dallas before my connecting flight. The thought of it dey give headache. 17 hours na more half day. What can I do during that 17 hours wait. Please I need you guys suggestion

Abeg I no fit get PM. I have no access to the account anymore, happy weekend everybody..

Uncle am sorry sir.. No vex. As for me sss has never seen the colour talkless of the inside of my passport. The only person who has are the ndlea guys and its cus they asked for ndlea clearance last time I travelled. Its good to insist on your right and not be trampled on. Let people know the right thing to do. I am not saying fight them. Sir am sorry if my words have offended you sir.[quote author=halidaf post=47351313][/quote]

So u sef dey see dem? In other news can I drive with my nigeria international drivers licence alone without needing an international drivers permit in states like maryland and texas?

imperiouxx:
gunther6 and nellyalph, what's wrong with you guys?

Get an original print out and show them at the POE. If asked let them know no direct flight from Nigeria and that's the cheapest you have seen. Make sure you have the printout of a confirmed local flight. But ensure you don't go too early also. Like you are going 29 days before school resumes and then you head for Texas direct whereas your school is in new york.

onyembu2013:
@ dicklife, I booked Qatar Airways, I am going to portland, Oregon state. But my POE is dallas and the time for my connecting flight to portland, is 17 hours. I hope it won't cause much of a problem at the POE. Also I don't know where to stay to wait for 17 hours before I board my connecting flight

You are welcome.
My 2 cents on this matter goes thus:
As a first time traveller be neutral in your submissions. Be firm in response and not overbearing or abusive. The first check you will get is the airline staff. Some are prone to ask stupid questions like where are you going? What is your purpose and all.. Kindly restate its none of their biz and ask them to check you in and move on. Next is customs, try not to carry banned items or those in liquid form so you do not have a problem. Stand your ground that you will not drop a dime. Next is the immigration checkpoint which is where passports are tendered. Do not look at them directly, pose an air of non chalance, to show you care not about what he does and answer questions firmly. Do not allow them bully you. After you are done some ndlea and sss officers usually gather at the point of leaving the immigration counter, some will demand to see your passport. They do not have the right. Be firm in making them understand that. Drug agents are not empowered to stop and harrass. That's what the immigration official is for. Yellow card isn't needed to board a flight to the US. The issues of pta or bta also concerns no immigration official as long as you have a visa you can board a flight without any issue. The issue arises at the point of entry however, because it is expected that you have 1000$ to cover contigencies. Should anyone attack you over this they do not have the right. It is not their duty but rather that of those at the point of entry.. Lastly if you are going to atlanta abeg don't book houston ticket and expect angel zebrudayah to clear the way for you. Try as much as possible to get tickets to a neighbouring state with a connecting local flight or bus pass to your final destination. I did this by buying aticket to chicago and booked a bus pass for michigan, grand rapids slated for the next day as my flight lands by 9:45 pm local time. Lastly please do not carry foodstuffs as if the national research institute needs them for pharmacology purposes, this usually causes delays at point of entry and in most cases secondary examination. A case in point is that of mine in Istanbul few years back and also at Vnukovo airport. From then I decided carrying food from one continent to the other should majorly be the job of migrating birds. I hope this epistle has helped. See ya all on the other side (I mean Amelika o not heaven)

ARABMONI:
@ Dickoflife, Thank you for those important questions, @ Aadeyi and LagosismyHome, I appreciate your prompt and succinct answers,

As at 15th of this month the vast majority of people here with visa's will begin to travel let us thrash some issues.

1. How much is the minimum PTA to carry in cash for a traveller?

2. Do we need yellow card also called vaccine card to get to the US?

3. Can any immigration official stop an individual from travelling for whatever reason and what is to be done in such a case?

4. Do you need to give anybody money as a first timer? And likely questions to be asked at the point of entry.

Please I need answers so people can learn no insults, the answers aren't for me but we all learn everyday... Cc justwise, gunther6, gunther8, aadeyi, lagosismyhome, deetus, siriddy, msnas, slimmy2005...

I have a way to avoid all the charges bro... Its quite simple and has been done over the years...

