Thanks in anticipation.

Good afternoon my good people,

Please i want a clarification on a particular issue. My family with four children have a valid VISA (B1/B2) to US. But my hubby business does not permit him to travel now. My question is that "can I travel with four children to US without hubby". Though he is ready to sponsor the trip. I heard from someone that only two children are allowed with one adult at POE. is it true Sir/Ma?

oketg:
I team, i had B1B2 visa and i want to visit for for two week but may stay for two or three months if my visa is stamped 6 months. My question is can i buy one way ticket and soughtout return ticket from there.

Sir, Likely the airline will not agree to carry you. You need a return ticket if you are travelling with a visit visa. That said, it is best to stick to your plan according to your form/interview.

Hi, seyewest, am also travelling with some foodstuff that my sis requested for.( catfish and panla, also crayfish, maggi, curry, egusi) hope I won't have issues? Thanks.

leboss6:
for wetin now , see as u just call 3k dollars as if it's 300$ , especially in this days of cashless policy , with 800$ u are good to go ,PTA sef is 500$....$800 dollars is very very ok

uniquema:


Just make sure your maggi is not chicken flavour, My bag was searched because when the CPB officer (Agric) asked me the flavour of the maggi cubes I had, I told him I don't know cos it was packed by my wife and he requested to see it. After confirming it was beef flavour, he asked me to repack my bag and go.

oketg:


Thanks for clearity but staying beyound 2weeks if stamped 6 months is not really a crime.

I got a visa 10months ago for a uncle son's wedding in Houston. I couldn't attend the wedding due to work pressure. Now am ready to go on vacation. Please What are the likely questions I will be asked at point of entry. Thanks

She can well rely on hairdressing job, she should learn and perfect d art of making all kinds of hair do, she doesn't need permit to make hair, she can use word of mouth to advertise, or go to salons that specializes in African braids and cornrows, usually if d salon takes her, they call her when their is a need, and they pay her 60% of whatever is charged , if she's fast enough she can make as many heads as possible, for single braids, they charge between $100 or more, so she gets $60 while d shop takes $40 ,and if she's nice, she can attract her own customers from there for home service and subsequently become self employed, she is not legal and do cannot be employed for most jobs as all jobs require work permit, unless by what they call under the table which is not too available.
Using another person's social security number is highly illegal if caught, but it is possible, nowadays it's always on d news, educating citizens in identity theft and how to catch offenders, she can do nanny or babysitting too if she can be referred by someone, but I must warn u, even a restaurant plate washing job will be given to her without papers..., she can try and go to a nursing school and take a CNA class for a few months, it cost around $1200 ,u can pay by instalments, but still can't work with her certificate without papers
If she wants to do legal bizness she must have her tax � , it is good to have d number but not a replacement for the social security number, although I here in states like Maryland and new York, a few employer might accept it o, but am yet to see any,
So my brother ,hairdressing lo sure ju ,in my opinion and experience in my own state sha


Thanks in anticipation.

It's not automatically that they ask for the amount of you, in my family case, we were not asked to disclose our pta ,pray for favour, you will get it

godsfavoritee:
Hello I need a clarification on this, my self and my wife just got our visa and on the D's 160 form we were suppose to travel next year march but we both decided to go this very December cos one of us might not be free to go next year march hope it won't have any effect? NB its a tourist visa.

tatalotambolo:

You can fill one Week and stay for 5 months, nothing spoil, as long as u exit before d end of six months, and even if u choose to spend ur two years at once, if u don't commit any crime, but stay low key, u still don't av much problem, but d day you chose to come back Naija, still no wahala, only that u will never enter USA again for ur life
As for one way ticket, forget it, you can't buy a one-way ticket, unless you are a US citizen, if any agent promise u a one way ticket, it's fake, and u might likely be sent back from port of entry... So play safe, buy a round trip ticket from an Aiata original agent

seyewest:

Nice airline with nice airplane, the only difference is that you will do your POE interview in Abu Dhabi which means you will be stamped into U.S in abu dhabi and your flight will be treated a domestic flight once you're in U.S so no more interview in U.S.
The POE in Abu Dhabi is okay but a little bit strict than the one in U.S.

BlinkyBling:
Good Day Mr. Seyewest! Nairaland is just so vast. Didn't know there was a thread for POE too! Thank God I came across it, I would have probably been taken unawares...

Please, I have some questions...I got my B1/B2 visa since July and my conference will start November 2nd, 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland.

However, due t agent suggested I take a flight stopping at Washington, Dulles IAD, (think that's the full name) and take a bus or train to baltimore, I think it's about an hour or 2hrs to baltimore.

I have my conference receipts and hotel booking for 3days too in the Double Tree Hotel by Hilton. I also mentioned in my DS form that I will visit the Maryland Science centre which is a sort of tourist attraction in Maryland.

However, in my DS 106 form, I filled that i"ll be staying for 7days but after much consideration i decided i'd like to stay for 8 more days for sight seeing and all, that's making it 15days in all.

my flight details now reads that, i"ll depart Nigeria on the 31st Oct. 2017 and return on the 14th of November 2017

Please i'd like to know if this small adjustment in travel plans will be any cause to worry at the POE? Plus must I buy the bus/train ticket to Baltimore b4 arriving Washington POE?
Plus hope Dulles POE is not harsh o?
Thanks

seyewest:

You're welcome...
The best and convenient Airport to Baltimore is IAD it's basically the same area.
Apart from staying in the hotel for 3 days where will you spend the next 12 days?
Check with the hotel if they have airport shuttle and call them a day before leaving Nigeria just for confirmation.
You can always get a train out of the airport so do research on it.
I see no big deal in changing your stay for a few more days.
Have a safe journey to U.S
Bring plantain chips

BlinkyBling:
lol...Tnx so much! Will actually bring the chips if you"re in Baltimore oo...
I might still decide to stay a bit more in the hotel though I am trying to see if any of my friends or relative know someone I can hang out with there...
None for now though, so the hotel is my best bet with about 1500 dollars cash and some few change in my Dollar master card.

Will still research and see if I can get cheaper hotels/motels...please do you have any ideas Tnx 4 ur tym. Really appreciate!

seyewest:


You can actually spend 3 days at the hotel and get an Airbnb for as low as $40 a night.
