Thanks so much @nef and @ adiahbasi. Pls will I av to add the baby's ticket before applying for the ETC and pls how long does it take before I get it? Thanks

nefertitiram:
Have you paid for the passport?
Do you have a passport agency downtown where you are? Thats the only place you can get the passport same day.
If there is not passport agency where you are, you can use an agent. Google for an agent where you are.

Good morning all.
I collected my child's birth certificate on monday and requested for his passport same day(expedited) was charged $200 plus. The lady said the shortest possible time I can get it is 2-4 weeks while I am due to come back to naija second week of march. My friend here said that what they will say that the passport will get here before then. Please for those that have expidited their LO's pp, did u get it before two weeks even when they told you the same thing I was told?

Secondly , I am thinking I shld do ETC, I think I might not av enough tym to process visa if the passport comes considering my travel date. One of the requirement is to send my travel plan. Pls would I av added the baby's ticket before sending it or before I add it, and pls how long does the process take. Pls help with Di's and any oda info that might help. Thank you

Hello i am new in this forum. Im planning to have baby in US my question is if it is too risky if I travel 35+ weeks pregnant, any experience?? Thank you

I will advice you to go earlier if u can. Wiffy travelled at abt 35+, before we could get fit to fly self for airport, na wahala as they were not willing to(the pregnancy was big) even at her POE, they said she shldnt av travel that late.
But if u av to, I think Delta and united will take 36 weeks

I bless d lord for the arrival of my little prince today. Mother and child are doing fine. Father and big sister are doing great also. Lol.

Please house, kindly advice on how to go about baby's documentation : step by step. I just told them I will like then to fast track the birth certificate. Pls whats the next tin After the Bc and how do we go abt this.

Good day all.

Wiffy will be travelling dis month. Pls I will like make an equity abt baby's travelling document so as to be prepared and also to make a decision on time as regards it. Apart from the blue kpali the baby will get. One needs a Nigerian pp or visa or ETC to bring the child back home. For Nigeria pp, I guess I understand and think thats the best if one can get it. I read abt pple getting Nigeria visa to bring the baby home, does that mean one must take the baby back to US before the end of 6moneths or is the 6 months maximum stay rule not application to Americans in Nigeria. Thinking can one just do the ETC and come get Nigerian passport at home?

Na wa o. FirstBank has stopped sending money abroad through Western Union.

Hi VO, Please I will like u to help with this questions.A lady wants to apply for a USA visa for holiday with her son. She is gainfully employed with a manthly salary of 400k plus. The main issue here is that all her documents: statement of acct,I d card, passport ,etc are in her maiden name while the son's name is in his father's names. Pls , will this affect the application?She has the boy's birth certificate stating her as the mother(with maiden name) and the boys fathers name as the father. She didn't have a marriage certificate bcus they didnt do a "proper wedding/marriage". What are her chance and also what other document will she b needing from the child's father?

thank you

LadyGuinivere:
No it won't. She just has to fill in her married name in the column for any other names answered and go along with marriage cert et al

Thanks LadyGunivere, She doesn't av a marriage certificate, she is still single,only had the child with d man, in fact that's why she still has all her documents in her maiden name. Please advice.

Thanks

Aibisoye0:
Do you have a birth certificate for your son indicating his father's name and your own maiden name?

Yeah, she has the child' birth certificate from population commission indicating stating her name (with maiden name) as the mother and also the the child father's name( the one on the child's passort). Please advice

Good morning all. Please are there usually cheap flght tickets during festive period, or are they likely going to b more expensive due to the large number of pple that will be travelling around Xmas? Need to get this ticket tin sorted before person begin spend the money small small. Lolz.

Thank so much for the reply. I later called Delta as adviced and the price they gave me no smile at all. N445k compared to the 270k on wakanow. Thinking I will go with wakanow but will need to do some calculation so that we don't need change travel dates,will only be left with adding baby's ticket which can not be up to the 175k difference. Thinking of booking the return leg to be exactly a month after expected delivery date. We are thinking of c-section



Na wa o. Before I was able to decide , price don go up. Now N345k. I guess I will still have to wait a bit to c if I can get a better deal. Abeg, kindly alert the house is u get any better deal. Destination is missouri , planning to travel late January or latest 3rd Feb., 2016. Thank you

[quote author=LI post=40589190]I'll let the people who gave birth in Missouri give specific guidance. But generally speaking, as long as you're very well prepared, a month is more than enough to get all your baby's documents.
We decided for wifey to stay back a month after giving birth. After we got all our documents in less than 2 weeks, iyawo became homesick.

