Shout out to all d 2-direct & 2-sure niggas, y'al made this possible.

God will forgive you all, I'm presently in Houston, Texas and the lake wood church is widely opened to Harvey victims. Don't say what you don't know.

Neymar is some good good player, wish him success in his nu club. I don't think his addition will make d team invisible champions league buh he'll obviously have alot of playing time. Besides,whers are our naija musicians shouting my money long like blablabal, biko, buy Eyimba nd pay neymars salary na.

Naso lady shout escort!!
I was subjected to secondary screening reason being when i got down from plane, was really tired, so i didn't answer her questions with full confidence, That made her put me in for secondary inspection..
Got to the cold room, was really shivering, my passport nd my phone was collected, my phones where latee given to me. Inside the room, after waiting for some minutes close to an hour, a white man called me, asked me the same questions all over and asked why i didn't travle with my grandma cos we went for the interview together, i told hime she was stronh so she couldn't fly. Passport got stamped, the white man apologised for putting.me in a cold place, he escorted me out nd i picked my bag nd went straight out.. Uncle was already waiting. Gotta rest.. Thanks everyone!
Note- i went with ogbono and egusi soup, i just declared them, bag was checked nd i went my way.

Yea to u.s, Houston. Traveling for the first time on a b1/b2, staying with an uncle for 2 weeks. And you've not answered the ogbono nd egusi part. Thanks

I hope taking egusi and ogbono won't be an issue at the p.o.e? And can you educate me on the self biometric kiosk, as have heard about it on this forum. Thanks

Trying to book, pls from experience, what airline is better? Btw turkish and qatar?

Thanks a whole lot, its my first time. You guys give life saving informations.

KaptainAfrika:
If this is your first time of travelling, I would recommend waiting for your grandma. Just to be on the safe side. But if you will miss the purpose for the trip, you can travel alone and reasonably explain why you had to to go without Grannie. What do you think?

Good day house, have a question, got a b1/b2 visa since feb with my grandma, we ought to travle together by 25th of feb buh she couldn't make it dur to her health, can i travle alone? Would it be an issue at the poe? Thanks

I was at the program live this morning, he actually spoke in parables and there were some things he said before that quote such that if you don't get the pretext of the sermon before the quote, you won't get the whole gist. The program was for singles, he shared a story about a guy that got married to the wrong lady becos he put physical things above spiritual things, the marriage started having issues thw first day after wedding, he den came about that post. So pls, before you say he's talking trash, do yourself good, listen to the sermon then judge afterwards.

Pls, was your cell phone collected nd checked?

Good morning house! Got into Florida yesterday morning through emirates flight. Entry into the state wasn't stressful.
After having my passport scanned, had to line up to meet with a cbp officer....
My interaction with the cbp officer:
Cbp: hello, good morning
Me: good morning
Cbp: how are you doing today?
Me: I'm doing good but very tired from the 15 hour flight from Dubai
Cbp: so sorry about that ma'am.... Can I have your passport and declaration form?
Me: (passes both to him)
Cbp: what do you do ma'am?
Me: I'm a bla bla bla
Cbp: how long do you plan to stay in Florida?
Me: 16 days
Cbp: okay... How much do you have with you?
Me: $1200
Cbp: (smiling) are you sure you have up to that with you? Just in case they want to confirm at the secondary inspection....
Me: yes I have exactly that with me
Cbp: okay ma'am, hope you're planning on visiting Disney World?
Me: (smiling too) oh yes... The hotel I'll be staying at, provides a shuttle to several tourist sites.
Cbp: okay ma'am (smiles as he stamps 6 months on my passport) have a lovely vacation.
Me: thank you, have a lovely day

Proceeding to pick up my checked in luggage and then straight to secondary inspection...
Cbp2: good morning ma'am
Me: good morning
Cbp2: do you have laptops or digital camera in your luggage?
Me: no.... I have just my cell phone with me
Cbp2: okay....any agricultural produce?
Me: not at all
Cbp2: alright ma'am just scan your luggage over there and you are good to go.
Me: (place my luggage on the scanner) then pick them up at the other end.
Cbp2: have a lovely day ma'am
Me: you too... (heading out into Florida fresh air)
All in all, no stress apart from the long queue.... Already enjoying my holiday here.

New baggage rule. Guys been aware....
Medical phones and medical devices are permitted hut larger items including laptops , tablets, cameras and e-readers will need to be placed into baggages that is checked in. Must be done at the start of your journey.

Pls, anyone that has successfully bought the form and registered should help us put all the info here. The amount you bought the form, the location and your registration process. Thanks

Thanks. This question is a little bit off this thread but ur suggestions r very much needed. Where can one buy dollars for BTA at reasonable rates? Thanks

worry357:
Make very sure that it does not have job stuff or your CV on it!
Also no political material and check facebook groups and contacts.
If they look at it and find such things you can be on the next plain home!

I hope traveling with a laptop won't be an issue at p.o.e, when going for a two weeks visit?

When going to visit an uncle in u.s for 2weeks, bros seyewest, like how much Bta can one hold?

Patiently waiting... Thanks in anticipation

He gave us d white paper n said some few things which I didn't hear.

Thanks Ladyguinevere, kaptainafrika and the rest. God bless y'all
P. S. Though I used an agent, I made sure he filled our forms with the truth( dh already paid him before I stumbled on this thread). He advised us to lie, that we should tell the vo that we have a kid but I declined. The truth always pays. I have made up my mind not to use an agent again, they might spoil one's chances.
Also, prayer works. We prayed like we didn't plan. We studied our ds-160 forms like we were to write an exam on it.
My observation: a lot of people were issued visa that day. Guess twas a good day at the embassy.
