Pls house, Is it possible to bring back a baby to Nigeria and then do d baby's US passport in Nigeria. (A woman did this abt 8yrs ago wen custom stamped just one month stay for her.) Dunno if it's still possible now.
In my case I was stamped in for 3months. So I have jst 3/4weeks to process baby's papers. It takes abt 3wks to get BC alone in Virginia nt to talk of passport

Won't it come out if you keep calling them everyday?

I would like to share please

I would like to share.

you actually don't need the SSN for the passport. you only need the BC. you did be given a form to sign staying that you've not been given the SSN.

I think the SSN is now compulsory for processing the US passport. I was shown a copy of the new directive to the Post Office. BTW, SSN do not take that long ( 2 to 3 weeks for Houston Texas).

If you can get the Nigerian Passport , it is enough for the LO. However, you will still need the BC for the Nigerian passport but this will save you from VISA to Naija. You will also need the BC for the US passport in future.

You can try studio 6 or intown suites. Studio 6 is $296 thereabout per week

Hi I’m a newbie in the house, I’m also looking to get accommodation in Houston for early next year. Also haven’t had much luck with Airbnb and google searches turned quite expensive. Please I’m interested if you find any info that might help or if you be willing to share an apartment.

Well, my very recent experience in Melbourne Fl...no agency will do the passport processing without the SSN. I had to go to the main passport office in Miami...to even qualify for expedited in Miami you must meet certain criteria:
1. You are travelling within 2 weeks
2. You require a visa to travel within 4 weeks
3. You MUST present proof of travel for infant
I was travelling in 3 weeks but then needed a visa...went to Miami and got it same day after a few hours of wait. Had my baby Oct 17 and i still havent gotten his SSN.

Sorry, just seeing this. My hospital is in Melbourne Fl and not Orlando...though their prices are pretty much same. So far Hospital alone for CS is 7011USD. Doctors fee is 2005USD. Paeditrician...1st visit is 80usd, subsequent follow up is 40usd (if the baby is aick then its 60usd). Hearing test was 326usd, i asked if theres a discount and paid 244usd...
From what i have observed so far Melbourne and certain places in Florida are not used to birth tourism so you may not get an organised birth package like hospitals in Houston...am still observing tho.

Reine22:


Hello, please you haven't responded to my earlier request on the hospital you used and the cost breakdown for Orlando. Thanks

I dont know if this is still relevant but i didnt submit my fit to fly at their office. I had it with me at the airport and was asked for it at check in. The air hostesses also asked to see it when i boarded the aircraft.
Sorry but i just saw your message hence the late reply

Lanifat84:
Hello @bootyliciousHon
Please when you travelled at 34 weeks with emirate , did you submit the fit to fly at their office days before or while you were checking in ?
Thanks
Because I called the customer care line and was told they are only bothered with fit to fly if you are traveling at 36 weeks and above . Just wanted to be sure o before they give me another story while checking in

Yes she had her own seat as she was 3+ years. Emirates gives lots of toys but she only used the coloured pencils and activity book outsidr the plane. Lol! She was very cooperative though and slept most of the flight. When she wasnt sleeping she was either watching boss baby on Emirates ICE or interrogating the man on the seat next to hers . In all she was pretty occupied all thru the flight

goobyparks:


Thank God for journey mercies.

Pls how did u manage with your toddler in the plane. He had his own seat I guess?

I used Holmes Regional Medical Centre, Melbourne Fl.
For their charges...its in my last 3 posts i think. I must say its pricey compared to other popular states here. Waiting to get all my bills before posting a summary to aid others who plan to use Melbourne in future.

Please how do I reach you.

It is possible but if you put effort in you can get the passport in 3 weeks. Once the BC is in, drive to the passport office in Washington, get there early and do express. Explain your circumstances to the officer and your passport should be ready in 2 days. That's what we did although we had booked for our appointment before the BC came out but found out we could have walked in if we'd been there very early

This recent denial in dropbox renewal is not funny anymore, we need to sit up and do things the right way. I can still remember my experience during my first Visa application. The agent my hubby was using insisted I should conceal my pregnancy, if not we'll be denied cos our passports were all Virgins. But Based on what I've been reading/hearing on nairaland, I insisted I MUST say the truth, despite the fact that our DS 160 had already been filled for bussiness/tourism purpose. The agent got angry and said we shouldn't blame her if our visas were not granted, infact she practically ''hands off"(cos according to her, my 'i too know' was becoming unbearable, besides she had collected her full agency fee). I continued from where she stopped, and noted all the mistakes she made on our forms. On the day of interview, the moment the VO asked our purpose of travelling, I reported mysef sharperly that we're all going for my birthing/vacation n the VO was SURPRISED cos she never knew I was pregnant. Our visas were granted without drilling of any kind( infact I still believe/know we got it cos of my honesty)

Fast forward to 2nd week of September this year, we did our dropbox renewal, four of us again (myself, hubby, my bro in law of 19 yrs n our 3yr old son) and we were all given without being called for interview of any sort cos I applied for B2 this time.( I filled all the forms myself and also scheduled the appointment without paying any shishi to any agent)

The summary of this my long talk is the need to say the truth at all times. Even if you get denied, there's this joy/satisfaction u feel within you that at least you did your best, you'll be proud n bold to reapply again without fear. Infact i personally would prefer to fill B2 for business/tourism so that it'll be noted in their system that i may still use the visa for medical purpose if the need arises in the future. (Of course i'll explain myself during the interview). The idea of applying twice within 2yrs just to declare another intention that wasn't formerly stated, hmmmm; I can't deal.

I know someone will learn one or two things from this. My 2cents though, #okbye

just have your doc correspondence, write to embassy to get the generic reply and have enough funds to show proof that you can foot d bills and believe in God for d rest.

I believe the best route is to reschedule for another appointment and come clean. The generic reply seems to be worthless now and I won't advise your wife to put through all the stress of traveling and getting there only to be turned back. There's a likely hood she might get through without this but I'm all for coming clean and taking your chances here rather than getting embarrassed in another man's land. My two cents though
