PHOOMI: The moment you have the feeling you're being delayed unjustly, tell them so and let them know if you're delayed further you'll lodge complaint with the "appropriate authority". I have relations as young as 16 that have travelled unaccompanied out of MMIA without any harassment because I have tutored them on what to do from the time they leave home till they get to their final destination. 6 Likes |

Amaizu: You will have to break down your journey in U.S I prefer you land in New York and take a domestic flight to Pittsburgh or fly directly to Boston I think it's nearer to Pittsburgh Best deal will be by September and you may see New York for less than N390K Flight to Pittsburgh should be around $80-$125 Good luck 1 Like |

PHOOMI:Missed my flight first time I travelled to SA because of those useless Immigration people. But on my flight to Yankee, it was a breeze through. For your first time, check in early and do immigration clearance early so no matter the delay based on "first timer" , you would be through with them before your flight takes off. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hi everyone and a happy Sunday, I'm grateful for all the advise that I've gotten here through the years. I have travelled to the U.S and just got back about a month ago. It was my first visit and I stayed only 3 weeks (even though I was stamped for 6 months to stay). Now I'll like to travel again in 3 months time for a visit. My question is my visa is for multiple entries (b1/b2). Can I travel as often as I want for the duration of the visa? By the time I travel again it would have been 4 months since my last trip. Is 4 months too early to travel back again. Will that be a problem at the POE? My last travel was for a conference but now I want to go for leisure for 2 weeks. I have my own business here at home and i think I deserve some break to rest for 2 weeks to clear my head. Seyewest & Co over to you all. I applied for and got my visa through advise her (with prayers too), and entered first time through advise from here too so I eagerly await your response on this. Thanks 1 Like |

Point of Entry Experience at Denver International Airport on 2nd August (on an F1 Visa). I was a bit scared due to the fact I had not secured an apartment before my flight and wifey insisted on me packing some foodstuff. Declared everything on the form issued, and proceeded to the interview. CPB scrutinized my documents, remarked that I came very prepared with a full kitchen, I replied with a smile that my wife made sure of that. Stamped me in after a little chit chat about when last I was in Lagos. Thanks to this great family for all the help..... For those traveling soon, please arrange to eat at your stopovers, I almost died of hunger on the 10hrs Lufhtensa flight from Frankfurt to Denver, meals were great, from how the other passengers were enjoying it. But for me that have been over spoilt with our Nigerian Delicacies, the instant transition to a piece of chicken in a greenish soup was just too much. 7 Likes |

jenny2007: B1/B2 visas are normally issued for multiple entries, check your visa to confirm "M" is stated under "Entry". Four months interval is not short to travel again if you can withstand the long travel time and fund it, without recourse to work in US. However, do not lose sight of the fact that you also need to do more business at home, so as to be able to fund further trips. As a business person, do not only make your trip a pleasure one, you can use the opportunity to look for things you can buy cheaply during trip and sell here. The dollar shops are usually of interests to people doing buying and selling. 1 Like |

Travelled last year November on BA enroute to Phoenix, Arizona. Quite a long trip. All along I have been going to the UK and Dubai. Trip was to ABJ - LHR - PHL - PHX. Was like are we there yet? So pretty exhausted on arriving Philadelphia and i was the last person on the arrival queue. The following conversation ensued (first in the states) POE(A young guy) - Hi Me - Hello POE - Can I have your passport? I gave my passport POE - First time in states? Me - Me POE checking and looking at my passport, said it sure look like you. Me - replied Yes (Visibly exhausted) POE - Final destination Me - Phoenix Arizona POE - Arizona! Exclaimed as if no one goes there. Why Arizona? asked Me - Cousin stays there with his family. POE - Hmmmm........... Ok. I will like to make this pretty fast ad possible, it's Friday night. Do you have anything to declare like meat or so? Me - mumbled something like have some bags made of cow hide. POE thought I said cow meat so had to explain what I meant so he passed me on through the xtrays for my bags. And that is it. My cousin said he's pretty ready for Friday night so will not be ready to go through much stress. 1 Like |

The US is no safe place for migrants anymore, not just Nigerians or Africans but all foreigners. It's very obvious Trump has hatred for migrants bot in his speech and actions.

