@ seeker88

I don't think jaysay001 knows what he is talking about, is it a crime to ask for your help?@jaysay001. Who is not real member? Since this is a faceless forum doesn't mean you should just talk to anyone anyhow,you don't know what tomorrow will bring. How can I ask you to send your dollar first before sending naira to you,I dey mad? Walspring help me to send TOEFL last year which he told me later that the money I sent isn't enough I completed his balance, Texrem help with the payment of my sevis fee last year didn't even complain of anything, so what's your problem,on top how much?



Can I say sorry !!!

You sent me email without passing through Nairaland and you did not mention that you are acting on behalf of your friend. You were talking as you have the Naira ready and I gave you my wife's Account number and name. I took permission from my group member in order to go to western union. That was the time you told me that you are expecting someone to send you Naira.

You are not ready and you asked me to send account number with name .......... Does it look right ?? Giving bank information to stranger.

Anyway SORRY .......

If you need USD, I have $500 I'd like to change to Naira. P:S you'send naira first before I pay. Dont' bother to message me if you are not comfortable with it. message me for the rate.

You are right (Confirm your NAIRA first before you send your Dollar to US Bank Account) , It looks like some scammers are waiting for Dollar/Naira exchange from members. They will use real nairaland account to contact you through PM for WES payment in order to get your email. Then three days later, another email will contact you directly (without passing through Nairaland PM) that he saw your post on nairaland that he need dollar and ask you to send your dollar to US bank account... BEWARE !!!


I still have $751 available to exchange for Naira. I paid $249 (WES Evaluation ) for real member yesterday. My rate is $1/425Naira

US Port of Entry Process, Requirements for F1 Visa Students

http://redbus2us.com/us-port-of-entry-process-requirements-for-f1-visa-students/

One of the biggest myths international students, who are entering US for the first time, have is that if they get F1 visa stamped in their home country, they are all set to enter to USA and study…unfortunately, that is not true…recent instance of deportation of F1 students, who failed to convince the CBP officer at Port of Entry (PoE) is just an example. Our goal in this article is to give a very high level overview on the process, what to expect at PoE and list Port of Entry questions that are very common for F1 visa students entering US to pursue higher education.

Before we get started, let’s familiarize ourselves with some basics.

Does Having a Visa Guarantee Admission to USA ?

Not always. In fact, US Visa will only let you travel to port of entry and then seek permission of CBP officer to allow you to enter US. What US Visa will indicate is that a consular officer at US embassy or consulate in other country has determined that you are eligible for entry, that’s it. The final decision vests with CBP officer. Read What is US Visa from US Dept of State website

What is Port of Entry in USA ?

Port of Entry ( PoE) is nothing but the international airport, seaport or the border check point where you would enter America from international border. Sometimes students flying to smaller cities, arrive at a major city airport and then take a domestic flight. In this case, the first major city airport that you land is called the Port of Entry. If you drive from nearby countries like Mexico or Canada, the border check point would be the port of entry…

Who is CBP Officer ? What is their role ?

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer is the officer at port of entry, who will check your documents, ask you some questions and ensure that you are properly authorized to enter in US. Their role is to ensure physical and economic security of United States. They have a guiding manual on what to do for the best interests of United States. For students, they would typically check your I-20, school info, etc and make sure you are having all correct documents.

What is Primary Inspection Booth ? What to expect here ?

It is the place, where CBP officer will check and interview anyone arriving to enter US. You usually would queue up in a line and there are a bunch of open booths in front of the line, where you will be directed to enter one of the open booths for interview. The CBP Officer would check your documents like I-20, US Visa, Passport, etc and ask you questions like below ( detail questions will be in posted in other article)

What is your purpose of entering USA
What school you are planning to study
How do you support your education

If the CBP officer is convinced with your answers and your documents seem ok for them, they will stamp your passport indicating your US visa status at entry. Usually this last for anywhere from under 5 minutes to 10 minutes at the maximum. If CBP officer is not convicned or not able to verify something, they will send you for secondary inspection.

What is secondary inspection by CBP officer ? What to expect ?