OluDare01:
Baba go open stanbic jare. First bank and their excessive charges go soon tire you.
Lol. Make we fast together na

he might not have the mental or pecuniary capability to fulfill the route you specified for him. simply elucidate on how he can achieve his dreams, all fingers arent equal my dear.

LagosismyHome:
Instead of going for an associate (if ur sibling dont have enough that ok ) better to carry SAT book and online material . Study as if you life depends on it , get good grades and then apply to Universities for a BSC that give full ride scholarship to international students . There should be some in NY , worse case u target other east coast Universities and take a Bus/ Train to NY for weekend .

You be better off long term that an associate in a CC .

Different strokes for different folks... I got the first bank app, seems cool I might just forgoe gtbank... How u jere? I volunteer to fast with you on the day of your interview.

OluDare01:
Yes I know that sir.
He's already in a university here in Nigeria.

hmn? justwise i believe the ndlea cert issue is only for some countries, the us not included and the yellow card isnt needed for us travellers. it is needed for select countries is that correct?

suxes2005:
Bro 10 yrs ago,

As if i knew someone was going to post this
here before

Justwise, as a first time traveller, the enthutiasm wil b
dia for u to travel nd u r ready to do everythin possible.

The NDLEA officer will ask you for NDLEA cert which some1
here says it cost like 75k.

@OP, post your pix here and i wud like you
do something for me there.

help me collect money from my friend there,
LOL

SHALOM

OluDare01:
That's like downgrading from BSc to associate degree.
Read through this thread or you check google

that is incorrect information my good man.. An AAS degree lasts for 2 years after which you transfer the credits to a university to complete and acquire a bachelors. Hope I set the records straight.

Please in the spirit of the just concluded ramadan abeg sheath your swords of animosity, slimmy05, warriboy21 formerly dare fadi, lagosismyhome.

Helkayklassic:
Congratulating me in advance i guess? Welcom back sir.

Angel michel shara, angel gabriel shara, angel wolima shara...

texrem:
I Pm-ed her twice sorry the yahoo-boy twice..

But the response was shrouded.. So i let her/him be.. I was about fighting gunter9 tho twaznt because of dollars but because he was saying i dont help people on this thread.. Exactly why i told him to run a background check on me..to find any fault in me..

I love honesty...been rectitude is the best of all..

Be real n not fake as angelapinkytoes..

I must say na my prayers expose her/him..

Say big "hello" to the pastor

Sir such an allegation was not only preposterous but also inundated with malicious intent to defame my character the way fayose defamed aisha buhai.. Such higi haga and crinkum crankum is obfuscating to say the least and can send a comatose individual deeper into the recesses of an induced position after a lobotomy. You seem to insinuate that a hermicorporectomy will suffice to hard reset the medula oblongota of the majority of unwitting accomplices in this maladventurous embarkation.

DeeTus:
It's okay. Glad that you did not PM her.

Congrats on getting your visa...

Helkayklassic:
I greet everyone in the house. I congratulate those that their visa has been approved. I just started following this thread, though i have read from page 0 to 59. I have been seeing VO and i don't know the full meaning. Can anyone tell me its full meaning please? Oga Aadey don't tell me google is your friend because i have asked but yet to get the answer.. Lol, because that's you and gunther's anthem. Oga justwise i hail o, Walspring (Walmart) tuale o, dickoflife 3 gbosa for u.

I am not dragging u I simply wanted u too come see. I never pm'ed her,never. No woman on this thread can say I ever did that. I no dey follow woman for her bros, fed poly, afe babalola and eksu dey my side. I never lamba finish na nairaland I go dey disturb woman? Sorry if u feel I dey drag u I simply called all respectable members to come see the mess the so called lady was making. Abi make I comot your name?

DeeTus:
@Dickoflife, please i wouldn't want anyone to drag me into this matter. When you guys were busy buying dollars, you didn't call me but now something else came up and you're calling my attention now.

I'm too big for messy stuffs. Some of you guys who pmmed her thinking she's the queen of Nairaland should also bow their heads in shame as well. "It takes two to tango."

Remember I told don4ye he will also go to kirikiri he did not believe.. The God I serve doesn't lie to me.

OluDare01:
Welcome back from kirikiri
