Why do you guys need a PoE group link?



This is because I need some info about entry through Washington with my immigrant Visa. I got into Washington airport at 5:55am this month Saturday 10th and all went well. From there I came down to LAX. All thanks.

Search using Google flights but for now, tickets are expensive. Look up tickets for October and November, you'll get some cheap ones. I got United airlines, direct for $1,800+ to LAX but with one stop in Washington. Try and contact wakanow as well, they have some cheap tickets available. Try and reset your nairaland password.

I would advise BWI, except if IAD is cheaper for you to fly and you wouldn't mind the long road drive to your final destination

Hi all,
Just arrived yankee for a two week visit. Just checked my passport in my hotel and surprisingly my passport was not stamped. The POE however, took my facial photograph and I spent less than a minute with her. POE was at Atlanta. Is this a new POE policy or she forgot to stamp my passport?

POE: What is your business in US
Me: To attend a conference
POE: Okay
Handed back my passport after facial photo taken
Me: Is that all
POE: Yes you can go.

Go to the I94 website and check your entry was documented sha. You won't see stamp there, but make sure your entry was completely processed.

Wakanow is perfect.
I have never had any issue with them.

Thanks.

Their date change fees tend to cost up to 2x - 3x the price.

I advise you book if you are absolutely certain of travel dates. Your experience will be great.

If however you have fluid travel plans that will require modifications, go directly with the airline.

Exactly to avoid wahala. I just do snacks.

Good day guys,

Hello, please I am flying out of Abuja Nigeria with Lufthansa on Saturday, transiting through FRA to Dallas, US. I’m Nigerian flying with a Nigerian passport and was fully vaccinated last year against Covid -19. Do I still need a negative covid test to fly or would my certificate of vaccination suffice?

Also, at PoE, I want to say I’m here for vacation and to have my baby even though I got the visa for tourism but its B1/B2 (which is the same for medical visa). Is this advisable or should I stick with tourism?

Please google and read recent 'US Birth Tourism 2022' bulletin by state.gov so you don't have issues at PoE with CBP.
With respect to COVID-19, each country has specific entry and exit rules, so check the rules for Nigeria, Frankfurt and US (Dallas).

I landed Boston logan airport some hours ago.

Me: Hey Good afternoon, how’s it going?
CBP: I’m doing good, where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos Nigeria
CBP: purpose of visit
Me: Business and Visiting my Elder Brother
CBP: How long are you staying for
Me: 3 weeks

She asked me to remove my face mask and captured me
Cbp: Apart from the last time you visited the US, have you been to the US before?

Me: No.
Cbp stamps my passport for 6months.

I went to baggage claim and was referred to Agriculture specialists. men those guys drilled me

CBP: Do you have any fruits or meat?
Me: Nope (I didn’t know my Mum packaged garden egg and Yam for my Elder Brother), the cbp checked and saw garden egg, yam and ungrounded Egusi.
He told a white CBP lady to depose all the Egusi and the reason was because I didn’t grind it.
He asked me where I did covid test , I said in a private Laboratory in Benin City Nigeria, then he said some Nigerians pay 50k and get fake covid Report from the airport, as I was about replying he said I shouldn’t bother to argue about it so he doesn’t take it further and his friend who is a Nigerian told him.
The CBP guy said he would have fined me $300 for bringing those stuffs but this is gonna be like a warning.
He scanned my passport and told me to go.

good thing I found someone from my state to learn something from. Hello and good morning bro

Soooo, I successfully entered via Dallas PoE today. They didn’t ask but I willingly divulged that I was also going to have my baby. They took me to secondary inspection and the guy just asked for paperwork with the Dallas doctor and mode of payment. Showed him the paperwork and confirmed I’ll be paying with my credit card. He gave me back my passport and I was granted entry for 6 months. So glad!

That's wonderful. Next step is to ensure all your bills are cleared. Go to the birth thread so you can find out everything you need to know especially documents to show you cleared all. This is to avoid issues in your renewal.