Secondary inspection is something where student is taken for additional screening. It could be for reasons like they are not able to verify your documents, the CBP officer believes that there is some fraud in documents, they may believe that your intention to arrive in US is different, etc. It is more detailed, where you may be asked questions for an hour or even longer depending on the situation. The whole idea is to verify your details without causing interruption to other passengers who are behind you. There is nothing to worry, if you are taken for secondary inspection, if you are genuine and your intentions are correct.

The CBP officer would check your status in SEVIS. If there are some issues or need more info on program or school, they may check with your School’s Designated School officer (DSO). That’s why it is recommended that you carry the Name, Phone number and emergency phone number of your school’s DSO handy. If for some reason, it is just that your documents cannot be verified, SEVI Fee was not paid or reflecting, etc. the CBP officer may deny you entry or at their discretion issue Form I-515A Notice to Student or Exchange Visitor, which allows you to enter US temporarily for 30 days and you need to report to DSO and get your issues sorted out quickly. Read –FAQs on Form I-515A

What documents to carry as F1 student to make your entry smooth at PoE ?

While below is not a comprehensive list, it gives you general set of documents that you must carry. Make sure you do not put them as part of the check-in luggage. It has to be part of your carry on. No excuses allowed at port of entry that my documents are inside luggage, etc. You will only be allowed to pick up your check-in bags after the interview with CBP officer.

Documents Check list at Port of Entry for F1 Students

Valid Passport with enough validity for study in US
For I-20 Signed by DSO
Admission/ Acceptance letters from school.
I-901 SEVIS Fee Payment receipt
Documents proof for your financial support to cover your education.
Originals of Your Undergrad and other Education Certificates
Copy of your past transcripts that were sent to school.
Name and Contact info of DSO at your school
Address of where you will stay in US
Contact info of seniors or anyone, whom you interacted ( Optional)
Any other documents like GRE, TOEFL score reports ( Optional )

That’s about it folks. It is very important as an international student to be aware of the entry procedure at Port of Entry in US to avoid issues. You do NOT have to be in panic, if you are taken for secondary inspection, just stay calm and always tell the truth. It is your job to be fully aware of your school, your program, and other details of your education in US. Be prepared. We will cover the questions in other article for everyone to be prepared.

Congrats

VISA APPROVED TODAY IN LAGOS
Apology please i talk alot.

The journey that started about 18months ago was consolidated today with the approval of my F1 visa.
Got to the embassy by 5:10am and those agents surrounded me but I was just using them to catch fun. Took out time to educate some gullible guys that wanted to fall for their trap.
I was so confident, I think my confidence level was 99.9%.

Well, we passed through all the check-in and some guys were turned back for offences ranging from DS160 barcode to sevis receipt. Some did not even have the right documents.

Fastforward, we got inside and I just dey form oversabi dont mind me. The lady was like you folded your i-20 and sevis receipt already
So after all the initial gragra, I finally joined the queue, was the 10th person.
Turned on the pastor mode, no be small thing o
( praying in the holy ghost)
Three Vos came and interviews started. They were just dishing out denial like gift.
See guys froming fake american accent, no be small thing o
Gbam, so i was interviewed by the lady in window 7, the babe before me was also approved.
My approval was the third
Here is the conversation
Me – Good Morning
VO – Pass me your documents
VO- Why are you going to the US?
Me- I am going to the US to pursue my masters degree in Chemistry with a concentration in analytical and environmental chemistry at Tennesee Tech University, Cookeville.
VO- what do you currently do?
Me- I just concluded my NYSC where i taught chemistry in a secondary scvhool. I also volunteered as a radio presenter
VO- (looks at me for the first time) What will you do after your studies?
Me- Few weeks ago, the FG launched a $10m clean up of oil spill in Ogonni land in the Niger Delta.
I plan to return to Nigeria to help in environmental remediation and fighting environmental pollution,
I will take up lecturing jobs in Nigerian Universities, I wanna be a Prof of Chemistry
VO- (looks at me) i will be approving your VISA. Then i became deaf temporarily.
Be confident, I was so confident and eloquent. Didn't do any rehearsal atall, maybe cos I've been reading transcripts here and I did the whole application myself.

Thanks to everyone here,you guys are doing a great job.
To the gurus
