thank you so much for your help

Debbieeeeeee:
For those trying to get tickets to the USA.

pointednose:
This is a welcome development

Debbieeeeeee:

Very welcome o, United used to do Lagos to houston and they made life easier then, they moved due to dollar Wahala and are back at the peak of dollar wahala pro max , I wonder what’s going on but I’m glad they’re back at least we have options , no more monopoly

babestell:
Their leaving the market helped Delta a lot. their Houston-Lagos route was always booked.

This one they are starting with Dulles sha. Is their market survey telling them more Nigerians travel to the Northwest nowadays. Doesn't make sense to me.

Debbieeeeeee:

That market survey they refused to do before leaving initially , I’m now team Delta o , so we will be considering them again when they’re fully in operation , good thing is they’ll probably begin with an introductory sale price so it’ll attract people

pointednose:
You are very correct.

Please do you know how much it costs for extra luggage with delta airline?

I tried to look at the website, couldn't find any lead.

Debbieeeeeee:

It’s $200 (23kg extra bag) payable in their office in Lagos , I called this morning to find out too so we are in sync

pointednose:
Thanks a lot for this info.

So one can only pay in their office? One cannot pay at the airport? Payable in naira or dollars?

Do they have option for extra kg too?

Please kindly share their number with me or I can come into your mail

Debbieeeeeee:

I tried replying your mail it sent me mail delivery failure I don’t know why that has been going on.
Their number is 01 279 9001, they’re quite responsive, you pay in dollars but converted to Naira , the price should be around 83/84k max when converted.
I’m guessing buying at the airport on that day of the flight “may” spike the price, so I’ll say buy ahead and maybe ask for their account details to pay into.
I didn’t ask for extra kg option because I felt it may be too pricey compared with just buying an extra 23kg bag. Cheers!

Good afternoon! Thank you so much for your advice especially @purpleribbon and @Demmy2021
Been trying to complete everything as my return is next week. I’ve gotten my baby’s passport. Called them and gave them my flight itinerary and booking reference. They gave me an appointment but also told me that they may hasten the process and so that I might get the passport before I go for the appointment and that was how it happened so I had to cancel the appointment as they asked me to.

@Demmy2021, did you eventually pay for the cvs test? Saw on their site that it’s $139 and also did you pay for the NCDC test? And still did you repeat the test when you got back to Nigeria?
If you did, how much did you pay? Been checking their site for the price and saw nothing

@Purpleribbon, I heard there’s a punishment for those who don’t repeat the test 7 days after return. Do you know?

purpleribbon:

Amaka6934:
Good evening, please has anyone applied for a Visa recently for child birth ? How's the mood at the embassy are they issuing visas? Especially for those who have had children there and was rejected due to estimated bill wahala. Thank you

pointednose:
I renewed my visa sometime this year, had my baby four years ago but I didn't try to renew my visa until this year. So I didn't have any rejection prior, and also thr purpose of my visa (this year) was not for the purpose of child birth.

purpleribbon:


I had a high risk pregnancy (tough period) and my relatives needed to escort me to the US. That was enough grounds for them to get emergency dates for their visas. I already had my visa so I didn’t need to apply. I’m not sure if the fibroids alone is enough grounds but I guess it would work for you as well.

Talosub:
@purpleribbon

Thanks for the details. Please how did you get the birth certificate? I am also in Maryland. But I’m a bit confused on how to process the BC.

Thank you.
