I understand your point, I just can't imagine your own situation being d only child, It's very frustrating . Like u said, I've got no choice than to exhibit a little bit patience. At least I've endured the wait for years but u know that feeling when u are on d verge of a breakthrough and it keeps delaying...It can be very annoying and frustrating.

Yes I know. I feel that way too sometimes. It seems when a person is on the verge of a breakthrough, the frustration sets in. Most times when I feel bad, my mum calms me down. It is well. Just hang in there.

pretty16:


Just hang in there. It will come soon. Am being positive myself. Its not been easy. This is my 2nd petition. I have waited for like 10yrs. My first petition was filed by my stepdad. My mom said she didn't know it will not be approved, cos we waited for 3yrs before they wrote to deny it that he wasn't MY biological dad. She said if she had know she would have filed earlier that I would have left some years back. I just said God's time is the best.. You can imagine being an only child and away from your mum for years. I miss her a lot, but she also feels it more. Sometimes she wishes am around to help her do things especially coming back from work and feeling tired. And she's not getting any younger.

Like u said, It will come when I least expect just like the welcome letter. I'm just more particular about it cos it's d final letter and stage. It's well sha, I will remain hopeful. I pray ur category moves faster in dis coming bulletin...d VB should be out by tomorrow anyway.

Meanwhile for medicals, where do you intend using? I initially planned on using the Children's practice but it seems Q Life clinic is favourable for me. Na 4 we be now wey dey go for medicals. So I need to check the one that is pocket friendly. Before u make a decision on the Hosp to use, call them to make enquiry.

Why do u prefer Q-life to Children practice? Is Q- life cheaper? My parents did theirs at Children practice then.

Visa bulletin is out. F1 still did not move this month. Now am wondering why I opted out of F2B. This is not fair. @ Oladeep, did yours move?

Q Life is cheaper according to my enquiry. I called them Last week to inquire about the medicals.

F2B moved from April 8 to May 15th. F1 stayed put again. That's 2wice in a row. @Oladeep, which means you will be hearing from them early next month. Congrats in advance.

Children's practice said theirs was 100k for adult children 80k. Q life varied with ages. I asked how much is adult of age 33yrs they said N78,125, children ages 6yrs N67625, 2-3yrs N83225, while infants N73,400. So there's a difference. Call them and confirm before making a decision on where to use. Cos the 2 are listed as the hospitals to Use. During my mums time back then I think the hospital was Kamoras

I will be opting for Q-life since they are cheaper cos I wonder why d latter is more expensive.

congrats oladeep

Amen. I so wanted to be there for my folks wedding anniversary next month. And my moms 60th bday in July. At this rate, o don't even know again. She said if we are not around, they are not celebrating. God is in control. At least if I no meet their anniversary, make I for still meet her bday. It would have been an amazing bday gift for her, to have us around.

I just found this page and it has been helpful reading through. Congrats oladeep.
F1 is really frustrating. PD is May, knowing that it is almost current and that it is dragging is really annoying.
pretty16, I have some questions regarding medicals, I thought it is the embassy that would refer us to hospitals they trust or do we just go do it on our own and submit the results the day of the interview. How does it work?

Thanks Bro. Finally...d next bulletin should see u current I guess. The US consulate have their own designated hospitals in which Q-life and Children Practice are part of them. U would be referred to one of their designated hospitals for medicals.

@oladeep Sis not Bro, lol
Okay, would one be referred in the IL or you just automatically go for medicals when PD becomes current or after receiving the IL

Sorry my bad...Thanks Sis...Yeah I think (not sure) they'll make reference to it in d I.L. The I.L will contain all d instructions u need to follow.

Hi Seun9090./once you have received your interview letter, the instructions will be given to you on how to go about your medicals. The hospital to Use are written there. There are 2 hospitals for immigrants residing in Lagos and 1 hospital for Abuja residents. The 2/hospitals for Lagosians are The Children's practice and Q Life Clinic. Immediately you receive your interview letter, you should go for ur medicals, so that your results will be ready before your interview, so as not to cause any form of delay. Hope this helps.

You don't go for medicals when your case becomes current. You go for medicals when you Receive your I.L, because the hospital will require from you, Passport photographs, Your international Passport, Your I.L and your immunization records.

I don't have Immunization records...What will happen?

Oladeep:

Yes that was what I asked my friend. He said he didn't have immunization records as well. He said they didn't ask. Or maybe u would have to pay extra. I don't know cos he said he used The children's practice and he paid 110k. Don't know why he paid that much cos the children's practice told me adult medicals is 100k when I called.. Even me I don't have immunization records. I've misplaced that of my 2boys. Its only their baby brothers own I have now, cos he's a few months Old.
But my friend told me its not a big deal if you don't have immunization records.

Ok...I don't trust those people. They will tell u a cheaper fee on phone just to book them for appointment and when u get there, they'll ask u for what they know u wouldn't have and thereby ask u for an additional fee to get it. They know u can't resist at that point...lol
