Hello house, I want to renew my B1/B2 Visa. It will expire in Dec 6 2016, I intend travelling in Oct and may stay till Dec thats why i want to renew it. Pls how do i go about it. Should i go fill the DS160 form again?

.


You don't need to renew your visa since its valid within your travelling date. You can renew when you come back

kwentjules:
Thanks firstymum!!! D tin is during my interview I wasn't asked any question abt being pregnant.. if dey asked I would have said yes!.... dey only asked my hubby wherehe works, how many years. asked me too d same questions.... that was all!...that's why am thinking of sending dem my letter of intent..

.


Pls don't send any letter of intent. They might cancel your visa and the risk is high for you. You need to be very careful even at the point of entry. Maybe you can can go for one week vacation at the place you filled in your application first before your birth adventure

Mumtwins08:
Hi everyone ... Who has flown Lufthansa back to naija before ? Was ur babies car seat and stroller checked in for free ? Thanks

.


They carry ur baby car seat and stroller free.you have two 23kg and one hand luggage, baby has one 23 kg , one hand luggage and a diaper bag of any size as long as u can it . tip- beg them to check in your hand luggage and baby's hand luggage. So you can carry the diaper bag and your hand bag . pls remembered you have a baby but if you have a stroller its easier for you.

@firstty, abeg ejoor biko please can I get a copy of that your jotter. That's one Darling. Keep it up

jacksparow:
Very interesting.
someone will spend extra 70k flying to lagos and back and if you have no where to stay, hotel bill just to collect PTA.and if the person doesnt want to put it in a dorm account and it gets stolen by robbers what then..... these banks are not sensitive at all. Kai

.


Don't blame the banks. We don't pay in fx in branches again so how would they get the dollar to pay you. Its CBN and the policies plus low oil price we should blame. That said. If you want to collect pta from Lagos you can speak to your account office or a friend in the paticular bank to see if they could help arrange with the head office to send it down or find someone in Lagos to collect for you with an authorization letter( if the bank allows that . I know some do ). Or find out if there is a way they will keep it as collected so u can pick close to yiur traveling date.(cos if its not collected, they are bound by CBN to return it.) Pls note that the last option should ONLY be considered if you have a solid contact or a close friend in that head office

temyb:
They are still in the NICU but coming out soon. Maybe I would do it that way but want to know if I can do it in Houston

You can do it in Houston. Note you can't apply without the babies present but you can pick without them. So you have to wait till there are OK .I support the move to Houston where you have someone ( hope they are willing to help) to drive to place and share the burden with. The Lord is your strength. Hold on its almosttttt over

[quote author=firsttymum post=47160714]But withdrawal method works na... It works jor. It's just when u mistakenly over enjoy it.

[quote author=KayLayChi post=47158847]No real club, I was seriously dieting and the belle was just getting big so I had to do a strip test at home before all the scans.

Glad to know I have a partner, they only person that knows is my mum, I'm wondering people's expression and thoughts when they see my belle when I just gave birth in August. Make I talk true shame dey catch me.


If I hear!!!!!
Come make I no vex for you before baba God join me for the vexing. Are you aware that people are fasting and praying for just one pregnancy and you are here saying you are ashamed say u sabi catch goal. Plus u no even feel the morning sickness.people like us wey no fit keep down food during almost thru out the pregnancy. Chai there is God o.

[quote author=chloe7 post=47157607]what i'm saying is what the law says as regards it, mama's have carried over 10k into the us and none of them actually haven't said they were called for interview when renewing visa, also during the interview most people give $18k 15k as birth estimate and the v.o's are fine with it why because it is Legal to carry such amount of money once it is declared. [/quotat .

I never said its illegal to carry cover 10,000 USD. Am speaking out of my personal experience,my brother and my husband . we have all been called at renewal cos we at different times declare over 10,000. Like I said they want to verify the purpose of funds. They know people enter the USA for various reasons. They want to be sure of ur reason especially when u did not declare ur intention to give birth.

You can declare amount over 10,000 USD but most times when you apply for renewal, they will call you for interview to find out what and how you spent the money. Its better to hold 10,000 and send the balance across.

EvaMD:
been reading and still following up,

just to give update on my decision so far as per giving birth in Yankee,after careful review and timeline my DH and I have decided to just jejely born the pikin( issue) for naija, I tried registering with the hospital in dallas I chose but my contact there was so busy and with the case of applying and securing close appointment date seeming impossible I didn't wanna risk paying a hospital 1k dollars for registration then begin speak phonetics after for refund, seeing as I didn start the process on time.

so my people any mamas recommend good hospitals in lagos ( am thinking of going with premier specialist in VI, grateful for reviews.




Thank you to all who commented and adviced ( lady G and all the other commenters who showed interest and gave genuine opinions, you guys are the real MVP)

I go contact my NL again when I wan tackle this UK embassy people for my settlement visa. Fingers crossed.

thanks abunch

.


If you really want to birth in another state in usa not Dallas. They are so many places u can get ur letter sharply. Elpaso, maryland. But in the case of Maryland u go hold like 15-18k . But u will get all document via email. But if u no get time ..... any how good luck and safe delivery

NaijaMama:
Stanbic is 315. I don't know about 1st bank but it's way more expensive

.


Check when u use it cos it's now 335

ai100:
please is Gtbank still working and what rate is first and stanbic now

.


Not too sure of them but I think someone mentioned that she used them and also gave rate

MommaT:
Please what rate does uber use for naija cards when you use them in themthe my
in the US.

.

It's depend on the bank card u are using and the bank rate

ijeomaobi1:
@isysleek,

Abeg check Ur statement like some weeks later. UBA behaves like MTN from my observation.

