This is to inform everyone intending to buy PTA/BTA from GTBank that the service has been temporarily suspended.

[size=15pt]Can someone please tell me the functions of these permanent secretaries?[/size]

I need advice please for my future visa interview. When I went for my Visa interview i stated that I was going to MIHS hospital in Arizona but I came to Maryland instead. Before I had my baby, my husband wanted to join me to witness my baby's delivery so we applied for the interview and told the truth that I'm in Maryland. He was rejected based on 2 reasons.
1. I changed my location
2. I didn't give him a copy of my visa page and entry page

He went again in July fully prepared and was rejected again. Now I am scared that I may be rejected if I want to reapply and he might get rejected as well. Please I need advice on this our issue so we can be prepared when the time comes.

Simple Change Of Intention e-mail to the embassy would have sorted this out then......... I rily don't know abt now

Good News For GTBank Account Holders Seeking PTA....

A Friend Of Mine In The Bank Told Me That The Bank Now Sells PTA....

back2dmatter:
Arrived Houston Airport (IAH) yesterday with $4000, Proof Of Burden Plus God's Favour.

...... Smooth POE experience.

I think what's most important first is to make up your mind that you'll make your intentions known (tell the truth) at the POE and then pray and trust God completely for favour...

I got my visa after I became pregnant (although the intention was just to go for vacation first and come back or even try to conceal the pregnancy at POE). But after I went thru dis thread and got all d stories and advice of the importance of being truthful, I started getting evry oda thing necessary for the trip. I read the part 2 of d thread like twice (I think) and then the first part (2014 side and some part of 2013) and then read some peoples's profiles, did a lot of search on this thread...

(while we were landing, I remembered how dis thread had nicknamed IAH d almighty houston, I just prayed and declared - Zech
4 vs 7 (who art thou o mountain ('almighty houston' before zerubabel (I being zerubabel)... God pass u... and then I smiled


So to the main story (POE), I joined d visitors queue (and mehn it was a lonnnng queue)...

I had prayed for God's favour all thru d journey, singing praises, declaring God's word and skabashing....

While on the queue, I was sha singing praises and also skabashing, (I took BA by d way). I saw some blacks (m sure nigerians). Wen d queue got closer to the front and den we were being directed to oda queues, I tried not to stay on any queue with blacks on it ( )

The first immigration officer (im not sure I spent up to 5 mins wit him - glory to God). I think d questns went like this:

Where are u coming from?
What are u here for?
I'm here on holiday and to have my baby
How much cash do u ave?
Where do u work?
What do u do?
Have u contacted any dr?

(I think he went thru my embassy interview profile and wat I filled on my form)....

(He dint ask to see any docs at all)

And then he stamped me in and that was it..
(There was no date limit just B2)

In my mind I was like is that it... (I was so grateful for God's favour)

I went on to the baggage claim (onto another long queue thru anoda security point onto the exit)

D queue was so long and then I got 2 d front of d queue (a black cbp officer)

Asked wat was the purpose of my trip - gave her d same respnse I gave d first guy (holiday and to ave my baby)
Asked how much cash - 4k dolls
Asked how much d dr was charging him - 5k plus

(and den she made a sarcastic comment like I dunno wat's wrong wit all these doctors charging all dese bla bla bla)

Then she asked me to go secondary inspection (I dint ave anything to declare - I dint fill anything on my form and I dint come wit any food items) - she was just being mean not knowing dat God pass am

At d second inspection pt, twas a white guy. He was taking his time to ask me questns (thankfully I wasn't tired, I was calm and I was just skabashin...)

He was luking thru my profile on his system and den he asked me d ffg questions.

Asked me what wat I was there for?
Where I was coming from?
How much I had? (told him I had 4k and d rest on my cards - he asked to see my cards and d cash - he dint count it tho)

If it was first time in the US (yes it was)
Asked where I worked?
If my hubby wud be coming?
If I had a doctor? Asked to see d correspondence.

(I think he was being a psychologist trying to see how my responses all matched and all... while I remained calm all thru (and skabashin...))

And den after he was done and he asked me to go.

In all, I spent like 20-30 mins with him...

I give all the glory to God for granting me favour at the POE. So importantly, say the truth and ask God for favour....

Arrived Houston Airport (IAH) yesterday with $4000, Proof Of Burden Plus God's Favour.

coefoe:
Hello fam. Pls help me o. I need PTA urgently. Who knows of any bank that's selling at the moment? Went to diamond today and was disappointed if i had known i would have bought since last week. Am travelling on friday and i don't have any dollar on me. Black market is not an option right now

Why are you lamenting over $4000 PTA... If you are in Lagos and have account with Fidelity Bank, you can visit their Adeyemo Alakija or Kofo Abayomi branch (Location is VI).

Alternatively, you can try another Diamond bank branch on the Island.

Where in Florida are you going? I'm in Orlando

Dear Mamas in the house.........

Please i need your assistance as I will be traveling to Florida soon with my 2 year old toddler (very active).

One of my friends suggested that I buy a baby stroller and more toys to kept him calm and busy during the long queue waiting period at the POE.

Please, what kind of stroller is accepted by United Airline or any other Airlines as hand luggage?

For Lagos residents only........

Exchange Rate for Dollar ( Black Market) now hit N250/$1..............

United Airlines is cool too.

Pls mamas who have travelled at 35weeks which airline did you use. This Qatar airways has messed up things for me...after they rescheduled my flight twice it seems I might not travel with them.
Biko its urgent, I need to Travel this week.
Plssss

Its a lie... I had a chat with their rep online and she stated that PTA is given to new customers.

Maybe you should try those branches on the Island (Adeola Odeku or Adeyemo Alakija)

I got baby's birthcert 48hours after birth I called the county went there and got it for 23dols each. The SSN card came in the mail in less than 2weeks. I booked an appointment at the dallas passport office went there waited and got the passport same day. They accepted the consent letter I notorised before I traveled
For the Nigerian passport I was trying to do it myself but when I realized I was running out of time I contacted one of the agents mentioned here. By God's grace I was able to get all the documents and left exactly 3weeks after birth.
My hosts were even surprised at how I knew what to do at different points in time they don't know I used the nairaland/tvegas magic, lol
Thanks y'all. I am addicted to the thread so I dey ground
