Booklets are so available now. They were supplied on Monday. I applied for my son 3 days ago and picked up yesterday at Ikoyi office

OMG I just called and my uncle is at the scene weeping uncontrollably... Too many lives has been lost. The truck lost brake and wiped people. Total is a very busy place with too many hawkers. God have mercy!

LadyGuinivere:
@Emeriem did she try to re book immedately?
She has to wait either 24 or 48 hours

Thanks so much LadyG. There's a link for new appointment now but it is not accepting the old receipt number. What should we do? Who else has experienced this? I'm really hoping she is not required to pay a new visa fee

Has anyone experienced this or know the solution?
A friend filled the form Ds160 and booked an appointment. She later retrieved the application and made some corrections. The application number changed due to the correction. Yesterday was her interview but she was sent back because the appointment Barcode didn't tally with the application confirmation. This is because she booked appointment before she made the correction. She's been trying to book a new appointment but her receipt number is not accepted. Has anyone experienced this or have a solution? Also do you have any idea on how she can get a closers date for another appointment? Please reply asap. Thanks in advance

Hi mama's and papas, sorry i've just been very lazy to type. My journey was super successful. My baby arrived on 10th of April. God was with me all through. VBAC didn't work for me so I ended up with emergency Csection. My budget of 2.5m couldn't work either due to the high exchange rate. Well, I'm back home with my bouncing son...which is most important.
Thanks to everyone who advised/contributed to my success.
Modath, happytbaby, omodadi (your contact gave me clue to a very cheap ticket) etc. God bless you all. Nerf, a sister from another mother, you are an angel. God bless you!

ZillyO:
Congrats girl!!! Happy for you, have you settled for any hospital yet?

I'm still looking dear. Hopefully , i will find the one i can afford soon

biollar1:
Congrats dear

We were so worried about you. May the rest of ur journey be fruitful and positive as well.

Thanks darling , God is just awesome

modath:
Abi you meant 298+?

I sent you a PM, I don't know if delivered . Modath4@.yahoo.com

I mean N398.000 to $1.00
Its a big rip off

Currently in NY , my flight was very smooth. Im so grateful to God. POE was ATL . I was only asked if i have contacted a doctor and how i intend to pay. The question even came after i have been stamped 6 months. He further asked why i allow my daughter who has a green card stay out of the US for too long.
Had a little issue with secondary inspection though ... they seized my 2 tubers of yam, indomie noodles and knorr chicken cubes. They warned me that i would be fined $300 the third time(this is the second time) i bring such items into the US. I will be very careful now.

Please beware of Zenith bank cards, I was charged N398+ per dollar today via pos. I'm so angry right now.

Natsuki:
Did they already sent you the letter? Is is signed by a doctor? When they will see you? Did they tell you they need to do an $250 scan? Because im going to el paso also

Yes i got the drs letter signed. No i wasnt told about scan. It should be in the package

TheLeakyTribe:
Love your post.

Also look out for coupons, for food, for clothes, for baby things, anything!

Ain't no shame in the game, most Americans never pay full price for anything. Register online with all the baby stores so you can get alerts for their sales and discounts as well as get coupons and offers.

Thanks dear

TheLeakyTribe:
What did you use the card for? Have you already travelled?

I used it to pay Doctores Para Ti registration fee ($154.5) via paypal and Zenith bank debited me N52,280.49

I just used my Zenith card and was charged N338.5 per dollar. Now that really high , I wont just use Zenith again

adunni:
awwwwwwwwwww moma you rock!!!! hang in there, you don make this one!!!!! thumbs up. I'm inspired by your "never give up spirit"

Thanks sister , this thread encouraged me . infact i almost cancelled my ticket today

omodadi:
Congratulations!!!! What a good news to hear. Pls when did you open the IBTC account?