The US is not safe for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS any-more. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS are welcomed to the US. If this was the case as you claimed, this forum will have dried up and the large crowds outside the US Embassy would have dwindled. Also, a more respectable source like AP, CNN (despite their fake news), UNITED NATIONS should be quoted not 'blogs'. john20177: |

Dear Mr. Seyewest, Thank you for all the candid advice here. I had to postpone my trip till last week in August because of work. I ask again, will it be a problem at POE that I am changing my destination from Florida to New York? Still vacation but will be staying with a friend in New York instead of a hotel in Florida. Thank you all!!! |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by seyewest(m): 3:40pm On Aug 07, 2017 |
Osemwenoye:No not at all.. just give them a good reason why you're changing your destination from Florida to New York. Also before you mention your friend at POE ask your friend about how he got to U.S it's important. 1 Like |

KaptainAfrika:Since you're so sure to differentiate between legal and illegal migrants, is this how Obama administration handled the immigration issues? By claiming to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it, because he's the messiah the holy book promised. And if you care to check the news, it's not just a blog, Reuters and al jazera mentioned , that's if you read real news at all since you made it obvious you engage well with fake news. Sorry I had to modify the comment since I thought that if you didn't hear or see the news, then you don't even listen to news so why tame it fake |

And no way cheap clothes are more expensive in the USA. If he is buying designer items in season, they are just as expensive in Nigeria if not more. If he wants to buy them out of season and less expensive, he should try Ross or Kohl's, Burlington Coat Factory or even TJ Maxx seyewest: |

My advice to you is always try to get to the airport early. Not only do you avoid the long queues, but you also get through Immigration and Customs faster. If anyone tries to obtain you, just smile politely and say no. They won't delay you. On one of my return trips back to Nigeria this year, one chap was asked for 'something'. Rather than quietly say no and continue on his way, this gentleman (I get the feeling he is one of those who has lived abroad for a little while and prepped for this on his way in) started one bug drama at the airport. He was screaming loudly about how he has nothing to give anybody, how they have been asking him since he got off the plane and this is what the problem of this country is. Unfortunately for him, he had about 6 bags or so. The officers insisted on inspecting every single bag, and took their bloody time about it. Customs first then NDLEA. I found out later from one of the workers at the airport that the guy was there almost till midnight while they 'inspected' his bags. By the end, he was the one begging them to 'take something' and let him go. And then they now charged him for attempting to bribe an officer PHOOMI: 5 Likes |

CNN is fake news. How many times have they had to apologise for reporting as genuine, things that turned out to be fake. I would leave the research to you, as I would die of laughter at the 'WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGISE FOR EARLIER REPORTS, THE ANONYMOUS SOURCES WE QUOTED TURNED OUT TO BE FALSE.' Heck even Wolf Blizter, a veteran journalist with CNN, ON AIR, corrected a fellow presenter on presenting unconfirmed sources, as a legitimate source. GEEZ! 9jaStar: |

THE US WELCOMES LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHO TO LET INTO THEIR COUNTRY. I AM VERY SURE YOU HAVE A DOOR THAT LEADS INTO YOUR HOUSE, BUT I AM ALSO SURE, YOU DON'T JUST LEAVE IT WIDE OPEN FOR EVERY ADAMU, BABATUNDE AND CHINEDU TO ENTER. DO YOU?! john20177: |

KaptainAfrika:Migration is as old as mankind. It's true everyone has different strategy of solving problems, but not in the cost of others peace. If you have sympathy, you'd prefer the Obama pattern of solving immigration issues than Trump's. "YOU DON'T JUST LEAVE IT WIDE OPEN FOR EVERY ADAMU, BABATUNDE AND CHINEDU TO ENTER. DO YOU?!" your words. Let me ask you, when the Westerners started flooding Africa, Asia and some part of South America for whatever reasons best not mention. Were they really invited ? Well, we choose to forget and ignore because history is violent. |
