@bellong

Thanks for your timely response.

My husband doesn't have any experience in Primary health care. He however has a Post Graduate diploma in Anaesthesia, he has been working in Anaesthesia department for about 7 years now. He is 44 years old, I hope this won't be a disadvantage?

Did anyone experience this scenario? Please I need some guidance to pass through this dilemma and I will apprreciate this

Thanks[/quote]

Some banks require you fill an indemnity form to be able to do online (FX) transaction and I think First bank is one of such banks.

Just walk into any of their branches to do this, it shouldn't take more than 20mins.

GTB and some other banks do not require an indemnity as you would be sent an OTP when you do online transactions.

I hope this is helpful.

Dear Gurus. I am new on this thread and I have read from zero page to the page 15. I however have a peculiar case and would like your opinion on how to go about it.

I have the following:

HND Secretarial Administration from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic
BSc Psychology from University of Ibadan
MBA Marketing from Lautech

My husband is a Medical Doctor (MBBS) and also have a diploma in Anaesthesia both from University of Ibadan

I have however been working as a Marketer in a commercial bank professionally for about 7 years now.

I am at a loss to what to go for as the only thing relevant to me in my opinion is Marketing Specialist 225113 under VETASSES.

Will I qualify for this as I have been working as a Marketer for 7 years even though my BSC is in Psychology?

Thank you as I await your professional advice.

Good morning, I am not sure if this is right thread to ask my question but please answer if you can. I gave birth to my son in the US last year May and got his American Passport before coming back to Nigeria. I however noticed that his sex was erroneously written as F instead of M. There is an error on his State of birth too. I didn't notice all these while in the US. What can I do to correct these errors? Thank you.

I gave birth in Doctors Hospital, Augusta, Georgia. Wonderful hospital and wonderful Doctor. I used Dr. Cheeks. Doctor's bill is 2300 (this has to be paid on your first appointment) plus scan but without lab tests, he won't accept your Naija tests. Hospital bill is 3150 uncomplicated VD without epidural and circumcision. Circumcision is 400, not sure how much epidural is cos I didn't use it.

Hope this helps.



quote author=oluwajenny post=45908453]Good evening to all the mummies and the mummies to be,

I have been reading your post on this thread for awhile, I wish I found this particular thread early b4 having my first child and while I was heading to the U.S. to have my second, coz I had to cough out almost 10k in Maryland .

I need your help on my third, I am in third trimester, I will be about 36 weeks by the time I get to the U.S.

I am heading to Albany Georgia, I have search for OB Gyn's contact and all there prices are crazy, the least I got was for 3085usd.

I don't know if we have anybody in the forum that gave birth in Albany Georgia and can give me a cheap Dr's referral.

I will be glad if I get a swift response,

Thank U.

Good day beautiful mamas and papas in the house! Thank you for all you do to make this forum worthwhile. I gave birth to a very cute boy on Monday through VD! He weighed 4.1kg.

Atlanta moms, please can someone be kind enough to tell me if any notary public can sign the consent form for my LO's passport or it has to be US embassy notarised? We don't stay in Lagos and my husband wouldn't want to travel to Lagos except if that is the only option.

Thank you.

Please what is Atlanta POE like.

Atlanta POE in my opinion is sweet. I passed through it in April and I didn't spend up to 5 mins with the CBP. The CBP asked why I'm in the US and I told him to give birth. He asked for how much cash I had and I said 4k cash and some money on my cards. That was it, the money was not even counted. No secondary inspection; nothing was seized though I only carried plantain chips and Knorr ordinary.

Dear moms! On PTA search, try Unity Bank. Just open an account with them, fund the account and fill the PTA application form. You will be called when they have. Knowing someone there is an advantage. You can get the PTA within a week of application if you know someone there. They also send Money Gram!

Thanks. This is so reassuring.

You can get the browsing time using more than one email. Once u exhaust one, set it up with another email. I did that and never got bored. You can also window shop. When u r thirsty, ask for free water. Sleep, if u feel like, they also allow pregnant women stay in the Business class lounge.
My layover was just for 5hrs though.

