Hi All,

Is there a separate group of agents who only help to procure ETC from the US Embassy? cos I have contacted the two popular agents and they both say they don't offer that service. I know Nefertitiram highlighted the steps recently.

If anyone knows an agent who can help with the ETC thing, kindly share her/his contact.

Thanks

Hello moms. Howdy? Please I am in a dilemma. I want to get an electric breast pump, I had Philips avent in mind but I cant afford it at this time. I have seen evenflo and lasinoh and its something I can afford but I'm afraid. I don't want to buy and regret. Please if you've used an electric breast pump that is below 20k and is good, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I use Lasinoh manual breast pump and it's good.

HELLO JUSTWISE
my name is naomi,thanks for all the questions u have responded to based on PBS TIER 4 VISA
Please i would like your advice on my situation.i have an offer at university of bedsfordshire united kingdom and my latest course start date is november 24th 2015.i have my fees but the challenge is the maintenance .my husband and 10 months old baby will be going along with me as dependants .now concerning the maintenance timing is an issue but my agent said if i can get the money into my mother's account and my husband gets his into his dad's account ,we wouldnt need to wait up to 28 days to apply.please how true is his claim.i need your response urgently.thanks

That's not true! The money must be in the account (whether urs or parents') for 28days. But u can print immediately if the money in the account covers the maintenance fee n the account balance never dropped lesser than the required amount in the last 28 days.

FTC! First time ever!

Disgusting!!

Good afternoon All,

Please I need advice on how to go about this.

A new tenant (close family friend) moved into my mums house mid this year and the rent was paid into my account. There was no tenancy agreement between us. The house is still in my mums name (Im her only child, havent done much about changing her name to mine on her properties)

How can I explain this in my statement of account.

I have a fairly good job.. earn a little over 300k monthly and that also reflects in my statement and can I use her house documents in my application (she didnt leave a will)

please advice

U can add her Death Certificate and explain she didn't leave a will

Of course, there are always exceptions to every rule. I've heard of some cases where the VO (US) expressly told them it was against the rule to grant visas to corp members for non emergencies (vacation et al) except with the approval of the NYSC DG. This was long ago though. Looks like the rule may have become lax.

HELLO EVERYBODY STIL IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE VISA, PLEASE CAN A CORPER APPLY FOR THIS VISA BECAUSE I HEARD CORPERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRAVEL DNT KNOW IF I SHUD DECLARE THAT AM A CORPER AND GO WITH MY DOCUMENTS TO PROVE IT DURING MY INTERVIEW OR I SHOULD JUST BE MUTE ABOUT IT WHEN ASKED WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. MY HUBBY IS SPONSORING THE TRIP. THANK YOU

That's so true. Being a corperr isn't a tie to Nig. The VOs are aware of that law that a person that's serving isn't permitted to leave the country on any ground safe for emergencies. But then, that's where favour comes to play!

Hello everyone, pls there's this pimple like spot on my baby's hand. What can I use for her. Thanks

That's called Alefo in Yoruba language. People say it's mostly fat babies or babies that have tendencies to be fat that often have it(Old wives' tale). My baby had it and when I took him to the hospital(during resident Doc's strike) ,the matron that attended to me said it's nothing and asked me to apply a topical cream (Clotriderm)that I was given on his hands and if it doesn't get better in 2 days I should bring him back to the hospital. It cleared up within 2 days. He had it again like a month later on his palm and at the back of his hands too and I still applied the cream and it cleared up.

anupopo:
Hello. pls regarding your notary, did u use a scanned copy during the application or was it the original copy? thanks

Original copy

Nita2013:
U can start with 60ml and study how she takes it and as time goes by, u can increase d quantity . Also u can sterilise her feeders regularly.

For me, I used his sterilizin unit only twice tru out my son used bottles. But I made sure I washed his feeding bottles myself and refrigerate afterwards.

Pls,is that another way of sterilising?

dtush:

Congratulations! Was it Vaughn Regional Medical Centre?

Thanks sir! That 5yr visa fee high jare,thats why she is applying for 2 yrs. I don't think it matters though. Do you?

Hello Justwise,newcomer here,pls help me out. Pls, my mum and my sis who is over 20yrs and a masters student will be applying for UK visas. My mum is a frequent flyer to UK n her 5yr visa just expired so she's renewing while my sis has never had a UK visa even though she was refused few yrs ago. They would be using my mum's statement of account and also an invitation letter that has both dre names.

1.Is it possible they put their application together like a family application? Bear in mind that my mum ll be applying for 2 yrs and my sister 6months. Can they just print out a copy of the statement?

2.My mum is a business woman and she got all her previous visas together with my dad who is now late(died early this year). My dad(he was a biz man too)used to serve as the sponsor for them both then and they use his property docs as supporting docs. Hope she can still use the docs for her n my sister's application now?
3. My bro in the UK would be having a surgery and the hospital has given him an invitation letter for my mum n sis. He therefore transferred funds into my mum's account to show he will be responsible for dre travelling expenses. My sis will also print her personal account to show her monthly allowances. Do u think we are on track as regards this application?
Please help out. God bless you

Pls what subjects are in Loyola? Do u know Wre English language is in Ib?

sayoberry:
Rep ke? I did not speak to any rep o. I called the number tVegas posted. The number is even on the internet, its an automated response. After you follow the instructions it give you the next available date.. And when u accept it, it gives you an appointment number. I travel april6. Its 4 weeks that I was told not 14 days. Chect tvegas post for the number

If you are travelling by April6,I ll advise you to use an agent to process the visa cos it can take long if u process it urself. But if you have a credit/Debit card that bears the same surname with the applicant's name, it's faster cos the Nig embassy won't accept otherwise on dre payment page and that ll leave you with an option of buying a money order n then mailing it to them. Then, u wait for them to receive the posted money order n then confirm to you they ve received it before you can now print out the receipts and mail them with other application docs. Make sure u pay for expedited service or they ll just leave ur application untreated for long.

Hello my people so if i put to bed and i return i will have to renew my visa in order for me to visit again secondly what if i leave my first child who is an infant behind with my husband to have my second child in the US how do i get a visa for my first child when we want to travel for hoildays will he also go for an interview or drop box anybody with answer please

Hello,you only ve to renew ur visa if it has expired,if it's still valid at the time u want to use it again after giving birth,u do not need to renew.Secondly,ur child does not qualify for Dropbox so u ve to choose an interview date for him and you or ur husband would be to go with him.