i opened it on monday

I'm so grateful to all of you who have encouraged me in this. Nefertiriam(u r an angel) , zillyo, happytbaby etc. God bless you all.
I finally got usd4000 from stanbic ibtc today. Went there early morning and left some mins past 6:00pm but it was worth the stress.
I can't remember who mentioned Mr Femi here today. I'm also very grateful to that person, he really helped me.
Will still see what I can do to get more dollars tomorrow. I will still appreciate further advice. God bless you all

My dear people, my flight is this weekend. Im just thinking of cancelling my ticket since I'm unable to get PTA, I can't do black market with the little cash I have. I'm am afraid of being deported or getting stranded in the Us. Delta is charging 95k for change and penalty, what do you advise please?

chloe7:
Emeriem how far with your pta waka, any luck so far?

My dear, you wont believe i spent all day in Cotonuo today. Its even worse than Naija as their black market sold for N350.
I will continue my search in Lagos tomorrow, my flight is this weekend

happytbaby:
Sorry dear. Have you tried StanbicIBTC?

yes dear i was at their head office today ... they wont even book me. The guy at the window said i must book at least 2 weeks before my travel date

I'm not in Abuja my dear. I live in Lagos

This Pta issue is frustrating me now. My flight is this weekend. Went to several banks today, no luck

I still havent sorted the issue of Doctor/hospital and accommodation. Who has a reliable contact at elpaso please help

allen0000:
US$ 1.....582.87 CFA

582 CFA =198.98


This coming week is going to be hell for naira ooo........cos there is no direction for the economy and there is no national budget for now So the better the early, those traveling should take a trip to Ghana or Benin republic......even central bank will soon stop the BTA/PTA......and the form A cos Nigeria reserve is going down daily. Good luck to all the mamas and papas,.............leaving Chicago in few days to Nija via PH

Please where did you get this info from? I just called a brother in Cotonue and he said the rate as of now is N315 to USD1

Thanks so much my dear family. I appreciate everyone of you. I called Delta and was able to book ticket @ 346k for both me and my kid. Im so happy with the rate. I'm so grateful to everyone that is concerned, this is a great forum honestly.
What is left is to make up my mind on hospital and accommodation. Someone please help me with an El paso doctors contact .
I also need help on accommodation

omodadi:
I got 247k to NY yesterday on etihad, contact 08056920009

Can someone please help me verify this lady 080569692000? She is very far from me and also sells from home.
She said she will send the ticket after i have made a bank deposit to her.
Her price is so reasonable, she got N205k and 185k for Delta airlines.
I'm afraid of being scammed , some please advise. I'm in Ajah and she said her house is in Egbeda

mamasama:
Delta currently has a companion economy class promo@ 235k to houston,atlanta, Chicago, Washington D.C
Ticketing ends on 14/2/16, minimum of 2 travellers, maximum stay is 3 months

Please where did you see this and how do i buy it?

I see my option here is just lufthansa , united airlines and Delta. others wont carry me at this stage. I also want to avoid Houston POE

happytbaby:
Please decide on the doctor/hospital quickly (from the options people give here) so that you can apply for Form A to pay Doctor upfront @200 naira per dollar. Also check the last few pages for the banks where people bought PTA. If you pay your fees lets say N1.4M, you can then take 3,000 dollars from PTA (this is assuming that you get ticket of N500k. Really tight but God is with you.

I'm so grateful you all can help me, feeling blessed honestly. I have decided to use Dr. E of Oakbend. I will live anytime from 25th to 28th of Feb and return 7 weeks after --- by 25th of April.
Does Dr E accept direct bank transfer? Must I have a dom account to be able to do form A? I only have dom account with Zenith and UBA , i dont know if these banks do form A and at what rate
God bless you @Happytbaby

Thanks dear friends. I'm glad you all can help- favouredgal, chloe7,anonymousmum etc, I'm glad you can help.. I can't really leave my kid behind, she will suffer unnecessarily.
Will send emails to Dr E tonight. Can someone help me with the Soulcare contact?

please can you help me with a link for tickets at the 250k range? All i have gotten is above 300k
