Dear VO,

I already have the visa B1/B2 but I need a further clarification on the entry point.
While applying for the above visa one of my uncles who stay in Atlanta gave me the invitation.
I need to know if it is a must I go straight to Atlanta or I can go to any other state first before going to Atlanta because I have an immediate older brother in Texas who I really wish to see first and spend sometime him and his family before going to see my uncle in Atlanta.
I just want to be sure of the point of entry officer because I understand "that officers at the US border have the absolute power to grant, or refuse entry"
Though I have travelled severally to UK but never been to US that is why I'm seeking more knowledge before taking final decision.
Than you.

If that is the case he needs to get a good, true story clear in his head.
At the moment he is unclear and that will show to the point of entry officer who has absolute power to grant, or refuse, entry.

I already have the visa "B1, B2" but just want to be sure of the point of entry officer like you said "entry point officer has absolute power to grant, or refuse entry"
Though an immigration lawyer said it doesn't matter that you can come in through any state.
Though I have travelled severally to UK but never been to US that is why I'm seeking more knowledge before taking final decision.
Than you.

You have brother and uncle in Obamaland that you will visit.
You will need to show and prove VERY, VERY strong ties to return home or it is likely that you will be rejected as potential over-stayer.
Do not even think of point of entry problems until you get these sorted out.

I have the visa already if not I won't be bothered about entry point

Please I need clarification about US boarder.
In the process of applying for visa one of my uncles who stay in Atlanta gave me invitation.
My concern is I'm going to Texas first to see my immediate brother before going to Atlanta to meet my uncle, I want to know the implication of such action at the US entry border.
Thank you.