Thanks

doctors in the USA don't induce until after 40 weeks unless it's high risk pregnancy/multiples,but am thinking for you to want to go for CS upfront maybe she has done it before.

Thanks for the response. Yes , we had our daughter tru CS. Fear catch me wen she said we can schedule the CS for a week bfor the scan EDD. Appreciate

Please kindly advice, will a month be enough to process all baby's document in Missouri ? secondly, pls is it true that we can choose the delivery date? Abeg help me o, before I go enter one chance

Good day all, I am trying to buy wiffy's ticket to Missouri,I got a deal of 270k for her and our 18month old daughter on wakanow website(Delta). I am skeptical abt dis because I av read it here that to change date or add ticket is not always easy with wakanow and co. Pls how can I buy directly from the airline , I av tried their(Delta airline)website but was not able to and i don't stay in Lagos. Please , is there a number I can call to book the flight? Secondly, the itinerary is atlanta - LA Guardia - Kansas city (Missouri). I kW the POE will be Atlanta but pls will her luggage be checked to her final destination or will she need to pick it in Atlanta first? I am just concerned about having to carry load with big belle and 18 month old child. Kindly help with these questions . thanks

Just be sure that your wife's name is mentioned in the email. That is, the Dr appointment is in ur wife's name[/quote]@omogedudu99.The letter was only sent to the person but it was addressed to us , as in:Dear Mr and Mrs Xyz, though she might be going alone while I will go join her later , all things being equal.

@shrekandfiona, we intend to declare the pregnancy. We v sent the notification and got a reply.

@ozycy, yeah she will b going with a couple or $ above the stated amount in the letter.

Thank y'll . Really appreciate

ozycy:
The letter is very OK for POE. She should carry enof cash or bank statement to show she have up to the amount stated in the letter if not more. She's good to go.

.


Thank u.

Good morning all. Pls I just want to sure this is good enough for POE. I av been in contact with a hospital for a while , all our conversation has been through telephone, they said they don't send mail outside the US, I was able to persuade them to send it to a relative in US. What they sent is a letter quoting their fees and also stating that my wife has an appointment with both the financial department and a doctor on a stated date. My concerns: Is this good enough as the Preached doctor's/ hospital's correspondence?The letter was signed by a financial counsellor, pls do I need to push further for any other correspondence or Document. I just want to be sure Wifey is good to go.

Good day,
Please, I am getting confused with d weeks/ month thing o. Is 4 weeks not 1 month in pregnancy? I av read pple say they travel at 36 weeks is that not 9months already? Planning wiffy will travel at 8 months , that means its not 32weeks? Pls help clearify. Thanks

Cuteaidomo:
ETC means emergency travel certificate. It's a second option for bringing baby back to Naija if you don't want to apply for Naija visa.

Oh! I see. Thank you

Thank u so much. So far, so good. I am making progress. I later called one of the hospitals I contacted before now and they have agreed to send their cost and also an appointment letter to my Frnd in the US. I av also contacted Wycoff hospital as advised by Customised87 and fruitilicious, so whichever comes first. I think I need to relax til I get my desired responses and will then decide which to use. I will take the break to read tru again . I know I will need info abt flight booking. Also want to c if I can get the meaning of ETC

@all. Please help o. I have being trying to get correspondence from hospital in new York for a while now, but I av not been successful with it. I keep calling different ones that i got here and the ones I browsed . some of them are saying they can't send mail outside the US. Please help me out o, or am I going about it the wrong way? They all don't have email address and wen I callbthe phone number, they tell me their fees but immediately I tell them to help me send it to my box,that the end. Please is there a particular way to go about this or could anyone help with an email address or sumtin. Please

This is to say thank for all the info. I sent the Notification of intent and got a reply(pay all ur bill and collect all receipts blah blah blah). Thank y'll. Still looking for hospital and doctor in New York though,as I have not been able to get the Email address of any(Even the ones mentioned on this thread) or maybe I just don't kW how to navigate through their site properly. The hospital that was recommended said the cant send mails outside the USA. I will still be trying,but in case u av any info as regards this, I will really appreciate. Thank you
