Activedreamer: Dont just book an hotel... use your ref number and your surname directly on emirates site and first confirm if you are eligible for free hotel (dubai connect)... check some pages back or my posts, I gave a detailed account... |

Hello all. I didnt post my POE from last year (Houston), so i told my self i must post this year. Just arrived Houston some minutes ago. Here we go. Bought BA ticket LOS-LHR-PA-IAH a few weeks ago. Bought directly from BA as it was cheaper than Wakanow and travelstart. I was a bit 'unhappy'/'worried' cos the LHR-PA-IAH part of the journey was American airlines and i didnt know what to expect. I arrived Philly (POE), at about 5.55pm the airport was practically empty. CBP: what are u here for Me: for a vacation CBP: how long are u staying Me: about 2 week and a few days. Infact i leave on ...... day. CBP scans pasport and stamps it. It was easy. After i collected my bags at Philly and i declared heaven and earth, the other officer just collected my landing card and asked me to go. No checks nothing. Things to note: If you are connecting domestic ( i did Philly to Houston) even if your bags are checked in till final destination, you have to pick them up at your POE and do a drop off again before you board to final destination. I feel Philly is a very easy POE. I remember last year in Houston the CBP officer asked me all sort, i even had to show my return ticket and i went to agriculture for another scan and round of questions. BA flight on BA was not bad, they had new movies but the plane felt a bit tight. Emirates is more spacious. The American airlines....hmmm, it was ok. Food was bleh. The Philly to Houston part of it was delayed so be prepared to arrive in the midnight. Let me go to bed. Im happy to answer any question. 1 Like |

My B1/B2 visa interview is scheduled to hold on the 8th of August, actually am going to visit a brother over there and I will like to know How possible and easy to extend my stay beyond 6 months if am lucky to be given a visa. Secondly, what's the cheapest flight company to book? Regards to everyone. |

babylawyr: Philly Airport is large but not enough passenger to make it a very busy airport. I have this question about domestic connection in U.S (for International Flight) will the domestic flight check the weight of your luggage will you be bill for extra luggage? Hope you enjoy your holiday and you're invited to assist travelers to U.S on this thread. |

Lovadeshy: What you want to do is illegal and what you want to do may affect people with good intention because they maybe denied visa because you abused your visa that is if they issue you one. This thread is not created for looking for ticket. You're on the wrong thread. 2 Likes |

seyewest: Some bit tricky, if you don't have a good grasp of this and you meet an inexperienced person at check-in point, you will just be the loser. One, be abreast with the baggage conditions attached to your ticket/flight. Two, principal to this rule on most tickets is that the allowance granted you on the very first leg of the flight is what is obtainable with the other legs whether local or international. I remember about 4-5 years ago I flew United Airlines (ticket was a multicity booking) out of LOS to IAH, and on my way out I flew same airline from IAH to JFK but not without hassles on my baggage allowance, I had to insist on speaking with a superior and that was granted, in less than 2 minutes of chat and findings, he did apologize on behalf of his junior officer that initially attended to me and sent me on my way at no extra cost because I was qualified for two 23kg/50lbs luggage as a result of what obtained on the first leg of that my ticket from LOS-IAH. JFK to LOS via FRA on Lufthansa (codeshare) was a smooth wrap, had about a kilo above the allowed kgs on all three luggage, I only paid the official I think $200 or so on the extra baggage. |

seyewest: Thanks for your reply sir, And please try to understand my message and the angle am coming from, am not planning or Having an intention to do anything illegal and as a new person intending to travel, am only seeking advice as to the posibility of elongation of my stay if am issued a visa. Secondly, I saw many complaints and replies concerning ticket booking and just trying to know the cheapest one per people's experience. So, to you, if I've done the wrong thing am sorry. |

Hello everyone . My intention to travel to The USA was for my honeymoon but now my husband had to return back to work ☹so he said i should just go do my shopping alone for 10days as an EU spouse traveling alone now will it affect me ? Because I put we were going to be traveling together on my application now I'm going alone will it affect me at POE? Thanks |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by babylawyr(f): 9:32am On Jun 11, 2018 |
seyewest: Hello seyewest, So for domestic connection in US for international flights they will not check weight nor will they bill you extra when you buy your ticket from one airline. In my instance, i bought LOS - IAH from BA, so if they want to collabo with AA its their business, my own is that i am a BA international customer and all the luggage allowance for international travel applies to me till my final destination. There was no stress along the way. Everyone understood the rules. To be honest, i was worried about the domestic leg of the trip, as i know US domestic airlines have very limited baggage allowance. Anyways lets see how the return leg plays out. |

Eweren:Maybe it was overlooked.... The first question is Do you have a U.S Visa? if yes I see no problem with your issue... if you can defend your marriage and probably have a copy of his EU passport if possible. |
