OmoBendel24:
But this to the best of my knowledge happens only if your direct Dropbox application has been refused na. Such invariably means you have been denied technically on 221(g) grounds (put on ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING) and you will either be asked to schedule an appointment or to send in whatever they want through DHL. You will see this in your dashboard and a letter will come back with your passport too. Dig?
Okay.

@the bolded; how please? Are you talking of Dropbox direct or a 221(g) Dropbox refusal?
Dropbox direct. When they schedule you for appointment. You don’t have option to choose date as you like. The numbers of date is listed and is not more than 5 or 6 so you have to strictly choose between the options provided

I have a contrary opinion, except the process has now changed.

Last September 2018, within 24 hours my status changed to administrative processing, i checked https://cgifederal.secure.force.com i got a notification to schedule a 221g(this is was clearly written) and i was giving an option for different dates and time slots which i chose the closest and most convenient.

believe me, my passport was not sent till after a week i scheduled the 221g interview.
In my case, it is not even written if its 221g. They just wrote "Schedule an appointment" all within 12hrs after status changed from application received to administrative processing. Was thinking they would write 221g interview schedule

The 221g letter will come when your passport is ready for pick up. Wait a while. They will send you another message that your passport is ready for pick up. You can however go ahead and schedule the appointment. Don't get your hopes up, it's not a mistake. That is usually the thread. The ceac website will continue to say administrative processing until you've attended the interview and a final decision has been made
Hmmm!!! Thanks
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Akorkor(f):
Hello house, please I need clarification ohhh.

My Visa status was updated yesterday to Administrative processing and same yesterday the cgifederal changed to "Schedule an appointment".

No email received, no 221g letter, no passport returned and the check visa status is still showing Administrative processing. For Passport tracking: Shows no status update.

Please, I am thinking I should wait 2 days to see if its mistake before I go ahead and schedule the appointment.

Guru in the house, help @justwise, sorry for disturbing again and every other gurus in the house

My fil asked me a question that I didn't have answer to. Pls i need the house to enlighten me on it. With the American passport one can travel to alot of countries without visa. How come these our babies that are American citizens require Nigerian visa, Nigerian passport or voa to enter Nigeria
pls gurus in the house pls explain.
Hahahahaha!!! Chanbaby. Because US citizen needs Visa to enter Nigeria and most African countries. That’s why. US passport does not have access to every country. In fact, Japan has the highest accessibility to countries

Hello people, I have a question below this summary.

I gave birth last year with a B1/B2 visa, and my visa expired recently.
Now I am about renewing to attend a training session in the US. But I also intend to use the visa for birthing again in the event that I get pregnant within the next two years.

is there anywhere I can specify that it is for both training/vacation and to give birth in the future, in the event that it recommends dropbox for the renewal?
If you actually declare your intention during your first visa issued, no need to bother about specifying your intention again. Just put b1/B2. But if you did not, that’s where the problem lies. I don’t know what you can do in that scenario
TravelRe: Is Ghana As A Country Good For A Nigeria To Hustle by Akorkor(f): 4:28pm On Jan 29, 2019
ifyalways:
Thank you o. Na so Dem go mislead people

To rent shop in Ghana be ready to pay atleast 4 years rent upfront, no less.

Permit and co never dey.

@OP, unless you have huge money to invest (which I doubt u have else you would stay put in Naija or consider Europe/us etc), don't go waste your small change in "hustling" or selling Food in Ghana. If you are lucky to get a paid employment from Naija before leaving then go. But to go there with less than 500K with the hopes of hustling, don't waste your money
You have said it all madam ifyalways. Some of us should learn to hustle in our country. If its huzzling you want to do and not any government paying job,Ghana is not the place for you, especially with 500k. How much is that in cedis like GHC5600.

If you check out Ghana web online platform you would see the hatred they have for Nigerians just because we don't do some things legit. Like the kidnapping case in Takoradi now, how on earth can you come to someone else land and perform such shameful act.

my daughter of 3month has dis skin rash I don't tink its even rash self, her skin is very scaly lyk frog and dry sometimes peel, dis tin jst refused to go, av used every every prescribed to me yet d tin refused to go at one tym it looked lyk it has gone nw back again pls help me as am nt happy with her skin texture and appearance her face has heat rash which has dried nw but d look is nt gud.
note: I use organic black soap for her and coconut oil as cream
For a child with dry skin, use oilatum. This is what some pediatrician/ dermatologist would prescribe for you. Oilatum baby soap and cream is Uk product. I started using it for my daughter from 9 month after using plenty cream and I am still on it now that she’s a toddler.

Also, you can visit pediatrician for their opinion

I have ordered from Amazon much time while in US and Nigeria. For Nigeria I used mallforafrica and I am going to try Quickteller platform soon. The prices are not bad if what you are ordering is plenty as par delivery package. If you order straight from Amazon without any of these platforms, the delivery price na die unless you want to use post office which some of my colleagues have made use before.

