I don’t think it’s possible to open an account without being present since you’re non-resident in the US. If you were a US citizen or a green card holder, some banks allow you to open account online. But I don’t think that will apply to you. Best best is to hold on to the check until you have time to come to the US, open an account and deposit it in there.

Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.

Same thing happened to me in 2017. about 8 months after i returned from the US.

Really?...Pls how did you handle it?
i'm trying to retrieve the money cos I need to use it in Naija and i'm not yet ready to travel ( as per work)

MamaOO:

What was the reason given to you as per why the account was shut down? Generally, a bank won’t allow you to reopen an account with them if you had an account that was shut down previously depending on what the reason was. Sometimes for as long as 7 years.

You can try opening another account with Wells Fargo, they’re more lenient with the docs needed to open an account especially for non resident aliens.

they closed it because the account was dormant and they sent KYC forms to the US addy and got no reply
i'm in naija now. will it be possible to open an account in wells fargo, without being there in person

Please Mamas please I need some advice.
the account i opened in BOA when i gave birth in 2016 was shut down this year(2019) and all the money(cheque) sent in a mail. I also used the account in 2017 when i had my 2nd LO.
i have tried to reopen the account but BOA has refused.
how do I get my money back?

NB: Nigerian banks dont allow deposit of foreign cheque

Which Airline did you use?

Evang1:
Morning Good People. Quick one.

I want to get a visa for my babies(twins) cos the Nigerian consulate in New york has problems/delays in issuing naij passports .

When i called the airline to get one way tickets, i was told my babies might be denied entry in lagos cos they are US citizens who ideally they should get return tickets since they are to a foriegn country.

My question is has anyone recently travelled with their newborns to naija with one way tickets and nigerian visas. If yes, what was your experience like with immigration officials.

Thanks

@MrsSugar

Please share info on your posh accomodation , I'm interested. Can I pm you?

MrsSugar:
Hello all
Thanks once again for this great forum,I honestly don't know how the testimony I had last month would have been possible. Shared my stories already

Got in to Houston yesterday and want to share my Poe story,another victory testimony.

Flew KLM to Houston at 36weeks.Pls this is not for the faint hearted and won't advice anyone to try this,fly earlier if you can.I wasn't asked for fit to fly though I had one from my doctor.

Got to Houston safely,food on plane was DELICIOUS!IT JUST KEPT COMING LOL!

Got to the CBP.Very handsome and young hispanic guy
Our flight was the only one at the time so no crowd.Apparently he was gisting with another cute officer so they were both in good moods
CBP1:hello passport please(smiling)
Me:hello(hands over passport)
Cbp1:*looking at passport* you sure this is you ma'am (both CBP 1 n 2 chuckling)
Cbp2 :it would be a problem if it weren't her

Me:I was tired but had to laugh."Yes that's me" (pregnancy altered my looks a bit)

Cbp1:so you want to give birth in US why?
Me:my hubby and I want the best for our baby,its our first child and we scared of high mortality rate back home cos of past complications plus America ranks no 1 in obstetrics care
CBP:OK....but you'd have to follow my colleague to the other room for secondary inspection
Me:with a smile says okay

Then comes the almighty famous secondary inspection lol.

After 10minutes waiting with other people Cbp calls for me and I followed him to a room and sat.Just me and him

CBP:*typing and then pauses* oh I see you're here for child birth and you informed the embassy already
Me:yes
CBP:how long you here for?
Me:3 months
CBP:oh I see....to give you time to recover right?
Me:though I put in 8 weeks in my application, explained I was told the doc would have to certify me and my baby fit to fly before I can leave so had to extend my stay to 3months

CBP: okay
CBP:you have some papers to show me?

Me:handing all my docs

Cbp:pls keep all your receipts when next you come into the US so you won't have issues okay?

Me:"nods* okay I will
At this point I knew it was a done deal!

Cbp: okay this checks out.You already made some deposits too i see.how much on you?

Me:Bleep dollars

Cbp:oh sh*t!!!!!I just typed and hit delete mistakingly. Sorry ma'am will have to do your paper work again

MesadI just dey look the guy )
He typed and gave me my papers after stamping me till October( 6 months).He didn't even notice my passport would expire September.
All took like 5min

Carried my luggage to agric.The guy says "oh from Nigeria hope you don't have Garri,yam or chicken products like knorr chicken lol".They know us well!
I said no just the regular knorr cubes he laughed and said "oh you been here before?" I said no but I'm aware of the rules,he says to his colleague "this one knows the rules even on her first trip". They both laugh.
He asks someone to help me with my bags without searching and I was free to go.


Houston Poe will be a breeze if your burden of proof is in order with your medical visa,no need to fear.It's when the story is otherwise then you may have a terrible experience.

Thanks to all Nairalanders!May God crown all the sacrifices and efforts we are making for our children with blessings.

Hi Nwanyiomaaa

Pls let's keep in touch. I'm Houston bound
Expecting LO abt that same time too.



Nwayiomaaa:
Please i applied for B1/B2 Visa, i was asked if i intended going for a medical trip which i said nO. I was only about 4 weeks pregnant den and travelled 2months later for my intended vacation.
Now i wish to have my baby in USA; do i need to send a letter of intent to the embassy even though i have used my visa once for vacation as declared?

Also i need to inquire if anyone has used Dr E (Oakbend hospital). I intend using her based on recommendation of a friend but i need guidelines on the hospital as i hear sometimes the fee charged when u get there is different from the quote given for hospital fees. Any recent beneficiary of the hospital please help me with details and breakdown guidelines if possible.

Thirdly, i intend landing in Newyork and then booked a local flight to texas for two days later. Do you think i will have issues on why i dnt have a straight flight booked to Texas considering i declared having no relative in USA upon visa interview?

Lastly, any early July expectant mother planning for houston? Pls holla as i am searching for travel partner if possible.

Congratulations on Y''ll POE testimonies, May God perfect the rest.. Amen.

I want to ask why people always write XXXX $$ or BLEEP $$ when giving back on * HOME MUCH YOU HAVE ON YOU * IMO that's miss information because that isn't going to help other people trying to figure out how much is enough for them to take along on their trip.

This is not a dig on anyone, just saying.


Hi dear, if u would like to know how much u need mayb u could send one of them a pm. No one is compelled to disclose info they don't want to disclose.

Una no go hear. Quit going to agents like wakanow to buy your tickets. YOU CAN CONTACT THE AIRLINE DIRECTLY. It is at least 10K cheaper.
These agents put their own fees in top the ticket then give you hassle when you try to change dates or amend your reservation. I don't understand how an intelligent person that can use phone and internet will be going totravel agent to book ticket?? Anyway una get money to be dashing them

I thot the prices are usually higher on their company website than the agents website

Good morning Amazing people,
I'm an avid reader but silent reader. grin
I've learnt a lot from the members on this forum and I must say - what a treasure trove of information.
That said, I'm an early June mom bound for Houston in mid April with my LO and will stay with family.

If any mum will be in Richmond about the same time, I'd love to meet and keep boredom at bay.

Secondly, has anyone ( pregnant non US citizen) ever travelled with their LO (US citizen) but was denied at POE?
Cheers

Hi MsDenise, i'm houston bound and a late june mum. We could get in touch
