So he no fit chose better destination like Canada? Brazil bawo?

Its actually a beautiful place, good culture, better weather and more accommodating if you are visiting as a tourist.

Just that they speak Portuguese and too many transgenders.

Nice choice

Hey Guys!! Abeg make una try to say nicer things about our Naija Police because there's power in words. What u say about them has a way of coming bck to u.

I really enjoyed all those jokes, bt in d realities of our living, som of our Police men are really trying, especially in the face of their Corrupt leaders who embezzle the Funds meant for their working Paraphernalia : lack of good Police Cars, No fund for fueling, no good uniform, and very poor other working conditions.

Underfunded?

Is this enough reason for them to pack themselves up in yellow buses without uniforms, pulling over in front of every bank on the watch out for the next innocent prey?

All men dream: but not equally.

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible!

I don't know if anyone is aware of this. . . . .

Nigeria passport booklet is scarce in Atlanta now, so they claim- you need to provide your travel itinerary to get on top of the waiting list.

Disturbing

Misplace priorities.

This is getting more annoying by the day.

mamacajah:
Hello, I don't know if you have completed the process , but if you are in a hurry, then for the Nigerian passport, there is a business centre opposite the embassy. The costs are there.

Yea, thank you very much.

I actually have completed it using the same centre as well

Who find it cumbersome to think or reason. God help Nigeria

Apostle says the lady runs an African store, is a stripper, and leads the life of a commercial sex worker.

The lady claims she is none of the three, all she does is to entertain musically and directed us to her YouTube page.

Now the dude you quoted decides to stick to Apostle's side of this story for whatever reason.

Please what is logical about that reasoning?

An album of just eleven songs.... Na mixtape jor

Relax for the guy nah! - 11 tracks with 4 bonuses.

Nas had 10 on illmatic(classic album), Kanye had 10 on Yeezus, Rozay 11 on Teflon don

These were not mixtapes!

jesufifunmi:
Hi. Please what documents were required for the processing of you minor's passport and how much were you billed?

Took these pictures today, it might help.

First: Nigerian, second: American

temmyo:
Was given a form to fill, submitted it with my I.D and payment in cash. Got the BC. This was in Dallas

Ooh okay!

Down here, that form is always attached to the confirmation letter.

anonymousmum:
...only in some specific hospitals...

Ohh well. . . . . . this is based on my experience.

Gwinnett Medical centre in 2015 and Eastside Medical Centre 2017

Out of curiosity, what proofs do you take along with you to claim BC"s at a Vital office?

dovelike:
Where did you land? What airport?

ATL via Lufthansa

dovelike:
Thanks for the reply. Because I emailed the US border patrol a few weeks ago and they said that there is nothing stopping me from entering the US except a criminal record which, if severe only, they might need to take action. I live in the US but I want to go to London for vacation this summer and I have a green card. Just reading all these news and they are quite scary .

I am not understanding all these stories.

I don't have a green card. All I have is a visa. I didn't even spend up to 5 minutes with the V.O. Plus the Hartsfield–Jackson airport looked so calm to me and this was just about 10 days ago.

Am I missing something.

temmyo:
Please what is a confirmation of birth and what is it used for?

Issued at the hospital after the birth of the child.

Document used to claim the child's BC from the Vital office

Posh404:
Glory to God!!!! My cute son arrived today at eastside medical center Atlanta .....

Congratulations. God bless the little one!!!

Funny enough, I just left their women centre about an hour ago.

Came to pick up my confirmation of birth. Be on the look out- yours too might take forever

Shawbabe:
2 weeks ke? Confirmation of birth na just typed paper na....why are they making it look like say na BC?
Got mine that night sef. April 2015

I am not understanding ooo.

Gwinnett didn't put me through this back then too.

I will give them till Wednesday.

Shawbabe:
Yea.

Baslone, mine was BOA card oh. Should have clarified that. Don't know if Nigerian bank card will go with this new spendig limit placed on it.

Yea,I have a BOA card.

