Hi all! I would beg that we share our Point of Entry experience here, whether, USA, UK, etc...Just share them here to help others...I will be traveling soon too to the USA, so I wouldn't like to mess up. Hoping this thread will be helpful to others...but if it wouldn't, then there is no need to leave it open, I'll simply close it. But i think it will 2 Likes |

lol there shouldn't be any problem if your documents are valid, but due to the corruption of NIS you'll go through some barriers, just look for someone to pass you through, give him like 5k and you're good. |

Re: Share Your POE (point Of Entry) Experience Here! by cozybunch: 2:12pm On Sep 29, 2015 |
mama777: Circumstance do change, if for any inconvenience reasons you did not make the graduation, you simply explain them to the entry officer in u.s (cbp). It is same rule in most advance countries. Good Luck |
