My E-fam its nice be here again. you guys have gone very far. God bless you foe the support provided.

i went for my first missionary trip in 2014 and to the glory of God and the help of your guys it went very well.my story is posted in 1.

please i need some help oh. i am preparing to go for part 2 and my question is this. i renewed my visa via dropbox in July 2016 and stated reason as vacation in dec 2016. i just found out i am pregnant and will not be due until Aug 2017. so i am thinking if i should write letter of change of intent. i feel like i should not have a problem because (1) when i went for my first missionary trip i declared it was for child birth and they gave me the visa. (2) when i did dropbox renewal in july i was not pregnant they can do their calculations and see that i was truly not pregnant then as 12 months will have passed as i plan to travel July 2017.

So my country people what do you guys think?
do i have a good case with change of intent letter?

You are over thinking this matter jor. In my opinion o, nothing do you.

Chanbaby,

Biko don't need this stress. Use style to go and visit your SIL and pack your things oh small small. Is there an intown suite, extended stay america, motel 6, studio 8 or cross land studio near the Hosp?

If its not too expensive you can carry your kaya and kak there.

Also don't take everything your host is doing to heart. Some single older women are grouchy esp if they are not getting their engines greased. If shr had one sugar boy servicing her well, her attitude will be better. Lets donate Justwise grin

Or she may be menopausal.

Any which way, look for somewhere where you can have peace. Pele my dear

I stayed in southwest and I was going to Richmond for my appointments. And eventually gave birth in Oakbend. Appointment was early and and I always got there on time.

See this journey en one cannot be sleeping on the floor.
When You are not suffering...
That's why I always say we should always hold extra cash incase nonsense like this happen.

You have options mothers are here screaming for a flatmate I think u shld consider it. Or move to ur sil place and endure d journey.

When d baby comes will u b sleeping on the floor....

In the spirit of giving back,
Flew Turkish airline to New York and American airline from New York to Houston with my 2years old son.
At JFK the cbp asked why I came,told him Childbirth and vacation,
He asked how long I intend to stay,told him 8weeks. And he took my finger prints and stamped us in.no other question was asked,no document was requested for.
No secondary inspection and at the agric section plea was directed to the exit door.my bag wasn't checked so all my foodstuff scaled throu
gh.the Poe was a breeze to the Glory of God.

Currently in Houston,will be using HNWMC and Doctor Xydas.
More testimonies coming soon
please dear I need to enquire from you.. am using the same Dr and Hospital but arriving last week of January am in need of affordable accomodation nearby and am also coming with my 2yrs old daughter please guide me accordingly...

biko ooooo, pls you don't need all this stress abeg..pls pack your things and run to your SIL place..I remb when I was making arrangement for my wife's travel..i was telling a family friend that stayed in my place for almost three weeks when he came to Nigeria about our plans for my wife to give birth in America, he never encouraged me.he was saying all manners of things to discourage me.thinking that I will ask him to give my DW accommodation or support me.the way he was sounding, he is a nurse but when I asked him about hospital and the fees..if he will give me answers to that question, its probably tomorrow cos he never called me again since then.thank God that I discovered this E-family.
You need to have a steady mind.people with different characters.don't pay attention to her attitude.just pack your things and run more then U.bolt...back to premier league game!!!!

Hello everyone. Applied for B2 visa...noticed the agent didn't input my level of education details. He only stated my current status (pg student).
Also, 3 accompanying persons were filled on my form, hubby, FIL and MIL. Father-in-law is sponsoring the trip...
Please, hope these do not pose any threat at the interview? Thanks.


It is your responsibility to scan your application before submission. And to answer your question, there can be a threat to your application. Just be prepared to defend what is already submitted

@chanbaby, please you need to move out of that place. If she's giving you attitude now when you are still preggy what will she give you when you born. And for distance, you just need to plan well. I don't know if you are a FTM but my doctor told me labor is not immediate for most FTM so it will take time to get to your hospital. I stayed like 40 minutes away from my hospital and my friend has been really trying for me. I pray God will direct you.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Beem4cupid: 5:21pm On Dec 17, 2016
So sorry about what you are going through. You really don't need that stress right now. But my opinion is that if you could afford to go all the way to the States, then I think you should get an accommodation close to the hospital if your SIL house is far. How are you sure you won't ho through same at your SIL house. Just think things through. Remember you need that healthy state of mind.

Is like the girl is not aware that Nigeria is in recession abi? OK for milk, try isomil. The container is red and white .it's very good for sensitive babies. I always have issues with Nigerian pampers with all my kids. But the Nigerian pampers in white pack is good and gorich pampers is equally nice. Just buy Destin cream for the rashes

After you have ur birth certificate (I did 2)
For the American passport I downloaded the form and filled them don't sign you take it to a notary public at DHL office or I think regular post office with all required documents and a notary public officer will be there and you and hubby (I Donno d process if hubby is absent) sign in his presence and he attaches his signature with ur passports photocopies and pix then you head to Howard county library and pay for expedited had my baby's pix taken there too.
For the Nigerian one you go to the website note how much and what name to address the postal/money order to,there is a place to write ur baby's name then we sent it expedited.they sent us a mail when they received it but for my friend they delayed so she headed to the consulate with the photocopy and all documents speak Yoruba well and pay for expedited you wud get it same day or next,if ur impatient u can get a visa ,the American passport took the longest

I don't know if this is still relevant but it might help someone else.. the American passport has an easier option.. All I did was call passport services and provide my travel date ( must not be more than 2 weeks ). I booked an appointment at the regional passport agency (washington because I stayed at maryland) . I went to the passport agency with DH and LO on said date and got the passport same day. All you need is proof of travel ( your ticket). Usually they would say come back next day or two but we appealed to the guy who attended to us that we needed to get a visa to travel.( we had the naija passport already oh,that was just to fast track things). I filled the form online ,saved and printed and took it with me to the passport office.
Hope this helps someone!

As enfamil has entered 16k, NAN lactogen is similar to enfamil in taste and composition and it is 1670. Oh boy! Na to swerve!

How about the red Huggies, the SA one?

I used Lactogen for my first son more than 5 years ago. Then it was 800 a tin when buying the carton. Can't believe that it's now almost 2k.

This missionary journey has really been an eye opener.

But Peak 123 is just too sweet. It makes adult food feel tasteless. Adult milk like normal Peak and Nido work well from 1yr, my opinion.

Here it is... But I see its only available in size 3,4,5.

When the babies are younger, I think they react more to these gangster sturves but when dey have mashure a bit, like from 9 months, they will beginning to adjust a bit to all these cheap chea tinz. *in falz the band guy's voice*

I haven't tried it. Someone frightened me but since I'm in an experimenting season, I just might try it out too.

Lactogen is almost 2k ooo! Imagine, and that 800 would av been luxury price that year. If you are still single, diapers and formula price will assist you in making a decision

Izzit d nido I saw for 28k for d big pangolo? DAT dey wrote 1yr+. No o, I no buy.

the way peak 123 is doing, na to port to adult peak like u said.
If u check the package of peak 123, you will see "glucose syrup" as one of its ingridents. Theres no questioning why its so sweet anyhow.
