Oh, okay. Upgraded knowledge now. Genuinely didn't know Delta flies directly from Lagos to New York. The way I previously knew it experientially was that their planes from Lagos will fly directly into ATL first before you connect to wherever else you are going or you fly Air France/KLM to CDG/AMS first before continuing to JFK with any of DL/AF/KL.... Seems that's old school knowledge now!

I asked if your family has previously been to the US but not through JFK like you or is this their first time in the US? Either ways, your onward ticket on the same itinerary from JFK-MCO should be your strength in addition to your personal previous travels and use of JFK. Enjoy....

Delta airline now fly directly to JFK after arik stopped. It’s my family’s first time in the USA but not first time outside Nigeria. Thanks alot house. I’ll share our poe experience nextweek when we get to FL.

Don't see why yours should be a cause for worry sha. Your previous US travels coupled with the JFK-MCO leg should arrest any unwarranted situation. Has your family never been to the US before? Seeing Delta LOS-JFK; via ATL, on a code share (via CDG or AMS) or how? Good morning....

Thanks and Goodmorning @OmoBendel24. i do not understand the bold messages above but our flight is LOS to JFK direct flight for 11hrs 30mins via delta airline and JFK to MCO.

Thanks for your help..

Before this Canada wahala you can enter through any POE but nowadays especially for families traveling together you can have to think it through before entering through JFK especially if your final destination on ds160 is very far from New York i.e. Florida,Texas,California,Oregon,Arizona etc not that I'm trying to frightening people or travelers but nowadays more than 5 passengers have contacted me after they were deported from JFK and the question asked was "why are you passing through New York" it's important to be equiped maybe have an onward domestic ticket at hand and also hotel reservation or address and phone number of the person you're visiting.
Lastly preparation is key and reduce unnecessary talk on social media about traveling to U.S or using U.S as a route to connect to Canada.
May God help us.

Thanks Mr Seyewest for all your contributions. I have a quick question because this jfk POE issue has been giving me alot of concerns. I am traveling to Orlando, FL with my family for a family vacation and our flight itinerary is Delta Airline LOS - JFK - MCO, i already booked the flight a long time before this whole poe saga, pls Note i have been to the usa several times and passed through jfk with no issues but first time for my family. Do i have to be worried?
