I landed Boston logan airport some hours ago.

Me: Hey Good afternoon, how’s it going?
CBP: I’m doing good, where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos Nigeria
CBP: purpose of visit
Me: Business and Visiting my Elder Brother
CBP: How long are you staying for
Me: 3 weeks

She asked me to remove my face mask and captured me
Cbp: Apart from the last time you visited the US, have you been to the US before?

Me: No.
Cbp stamps my passport for 6months.

I went to baggage claim and was referred to Agriculture specialists. men those guys drilled me

CBP: Do you have any fruits or meat?
Me: Nope (I didn’t know my Mum packaged garden egg and Yam for my Elder Brother), the cbp checked and saw garden egg, yam and ungrounded Egusi.
He told a white CBP lady to depose all the Egusi and the reason was because I didn’t grind it.
He asked me where I did covid test , I said in a private Laboratory in Benin City Nigeria, then he said some Nigerians pay 50k and get fake covid Report from the airport, as I was about replying he said I shouldn’t bother to argue about it so he doesn’t take it further and his friend who is a Nigerian told him.
The CBP guy said he would have fined me $300 for bringing those stuffs but this is gonna be like a warning.
He scanned my passport and told me to go.



Congratulations.

Please did you book a return ticket?

Definitely she would also be masturbating ofcourse it is impossible to be watching porn and not masturbate. I no fit talk much watch this video on what masturbation and porn is really all about so you can see for yourself what you are about to get yourself into if truly you want to marry her, then you can make up your mind.

This video is also for anyone struggling with pornography and masturbation out there...

Dr Okonko my big oga, get well soon. Poorly reported, the wife hired thugs and they descended on him.

I cried and cried when I realized he was the one.

A nice doctor......... 4 of my mum's grand kids were delivered by him.

Wrong reports move faster..... I look at people's comment and weep for height of ignorance. That evil wife needs to be dealt with.

SmartKitty:

VO didn't change anything, it's a standard visa writing always is saying B1/B2.

I am not dumb to have said that earlier.

There is B1, B2 and B1/B2.

I applied for B1 because i didnt want to make the same mistake i made with previous Canadian visa application.

But the VO told me and i quote "I am going to change your visa application from B1 to B1/B2, so that can use it for both business and tourism".

approved b1/b2. Lagos embassy. and i have to say, I couldn't have done it without this thread.

vo: where are you going to?
me: university name, town, state
vo; what are you going for?
me: i was invited to present a paper at 'university name' at 'conference name'
vo: whats that?
me; i explained the conference in more detail
vo; how long are you going for?
me: 6 days
vo: have you left nigeria before?
me: yes, been to a few countries in europe. spain, netherlands, italy. ive been across africa, morocco, mauritius, etc. I love to travel
vo: what do you do?
me; i work as a consultant on XYZ project
vo: how much do you earn
me; 850k a month
vo: are you married?
me: no
vo: any kids?
me: no
vo: tell me about your paper
me: i ramble for about 30 seconds. (he is nodding his head as if its enough abeg)
vo: i'm going to approve your visa.... (hands over pink slip)

observations/advice:
1. i wasn't asked for any documents. in my application as I was going for a conference, i selected only B1 ( i got that tip from here)
2. i prepared my questions and answers and rehearsed (nairaland tip). even yesterday i read the thread and saw a lady answered her question immediately with the name of the course, venue, state. so i updated my answers so my response will be concise (another tip from here)
3. i didnt hesitate with my answers (the benefit of rehearsing) . too many people were saying 'ehn?', meanwhile me far away could hear the questions
3. don't ramble. be confident. don't lie on your application. i've been refused over 10yrs ago and even though i didnt do biometrics, I mentioned it. (nairaland tip) LIES WILL MAKE YOU NERVOUS.
4. don't engage in chatchat with people. all that 'naija is bad/they arent giving visa's etc etc. it ruins your energy. be silent and focus on why you are there (my personal advice)
5. they were approving and refusing people. the vo i met refused a lady for student visa because the course date was in the past. he advised her to get a new i20 from the uni. he refused a mama who couldn't explain what she did there her last visit for 2mths. they aren't demons. they have their reasons for either refusals or approvals.

Good luck to all. I hope this helps.



Looks like same scripted question asked during my interview. It was for a conference.

Got my visa. Applied for B1 but the VO changed it for B1/B2. Passport returned 2 days after.

Good afternoon House,

Please can anyone advise on university of South Wales, Pontypridd Campus here?

How is getting part time job overthere like?
Can a dependent get full time job fast?
How is accommodation and life generally?
Is it a school you can advise someone to go?

Please help a friend is about to make a decision.

It all depends on the principal factor why you choose USW?

Ì can't tell you it's easy, or hard. It all depends on your search level. I know of people who started working 2weeks -1month from arrival date.

For dependent, I don't have an idea.

Just like every other school/off campus accommodation. You can get as low as 45p/week or high as 118p/week

Like I said, it all depends on what you want to study. Library, SU, sports facilities..... fantastic.

So how did u go about it,did u opt for walk- in even with ur superpriority?

Fast tracking your desicion making is different from walk-in.

Walk in means I come to TLS any time of the day and do my business at a fee of 42k.

If you have the money and you need the decision urgently..... Super priority + walk in......���
