Mekurexx safe trip.. I don wet ground for you ..

Ok.. I should post my travel transcript now.
I traveled. On the 9th of Aug with royal air maroc
The trip to Casablanca. Was Long and boring..
I had a 17hrs layover Time and it was the longest wait of my life.
The food was so annoying that I actually. Cried in the restaurant cos it made me think about how much I will miss home,we were given a room much later.

The trip to new York was pretty cool, we got there earlier Than the scheduled Time

Now to the CPB check
Note: I got a visa to California but I transferred to Minnesota so mine was a different case
The cpb officer asked for my passport and I20 then she asked which university I was going to, I told her Minnesota state uni then she was like how come I have CSUN on my visa, I explained. To her that I transferred. Due to some reasons and she was like okay, but you will have to go to the office. For confirmation cos I was a minor traveling alone(she was super nice and assured me there was no problem as they only need to confirm which university I was really going to) I got to the office and waited about 40min (thankfully,I had enough time for my connecting flight) then the woman checked the system and found MSU( I had already transferred my sevis to Minnesota)
She just asked if I was sure I was going to MN and I said yes..
So she cancelled the Prev sevis number on my passport and wrote the new one on my MSU I20 and then stamped it and told me to go
Phew! I was Super relieved...
I was able to navigate my Way around jfk and I boarded a connecting flight. To MN(abt 3hrs)..

I think there's no problem with the cpb so far you are going through legal means
With God on your side you are good to go. Just be confident. And have the right document at hand.
Safe trip to everyone coming soon!

There was no problem at all flying with royal air maroc, I think I enjoyed traveling With them. Although they can still improve on their services...

I promised myself not to post anything here until the day of my interview.
Visa Approved. Lagos consulate. 6:30am appointment. I'm still too excited to do any other thing. Can't remember the transcript, it's gonna take a while to remember, then I'll tell y'all. It was a very short one though. it took about 70 seconds in total. Please be patient, I'll share it when I don calm down and remember.

I got home and tricked everyone that I was denied. See sadness inside living room. After about 10 mins, I broke the news. see Enjoyment!!!
I'm exciteeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!

Yes be ready to answer few questions about been a student but nothing worth fearing or thinking too much about

LagosismyHome:
Who started this rumor about POE been difficult .............lol. It is not ooooo for student , just in few cases .

Guys and Ladies relax , as long as you are a credible student there is nothing to worry about

gunther6:
No but it will be nice to call/mail or inform your school officer especially if you're transiting through O'Hare. In my case I already shared all my travel plans with her so she was aware

gunther6:
My POE transcript as promised...

I appreciate everyone on this thread including obvious deliverance cases(I won't mention name we know them), I have been mulling schooling in the US for a while but it just never felt right until a year ago. It was ultimately this thread that gave me enough 'ginger' to go all the way.

My flight started in Lagos breezed through preliminary checks had a few foodstuffs , I just gave the custom guys 2k I don't have time things got interesting with the NDLEA guys near the boarding gate, those guys were all over me. I went to the Emirates boarding gate 53 or something I don't remember.

Someone asked me how I upgraded to Business class, my mom transferred some of her frequent flyer miles to me with $25/1000miles or something + 200k which is not a bad deal at all.

I got to Dubai and was passed through fast track and proceeded to the Business lounge to chill where it got rather boring, the 8hr 25mins wait was the longest in my life so I got out and found a restaurant to eat, all was well and god until I saw a bill of 300AED , bottom line everything you pay for at Dubai international is expensive down to the USB cord I bought for $28. I wanted to just die.

By the time I got on the Dubai to Chicago flight I was already suffering from flu and sore throat, I could not eat nor drink anything, the only time I ate I could not keep it down so I stuck to just tea and a single cup of wine. We were delayed at O'Hare for like 20 mins before disembarking.

So I just disembarked and joined the not so long line to the CBP.

CBP : Why are you in the United states
GT : For my graduate studies specifically a Masters in Economics at Illinois State University

CBP : Place four fingers on your right hand on the scanner
GT : I did

CBP : (Circled my custom form A and my passport to as admitted) next thing he said I can't confirm from your school officer here you have , wait by that glass my colleague will be here to get you
GT : in my mind (you better don't let the devil use you, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus )

Two mins later a colleague showed up and showed me into a waiting room where I found a lot of people waiting every student I interacted with that was a student at Dubai international so I relaxed. They were calling up people for secondary interview they picked some passports and went to lock it up inside those ones own don be.

Five minutes later my passport was handed to.me signed by DHS and I went to get my back, I got to customs handed in my blue form no one asked me any question about what I was carrying and all.

I took an ATS (airport transit shuttle) to Terminal 1 walked like 15 mins to the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) train for $5 to the Union station from where I trekked to the greyhound station.


This is my first time in the US but as a fairly frequent traveller to the Middle east and Europe I have seen more impressive infrastructure, the infrastructure particularly the bridges I saw were particularly old and rusty

oluwafemikolade:
Please, What time did texrem take off in Lagos - that made him to arrive Casablanca at 12pm?
Just wanna know the distance.

gunther6:
texrem got to Casablanca from Lagos at 12:00pm he left for New York at 3:00pm according to him Air Maroc now plies the Lagos-Casablanca route with a 3yr old Boeing 737 and the flight was pretty decent. Spare a silent prayer for him that he passes through POE without scruples and the lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob makes the crooked way straight before him.


In other news Air Maroc is somewhat okay they no longer ply the Lagos - Casablanca leg with a 35 yr old plane, I will seek confirmation about the 2nd leg of the flight and post accordingly. Spare a prayer... Thanks