The one that is confusing me now is this one the hospital is telling me I have to wait for a week for Hospital Confirmation of Birth.

Ko le werk mehn!

Shawbabe:
Ehen Baslone, this is how to go about it. Use this one coz I got it all jumbled up. My apologies. Pregnancy brain

nefertitiram:
1. 1st copy is about $20 or $23, extra copy is about $5,
2. You can fill the form online at travel.state.gov save as PDF n print. Expedited US passport is $165. If father is not around he should print out and fill a ds5053 and get it notarized and Dhl to her. She will add it to her supporting documents.

Nigerian passport is where money order is concerned.

I gotcha!

Like I said, I think it happened at the American passport. This is what I saw on the website.

Applying at a Passport Acceptance Facility
Application Fee and any Additional Services Fees:

Checks (personal, certified, cashier's, traveler's) and money orders [/b]payable to "U.S. Department of State"
Credit and debit cards CANNOT be accepted

$25 Execution Fee Paid Separately:

[b]Money orders at all locations, payable as instructed by the facility
Personal checks and cash (exact change only) at some locations
Credit cards at U.S. postal facilities and some other locations
*Please verify acceptable payment methods with the acceptance facility ahead of time.

Anyway, that's the least of the problem will solve that when I get to the bridge

Shawbabe:
You pay cash or card. You and money order sef lol. American passport is $165. I think it's extra for expedited. For Nigerian passport, I can't remember the process. It's been 2 years. Check my posts from 2015.

Dont mind me

Actually, I had an experience sometime in 2015 as well- Can't remember which exactly but I think it was the American Passport- I was turned back to go get a money order.

Shawbabe:
Meanwhile why use Dr Soyoola? All these over priced naija Drs....tufia. lol

We had a nice experience with him the last time and nothing has changed really.

I Actually went for his Full package- he provides accommodation by the side, peeps in to check on you medically from time to time while his wife has a standby car to take you to wherever you want to go whenever you want to.

PS: Thanks for the info! Appreciate

debby516:
Bro/sis, pls share ur visa/poe transcript, ur bils etc, dats ow dis thread grows.

The funny thing is I have gone through the process before, too bad I am quite forgetful on details hence my question.

That said. . . .

Same doctor Dr Emmanuel Soyoola- bill now $3,150(Labs, Ultrasound, Prenatal office visits, Vaginal delivery)

Made payment of $3,600 to Eastside Medical Center(waiting for final bill-possibly by tomorrow),

Epidural $950(Totalis $1,950 but discounted if prepaid),

Pediatrician $600 for 2 days hospital stay.

For Visa transcript, See below the post I shared Jan 10th 2015 on the locked thread!

My interview was quite brief and interesting. Wifey and I went to the consulate dressed simple in shirts and sneakers. Tension was quite high.

The lady V.O was just dashing almost everybody while the man was refusing everyone before us but one. He didnt even put up a smile. In my heart I was praying to avoid him and i guessed every other person was. The only person he issued a visa was a young girl and she spent almost 20 minutes with him.

Unfortunately, my prayer wasnt answered- we were summoned to his stand. My heart was beating, my throat was dry because of the crazy harmattan.

We: Good afternoon

VO: Good afternoon, so what do you want to go and do in the U.S

Wifey: To have our baby

VO: where?

Wifey: Atlanta

VO: how long do you intend to stay?

Wifey: 10 weeks

VO: You look quite young, you guys married?

ME: yes (flashed him my diamond studded ring. Last time i wore a wedding ring was over a year)

VO: interesting, so how long have you been married?

Wifey: two and half years.

VO: any letter from the doctor?

Me: yes sure (passed him letters from Dr Soyoola and receipt of payments to doctor and hospital)

Me: i have email correspondence from Gwinnett Medicals here too if you insist.

VO: no thats fine, can i see your statement of account.
(I had a huge bulk that couldnt pass under his demarcation so i divided it into half and as i was passing it over to him)

VO: and what do you do for a living?

