I came crying yesterday i couldnt get PTA. i had just 1k with me. I called travel agent to change my flight till Thursday hoping to get PTA. I couldnt risk it at POE. at 6pm, my brother who was expecting called if i had checked in. I said i was sorry i had delayed the flight. He was furious and ask me to leave the house immediately. Flight was 9.30. see race. we drove like Shumacher to the airport. Thank God i was quickly attended to cos of my belle. But my heart was still racing... Just 1k to show at the POE.

I can recall @omodadi telling me i will find favour just like @leakytribe yesterday. Lo and behold, POE went thus:

IO: why are you here
Me: On vacation and have my baby
IO: Just tell me you are here to have your baby. Dont lie. People are sent back because they lie
Me: I got the VISA before i was pregnant for vacation purpose so i waited so i could use it for two things
IO: I insist you are just here to have a baby. whenever we see you women with bumps we know its to birth. Nothing you say matters. we deport the cos they dont wanna tell the truth.
Me: I smiled
IO: so how much do you have
Me: 1k
IO: how do you want to pay.
Me: I have my cards here
IO: what do you do
Me:........
IO: husband coming to join you
Me: He should later
IO: why this houston
Me: cos my brother is here.
stamped for 6 months
no single document was checked. Not even the money bank statement, doctors blabla. No agriculture disturbance blabla. i didnt even spend 30 min at all from the time we arrived and when i was picked.

Congrats petdaughter , God bless your LO.

Awwwww .....pele and it's okay dear. Just take care of you.

Biollar1

Sorry I typed a long message for you and my little one came and closed the tab. I will try again tomorrow, my nighttime morning sickness has started

Ok but she's into her own business. Noting all the points and likely questions too.

Many thanks

Popri:
In addition, my mum was asked how much she earned and what courses she lectured
She was also asked if she had other grand children, as LadyG said, personal questions basically but in all, it was a breezy experience
Your mum will be fine

Ok.

Thanks a lot.

LadyGuinivere:
Biollar the questions aren't here nor there o! Just to establish relationship and verify details.
For egs something like 'this your daughter which number is she?'
I don't think they l ask her anything she won't know. U can make sure she knows ur hospital and accomodation and EDD. Other stuff will be questions personal to her

Thanks a lot.

She's into her own business, will have to prep her well.

Thanks a lot once again.

cindermum:
@ Biollar,

Sequel to LadyG's response, you should also let her know your company name and what you do there just in case she's asked. My colleague's mum also applied and she was asked ;

1) where she works (I'm an educationist in ***sch and I have worked there for 20yrs)
2) where her husband is and the number of kids she has
3) wher all her kids are too.
4) sponsor

She wasn't asked about her financial status as she already told the VO that her daughter was sponsoring.

Gerrrrrarahuiaaaaaaa mehn

Go away jor.

I'm human after all.

omodadi:
I thought u be atawewe, u come dey fear say vo fit cancel visa like this?

Will try and prepare her. Thanks a lot mi rose model

Likely question she myt be asked?

LadyGuinivere:
Biollar nobody de cancel any visa. Them shack cheap shekpe?
Serzly now, all she needs do is answer her questions properly.
Fear now y'hear?

The highlighted gat mi rolling.

Thanks dear, I really appreciate this

modath:
One of my friends (not on NL) just did this without any hitch, she even traveled with her ma.. All the Embassy needs is proof that none of una go become load for dem neck & also return to dey ko pa for naijaland ..

Don't entertain one minute of doubt, press play jor....

Happy Easter in arrears..

For Standard Chartered bank, you have to open.

anonymousmum:
please house quick response required.

For those that bought PTA from Standard Chartered and Fidelity, do you have to have an account with them?

I am ready to start my quarter 2 PTA hustle and I want to be focused, Stanbic is looking saturated...

My people

I want my mum to come along with me to assist with the baby.

She has never travelled before, traveling mid May, we got our visa for vac purpose and used it last year. Already did the notification of intent thing and got the usual response.

