Thank you again.

Please tell me why we should have a very hard time explaining it to cbp officer and what to do or say to not have that hard time. Yes we are travelling with 2 kids 8 and 6.

Meanwhile, I checked online and it seem it takes 12 hour thereabout to get to Orlando by bus from Washington DC.

Thanks

Permit me to ask, are you sure about this 12 hours from Washington to Orlando, Florida by bus!!!.

Please check your info again.

I strongly believe a flight would be better and more cost effective. Particularly on your inbound journey to Orlando. After spending multiples hours in the air plus stop over, i bet you you would not want to be in a coach or bus for that many hours plus the young kids with you. hmmmm

On your return journey say to New York back to Nigeai you can plan to go via bus and plan it better by breaking it into multiple cities and sleeping in B&Bs if needed than taking the journey at once. That way you would really enjoy seeing the states and driving though.

I hope this helps. Cheers

The only difference is that you can't use your laptop and tablet on flight to U.S

I used Turkish Airline on my last trip to the US. That was in mid march. There was absolutely no issues and mind you it was my first trip to the US and my POE was Chicago of all places.
So like as our ogas here have told you, if you have nothing to hide, you have no issues

why did you book your flight to New York? Hope you've purchased the bus ticket before traveling to U.S and also if the reason you decided to fly into New York is because it's cheaper than say it.

Hello house, I was to travel last month for a wedding anniversary but couldn't because my leave vacation wasn't approved. However, I intend travelling later this month or next month when my annual vacation is approved but to a different location from that filled in the DS160 form. Please would that be a problem?

It will be a problem if you don't have a good reason for your actions.

You have to explain why you couldn't make it and also this friend of yours I hope you know how He/She got into the U.S? This is important because if your friend enter and settle into the U.S illegally and converted it to Permit or even citizenship the CBP officer may not allow you into the U.S because they felt you will do the same... just be careful.