Me: I am a. . . .

VO: wooow! (Smiles for the first time), you mean you . . . (Starts talking about my business)., You guys make a lotta money.( scans through the statement)

Me: (smiling now too) yes we do and i own the company.

VO: that's great. That means you must be very rich.
(VO, wifey and myself burst into laughter)

Me: Yes I am ( still laughing)

VO: i tell you what, you can pick up your visas on Monday.
(Turned to my wife, passing her 2 typed sheets)

VO: i want you to study this and make sure you follow the instructions accordingly when you traveling.

Me: (talking to wifey) shey u can hear oo

VO: naah! You have to listen too. You impregnated her so you have to lead her all the way.
(VO, wifey and myself burst into laughter again as we turned to leave)

Wifey: did you say Monday? (Every other person that were granted visas were told Tuesday, so she had to re-confirm)

VO: yes Monday

We: alright thanks (smiling)

And that was it.

Shawbabe:
You are not a visa officer.

You don't have any business going to the embassy with your mum. Except she needs an interpreter and they'll provide one.
Let her fill her form and reason should be to look after you and her grandchild. Give her your receipts in case they ask. Your data page, visa copy and your previous child's data page.
You don't have to go with hr to hold her hand. She'll be fine.

Hello Shawbabe, I know I can get most of this information on the thread but I am already suffering from information overload. Can you run me through the following.

1. Had my baby on Wednesday, Eastside Medical Atlanta- Filled the BC form on thursday. Thinking of approaching the Vital office office tomorrow Monday to pick it up.- Do I have to do a money order for this or I can pay right there and then? Any form of documentation I need to go along with?

2. Passports- Do I need to make any form of online applications before I approach their offices? If yes- can you help with the links? I would love to do money orders before I approach these offices as well- do you know the exact cost to expedite both the Nigerian and American passports?

Thanks

wurabecca:
OP, to be real...you must be mad for making the above guys feel dejected! .

Lemmie break it down.....

The Mercedes is for Kesh, I mean the small one not the G-wagon.

The G-wagon is for Olamide, and perhaps that's Olamide's crib.

To the above guys, God can still and will bless you, Op is a mis-leader.

Peace out!

Op is a clown.

Thats actually Olamide's G500

Lil Kesh has only 1 car!!

tolaxin:
She should hire a sales boy/girl to help her manage her business and go ahead and take the job. If a relative is living close to her shop, she can ask them to help her monitor the sales boy/girl activities from time to time.

It's more productive when you put all your eggs in one basket and watch over it. Your business basically turns to make or break for you.

Ain't nothing like a "side business" if you are looking to breakout from what you do. It's either you are here or there! You can't seat on the fence and expect to break even.

It might take plenty mo years but I feel like Nigeria is on the right path to salvation!

oluseyiforjesus:
Made in China, I'm not suprise majority of Chinco are idol worshippers. Meanwhile Only the Blood of Jesus can wash away sin anything else na scam

That it was made in china does not mean the Chinese own it.

Due to the cheap labor and cost of production in China, all you need do is Pay up, Give them a sample and description of what you want, they will produce it in bulk, load it in containers and ship to your location.

After that, you are on your own.

HellRaiXer:
Stop arguing with emotion. Mercedes has been producing cars for decades before BMW ever made its first car. So what the poster said has nothing to do with your X6 or what.

Who is getting emotional right here?

Well, according to wikipedia Mercedes Benz was founded in June 1926 (90 years ago) and the BMW was founded March 1916 (100 yrs ago)

By the way all I was citing an example of where BMW made a car way before Mercedes made a prototype of same car so the issue of BMW copying Benz is completely off it.

teebaxy:
Mercedes-Benz any day any time, I remember one 0f 9nice songs.... Photo copy ko easy, BMW can never be like Mercedes Benz

Rather it's the other way round, the GLE coupe is a new introduction to Mercedes copying the X4 and the X6. BMW has always produced the X6 like forever!