Moreover,CBN has stopped usage of naira cards outside the borders of naija.

Haba udiboy,

How can u be boy and be female? Suspicion no 1. Then u ask us for information and u want to extort us!!!. Oga gba break

.


Some cards are still going like first bank and stanbic. Just that the rate is story for another day. Almost same with black market

ijeomaobi1:
Haba chikos,

Cheap hospital kwa? A difference of $1,000 no be joke o.

@ LADY G,

Ehhmm.... Dat journalist nko? Gist us small about d interview on USA birthing.

.

it's alright. We all know how hard things are but let me also let you know that apart from hospital bill,doctors bill please carry minimum extra 3000. So make sure u factor that in your budget cos you need to process baby ticket and process baby paper plus food and transportation and things for the baby. It will amaze how the money finishes like someone stole from you

Ajujuju2:
Let me start by saying that any man that says women are frail/fragile should castrated!
The lengths we go for the ones we love shows more strength than they will ever understand.

I must also congratulate you on your resilience and determination.You have offered those girls a privilege that is beyond money or power. You offered them a future.

Your faith worked alot. The Lord also blessed your life with the miracle of their birth and for that we say: PRAISEEEEEE THE LORD! Can i get an AMEN from the sisters?

Although please i will advice against taking such risks next time especially as it was ivf.

.


My sentiment exactly. I thank God for the miracle and it worked out as she planned. But considering the fact that water is already leaking, it was a huge risk .we really thank God

ijeomaobi1:
@ezigbosi,

Does the 2,500 include first visit,ultrasound and lab test for the oby/gyn? If so, na im cheap pass.

.


U too like cheap hospital info lol. Don't blame you sha cos of the naira dollar situation. Make up ur mind and go with one. Pray for God s favor and u might be pleasantly surprised.

Xenadarl:
Thanks, am grateful. Any idea abt ibtc?

.

Next day [/quote.

You paid 165 at the passport agency. Passport agency are not every state. For instance for pple in Maryland and Virginia , the nearest agency is in Washington. So when u add the train or taxi money plus the stress of draging the baby.

.

U paid 165 and got the next day at the post office? which state are u in?

customised87:
Its not only those that have one month extra stay that use the post office o, its mainly for those who dont have a passport office in dre vicinity, they are left with only one option of requesting through the post office if they dont want to travel to another state that has a passport office.

.

Of course anyone can use the post office. Never implied otherwise. but considering u have to get ur BC before applying. If you have less than one month or at most three weeks, u might not get it before ur travel date. Cos the fastest u can receive the passport is two weeks. Just letting pple know about that option so they can use it if they have the time instead of booking flight and train to new York or Washington

HouseofMabella:
Hello everyone , my baby BC is out, but d SSN is taking too long to be ready here in Maryland, pls what can I do? I was to told it will be mailed to my address, but it been 2weeks now , I need it for my baby blue passport.

.

Hello, pls how long did it take before your BC came back.

For those with one month plus extra stay after birth, u can request for your baby American passport from the post office. Think the fee is 179. Pay extra 14 dollars to get it in two weeks.

Msp:
hi, can he wait till the baby is born? you can notarize in ups or fedex for a fee, or if he has a us bank account i think he can get it notarized in the bank.

.


Thanks dear.

ridlaw:
Hello house, My sister intends to have her baby in the US. She is 4 months pregnant with a visiting visa which she got last month. Should she write a change of intent to the embassy? There's somewhere I read if she writes a change of intent after just a month of obtaining her visa, it could be cancelled. How true?! This is her first child after 9 years of marriage so she doesn't want to take any chance. How can she best achieve her aim?
Justwise, LadyG and other gurus in the house should kindly help with the information.

Let your sister go for her vacation first.she should use the opportunity to look for a doctor and hospital. Then comeback for the delivery. She might get her visa cancelled if she writes to the embassy considering the fact that she is already four months

evemama:
I don't understand n this whole drama o! Which way nija na? My ticket is united, I don't need all this headache and its for july ending. How I wan take return na.

.

They said they will refund you the full amount paid which means that they won't be flying from Nigeria from first of July. So call and find out how u will collect ur money

[quote author=CassyO post=46004236]My dear pls can I have a Sample of this notarized consent .

sure, send ur email

Hello all,

Pls I have a question. If your husband is currently in usa but will not available to witness the birthing and process document, should he go ahead and pre sign the consent letter and get it notarized before the birth of the baby. If it is possible, where can he notarized the consent letter.

Thanks

CassyO:
Hello mamac and papas finally my little angle has arrived I want to thank each and everyone of you that has contributed to this forum. my story. Work up early hours of the 23rd of May to peeonly to find out I was peeing blood, told my mum and she said it was time to go to the hospital.

On getting there I was checked in. Baby and mother where both doing well but mother was not not dilated. I was still 2cm after 24hours my doctor had to out me on meds to help with the dilating. So my mum and I started to pary finally I was 4cm but the meds was not good for the baby as his heart rate was droping drestically. Do y doctor said we would have to do a CS my face dropped was unhappy about this as I had budgeted for VD. Mind you baby was still at risk we both where.

Finally my mum told me it's the will of God. To cut the story short my baby came yesterday he weighed 6.25 pound and is very healthy. Mother is still under recovery. I just want to thank God for my life and that of my baby because we where both at full risk.

My only worry is this bill but am sure God will do it again for me. Help me thank God everyone.

.



Congrats dear, no worry about bills. Times are hard yes but your life and that of the baby is more important. There is always the option of payment plan.