My own rant o..

This one I and dh don't have mothers now..afraid is catching me how I will cope. I'm scared aswear. Even this phase has just been God o. Cos I'm still vomiting every single morning before going to work. It leaves me so exhausted. No one to pamper me sef except dh. But you know those kind of pampering mother's give? I miss it loads...plus my elder ones are not close by at all. Seriously I try not to be depressed but it's not easy. Just me and my God o. Now I just wonder how I will cope when baby comes.

@cappo sunbestie and my dear teamies how I go do na? Any suggestions on how to fight this depression? Afraid is catching me. Jesus dey with me sha.
You will surely cope my dear. I have a mother but no MIL. My mom didn't come to see me until like 2 month after birth. I did everything myself and when she even came sef, she didnt do much. Your inner strength would surprise you. If I can do it, I believe you can to.

I'm doing fine by God's grace. No skin pain at all just a little poking by baby here and there sometimes. It doesn't feel like am pregnant self save for the bump that is becoming noticeable by day.

I'm yet to shop oo even a pin. But I will start next month.

On transit going back to my work station. Thought of how to be fetching water from tank and climbing the staircase isn't appealing at all. Been moody about it since yesterday. cry .
@ Bolded, why cant you pay someone to do this fetching and climbing for you. Doing all this vigorous work is not good during pregnancy except you are the strong type that your body is used to those type of works before pregnancy.

I think is always better to be patient and follow due diligence as a citizen which I feel that a lot of Nigerians don't do. We always like to cut corners and want things done faster. If you want VOA, why can't we start the process on time instead of giving bribe and encouraging corruption as always. To end corruption start with all of us. '' A word is enough for the wise''

Good evening mamas and happy new year to you all...please help a sister��
My DD resumes crèche tomorrow after the holidays. I need to know what to pack for her. She’s 6 months+ now. Before now it was just breast milk we take to crèche as she was EBF. She also just started taking AS. Do I also need to express breast milk for her to take alonghuh Thank you mamas as I’ll be waiting for your responses.
Yes, express breast milk for her. Give the amount that she can take till you check on her. Make sure you instruct the nursery to put in the fridge for her and when it’s about time to feed , it should be warm inside hot water.
Also, you can make fruit purée like apple, banana, mango, avocado for her to take. She’s six month so her stomach won’t take much.

If she has started eating other food you can also make Pap or if it’s cereal you use for her like frisogold rice or wheat cereal or anyone you desire to use for her. If you are given her other milk , you measure it scoop by scoop into a small cover bowl so that the staff won’t waste it then make sure you label all your child things.

If you have any question, you can search this tgread. I have posted twice or thrice about time table for baby meal or if I see the link I may post it for reference purpose

Shalom

Hmmm!!! So with the way these VO are denying visa up and down, which one do you advise someone to choose when renewing visa now.

I chose B1/B2 before of which I declare intention during interview then and I was granted , will you advise to choose B2 only for childbirth now ?
Please I need answer and I am sure this would help a lot of people on this thread too

Some of the doctors we have around shouldn't be there at all. That was how one told me after scan at 20wk that my baby is head down , low lying placenta, threatened abortion just because I complained of lower abdominal pain and hardness around navel.

I left after the prescription with too much fear because the only explainantion he gave was that my baby want to come out. And he have to admit me. I refused to be admitted I couldn't find relief from seeing the Dr only fear.

Came here and was encouraged and told what to do. Google and saw that it's common for some baby to be head down from 18 wks and are likely to turn over and over. The placenta still be time to balance well and all.

Some when you ask questions plenty they will feel that you are too inquisitive.
It is well my sister, May the lord protect and keep us away from google doctors

Mama thanks o. He didn't say anything o just that it's high finish.
Sometimes I always feel like dishing out slap to some of our doctors in this country. Why would he say is high and keep quiet. I guess he has not treated a pregnant woman before.

Please when they do like they don’t have idea about what they are talking about , kindly ask further question.

To all mama, please always ask question like what is the next step, is this drug okay for pregnant woman, and also always complain about what is really going on in your body.

We shall all carry to term in Jesus name and we will not lose our life in this journey in Jesus name.

Please refer back to your doctor ASAP or get another experienced doctor

Hello, good day mothers.
Am team August, was planning to announce my bfp this month when i woke up and went to pee, i wiped and saw tiny clots of blood, have gone to do scan and was told they can see the sac but no foetus, i dont av any cramps n the clots is very tiny. Am really worried and sad, pls has any1 experienced it? The Dr asked me to wait till next week for it to flush out himself? Am soo scared.
Nothing will happen to your baby. Sometimes it’s too early to see the foetus. Have faith in God. I have experienced this before and at the end of the day I carried to term. Is the blood red? And how plenty is it?
