Hello everyone and kudos to those that have kept this thread alive from the very beginning.

Actually I am already in the US awaiting the arrival of my precious God's gift any time soon.Had to go through Newyork to Houston cos of POE palava in Houston.I really congratulate those that scaled through the Houston POE. Truth be told I learnt they are kinda thorough there so I and DH heeded an experienced friend's advice who found it very hectic but was all the same lucky and had her baby last year.

My question here is this:my host has suggested that I apply for WIC program.Please is it advisable I apply?

I sincerely and urgently need an answer.Experts in the house please help.

No ma'am. WIC is for low income, US resident, taxpayers. Which means it's not for you. Taking WIC is a no no

The person I asked in FBN said that CBN just sold dollars and they missed it. That they will take part in the next one and will sell PTA in select branches.

It's funny that all these banks say they are not selling PTA but they show PTA sales in their published FX utilization schedule. Begs the question who are they selling PTA to.

Herrik066,
You're right.
WIC is Women Infants and Children program for free food and healthcare for residents only.

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a federal assistance program of the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for healthcare and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and infants and children under 5 years.
And there are requirements for joining WIC. For any of us to join, we will need to tell some lies, like family income, residency status, etc.
Some registration centers are lax in registering members and may not ask for much documentation. BUT the warning given to our brothers and sisters at their visa interviews recently should guide us... We may be "pressured" into accepting state funded assistance (of any kind). LET'S JUST SAY NO.

Dear Earlybird81, Pls run in the opposite direction, and explain why to your host.
The Best Thing is to hurry up with your journey and return home, in case the pressure of more mouths to feed is bearing down on host and they are unable to tell you explicitly.
God's blessings on you!

herrik066:
Hello Earlybird81, WIC program is a federal assistance program funded by tax payers. Besides, do you intend to stay more than 8-10 weeks?

In my opinion, enrolling in that program constitutes a benefit from tax payers fund o. I stand to be corrected.

Access bank is the only one that comes to mind right now. Standard Chartered as well but you have to have a good relationship with their treasury team. Try Lekki phase 1 branch.

Because it is more like a gamble...You dont want to be stranded carrying all that naira and someone telling you it is not available. Remember it is borderline, you would have collected your boarding pass and ready to depart. VERY RISKY for those that do not have dollars at all.
