The poster above...

Every mallam to his kettle. If being truthful doesn't work for you no problem.

The actual fact is this is an online public forum, and even though naija get their ways, it is saddening that posts like your is rubbing the mud further in our faces and confirming to anyone out there that Nigerians are deceptive by nature. Which isn't so! You are also encouraging others to cut corners which can land them in deeper trouble and you won't be there to bail them out when the shit hits the fan.

Accepted our ancestors were exported in crates, isn't it odd that till date, we are still exporting ourselves to US...

Have you also wondered why the US allows visitors have their babies (as long as you pay your bills) and I hope you know by giving birth in the US we are mortgaging the future of our children except they renounce their citizenship. I know most of us are aware of the future implication of what we are doing.

I think she is referring to FATCA. Where our US born children must pay tax to the US govt irrespective of where they live and work around the world when they become of age.
My uncle inlaw renounced his US citizenship and took up Australian citizenship when the opportunity presented itself. In his words "US citizenship is too expensive for me".

Collect 1 carton of Orijin! Tell them to bill my hotel room grin

Hopefully our children no go vex for us later in the future when double taxation hits their accounts every month. LASG PAYE, FIRS, lastma, tenement rate, local govt, hackney, peckham, Buckingham grin come and add FACTA to it.

Hello, I don't know if you have completed the process , but if you are in a hurry, then for the Nigerian passport, there is a business centre opposite the embassy. The costs are there.

Yea, thank you very much.

I actually have completed it using the same centre as well

I prefer to mortgage my children's future as a US citizen than to mortgage it as a NIgerian citizen,Lol. Even if its for the freedom of easy travelling to about 160 countries freely,its enough. If my parents mortgaged my future as a US citizen,will i be here on Nairaland discussing birthing in the US? Lol. All in all,our kids will grow up tomorrow to thank & appreciate us for this wonderful sacrifice we made to better their future. Kudos to everyone who has made this sacrifice and the one's that are about to do so notwithstanding the hardship and dollar scarcity we face in this Buhari Era,it really worth it. God Bless u all (Onyenwe anyi gbaa unu ume)!

Every mallam with his kettle. At least people should be aware of the future than to be caught unawares. That's why I mentioned it. It is not a topic for debate

^^^ totally agree it's not a topic for debate.

It's just that a lot of well intending mamas and papas are totally unaware of the FACTA arrangement.

That is where the problem is.

You were not pregnant when you got your visa so I dont think you have any problem, or will have anyproblem. Just take along the proper birthing documents and lots of cash when crossing POE

Thank you nefertitiram.
Please anyone else with a piece(s) of advice for me?
Thanks.

Hello,
The doctor I contacted at McKinney didn't send the breakdown of the services at the hospital like others did. I wanted to confirm if it was same with you. But he said he wants to see my medical records first. So, thank you.

Hello house, seems i have a unique challenge i think. Applied for US passport 27th of Feb and was told to fill in zeros for the SSN. I just received a mail now from the passport office,telling me to send the SSN or sign an attestation to that effect.

Has anyone encountered this? How do I go about it cos my travel date is dangerously here ooo. Thanks for suggestions in advance grin

If u havent received the ssn u can go to Social security administration with ur childs birth certificate and immunization card and they will give u ur child's ssn not the card. Go early cos the crowd is usually much.

I was already in the states when I contacted them..yes he did request for my medical history before accepting to deliver me, it saved a lot of cash for me cos, he accepted some of the results I did in naija.so you can try emailing your test result to him,after going through it, he will definately send you his breakdown services.

I'm taking the car seat and stroller (travel system) with me. I plan to use the stroller for ny toddler during shopping and all. When baby comes, toddler go start to use leg oh grin
Then I'm also buying a front facing car seat for my toddler. For use in Naija

Hi, I'm traveling with my toddler car seat plus a baby car seat/stroller for the LO.
My toddler is 3 so she has a seat on the plane plus a 2 piece luggage allowance on Emirates and I get to carry a stroller/car seat for free.

If you toddler is under 2 years and is being carried on your lap, you may need to adjust your luggage i.e. Fit smaller suitcases into bigger ones to reduce luggage count, consider dropping a suitcase or two in Naija and packing 'Ghana must go' bags ( they are lighter and can carry a great deal) etc.
It depends on the airline but they may make a concession to carry an extra car seat for your baby. Good luck

Hello people...I have a question. During my Dropbox renewal I stated June as my travel date. Depending on when I get the cheapest flight I might have to travel next month or in May. Will this cause any problems for me at POE? Has anyone on here travelled before their specified intended date of travel with no problems?
Note that I put June because the visa I had was going to Expire in May..I didn't want to have an expired visa on my trip even if they stamped me in for 6months.
Thank you!

No problems at all. Plans change. As long as the purpose for which you are traveling remains constant i.e. Holiday, medical, business etc with what you told your VO / filled during your Dropbox application, I believe you should be fine.

Cheers

I think it's the branches you went to that do not have dollars. I don't think it's about the bank. I know someone who got PTA today from sterling bank. I enquired of PTA from GTB here in PH and was told only 2 branches in PH handles it. I think it's wrong for you to be turned back saying no PTA. CBN gave guidelines and that all request be treated within 24hrs. I will advise you check another big branch to tender your request.