Lol! Thank you so much! Cheap ticket indeed! Ticket prices ain't smiling o!


Pele.

1st 30 minutes -get free WiFi for however long it lasts and ping and browse and inform your people that the 1st leg of your journey has been done and dusted.

2. ask around, some airlines give free meals when you have long layovers.

3. find a secluded corner with enough seats for you to lie down, if possible get one Close to your check in area, restrooms and a screen were you can see flight details.

4. lie down and snooze.

5. this is very important when you have a long layover it is essential that you have as little carry on luggage as possible.

6. wake up, check the time and snooze some more. ignore anyone asking you to sit up, you're pregnant you need the rest grin

7. window shop.

8. exercise your toilet breaks( if you're like me you'll probably have 10 or more in the 10 hour wait )

9. begin to realise that long lay overs are frustrating and promise yourself never to do it again.

10. do it again and repeat 1 to 9 because, cheaper tickets!

Great moms! How una dey o? Has anyone flown BA to Atlanta before? There is an almost 10 hours layover at Heathrow airport! How does a pregnant woman without a UK visa survive almost 10 hours wait without doing anything. Any advise on how to kill boredom during the long wait?

Hello mommies in the house! Please what is the other best option as per airline to Atlanta! I would have preferred Delta but the price I am getting is so high. I need to buy my ticket this week as I intend travelling on April 1st. Thank you as I await your much needed advise. God bless you all.

Hello wonderful moms! I am a May mom heading to Atlanta on April 1st at about 35 weeks (though my final destination is GROVETOWN, Augusta, Gerogia). I am however a little bit confused about booking for my ticket. I saw Air France ticket on Travel Start for N284,000 but an agent is giving me a quote of about N360,000. I told him about the price on Travel start but he said if I want to book for that ticket, I have to have a Shengen visa. Has anyone experienced this? Kindly advise. My travel date is April 1st to June 25th.

Hi dear! Please share your transcript, so others will learn too

Thanks @cinakin . My interview went thus:

Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, oh you're a Banker (I was wearing my Bank's lapel and ID)
Me: Yes
VO: What Bank do you work with and how long have you been with them?
Me: Told him
VO: What is your purpose of travelling to the US
Me: Childbirth and vacation
VO: Which State will you be going and who will you be staying with
Me: Georgia and I'll be staying with a friend
VO: Have you contacted any Doctor yet and can I have your correspondence with him
Me: I said yes and showed him an appointment letter I got from a Dr. over there. I also gave him my invitation letter.
VO: How did get to know the Doctor
Me: My friend that I will be staying with recommended him
VO: Has your friend used him
Me: No, but she said her friends used him. I have also spoken with the Doctor a couple of time
VO: Can I have your budget if you have one
Me: I gave him my well prepared budget (thanks to you guys)
VO: Congratulations, (he handed me a white paper) he then went ahead to tell me not to use medicaid and that I should keep all my receipts.

Like I said before, I have never travelled before.

That's it. Please o, I am still shopping for hospitals and Doctors in Grovetown, Georgia or its environs. I am trying to weigh my options.

Hello mamas in the house! Compliment of the season and a happy New year to you. Can anyone recommend a budget hospital/Doctor in GROVETOWN, Georgia or it's environs?

God bless you real good.

Hi everyone. I have been a silent observer on this thread and I must confess that it has been a worthwhile experience. I got so many helpful information on this thread that assisted my positive interview outcome. I was granted a US visa this month even though I have never travelled out before. I stated that my purpose for going to U.S. is for childbirth, the only document that was requested for was my budget, Doctor's correspondence and I also gave him my invitation letter as I would be staying with a friend.

I went there wearing my bank's lapel and ID. The first thing the VO said was "oh, you are Banker!" Cos of my ID card. So I guess wearing of work IDs could be helpful.

I am due middle May but I want to travel first week in April. I plan to give birth in GROVETOWN, Georgia. Has anyone given birth in this town before? I need recommendations on budget hospitals and Doctors.

Thank you.
