No your time is only correct when you are in nigeria..... any other connecting time , arriving , departing or landing time is based on the time at that particular airport ...... for example if u leave lagos at 1pm then yes thats lagos time and next if your next flight in from Dubai 4pm. then 4pm is Dubai time to arrive newyork 9am that means the plane lands at 9am newyork time
Ok

Where to check the time at the next air port please?

And how to locate the boarding gate u are talking abt?

I was like wahoo ooooo, third time and fourth time, o GA ooooooo. By 12:30pm I went inside after the checking stuff. My fingers was was scanned and waiting for interview proper. The VO that interview me the last time was there but I was not afraid. I was eventually moved to another VO.... My transcript..
It was God indeed

You will need this at POE, visa approved

I was happy and crying... I wanted to leave that interview hall when I first enter because someone said I never sign the the guardian side on my I-20.

Don't be discouraged, have courage, never lie, leave all to God
