Hello guys, I have missed a lot here. I just recovered from the jetlag. A few lines of travel transcript won't hurt an ant, I guess.

Flight was scheduled for 8:50pm, July 20,2015. I did arrive the airport 3hrs before departure time. First thing on arriving the airport was to weigh my luggage, unfortunately, all my bags weighed more than the stipulated Kg, one of them weighed 44kg instead of 23kg. I was in disarray and completely paranoid, scared of coughing out $175 for extra luggage. Fortunately, a young man came to my aid. Trust Naija, nothing goes for free but he helped reduced my burden, however, I had to resort to travelling with two different "Ghana must go" bag, like Osufia who travelled to Amelika. That bag eventually served as my hand luggage, when everybody was rolling theirs I was dragging mine, I couldn't help but buy a faze cap to cover my shame.

Now, at the immigration checkpoint, Slimmy05's aunt came to my rescue. Consequently, Nobody searched my bag and I didn't pay a dime of any sort. After checking in my bag, I headed straight to the airplane, there was no time to play with people who went to the airport with me. The airplane left 5 mins before departure time.

We had a stopover in Dubai with a 2hrs 30mins layover time. We left Dubai exactly 9:20am. From Lagos to Dubai was about 7hrs and Dubai to Chicago was double the time from Lagos to Dubai. I had fun with the Indian bloke -Grofder - a Student of Stevenson College in Chicago- who sat beside me. He made the 14hrs in air super interesting. #but that guy can eat for the whole of America#.
We landed Chicago Int'l airport at exactly 2:52pm. Unfortunately, we could not disembark from the aircraft because there was no parking slot for our aircraft, we arrived almost an hour earlier than our arrival time. We had to wait for more than 1hr30mins before we could come down from the airplane. Immediately after that, I headed straight to the toilet, because I never wanted what happened in July 21,1845 to repeat itself. I did the needful and headed for the biggest interview of the day. I was on the queue leading to POE for more than an hour. Eventually, it was my turn to answer some questions;
me: Good evening
CBP officer: How was ur trip
me: cool, thanks
CBP officer: your passport
me: here
CBPO: typing while holding his chin and squinting
CBPO: I can't see any information linked to this Sevis number and also why was this I20 sent since March?
Me: (in my mind, if na joke, oga stop am) Well, my admission was for Spring 2015, I deferred, and that's the updated I20.
CBPO: Oh! I see. What course is that?
Me: Mathematics
CBPO: Your fingers on that, your right first, now ur left. Ok, now look straight to the camara. Thank you.
CBPO: Where did u study in your undergraduate
Me : Nigeria
CBPO: you mean all your life you've been living in Nigeria?
Me : Yeah!
CBPO: impressive, welcome and enjoy your stay in the United state.
Me: Thank you, with a smile.
After leaving his post, I started bouncing like a real American, went straight to claim my luggage.
The rest story ain't for public consumption because I was frustrated and disappointed.

The real hustle is here if you care to know, however, whatever it is, the hustle is worth it.

Thanks to God Almighty. Thanks to my TripAdvisor,Slimmy05.
Nairaland is my virtual home and everyone in here is my real buddy. Let the progress begin! See you guys soon.

slimmy05:
in the bill pay section: the account name is SEVISFEE, account number is your coupon number, then amount $200. He would be charged extra $10.50.

Walspring:


That your relative is funny.. Can (s)he ask the agent attending to him/her how to fill the form over there?

Is (s)he filling the form online or making payment online ?

Anyway he will write it inside the form and not outside the form

i think (s)he will write in a box after where (s)he wrote the receiver name which is US bank, DHS, better still let him/her ask the Western union agent over there.

You go to www.fmjfee.com and check to confirm payment status

texrem:


tell her to open the website....google it....she will fill the form n make the payment on ur behalf....it easy from there..

slimmy05:
No, do what you have to do. I hope you're ready for the $65 fedex shipment fee. Make sure you fill it on time with your card details.

slimmy05:
good for you. but know you will pay for insurance and other fees too, but shouldn't exceed $1200. you've gone for interview?
