Simmer down, miss.
Funnily enough, Cosade isn't someone you should be picking this with. He isn't even one of those I've seen dole out derisive comments on here. You obviously misunderstood him, he meant good, only that his advice wasn't all positive; it wasn't what you wanted to hear. But there was nothing disparaging in his comments. He's even apologised! So, abeg just calm down. E dakun

Thank you

With her well, but as God did it na window 8.
I told the woman if she could allow me tell her something b4 the interview commence she said I should proceed, I told her I might stammer during the conversation but she should forgive me it it happens she smiles at me but she didn't want me to sense it because she knows that fear comes at times when questions is asked.

this is the closest I have ever had and it lost right away IN a nanosecond, immediately I saw that white at first I was thanking God for perfecting everything already and feel so happy. Right now I feel bad I did the needful red, prayed, fasted and gave needy money so that God favour can fall upon me too

TRAVEL AND POE EXEPRIENCE


My flight was for 6:25am using air maroc.got there 2am and met a baba who adviced to wrap my boxes with cellotape and weigh. He helped but at a price(if you can wrap and weigh at home better for you,this will help save cost and Wahala. Dunno if it applies for every airline.

15mins later,we were asked to queue and check in.i didn't stay for long cos I came pretty early. The air maroc representative informs me I have excess luggage , something I checked but he insisted, I left to offload.you are allowed to check in two luggages 23kg each and one carry on 10kg. When I got back the guy was cold to me,I was indifferent as another baba that unwrapped,reweighed and rewrapped my luggage with another price informed me that, they have a way of adjusting the scale so you tip them (note:come early and excess luggage costs N56000).

My air maroc experience wasn't pleasant especially the seats very uncomfortable and food but I'm grateful for them been cheap and taking me to my destination in one peace. The 11hrs layover in morroco wasn't bad. We were taken to a lounge with mini beds and given lunch (I know people would say you paid for it, in Nigeria kolewerk)

Landed newyork and when I saw my luggage, I almost cried. I used those plastic boxes and it was all broken.

POE, the guy in the box tells me to pass my passport and i20 and I did. Then he asked me if I brought in perishables and I replied no. He asked me to place my hand for thumb print and took a snap shot of me.then he told me have a wonderful stay.

I didn't book connecting flight to Houston from newyork (I didn't cos eventuality of delayed flight) when I went their local airlines almost $700 dollars. I varnished!!!!!

I took a taxi to grey hound $60 plus tax then , I got my ticket to Houston $245+$15 for second luggage cos first luggage is free.

Their bus system is terrible o! Depending on how many cities you go through , you keep stopping and transferring to a new bus, with delays and confusing schedule.(ask questions o if you would use the bus or better still don't! Except if your trip is for 6hrs or a day max.

Bottom line I am grateful to everyone, your helpful comment and @textrem for encouraging me. That what people need really.


Please we are loosing the discipline we do have onthis forum o. Is it just me been to sensitive. To be honest if that's how I met this forum, I wouldn't have been informed, enlightened and encouraged by people's feedbacks


Thank you all once again ,another phase begins

Oh man, what's going on here?..... lots of conflicting advise here lately. You can't study and work - a sustainable job, at the same time being an international student. The job you may get as an int'l student would be a petite on campus job. You're not allowed to work off campus. Depending on your location, cost of living in a city would be more than what you make from an on campus job. By on campus job I mean working in bookstore, cafeteria, front desk, physical plant etc.

In conclusion, be financially prepared before leaving Nigeria. Don't have the notion that you're coming to work as a student in U.S. Reinstatement is a hard process and getting paper for an out of status lady is very hard, unlike for an out of status guy.

Thanks a lot for the info,I will verify from him too

Just so you know,

Greyhound is not "terrible"! they have been in business for over 100years. They give you "value" for the amount you paid.

It is stupidity for a traveller to think they will get "cheaper" airline tickets when they arrive. How in the world do people plan their trips like that?

Its not winter yet I would have told you to take some pictures in the snow in front of McDonald's and post on your SM platforms. Your people back home will be waiting grin

Since you did not bring some egusi and dry fish, its a pretty nice Sunday grab some cheeseburger from a decent restaurant tell them to hold the pickle a side of freshly cut home fries and appetizer will be nachos with some cold water with lemon ( you need it)

Dont forget to tell them its your first night in the States and see the reception that follows your "peaceful" and not "pieces" arrival grin

Welcome to the United States of America grin

POE EXPERIENCE! cool


I checked in EGYPT Air (TO JFK) online to make life easy for myself and choose my own Seat for the whole trip.
JFK to Destination (DELTA Airline). GTB Card.(pls take this card to US ohhh )

So i finally got the UBER ride after the third try!! trip to the airport was awesome and cool nice conversation with the UBER driver.
however when we got to MMIA departure, my guys were not allowed to com in embarassed embarassed embarassed i really felt bad.
Passed through their CBP officer/metal Detector/ Bag Scanner. omo those officers there no get chill abeg; i wish Our police officers were that tough.

When to the EGYPTAir Stand and weighed my Luggage. You guest right, they were dam heavy!! i had to buy ghana must go(to reduce the weight) and still tip the guy self to allow me.. (at the end of the day i should have just bought lighter and more flexible Bags with rollers)please don't buy boxes for Yanga OHH... just get something light that you can roll in the Airport.
lesson learnt: if you have alot of load, try to carry four bags 2Check in Bags, a carry on Bag and a School Bag, this combination would help you sort out and over weight issues.dont carry any thing like indomie (Onion;though they never checked it self), kilishi, cellotape,scissors or any perishable in carry On, put them in Check-in Bags (thank me later).

So filled some pointless card and went through Immigration.. they almost seized my KILISHI but i begged like a baby... lol
plus i gave out some cash just to offload m naira notes. but the CBP at the scanner don't smile ohh (don't try tipping self).

EgyptAir make Sense Abeg, nice experience, Decent food too. Egypt Air lodged us at Le Passage Hotel Cairo really cool place, Men plus two meal vouchers for Dinner and Breakfast. omo na buffet OHHHH!! chop and DIE chikena (fear come dey catch me sef). the hotel room fine sef.
EGYPTAIR rocks..my only issue was one spoilt black lady that sat near me spoilt kid.... SMH. and yeah on the 10:55 hrs flight from cairo to JFK you get two meals.... All in All USE EGYPT AIR Abeg if you are on a Budget.... cool

Headed to Baggage claim to see my load, then i started looking for free wifi embarassed embarassed had to got to Terminal 5 i used the Free Air train Service. Abeg use elevator if you carry plenty Load.. Omo i nearly mess up for toilet never knew it was infrared activated flushing thank God for engineering i for Jones tire for US..,.whew. chilled at new york for the night then off too Destination.
