Moniro: You need a round trip ticket, besides no airline would allow you to board with a one-way ticket (except immigrants and students on F1 visa) and it's also not economical. 4 Likes |

Moniro:Sure you need a return ticket and no airline will allow you fly with a one way ticket... Do you have plan to return to Nigeria at all? |

Hello @seyewest and crew Nice job your doing here. I've asked the VOs at the NIV forum but their response is late in coming. First, my wife and kids are LPRs and I just got a B1/B2 visa to visit them. The airport indicated on the ds160 is Phily but air fares to the place are sometimes double what you get for JFK, which i didn't know at the time of filling the form. To conserve money, I bought ticket for flight to New York with Etihad. I have also bought a Greyhound bus ticket from New York to Delaware. Will this be a serious issue? Also, I've not seen my kids in over a year, the two of them requested that I come a little earlier than I mentioned on the ds 160. How does one explain all these to the CBP officers? Thanks in anticipation of your counsel. |

"To conserve money, I bought ticket for flight to New York with Etihad. I have also bought a Greyhound bus ticket from New York to Delaware..." THIS SOUNDS REASONABLE. topexavier: |

xest: The US Border Agents have the legal authority to conduct searches (including searching phones and laptops) at the United States border that a police officer on the street wouldn’t. If they find "something funny", they would either laugh if off and let the person in, make an arrest or refuse entry. So it depends on what the "something funny" is. If they find a chat on the phone discussing how to work in US or your credentials in one's bag, be sure that person would be refused entry. 3 Likes |

Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by KaptainAfrika: 6:19pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
Nothing funny should be on your phone. - No child porn - No farewells to friends and family, and prayers on making the US your new home - No downloaded copies of credentials - Of course, no terror plans - No US Contacts, especially if you said you don't know anyone in the US. Etc. xest: 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Hi Folks, I came in through Logan Intl Airport, Boston just yesterday and it was a breeze. No serious interview other than how long are u staying, what food items do you have on you etc. I flew Qatar Airways, i should say it was indeed a long flight. I just want to thank everyone who's share their experience here. Though I wanna check with you guys, the CBP stamped our passport but the 6months deadline wasn't specified, infact the "until" date was blank. Is that the new trend? 1 Like |

cerezo:How cheap or expensive was your flight ticket. |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by KaptainAfrika: 2:44pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
Hint: the number of days filled in your form / stated at your interview, should be number of days/weeks you should be in the US. I think its a plan to see what people will do. cerezo: 2 Likes |

KaptainAfrika: Hmm..I hope thats not the case. Perhaps I need to shed more light. I got the visa since last year and I mentioned I was going to Orlando for 2 weeks. I couldn't go last year as planned because of projects I was involved in. This year I decided to review the planned holiday and felt going to a friend's place in Boston might just be cheaper due to prevailing economic condition. And thats what I did, though I am convinced that the friend is a citizen. I was skeptical about this change initially but my friend kept reassuring me it's not an issue. To my utmost surprise, I was not asked anything wrt this at the POE. Knowing and being convinced of your host's circumstances in the US is very key. |

Yeah, no knowledge is wasted because it could be the difference between entry or deportation. cerezo: |

cerezo: some cbp officers write the date, some dont. Go to this website (https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home) click on 'get most recent I-94', then click on 'consent and continue'. input the required data correctly...it will show you your validity date. 1 Like |

Good work guys for the information. |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by KaptainAfrika: 12:41pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
Yes they do. But you will need to apply for a visa to leave the airport, contact the airline for that. Also be careful, they may have a stop in a country that you may need a transit visa in, for example, Canada. So make sure before booking. Their flights are good. ayabemm16: |

KaptainAfrika: It's not a plan to see what people will do. Don't over think it. Unless stated otherwise, you have the privilege of remaining in the US for up to 6 months. Anything longer is a possible breach of visa terms. |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by KaptainAfrika: 10:10am On Aug 21, 2017 |
Yeah. But then unless you are retired, a pregnant woman, or in the US for medical reasons; what will you be doing in the US for 6 months... manifest: |
