₦airaland Forum

house,

Please I need your input/advice on this issue. I have been in an argument with my host and the friends over Nigerian visa for LO.
They insist LO's does not need it, that with the blue Pali Lo is good to go. That requesting for naija visa is spending money unnecessarily. But I told them is not true and is impossible . But on a 2nd thought I decisied to bring it up here, especially now dollar is not simileing.

Has anyone tried this before?can this be true?

just tried my Gtbank card at Kroger store and did a cash back of $150 and it worked they counted $150 and gave me over the counter....as BA has refused for me to pay for my attached infant ticket in naira via Nigeria....emphasizing that i have to pay it at the airport..(where the dollar to pay..?)well that all i have to be doing till i get about $1000 for my return trip...atleast i avoid bank charges....GTbank still at 269...thot i heard naira just appreciated abit

Please How much were you charged to add an infant ticket?

ifax:
I was able to send moneygram through sterling bank. And i used a friends account through heritage bank. Its far better than the blackmarket price

At what rate please? Trying to arrange funds, to avoid stories that touches the pocket. this January 1st buhaha fit be true.

LOL.... I doubt he's from Anambra O!....check well, some people left South Sudan posing as Nigerians.

Kikikikikiki, laugh won tear my belle

IjayMama:
For my fellow Nigerian's who are travelling soon, I succeeded in sending my first transfer to yankee today via money gram in First Bank. I haven't suffered like this before! As I don't have an account, got someone who does. Each customer is allowed N190k per quarter @ the rate of N199-$1...However, paid N16800 extrs as tranfer fee...comes to about N207k approx...This actually comes to N230-$, not great but better than black market. So I'm currently scouting for more First bank account holders to make more transfers. This is an option to explore.
P. S.
Every branch can only do 1 transfer a day! I booked for my transfer yesterday but it was done today. So don't go to the busy nor highbrow branches...

That's a good deal! Please which branch of first bank?

Thanks Firsttymum, indeed Google is our friend.

@ Firsttymum, what is PKU test? What is the benefit of the test?

Ok, thanks Firsttymum .

@ Nef, Enyinne, shelly23, Firsttymum thanks so much.

@firsttymum, the ringo platform looks amazing indeed, how do i go about it?

Hello beautiful people, am now In LA, I want share my Poe experience. Flew BA from Lagos 3 days(was skeptical at 1st about BA but decided to use them after reading most of the reviews here) good flight experience I must confess, booked wheel chair services and it was really awesome. Though I dint get the service at Lagos.

Got to Lax at 2:30pm, very long que but thank God I was on wheel chair so it dint take up to 2 mins to get to my turn.
I dint spend up to 3 mins at Poe, no secondary inspection, no agriculture inspection, no question on money or payment. It goes like this:

Officer: why are you here?
Me: child birth
Officer: how long will you be here?
Me: end of January
Officer: where will you be staying?
Me: my sister's friend place
Officer: have you been to the US before?
Me: yes, but not this state.
Officer: do you have good stuff with you?
Me: yes
Officer: do u have fresh fruits or vegetables?
Me: no
Officer: place your 4 fingers and face the camera.
You are welcome to the U.S.
Was stamped in till May.

Will advice all new moms to be courageous and answer only the questions asked. Be honest and book wheel chair,it's free and it helps reduce stress.(opportunity to be served by oyibo....lol). Then most importantly pray.

Had all my burden of proof with me but no document was requested. I really thank God for granting me favour and smooth journey.
Though Am not a new mom on US birth waka , I stumbled into this wonderful forum mid this year and I read some poe experience that made me nervous. Nevertheless, I ve learnt quite a lot.

Thanks to everyone who had made meaningful contributions to this forum, God bless you all real good.

Please I need help with phone line, in part 2, I remember ultra or lyca were said to be the most affordable. I went to the store to get any of them but I was told that ultra no more give free 1000 mins to naija is now pay as u go and lycra $29 plan can only call land lines in naija not mobile. Pls advice me, is there any other affordable line I can buy that will enable me call naija or should I take lyca $59 plan with 600 mins per month......

Awwww! congrats Firsttymum, my love to ur LO.

very true

@ firsttymum many thanks.

hello good people,

please help me with the link on how to check for my baby's SSN status or refer me to the page where i can get it.

@Tvegas,Firsttymum, Olokings trust you can help please.

thank you.

hello mums/dads,

i ve been a silent reader of this thread for days now.
i must confess, i have been learning a lot from here.

God bless you all.

i wish i knew about this thread when i had my baby in 2013 in Texas.
though my experience then was not so bad but i didn't really enjoyed my stay.

please, i need information on how to check on my baby's SSN
my host then, who is my uncle opened an account for my baby and then requested for the SSN which i gave him in good faith.

on seeing the dangers behind sharing SSN with some one else, i believe is important to check my baby's status.

please help a sister.

am also a Dec/Jan mum, will be doing my visa renewal through drop box soon, believing God for a successful one.
