Hubby: At the time we didn't know we were pregnant as i was still breastfeeding my son..so we just wanted to go for holiday. When we found out I fell ill and couldn't travel so we all decided to travel in November and I sent a change of Intent to notify the ambassy

VO: Please when next











Was ur interview @ Abuja or Lagos please?

shrekandfiona:

fill the 600k as your monthly income then you can explain to the VO during your interview that a yearly upfront is always paid. As long as the sum is reflected in your bank statement, it's no issue

Thanks a lot.

Sorry but I thought when you given the white paper it means your visa is granted.

Well, no amount of money is too much for good health if one can afford it and moreso we would also be giving that child the dual citizenship opportunity.
Vo continues to type, i had to say that I am also going again for childbirth thinking that she was granting me visa. She said she knows, we would discuss that. After few seconds, then she looked up and said you arnt eligible this time and gave me the white paper.

I am sorry you went through that. My advice is you apply again

So grateful to GOD for HIS faithfulness.

Flew Emirates from Lagos to Dubai to Houston at 35 weeks plus. Gave them Fit to Fly from Dr. Didnt go to Port Health and I wasn't asked for Port Health Report. Requested for wheel chair from Lagos (Had been stressed over the past four days before my flight, needed to slow down) and it was the smartest move ever...no stress at all all through to Houston.

Flight crew experience: Emirates crew Dubai to Houston were nicer than Lagos to Dubai. But the Lagos to Dubai guys weren't so bad sha...

Food: Food was fair... I'm not much of a continental eater so I was just eating bread, croissant and water. The jollof rice from Lagos to Dubai: it is well, hunger did not allow us have choice � The Dubai to Houston lunch was not for me. I just thank GOD for bread and butter ��

Entertainment: Mixed feelings on this... expected to see recent movies from what I had been hearing, but was able to watch some.

First General CBP: Where are you going to?
Me: Sugarland
CBP: Why?
Me: To have my baby
CBP to Wheel Chair Man: She has to go inside.
CBP calls for colleague to take us to the Secondary Inspection Office.

Spent one hour waiting for my turn. There were other people in the room before me.

CBP: You are here to have your baby?
Me: Yes
CBP: Staying in a hotel, with family or friends?
Me: Hotel
CBP: (Types on keyboard) Ensure to have all your receipts when next you are coming. Stamps me for six months.
Me: Okay, Thanks


Baggage Claim Officer (BCO) That's what I chose to call him: Any food?
Me: Yes, Chinchin, peanut burger nuts like this (had half a pack in my hand that I had been eating in the CBP's office), Crayfish (BCO then interrupts)
BCO: Any meat and vegetables?
Me: No
BCO: Okay.

Was wheeled to the exit and then I took a taxi to my hotel. Thankful my Indomie made it through cus that's what saved the day for dinner. My hotel has no restaurant.

Dear Mommas, please use the wheel chair and wear compression socks too for the flight, drink lots of water, pee as often as required and walk the plane aisles at least once every three hours. Movement was so easy with the wheel chair, I almost felt sinful!

By the way, I eventually got through to Hope Women's Clinic, was told that the phone lines were down for a few days and that's why it kept going to voice mail.

All I can say is THANK YOU LORD. It's been HIM all through.

Good morning all mamas and papas ,

I want to thank God for his blessings on me.
Had my visa application renewed successful without an interview.

Wish you all same and a splendid Christmas celebration.

We tap from this grace and annointing

Omodadi2:


I have all these budget thing o, i know how difficult it is to travel and all, so i am dt person who goes out of her way to dot her Ts. Out of all u stated, only sendibg of letter direcry to the embassey is what i didnt do.
You see she didnt ask me how much i spent, she only asked of my receipts whc i handed over all to her nd she didnt even open them at all

Female VO tinz...just my thoughts. Pls avoid them when possible.

Which location

olufunbi:
looking to share too for Dec to Feb.

elfmann:

But the husband has a running visa.

Yes, which will expire around my EDD and he will need to travel too during that period

Hence my question. Does he get a renewal first via drop box before I apply? or we apply together


Thank you

dere5:


She says his visa will expire on the month of her delivery and you can even apply for renewal 2/3 months before expiration, they will just cancel the old one before they issuing the new one.

so we apply together on the same form?


Thank you

Heart05:
