Has anyone ever heard of someone being given a visa and then be turned away by cutsoms? I will be travelling with my fiance back to the U.S. so will I be able to go into that room with her while they check her out.

I know that customs people are mean because they are mean to U.S. citizens that are coming back.

Relax. Your making this bigger then it needs to be. They process millions through immigration and 99.99999999% do not experience problems.

Being in the same room depends on the IO. Turning back, sure they do for many different reasons none that I think you will ever be involved with.

Who said that? And where were you when it was said? In what context was it said? That's a very confusing statement.

We are in Orlando! Finally, my last trip to Ethiopia for a very very long time.

Visas stamped before I start ranting :-)

NO it was not uneventful. Two words-- American Airline Sucks; okay so 3 words.

I've flown a lot internationally. Not million mile, but a lot. 6 times to Ethiopia in a year and half. Several times to South America, various African countries, and Asia.

Of all my trips, this ranks as the worse. And American was the provider for a one way leg only; and they messed that up. Horrible everything, I'm embarrassed they have the name American.

I'm on my phone so I'll wait till I'm at my computer to fill in details. Except to say avoid AA at all costs.

Orlando POE was a 4 hour ordeal. 2 customs officers working the visitor line and 1 in the office. There were like 200 in line. Monday morning and 3 people working---for shame Uncle Sam.

Waiting in line was the ordeal. Once we got to the "interview" it was no issue. I did most of the talking; I was in control :-)

Only asked Aisha her mother and father's name. he assumed Niman was my son, the name, and I didn't correct him...I let him talk.

Aisha and Niman crashed tonight at 7pm. it is great to see them here, sleeping......

Yes I am exhausted, and somewhat still annoyed, but seeing them here, sleeping........

Nothing else need be said---
