Chitowns my hometown, wahdyumean
I sha be igboro. If you were in Uniben in those days, Chicago's got nothing on you.

constance234:

I graduated from Uniben too o, and we do every that year. Still i dey dread Atlanta sef talk more of Chicago, the Violence in the US is on a whole different level. A whole city as big as Chicago can't be all dangerous for sure, but i won't be visiting soon lol.

nefertitiram:


Greatest of the greatest of the greatest uniben!

That's y I said avoid southside and westside. Stick to Northside, downtown and the suburbs. The entire city isn't a hellhole

TWoods:


Red-lobster and "exotic" should not be in the same sentence.

nefertitiram:


A simple Google search of the meaning of exotic will help you.

Red lobster is exotic to us the same way ofe nsala and ugba is exotic to you

TWoods:


considering my mother is igbo and i do have a bag of ugba in my freezer at the moment...

Sorry for your ordeal, but I must tell you that the CBP officer was magnanimous not to have issued you an order of "expedited removal" because he/she has the authority to do so. The permission to withdraw your application for admission is a privilege and not a right.  It is solely within the discretion of the CBP officer.

Since you were allowed to voluntarily withdraw your application for admission which means you have not been banned and can re-apply at anytime even though it may raise concerns and questions by a consul. Be prepared to argue your case with your strong ties and hope for a visa officer that will be patient enough to listen to your stories at POE.

Why I won't blame your uncle is the lack of preparedness on your own part.

Did you call your "supposed host" a day to your arrival? Apparently you didn't, otherwise you should have been informed of their relocation and what have you. A hotel booking of less than 2 minutes would have been sufficient.

Why were you sent to secondary in the first instance? You must have given conflicting answers or CBP officer wasn't satisfied with your preliminary answers.

At secondary inspection; was there any incriminating messages found on your phone? What about your baggage? Any work document?

I need to ask because it is rear for a passenger with enough funds coming to the U.S on holiday be turned back at the ports.

You failed to prepare. Good luck reapplying

democrat4:
. There was nothing on my phone. The real issue was the address, I even suggested that I will make a hotel reservation. Now, what are my chances if I reapply.

This so called 'village people' are all busy now travelling doing omugwo o, so no time to winchie anybody lol. Personally i feel there is more to the guys story. His Uncles wife is in another state and he landed in another without an onward ticket there. Same aunty that should be picking him up in New york.. His uncle giving him a Gf's number in lieu of the wife's number and he knowingly or unknowlingly provided false information to a cbp officer.

To buttress your points further,
CBP for Don even vex say uncle due cut shows for outside. You know oyinbos no too due like DAT kain tin. Esp if the girlfriend Na USC and uncle no get pali.
Aunty said she "will" buy him tkt, why wasn't it bought earlier?
He had cash but said he "will" look for a hotel cos uncle had messed up, why wasnt it done earlier?

Why was he sent for secondary inspection? Something must have set off the CBP... chai! Chain reaction.

Democrat4 , I for like make you go Dubai.

Uniben... that one na syria now....By the way you're free to post pictures of your stay in U.S I believe this will encourage some of us to give traveling to U.S a try.

Mba, my face will show

Codeblues:
@ LadyGuinivere, Seyewest, Omobendel and other gurus in the house.
I do not intend to go with my family obviously because of cash and their schools. I have previously traveled to Canada (visa expired) but the question is I have been told by someone that why do I want to go on vacation without my family as this may raise an eyebrow from the VO and note that we have never traveled as a family before. I am gainfully employed in Nigeria and I can afford the cost associated with my 10 days trip.

Will applying alone truly raise an eyebrow?
should I book a hotel or get I.V from an uncle in the states?

Thank you.
