While on d queue i jst dey observe d whitey for window5 (i guess he's a chelsea fan) because d idiot jst dey dash BLUE copies anyhow.

Congratulations. Kindly refrain from using derogatory words. The VOs are only doing their job. They don't like dashing out rejections as you've wrongly assumed.

calfavour:


Don't use that on them please

Ok modified. But nobody seemed to convince... He was too mean for my liking.

I don't get motivated by some transcripts I read here , just like the last one posted.....

Part 2 of the Travel Transcript
First I thank God for a safe trip, it's been God all the way.
So after spending about 12hours at Istanbul checking out all the different flavors of burgers they have, (tried chicken and chips too) and exploiting the WiFi wherever I found it, we boarded at 5:45. Went through normal checks, passport and I-20, (this time it was the big Airbus. The food was on point!) slept, woke up, watched a movie. After 10 long hours, we arrived Washington Dulles. I promptly filled the customs declaration form for all the Naija food I was carrying.
Then stood in line for CBP screening. Was quite busy today, spent like 1hr 30 mins on the queue.

I arrived and handed him my passport and I-20 first
CBP: hello, pls take off your cap
Plauses: sure!
CBP: ok that's you, are you a returning student?
Plauses: No, new student
CBP: okay, where are you going?
Plauses: West Virginia Uni
CBP: I see you're going for graduate studies, did you have your undergraduate here in the states?
Pls uses: No, Nigeria
CBP: so how did you get this admission?
Plauses: was a very competitive process, took standardized tests and applied, went through series of interviews to evaluate academic and professional prowess and they were quite impressed with my credentials because I was offered a full GA.
CBP: oh I see that's good congratulation. So this includes living expenses too?
Plauses: yes it does.
CBP : are you carrying any foodstuff?
Plauses: yes. Mostly dried foods
CBP: do you have any wet foods/liquids?
Plauses: No all dry foodstuff
CBP: how are you getting to Morgantown today?
Plauses: I booked a local flight to WV
CBP : okay great, welcome to America, here's your I-20

I left, went to claim my luggage and ran upstairs for my connecting flight boarding pass. They charged me $30 for each of my boxes because they said I am only allowed my Hand luggage and laptop bag. Every other checked bag would cost $30. So I paid $60. Would have paid more because my boxes were over 50pounds. But the guy asked me to just remove stuff and put inside my hand luggage that he wouldn't weigh that.
Concluded checking in, and the hunt for free wifi commenced,
