Travel / Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by tolma28(m): 6:19pm On Jan 31, 2019
I was also stopped by this officer before the exit door. He questioned me more than the CBP office than stamped me in initially.

fcisca:
POE Experience on Sunday 27 January 2019 was a breeze. Well almost
POE: Atlanta
CBP: Hi
Me: Hello
CBP: (Took my passport and Completed Custom declaration form, scans passport) And what is the purpose of your visit this time?
Me: to attend xyz conference
CBP: How long are you staying?
Me: yy days.
CBP: Do you have any food items in your luggage?
Me: Just noodles
CBP: Ok. Stamps passport. Have a good one

I went to pick my luggage -carry-on size but had to check it in because of my feminine orisirisi.
As I was heading for the exit, another officer saw me.
CBP-2: Ma'am where are you arriving from:
Me: Amsterdam
CBP-2: Did you visit any other country on this trip?
Me: Yes. my journey actually originated from Uganda.
CBP-2: Took my passport, placed it in a yellow-trimmed folder. This way, please...
So I had to go to secondary inspection. When it was my turn, the officer (a different one) asked same questions again. Me: same answers.
Said they would have to inspect my bag. As I opened it, another officer opened my backpack, and in the process, he saw my Official Passport. Picks it, opened it and goes: "ma'am" why aren't you traveling on your Diplomatic Passport and I replied that my US Visa is on my personal passport.
What is the purpose of your trip? Me: xyz Conference here in Atlanta. Do you have any food in your bag? Me: No, just noodles. Ok. You can re-pack your bag. Take the right to the exit.
The whole process took less than 10 minutes plus wait time. A lot of guys on Secondary Inspection were almost in tears due to the fear of missed connection.
Now contending with the crazy weather

Travel / Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by tolma28(m): 6:47pm On May 06, 2017
Got my visa late 2015 but since then i didn't travel to the USA. i got a job interview the month of Jan 2016 that i was was scheduled to travel so i have to cancel my travel plan because i didn't know what the job process will take. to cut the story short i eventually got the job which made me not to have time to travel at all in 2016 has i am not entitle to any annual leave since i just joined. Now in 2017 I'm entitled to annual leave but the cost of making a foreign trip now isn't something easy (like cost of ticket etc.) so am thinking i might not not use the visa cux I'm having like 6 months left on the visa. My question is, if i didn't use the visa hope getting another won't be a problem? and if i plan to travel maybe like August when the visa is less than 5 months to expire, can i still travel with using same visa and won't there be problem at the POE?

Travel / Re: Nigerians In Pretoria, Sunnyside, South Africa Suffering. by tolma28(m): 10:30pm On Jul 05, 2016
this is nothing but the truth. i have witnessed this times without number. that's one of the reason i stopped visiting Pretoria.

DSoj:
I'm not going to refer to this guy's incidence cos I don't know about it, but I live in Pretoria, and I can tell you authoritatively, that Nigerian guys living there are the cause of any shit they go through with the cops.

80% of Nigerian guys living in sunnyside are bad representatives of Nigeria.
U see them from 8am in the morning till midnight at pubs, drinking and smoking weed.
Very lousy set of people that make U feel ashamed U are Nigerian.
Live everyday like its Xmas.

Anywhere they are, its NOISE.
From noise to Fight.
Guys over 32 still doing cultism openly, in foreign land.
Shouting eye, aye on foreign land.

Ask the writer about Abari and Changes.
Ask him about Out of Africa and Swema.

That's were U will find these Nigerian guys, with no clear source of livelihood, looking for prostitutes. 24/7.

And as he said, the Yoruba guys are known for fraud (yahoo) and Igbos known for Drugs.
And annoyingly, they don't hide it.
They are lousy about it. They fight openly and loudly when they have "issues" among themselves like they are in Mushin or Onitsha and untouchable, believing if trouble comes, all they have to do is settle the police.

They make the few good Nigerians look bad.

The police guys are smart, they can read U. They monitor Nigerians. They know the bad ones especially those lousy about it.

I know a police guy that told me there are many undercover police that have infilterated Nigerians. They hang with them at the pubs. They watch and listen, they have pictures. They know where people live.
Some of the girls at the pubs and hangouts are police informants.

They themselves (police) are corrupt and not interested in seeing anyone go to jail, they just want their share of the ill-gotten money of Nigerians.

Hello House,

I am a graduate of Electrical/Electronic Engineering. I recently had my Certificates evaluated by SAQA and got an NQF Level 8. I graduated with a Second Class Upper degree, a good one at that.
I tried applying for a Masters by Research degree at the University of Pretoria,to my utmost surprise I was asked by the Admissions officer of the department of Electrical Engrg, UP to enrol for their Honours program and that I wasn't qualified to be admitted for Masters directly.
I was so surprised and furious, and sent her a mail telling her of my grades and SAQA evaluation but she reaffirmed that UP can only admit me for Honours.

It's really annoying! I can't imagine myself enrolling for a South African Honours degree after spending 5 solid years to get my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Nigeria.


Please guys I need suggestions on reputable schools in SA where I can do a Research Masters degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering.


Thanks in anticipation.

Uni Pretoria does not accept direct admission into Masters from bachelors. it's there policy not to. and don't forget that you pay double the fee of the local student.

I don't know if you can get a furnished accommodation in melville/auckland park/braamfontein for a week. It's a student area, and they give it out for a year.

why not try the backpackers in melville? melville international backpackers charges R150 per night for the dorm room and R450 per night for the single room. it is usually filled with European tourists, so if you are interested, you will need to book early.. (http://coasttocoast.co.za/backpackers/melville-international-backpackers)

if you like to party, it is also close to 7th street, which is liike long street in cape town.

Bro how safe is d environment. I mean melville

With the new immigration law it is not possible to convert a visitors visa to other types of permit (although I will neva underestimate d power of money exchanging hands). But above all I strongly advice legit ways of getting visas. Shalom

Hello gurus in the house, @samtol, @tyop etc please is it possible to get a study permit with a admission from a business school fr MBA course which runs for 2years and six months. The mode of the program is that all assignment is to be submitted through email but workshop (once a month) and exam (twice a year) to be taken in person at the school campus. Will the embassy in Nigeria grant a study visa?

Hello nairalanders,
I applied for an 8 day visa to attend a conference in capetown at the lagos office,and after a 3 week processibg timea I was refused a visa because 'the conference invitation letter was not signed'..i have gotten across to the conference organisers who have resent a signed letter.
Can I resend my documents immediately(next day) for reapplication?..can I also go to the vfs centre in Abuja which I hear is apparently faster with their visa processing and will it affect my visa processing.
Any timely response will be appreciated.
Thank you

I'm reading from where I stopped the last time (pg 108) and I'm not sure if you're satisfied already. I'll continue reading after this reply and if you're sorted already, good.

The SA government support "the power of attorney". Immigration officials may give him a hard time but he should stand his ground. He now has a Visa and should be allowed in. He only needs to have the visa pasted on his passport.

Also, before he leaves Nigeria, let him apply for transfer of visa from his expired passport to the new one. That way, immigration won't even know anything.

Cheers, and all the best.

Tanx TYPOP fr d follow up. Dwe are yet to submit the application. Becuz we are thinking that are we to add the old passport and the waiver letter to the new application? And wat is the chance of getting d visa approved? Also if we submit this coming monday can the visa be out by xmas?
