imperiouxx: Bro, please I have one more questn, my family that filed for me actually live in columbia and I dnt really want to stay there, can you advise a newbie like me to relocate to New york and start life there? I plan to enroll for CNA program first, I heard 2weeks course is available, and while working as a CNA, I can then enroll for the courses in community college like you advised me. Can I actually pay my rents and bills from the CNA and is there something like 2 weeks CNA course for real and are there jobs for them ? @imperiouxx, please I still need your guidelines |

anikemoses: That noodles and maggi chicken ish depends on your POE. I remember when my sister flew in through atlanta, the items were seized but when my parents flew dubai to US in november the items weren't seized. |

Hello Nairalanders, I trust everyone is good. Just to appreciate all the gurus in this forum and all the people that have been posting their experiences. I got an offer of admission from University of North Dakota for fall 2016 MS Geological Engineering. I have learnt a whole lot just being on this forum. I have no question to ask for now. I will post my transcript mock at the due time (120days rule) and post my success transcript thereafter. Thanks. 1 Like |

penroll55:I flew in through JFK, mine wasn't seized, but for the egwusi, ogbono, crayfish. Naija pepper, I will advice you to get them dried probably grinded before you come, and try to declare the items. |

vivyval:No exceptions on the baggage allowance for emirates except you're ready to pay $180 for additional bag. Pack your stuff in clear ziploc bags or any clear packaging. Try not to use any paper to wrap anything. They will give you issues at MMIA. Don't put powdery stuff like milk, pepper, garri or yam flour in your hand luggage. They will throw it away. Make sure your electronic devices are charged. Have a great flight. 3 Likes |

dickoflife, 120days rule. means you can appear for you student visa interview within the 120 days to the start of your prospective program. say for instance, if you are starting fall 2016, classes starts about 22nd of August, count back from that start day to 120 days. appear for interview within those days and not after or before. dickoflife: |

dickoflife: Great question. Where did this 120-day rule come from? I learnt some students are even given visa 8 months prior to their program start date. Can anyone shed more light on this, because what the VOs clearly say is that one cannot enter the US 30 days or more earlier than the expected date of resumption. |

penroll55: When we came back to US in Dec, we weren't well informed. We took delta airline that had to first stop at Atlanta. We made mistake of not grinding the melon seed and was seized. They told us we should have grind it. Dried and ground seeds enter. Poultry produce including maggi chicken are not allowed. We have crayfish in another bag, which they didn't check/seize, so we don't know if it was skipped by chance or not. The ground pepper and ogbono were checked and passed. The Nigerian inspector at Atlanta's agric screening gave us a paper that contains info on this website: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/home The guy said if you have herbs, it must be soaked in alcohol or water before they can allow it in. But by then I have already given up on delta airline. We were later told that the restrictions at NY airports is not as tough as that in Atlanta. 4 Likes |

alabalobor:Sorry for your denials. Unfortunately, you weren't able to respond pretty well to questions and also unable to maximize your home ties. But not to worry, you'll get it next time if you do the "right thing". |

imperiouxx: Atlanta POE is legendary for seizing all sorts of things, I am never flying Delta Airlines again. I have never had issues flying in from a foreign country (amsterdam and spain) directly to O'Hare. At atlanta my indomie got seized i nearly cried. |

What do I need to say right?how are my expected to answer right?i want to learn,dats why I am here. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by MsNas(f): 8:00pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
imperiouxx:Like someone said, Atlanta has issues and I'm guessing its the sheer numbers of Nigerians that pass through that POE that caused that. I had everything you had when we came back in Jan via LAX. Even more, Peak Milk, Maggi Chicken, Indomie Chicken, Tubers of yam, ungrinded crayfish and even dried herbs that's not soaked at all. We got it in, no issues. But if a first timer isn't sure or the POE is strict, listen to imperiouxx and err on the side of caution. Those things can be gotten here so leave them in Naija. 2 Likes |

imperiouxx:But you can relocate with them now Don't mind me, just messing with you, sir |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by imperiouxx(m): 8:43pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
sirRiddy: Relocating with someone who only visited Nigeria twice would be a big problem, almost impossible. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by imperiouxx(m): 8:46pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
MsNas: Well, I won't make such mistake again. Delta got zero since then. The melon seed was a lot and not even mine. Watching them dumping it was sad. |
