OluGlo: Although this is the wrong thread to share this problem but from my own opinion I don't think this will affect your chances at all due to the facts that he's an adult and I'm hoping you don't bear the same surname and lastly he was issued the visa based on his ties alone. 1 Like |

seyewest: So sorry to have posted on the wrong thread. Like I mentioned, this is my first posting. We bear the same surname and we applied together as one family. He just turned 18 in January this year. |

OluGlo: When it comes to the US, you never can tell what can affect you but I doubt it will affect you Canadian EE application especially if he's not part of it. Stay positive and I hope all works in your favour. |

Hello Aus, I want to ask a question, I know of a person that enter but was not giving 6month stamps, they just stamp their passport for entry alone. What do u guys think? thanks |

Good day house Pls I will to know how to go about this return ticket thing. If you intend staying back for like 3-5months, is it advisable to buy a return ticket for that long considering the fact that you applied for a visa with the intention of attending a conference for just 2 weeks. Wont it be an issue at Poe because I can see here most plan to to stay for just few weeks. |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by ayenikunle: 6:12am On Aug 02, 2018 |
kaampe1: Do you have a good reason for staying up to 3 months? That should be your 1st worry at the POE... Yes, a return ticket is required for that B1 visa |
Re: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by seyewest(m): 11:05am On Aug 02, 2018 |
kaampe1: With the way things are at the moment... do you want to risk it and remember this may affect your dropbox renewal... This is my opinion. |

kaampe1: Why are you staying back for 3-5 months? |

Hi Guys, This is me just sharing my POE story, its been a while we had any. I shared my Visa story in the USA Visa visit thread a while back. i was supposed to go on vacation in May but work took me to another country so, i had to push it till the end of July. I bought a return ticket through Etihad in May. After i bought the ticket, i was sorta regretting buying it because of the long transit time that came with that particular ticket and all the gist about the US preclearance at Abu Dhabi but in hindsight, it was one of the best decisions i'd made actually. I left Lagos to Abu Dhabi, flight was about 7 hrs plus, landed around 8pm their time and i checked into my hotel (i got a UAE transit Visa before leaving Nigeria so i was able to enter AbuDhabi proper, i stayed at the Premier inn. After a quick breakfast and check out the next morning, i was on my way to terminal 3, gate 61. It was a long walk but good exercise i guess. After all the security checks ( almost at 3 different places), i joined the queue for the US preclearance. I had a Nigeria man right in front of me. When it was my turn i stepped forward to an African American lady who was smiling with the previous guy she had just interviewed and my conversation with the CBP Officer went like this: CBP: Good morning lav Me: Good morning CBP: Passport please Me: (Hands over passport and boarding pass) CBP: What is your purpose of travelling to the US? Me: Its my annual Vacation,so holidays CBP: How long will you be staying in the United States Me: 24 days CBP: And you have a return ticket Me: Yes. CBP: Whats the address you ll be staying at? Me: (Told her) CBP: And you l be staying with a friend? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Me: Just a friend. A male friend CBP: From Nigeria Me: Yes from Nigeria CBP:Okay, Are you married? Me: No CBP: Tell me what do you do? Me: I work as a Corporate Strategy Analyst at XXXXXX Bank in Nigeria CBP: Any foodstuffs? Me: Just dry food, Melon, Chili, Crayfish CBP: (she repeats them after me), Okay. (Stamps Passport- 6 months). Alright See ya. Me: Thanks, Bye. I walked through and that was that, the boarding gate didnt open on time so we had to stay outside standing for a while before they let us in. Boarded in good time and after a grueling 12 hours plus. We landed at a domestic wing of JFK (Terminal 4) No queues, no nothing. Just picked up my bags and waited for my friend. Things arent as bad as people have been portraying them to be, at least i didnt see them drive anyone back. As always just be truthful and move on. Currently in NJ and loving it. 1st time here, definitely would be back. XOXO 8 Likes 1 Share |
