It is my turn to share my testimony.

My LO was born yesterday 11th May 2016. Some of you would recall how my Dollars were stolen by my help before my trip. I was well prepared to follow it up and post everywhere about it but after my first doctors appointment here, the stolen money was irrelevant to me.

The doctor did a scan and said she found spots on my LO's heart that were indicative of either a hole in the heart or downs syndrome. I began to pray and believe God even though I was very shaken by the news.

Long story short, she arrived yesterday and is completely fine. She followed me straight from the OR to the postpartum recovery room. Join me praise the Lord. I'm one happy mumma.

We bought our baby's ticket from KLM office in Victoria island Lagos. I actually sent my friend to buy the ticket and link it with ours. i paid about 22k+....

Petdaughter:


@nefertitiram

Dear Nef, pls how did you add your infant on KLM. I used a travel Agency to book my ticket. I contacted them and they said it's the airline. Pls I want to know if I can pay the airline over the phone or to pay at the point of departure. Also how much did you pay so I can have an idea. Meanwhile the infant luggage allowance is so pathetic, how did you do Biko? Was it really 10kg as I saw on their website? Thanks a million

Someone told us a story last year on behalf of her sister, where her sister passed thru Abu Dhabi POE and was caught with her certificate, she was turned back.

Abu Dhabi POE is some thing else.

Hi All,

Just arrived chicago about an hr ago... we flew etihad airways and the flight was damn longgg. Took us 7hrs to abudhabi, 8hrs transit, and 14hrs to chicago @ 35weeks... while we were waiting, that was how one oyinbo came to call all of us waiting to travel to the US at the lounge in abudhabi. CBP in Abudhabi oh, then gave all of us landing cards to fill and said we will be called shortly by immigration. He explained that once we are cleared in abudhabi, we will just go straight to baggage claim in Chicago. He said it's a new service called US preclearance (kindly Google). To cut the story short, they built a terminal for this purpose and it's terminal 3. We all queued and when it got to my turn, na secondary inspection sure pass. Husband n I were the only Nigerians and some Indians. It wasn't so bad but that 15mins I spent there was the longest 15mins mins of my life... in my mind I was just like this ppl won't even ve mercy on me that is a first timer to even see America na for abudhabi they go send somebody back. Lol. Will post my transcript shortly after this so this post won't be too long.

Anyway i did tax refund in el paso. The name of the office is MELEK!!!

Find attached the list of Shop/Stores that does tax refund

Able15:
Hello House,


Is tax refund applicable here in the US? If yes, what are the requirements/processes?

i bought the ticket immediately after delivery. sent somebody to pay in their VI office.

mamacajah:

@dyout, really? this is new information. Thanks for sharing. I always thot you can only pay for baby's ticket after birth. I have a friend who's about embarking on their first journey very soon and this information is timely. Pls I just want to confirm, can the baby's ticket be bought even before delivery? Thanks.

i am using KLM, But delta from dallas to Atlanta then KLM to Lagos. I paid 22k+ in their Lagos office for Two ways ticket for my baby.

drfdee:

OMary83:
i did Naija visa myself,ur card won't go thru except u use ur baby's name as acc holder ooo.I didn't pay 65usd for expedited so I started calling d embassy from d 8th working day to d extent d guy had to give me his private no because I was persistent.wont advise u to do it urself because u don't have much time now but u can pm if u still want to go ahead.meanwhile,someone just sent 300usd money order to Tanko yesterday from Los Angeles,call Tanko again.La mums,there is a usps office in passport office downtown,u can just send to Tanko immediately u pick ur baby's passport by 2pm.

Shelly23 thank u very much.

i have been on ur page for somedays now, trying to get details of processing naija visa. Anyway, i felt they might delay my order, i had to use Tanko. Becos i have limited time left.

shelly23:
Just seeing this. Your best bet is to pay with money order cos the card thing is loooong (you Have to register the card with them by submitting all sorts).
When you get to the payment section, select money order and you'll see more options.
.

Una thank you very much…..Ozycy, phema, modath, shrekandfiona etc

What happened was, Tanko told wify yesterday it is $350, Then this morning i called him he told me $300. i sharply sent the document to him.

Thank you all for your assistance

I have till 20th jan.

modath:



I believe it's been that $350 since time immemorial or was it $300?...

I know the difference will buy baby some clothes but what i did was to tell myself , it was part of medical cost (had it in my budget though) ... How long do you have left in the US?

i don't know what to advice u. My baby was born the same day 15th of Dec.

I pray God will see through. Your baby shall be strong and healthy for you.

kkbabygirl:

[b]I entered the US legally to deliver my baby. The baby was born in Dec 15.

Regrettably the baby was born with a congenital heart disease called trunsuc artheriosis. She has had two heart surgeries and is currently in the hospital. She has lived all her life in the cardiovascular intensive care unit.

At the moment, the doctors are uncertain of her discharge date. Additionally the baby is billed for more hospital visits and surgeries in the future.

Unfortunately, the health care delivery in Nigeria cannot guarantee my baby a better care. I have confirmed that our hospitals are ill equipped and have poor manpower and skill to manage the baby health. The baby's condition is such that she will require a periodic hospital visit and future replacement of some valve in the heart.

I am skeptical of taking my baby back home. While I am praying for her complete recovery, it is my desire to remain in the US and watch my baby have the best health care in the world.

Please I need advise on how to achieve this.

Thank you. [/b]

Thank u very much.

Omo…… Tanko is calling $350 for naija Visa. i am thinking of doing the ETC Which is $270 from reviews i got here

modath:



I procured baby's naija visa through an agent, i love to save a buck but when i weighed the cost of what extending our tickets (other people's experiences) cos naaija embassy are unreliable, I just saved myself the emotional drama ...

Nef didn't do by herself as well, she used Emergency travel certificate & if i can remember , Phema & Tvegas used agents as well!

Bros if u are hustling u should not be begging. Whether deep or surface. The more money u get here the more ure encouraged.
Your issue have bin over flogged.

hishuula10:
THANKS BRO,I WILL FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO. But its not as if i'm not hustling ,now i think i should go deep in hustling

Southwest Airline has 2 baggage allowances and their landing airport is Dallas love-field. It is better u make enuf timing btw ur landing and ur taking off. I think u can get Delta Airline from DFW to Houston, but it will be expensive at this time.

But, since ure adventures u can try the 4hours bus tin.

Best of luck

Apple19:


Hmmmmmm, am adventurous O, just want to enjoy myself cos thinking of going to Houston alone without anyone around sef is killing me already. How do I connect the whole thing easily, cos of my luggage O.