Now my question is, if I have to give her my gathered traveling docs so far :visa page and data page...I hope my visa and da of hubby and son won't be cancelled?

Scared to my bones and is it worth it?

What are her chances too?

Due in June by his grace, can she leave Naija early June, can I pick a date in Last week in May for her interview as we are already in by then?

NB: I have also paid the hospital already.

Cc: justwise, ladyguinivere , modath , nerfertitiram, Happytbaby and other experienced mamas and papas

No sales? Where is POE? God that favoured leakytribe will do it for you too dear

bepop:
Help. Missionary journey tonight and m at stanbic ibtc. No pta sales today. What can u do? I have just 1000 dollar at hand. Somebody help!

So sorry for your loss dear, It's going to be double blessings for u dear, pele!!

GucciOluwa:
I just had a Mc. We are so devastated. All our plans, hopes, dreams, everything gone. Our only hope is on God. May God keep you all and your unborn babies safe until the time appointed. Amen

Nothing serious, something like:

Re: XXXX - Medical Reference Letter


Dear Dr. XXXX

I am referring Bleep to you for evaluation and consideration for obstetrical and gynecological services. She is currently XX weeks pregnant and weighsXXXkg. She has been receiving antenatal care from me since when she was XX weeks pregnant.

This is the patient’s first pregnancy/second blah blah and was not conceived via IVF. She has no history of fibroids, ovarian cysts or surgeries.

Her estimated delivery date is Bleep, 2016

I anticipate that this will provide her with significantly improved healthcare. Kindly provide her with all necessary assistance to ensure a safe delivery.


Thank you

Regards.

Has to be on the hospital letter headed paper. That's all.

Excelpdf:
@biollar1 please is there any particular information that is to be contained in the letter from the specialist hospital in Nigeria to be taken to the bank for Form A processing? or what should iask the doctor to write in the letter?

True, my sis gave birth in the US and she's not on Nairaland, never heard of it before sef

I think Omodadi is referring to ghost readers, how do u explain someone pm'ing you for post of about 30pages back, u were about to reply,decided to look up the person's profile....only to discover that he/she registered today itself, started ffg today and asked question of about 30pages back today itself and also directed the question to the appropriate person(s) today gangan.

It can only mean he/she has been gathering info on this thread as a guest without registering.

If people like LadyG, Tvegas, Firsttymum, Nerf, Modath, Happytbaby and co da I can't rem now didn't share, guess others won't be able to learn or can one share or relate with others as a guest? #myopionion#

bbaby84:
I don't know if there's a particular person you're referring to or a personal experience but generalising, you do know a lot of people have been birthing in the US long before this thread was created and some are still birthing with knowing of the existence of this thread. So not everyone who has gone to give birth in in the US came to Nairaland.

LadyGuinivere:
If I have the answer to that, I will. Thanks for the title, I like it.

See analysis ....Mi love for u just dey grow efriday and yes u r so ryt abou the dollar and biollar rhyme

happytbaby:
@ Yomisley,

I think it depends on who you meet (Visa officer). People have gotten it on virgin passports. Travel experience just helps to show capacity, and may also demonstrate that you are likely to come back since you 've been going to other countries(developed) and coming back. It's not a must sha, just show your money, be prepared and pray for Grace.

@ Austine2020,

I think you read the original poster's post with bias, I have read it for the umpteenth time and simply cannot see what you are saying. She was polite. I have seen people condemning this our endeavour on the first few pages of part 1 of this thread (dunno if those posts survived the rapture) and Comfortina does not sound anything like them.

This endeavor is a choice, if someone gets discouraged by those questions then they didn't have something to do before,as my people will say 'won nikan se'.

It is important to be civil to people on this thread regardless of your opinion of their thinking. It's impossible for all of us to think alike else husbands and wives would never quarrel.

Lady G abeg ctrl alt ignore.

