You can get documents after staying for 10yrs in hiding then offer yourself for deportation then beg the deportation judge for green card.

If you are connecting, make sure you have enough time to get into JFK, then take the shuttle to EWR and then on to your destination. If you miss your flight, they should be able to put you on the next flight.

plenty options for JFK to EWR shuttle - https://www.google.com/search?q=shuttle+from+jfk+to+ewr&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS704US704&oq=shuttle+from+JFK+&aqs=chrome.2.0j69i57j0l4.7687j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

This is great to hear. it may be a cheaper option, as long as i have the domestic tickets already purchased.

Anyone with airlines or sites i could purchase domestic tickets from? i may purchase just a one way ticket considering we will have more luggage on the return trip and i am not sure what the baggage allowance will be.

My final question is: Will there be extra scrutiny at POE because i am arriving at a different airport from my final destination? In trying to save cost i am looking at the possibility of not missing a domestic flight after i must have made payment earlier. This is becoming hectic and my current considerations are: re-routing our international flight to Miami (ticket booked over a month ago and we are on a budget) or spending the summer in New York.

Please advice. God bless you all and I cant wait to share my POE transcript here
@Seyewest you are doing a great job. Thanks

Good evening all, your pieces of advice could be helpful here,

No 1: can i go with some bottles of alcoholic drinks in my checkered in-luggage{2 bottles of mumm champagne and a bottle of chivas wiskey) will it be a contraband issue?

No 2: can i go with my prescribed medicine e.g Viagra, though i cant find the Dr prescription.

Thanks

Greetings house,
Please, I will be heading to ohio next month but direct ticket to ohio is super expensive. Anyone with an alternative route plan for me that will be less stressful?. I will really appreciate it.
Regards

Or just simply take an Uber or Lyft?

nefertitiram:


Not at all. Take nycairporter shuttle for $16

There is an allowance for alcohol
Just check to be sure

it's possible if you get in touch with the US department of state or Immigration they will assist you with getting a legal stay.... Hopefully it will happen immediately you presented yourself to the authority for stay...Why did they trust you with a diplomatic passport? Those that did that are really mad.. because traveling on a diplomatic passport with the intention of migrating is biggest crime that can be committed... what a shame.

I think it's allowed but why not get the champagne in U.S instead of stressing over what will happen at the airport.
I have no idea what the policy on traveling with prescribed medicine is at the moment.

This is asylum seeking I guess.

If you claim asylum as soon as you enter you will be taken to a deportation holding facility, have your case heard by a deportation judge, God help you if he is a republican . Trump factor will enter the equation and you may find yourself in Nigeria before you say jack Robinson

Jamezy4u:
Please,

Between JFK(New York) and MIA (Miami, Florida) PoE, which one is less stressful or does not give much issues?

I need to fly to CRP, so considering taking flight to either JFK or MIA then to CRP finally.

All other advice/information/guide will be highly appreciated.

Proposed travel dates is btw 16th and 18th Aug

Thanks

All Border Officers have same training so for genuine traveler you don't have anything to fear at the PoEs. If your PoE is not your final destination, ensure you have valid bus tickets and/or confirmed air tickets for the onward journey to your final destination.

Thanks I just wanna be sure because I was thinking of using since it's a sure way to get visa easily but the other hands can my baby mama in the United States help me with documents through that process of entering the country I am just asking can't I swear an Asylum

You filed a petition for special immigrant status (Form I-360) no later than 6 months after your retirement.

...a surviving spouse of a deceased officer or employee of such an international organization
While maintaining your status as a nonimmigrant, you have resided and been physically present in the U.S. for a total of at least half (50%) of the last 7 years before you apply for adjustment of status or for a visa; and

Yes break your journey into half... fly into chicago and take a bus to Ohio or fly into New york and take a plane to Ohio.

@Adogbejiomoefe Please this is a thread for people with visa don't derail it, get a visa first and stop killing the fun for others.
Please end this conversation.
Thank you

I will advice you to buy your ticket to colorado before leaving Nigeria... Google about the flight experience on Egyptair.

Thanks seyewest but my concerns is US POE. Egypt is an Islamic country, hope they won't be asking many questions. Am travelling with my family seen less than $100 from newyork to Colorado.I will have the ticket with me.

So far you're not leaving the airport... What I'm concern about and you should be is the kind of plane they will use, How long is the layover especially when you're traveling with your family and if the airline will provide hotel for you incase of longer layover... People use Egyptair to U.S everyday.

@seyewest ,pls find breakdown below. Thanks

But I don't know if there will provide hotel

Please avoid North African airlines (not to be confused with the much better middle-east airlines)
They have no plan for layover for long layovers - no hotel, no vouchers, nothing.
Their planes are old.
But if you don't mind the discomfort, they are relatively cheap.

They sometimes provide accommodation to white,Asian etc but not to west Africans most times so you've to read on the flight experience and ground service of that airline.

Hey Guys,

So I'm back again. I've got a few questions and I'd appreciate your input. This is my first trip to the US BTW.

1. I'm traveling in two weeks, August 8, flying Egypt Air to NY. I've already paid for a hotel in Brooklyn for three nights. But it's different from the one I used for my visa application (I had to cancel it because it wasn't really as nice as the new one and I was supposed to pay on arrival). I hope that won't be an issue?

2. I'm attending the Youth Assembly at the United Nation from August 8-12 in New York, after which I'd be going to Austin, Texas till August 29 when I'd return to Nigeria. I have my return ticket already for NY -Austin-NY. Which address do I fill in?

3. My host in Austin is a friend and an American. Do I ask the person to send me an invitation letter in case I'm asked at the POE?

4. My cousin (not direct blood cousin) lives in Hampton, Virginia. She just emigrated last year with her daughter, to meet her husband, who is also my cousin. She had asked me to bring some foodstuff for her and some hair extensions too. But during my visa application, I filled that I do not have any family in the US. What possible response can I give? Or can I say I brought them for a friend?

5. What's the minimum amount of cash to carry? Is $300/$400 fine? I have up to $1000 on my VISA card.

Graçias.

Anyone with ethiad experience please. Bin asking 4 a bit please. My question was over looked n the person that asked after egyptair was answered.

How many days will you be spending in U.S and you can use another hotel so far it's hotel.. just confirm the reservation before leaving Nigeria.
Use the hotel address and let them know you're in U.S for United Nation youth Assembly if you will be staying for more than 20 days you can take food stuffs just take it easy because I normally don't like that.

No we did not ignore you... we've many instances about Etihad on this thread which you can go through... Just for info do you know that the POE is in Abu Dhabi not U.S.A so you will be screened and stamped in Abu Dhabi by U.S CBP officer.
How long is your layover?

Thanks guys. If it were just me ,I can manage but with family don't know. Will still be checking. My leave starts anytime from October. Thanks once again.
