POE: JFK

Me: Good day.
Immigration Officer (IO): Hi. Why are you coming to US?
Me: Business/visit
IO: How long are you here for?
Me: 3 weeks.
IO: Do you know Emmanuel Ikuebesi (reading from her computer)?
Me: Who? Doesn't ring a bell. Who is this person?
IO: A Nigerian actor. You don't know him?
Me: No. If he is not an older actor in Nollywood, I don't know him as I am not familiar with newer generation actors.
Me: What you are asking reminds me of a recent trip to X, where someone asked me if I knew their friend Y, because Y was Nigerian. Sorry to disappoint but I try to keep with some trends but even I might miss some people.
IO: Oh no, I didn't mean if you knew him. I dont expect you to know everyone. Because he is an actor I just asked.
Me: hmmm, OK. I don't know who that is. Sorry!
IO: Where will you be staying?
Me: XYZ....
IO: What do you do for work?
Me: XYZ
IO: stamps passport for 6 months

I later checked and the guy is a model and I actually recall his marriage to a celebrity makeup artist crashed <1year. I don't know him as an actor though and his name didn't ring a bell at the time.

POE details from a while back.

Depending on the Airline, they will request for Covid test at the transit country but CBP won't request for it in U.S.A

ABUJA TO LAGOS ON VALUEJET
I flew on Valuejet Airline from Abuja to Lagos on their Bombardier CRJ-900 Aircraft, Valuejet is a new airline that commences flight operation on 10th October, 2022 with flights to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Asaba and Jos. The Airline was founded in 2018 by Kunle Soname, the Chairman of the sports betting website Bet9ja and owner of Portuguese football club C.D. Feirense
Overall, it was an excellent flight and I'm looking forward to flying with them again.

Good evening guys. A friend is inviting me to the US and hes taking care of the airfare. He sent me his credit card reading. Do i need a separate account statement from him for the B2 Visa interview ?

I have also printed my account statement. Urgent suggestions needed.

You stand a better chance if you are self sponsored. They don't even look at account statements. Just go with yours.

Hello everyone,

Please I and my husband want to apply for a B1/B2 visa as a family, is this doable or do we apply separately? Do we need one interview date or two? Please advise.

We are just going for vacation.

PS our son is American. Thank you.

If your child is American then you already know the process. You need one date. Fill your ds 160 then go to your portal and update the Info. If you encounter any challenges then go to the other group and ask questions. You will get a faster response.

Hello

Please my husband erroneously chose interview waiver for our appointment scheduling? How do I cancel it and change it to regular?

Book your flight to LAX
Los Angeles
You can be in the mountains (Big Bear or Mammoth Mountains) learning to snowboard in the morning and be sitting at the beach sipping mojito as you watch the sunset by evening.

Next day you can hike to Hollywood Sign and by evening, walking down Sunset Boulevard.

Next day, rent a surf board and join the people surfing before sunrise (5am-6am) at Santa Monica Beach. By afternoon, rent a bicycle and ride from Venice Beach to Santa Monica trying loads of dishes and food.

By evening time, jump on a whale and dolphin watching tours ship at Redondo Beach.

If you are into clubbing, there are tons of dive bars everywhere, but Inglewood has more bars for blacks. Anytime from 3pm is fantastic.

Indulge in Spanish food as there are food trucks and very good Mexican restaurants everywhere.


Wow, that sounds like an incredible adventure packed with so much to do! From snowboarding to surfing, hiking to beach sunsets, and delicious food, it's an enticing itinerary!

Hi, POE story, arrived a few days ago.
Airline- Qatar
PoE - Houston
Officer- where are you headed today?
Me- told him the area.
Officer- How long are you staying?
Me - I am leaving on the ** of March
Officer - how much do you have with you.
Me: **k USD
Officer: any food items
Me: Yes, cassava flakes, I was still trying to figure out how to describe Ogbono and egusi in English.
Officer: any melon?
Me: Yes and spices ( best way I could describe ogbono)
Officer: take off your glasses... takes my picture and biometrics
Passport not stamped.

Just say garri, egusi, ogbono, kilishi, etc.
They know these things already
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by 9jaStar: 6:38am On Dec 05, 2023
Hello wonderful peeps,

Pls I have a few questions

1. Is being vaccinated against Covid 19 compulsory? Yes (as of the time of typing this)

2. Can I bring along foodstuffs such as yam flour, grounded egusi, crayfish and ogbono, and gari ? Yes you can, as long as they are all ground/blended, placed in ziplocs, and labeled appropriately

3. is my i-20 and my admission letter okay at Poe? Yes

4. will $2000 be sufficient as a BAT for the poe agent. ? Yes

I just wanted to add that you don’t necessarily need to use Ziploc bags. Any regular plastic bag will do. Labeling is also not necessarily needed

Hello
I'm planning on going on vacation during with my children during their midterm break in Feb, as Easter won't be possible due to obligations at home and work.
A friend is telling me that we might be turned back at POE because the kids are believed to be in session and it might look as if we have immigrant intent.
Anyone had any issues with similar circumstances at POE?