@Biollar, this your dollar quest is gangster, see you using torchlight to find money no wonder your moniker rhymes with'dollar'

*waving* errrrm...are u going to be sharing money? and by money I mean dollars .

Lol

I'm a June mama, traveling in May

Moyetty:
Helo June/ July mamas any one travelling in may? Pls reply... Thank you

Hian...na Fyt?

Austine2020:
Its like you have time to waste by answering that kind of nonsense questions. You shouldnt have replied the question,because some people are just enemy of progress who are looking for some people to discourage,if not, how can someone in his or her right senses,after seeing the current situation of things in NIG now, and still asks whats the benefits of birthing in the USA and being an American Shmmm!!

Awwww....this is so sad. May God grant your families fortitude to bear the loss! It is well!!

Petdaughter:
Hi Guys, I got a very sad call this morning. My cousin lost her 3 year old son yesterday. The little boy was playing in their compound with other kids, no-one knew when he left the compound and then stepped on a soak-away slab. The slab was not stable and he fell into the soak-away. Everyone gathered and tried to get him out but unfortunately he had swallowed and inhaled the waste. The poor boy died. I feel so sad and unhappy about this. Pls dear moms, try to be alert towards ur toddlers and kids, one split second can make a world of difference. This is the most heart breaking news I've ever heard Cos I have a 3 year old son myself. May God continue to protect us and our little ones from harm. Amen!

Try Jaiz bank, a friend bought from dem recently

missexiest:
Pls can anyone help with names of banks selling pta here in abuja plssss.Thanks n God bless

I concur!

LadyGuinivere:
@osat I just saw this your post.
I ssay this strongly . Please land in houston. The vo did not say your final destination should be houston but that ifu end up at a different poe u could be turned back.
Please to avoid stories that end in holden cell and sent back

Hi,can I be ur friend? And Yes I'm 'toasting' u

Varvara:
Hi!

1. I flight at 37 weeks. It's better to check pregnancy policy with air company. Anyway, you can ask your doctor to write reference letter with another date. Just 2 weeks ago my friend flight from Malaysia to Chicago on 10th of March and she also had DUE on 10th of March So crazy! She landed, slept one night and next day deliver. I think 2-3 weeks before DUE is fine

2. I would stay for a night, but if you take hotel near by airport to not spend money for taxi

3. I have never stayed in Houston, but I stayed in Extended Stay in Phoenix. It wasn't good. I would advise you to rent that accommodation for 5-7 days and may be try to find out new place. Id you won't have any intention, just stay there longer..

Good luck!

You needed to have seen the look my hubby gave me when VO popped the status question dear

happytbaby:
But why can't these agents be truthful? They always fill rubbish information for people...mstchew

Heheheheheehheehehe my ribs ooooo! chai I don miss ur humor dem o!!!

firsttymum:
This is to announce that I'm receiving payments to help u read through the thread.

So no need to stress yourselves....

I can also help u push out ur baby if it's too stressful for you.

*covers face* I once paid an agent in 2011 and was denied. Tried with hubby,son and myself and we were granted.

Infact ehn, while filling it all in, I started rolling my eyes as per some info the agent filled that I couldn't rem,decided to kuku Ma call him to clarify,he told me he upgraded my status to Married when I wasn't. I was extremely 'overgasted and flabberwhelmed' but I was happy I asked to clarify o cos the VO asked :

Ma'am you were here in 2011, said u were married and your husband was into shipping....

Me: Yes but we are divorced .

If I hadn't asked the agent nko?

I for dey look like Lukman.

LadyGuinivere:
So I discovered this evening that agents are usur format. Saw a correspondence between a mama that's wants to birth in the us and the agent.
Get this. She'll book doctor's appointment, get correspondence and prepare budget sheet for the mama for a small fee of 800 usd or 1,500usd for family application.
Allah! People have money to waste o! I'm just dumb founded at how lazy people can decide to be. I can't imagine dashing somebody nothing less then N160k for can do myself.
