Sorry for the poor reception you were given, unfortunately you fell into wrong hands. Any Nigerian you see on this thread is likely to be a crook, trying to look for desperate means to travel.
Aunty you have reached here again.you need to stop constituting nuisance everywhere.if something went wrong in your life at some point,it's nobody's fault!not everyone is a criminal as you think.by the way,who hurt you??you are so bitter.get well soon!!!!

NIGERIA


So, I was a fairly popular guy in my school area back in Nigeria (not because of any extraordinary feat or something) but because I was to techy guy, the go-to guy when you have any issues with your laptop, phone, Internet or any thing technology. My course of study was nowhere near this field though, it was more like a hobby.

I didn't graduate though. I left my course of study (a professional course) and ran away.

News about my "janding" has filtered round, people whom I don't know have started blowing up my phone lines and social media accounts, even the girls who pretend not to see me have started jumping into my dms.
Nigerians are hypocrites though.

LookmanTalk:
1. Who are you now going to see in the US since you did not attend your uncle's wedding?
2. What are the reasons you could not make it for the wedding since you got your visa?
3.How much are you travelling with?
4. Who will be picking you at the airport and where do you intend staying?
5. How long do you intend to stay for and doing what?


These are some of the likely questions you would be asked, when you respond then I can start advising..

But know one thing, you showing up at another POE from the one declared is a 'RED FLAG'..

A roundtrip from New York to Houston will never cost $250 let alone $500.
Before the poster travel.. he should purchase a ticket from New York(JFK) to Houston as of today it cost $90 but it will go down by next week tuesday and wednesday to around $55. Be patient

Blizzle:
My take: you will just have to explain yourself well to the CBP at POE giving a valid reason why you couldn't show up for the wedding.

As per going to Texas by road from NY, the trip alone will take like 2 days. Na long journey and if u decide to go by air it will set you back upwards of $500 dollars for a round trip. So weight ur options well.

Wow.it's indeed far.thanks for replying

Getting the US Visa obviously isn't the most difficult thing (now I know). I think it has to do a lot with purposefulness and confidence.

I am a 20 something, single (without kids), Virgin passport holder and still got approved. I did my homework though.....read well over 300 pages of US Visa threads her on Nairaland.

Everything happened so fast.
I naturally tend to speak fast especially when tensed and that helped a lot (or so I think). I didn't take a pause to answer any of the questions. He asked, I answered.



I'll narrate my police harassment experience later.

My transcript wouldn't be complete if I don't say a Big Thank you to all the selfless people here on this thread (especially LadyGuinivere and SeyeWest). I literally knew all that I needed, had a graphical understanding of what to expect, and walked right through the whole process.

Thank you guys .
