I don't know what they did to the meter thing that made me see 227$. From the airport to Manhattan. I was furious, but needed to get going. Gave him 300,only for him to return it,saying I gave him 3$. I couldn't do anything, I gave him another 300$. He came down to help bring out my luggage. When I stepped out of the car, my waist bag dropped in his car. He picked it,asking me to put it in my box,before bad guys snatch it. Acting all nice asking me to take care of my health.
I had 400$ inside an envelope stuck in the bag. The ID!OT took the money.

I got to the hotel only to realise all that's happened.

JFK to Manhattan $227?No,it cant be possible.Sorry for the experience you had,wish I saw this when you first posted it,the taxi driver will refund you double.

Terminal 7 is one of the good ones. Easy in and out access. Plus if you fly first or business class, you would be out of the Terminal

in like 20~25 minutes max.

Arrived ORD by 3:30pm (flew Emirates)...omo, come and see crowd. After going round and round in a never ending queue, I finally scanned my passport and printed the receipt and shortly after directed to an officer...

Cbp...is this your first time in America

Me...no, this is third visit

Cbp...when last did you visit

Me...2016

Cbp...who are you visiting

Me...A friend

Cbp...same friend you visited on your previous visits

Me...yes

Cbp...how long will you be staying

Me...16 days

Cbp...where do you leave and what do you do

Me...Lagos and I work at ******* as ********

Cbp...do you have any food

Me...yes and I've declared all

Cbp...Welcome again to America, stamps me in for 6 months

Me...Thank you

Meanwhile, a naija guy that was ahead of me was stamped for just 3 weeks (the duration of his ticket), he stayed for 4-5 months on his previous visit and the Cbp officer kept grilling him about that.
This is my second entry through Chicago, it's not that bad except your story has k-leg.

Yup, I kept saying it since that ORD ain't bad it just depends on how consistent and plausible the story is, on the part of the traveller. Some people stories dey always get K-leg and then they come crying on NL how they were sent back.

Enjoy your holiday
