Oga JW and nasadiva hmmn...NL been cracking me up seriously!
Btw has anyone gone through Baltimore POE here? Please share,that's my poe tomorrow oh
tanzzz

Just declare your intentions...it's was my poe last year, I was sent to secondary inspection, had all my burden of proof intact, in the end was told it's not a crime to have your baby in the US but a lot of us lie about it and that's where the problem lies. They have time wella as it's not a busy airport. Some1 has been sent back before, she dint declare her birthing plans, she was turned back at agriculture.

Hello house! First timer here. Pls I have a visa that expires on the 11th of september and I intend traveling on the 1st of September cos my due date is in November. I want to know if I have to apply for a visa renewal before I travel (that is before the expiration date of the visa) or I should apply for renewal  when I get to the US ( that is after the expiration of the visa)‎. Will I be allowed into the states with my almost expired visa wen my due date is in November? I need answers plsssssss

I think it's best to renew ur visa to be on d safe side, am also due in November I renewed my visa last week, the previous visa was to expire in August. I don't think it's possible to renew ur visa in the US since u are not a permanent resident there, you can only file for an extension of stay, that's if you need to stay beyond the date stamped on ur pp at ur point of entry.

It doesn't matter, who is good is good. I did 5mths wit a cousin I met on facebook. Na tears dem take tell me goodbye.

Nerf I agree with you, whoever is good is good, I stayed with my bestie for 4 month with no single issue.

@girlloom so sorry for ur ordeal, having unfriendly in laws is the worst thing that can happen to anyone especially when they have a strong hold on ur husband
Just see if u can get the SSn blocked, and pray for restoration of peace in your marriage
Nemesis will catch up with them in due time

Vicjustice:

Type of visa C
Number of entries MULT
Duration of stay was blank

Can it be a mistake? What steps can be taken to rectify this? Am in desperate need for a response. Thanks in advance

ifyalways:
6 weeks validity or 6 weeks maximum stay? Check the visa again

6weeks validity, 02/02/16 - 15/03/16

Hello everyone, please I need an urgent advice my brother applied for a UK visa to go write the 2nd stage of an exam in the UK, he wrote the 1st stage here in naija. He got his passport today and was given 6weeks visa, despite applying for a 6month visa
The problem is the 6weeks visa ll expire 2wks b4 his schedule exam date which is march 29th, he was supposed to receive a 6weeks tutorial b4 the exam. Please what can be done to rectify this, he paid fees for tutorial and exam already and he included the prove of payments in his visa application @justwise, @vicjustice @vcole and all the gurus please I need an urgent response. Thanks in advance

So BA says we can't add an infact to mommy's ticket. They say we have to make a fresh booking for the baby. This is completely different from everything I've read here. What are we to do? Please advise

Call their customer care line again, am sure you ll get a different response, at worst you ll buy at the airport on ur departure.

nefertitiram:
Guess am not just lucky. Something that didnt even work, giving me such a hard time like ds *sigh*

Awww..sorry dear

KayLayChi:
Back pain is one of the side effects of epidural, and I hear it gets worse if you carry heavy things like when you carry your baby with your carrier. That was one of the reasons I endured labor pain cos of back pain in future.

I heard same b4 I had my baby and vowed not to use epidural but I had an emergency CS so I had no option , since I had my baby have had no back pain, my baby weighed 8lb 10oz at birth, he is 6months now and weighs 10.5kg and I use a carrier often and carry heavy stuffs , still no Back pain...

chicagobound:
Thanks a lot @ozycy and @fehinebony. I didn't know. My sincere apologies to @neferetitiram. @justwise please how do I send this pm thing cos I even had to google how to send pm on naira land. When I get to ppl's profile it's an email from NL that I can send.

Send the email from N/L, once sent, she will receive it in her email box,if she responds, you will get a N/L msg from her, afterwards exchange of mails can start.thats if the email you registered with is functioning.

chicagobound:
The fact that you'd answer everyone else on the subject I asked about but me is actually funny. I know we were all JJCs at some point; I thought seeking help was allowed. No vex madam.

Btw; anyone who has info on any other pocket friendly hospital apart from mount Sinai in Chicago pls help a sister out. Many thanks

Don't get things twisted dear, Nefertitiram replied you!I saw her response before justwise deleted her post cos it had her email address, try sending her a pm

Enyinne:
Pls can I apply for usa passport without child's Social security number.

Yes you can...just input 0000 where SN is required

@legendsmother needs a bottle of Orijin and Legend extra stout! Lol!

Yes o, BIG bottles...lol

customised87:
I dont share that sentiment though. I flew BA with my baby in March and i was made o pay 200$ for my 3rd 23kg bag which i felt should be baby's luggage. I called BA severally before my travel date and i was told over the phone that my baby is entitled to a 23kg bag,a stroller and a car seat, only for me to get to the airport and they said thats a misinformation. I even asked at BA desk in Heathrow and they said baby ain't entitled to any luggage. The thing pain me ehn,i swore never to fly BA again for misinforming me.

Wow,that's strange, My baby had a 23kg baggage allowance + car seat, stroller & a diaper bag

legendsmother:
@amother4life the total was around $3900 please tell me if it's too low so I can look for another thanks

You researched well o

shrekandfiona:
Jeez

This happened on 2 different flights within yankee

FinanceFitness:
I totally agree with both of you, flew BA last year with my first and the experience was way better than Delta. Delta doesn't even have safety belt for infants. You have to carry your infant on your lap when the fasten belt sign is on....

Very true, flew delta within America with my baby, I asked for an infant seat belt when the fasten belt sign was on, I was told no infant seat belt, I had to extend my seat belt so it could fit us both...

favoredgal:
I think BA is the friendliest when it comes to women with babies with excess luggage. I dint pay an extra dime despite the fact that my two bags were overweight.

Infact the guy asked me to check in my hand luggage for free so all I had was my baby bag

Another friend said the same as well

Seconded!
That's the only reason I keep flying BA..they are very Lenient with over weight bags and always offer to check in hand luggage for free without even weighing it

Congrats @chicagomum,hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...God win

Enyinne:
Pls does anyone knows how to.handle this situation. Am 6days post partum and am feeling empty, lost my appetite and now am having fever.. what can I do now as I don't hv a malaria tablet and I can't buy from pharmacy. Pls any solution to this. Thanks

Sorry dear, I had feverish feeling too some days(a week) after I had my baby, I took Tylenol advance, forced myself to eat and sleep, I felt better 2 days after, I dint even tell my host, cos I know I would have landed in emergency, you can try it too, if u don't feel better, then u need to see a doctor

brokewaist:
I have a B1/B2 Visa that I have used for the purpose I acquired it.

I am 10wks + pregnant, is it too soon for me to send the change of intent email?

If You have used the visa for the purpose you acquired it then it shouldn't be "change" of intent, rather "notification" of intent...

You can send it whenever you feel like, you have enough time

neks31:
Sorry My msg is for the lady, I think she prolly quoted u that's why.. Anyways she knws am talking to her

Ok dear

neks31:
What is my biz with you and ur host!! Just noticing ur name here for d first time last night coz I have a lot on my plate to deal with!! I don't ask people to pm me n couod careless dear!! I had to post my beautiful babygirl so that u can prolly choke on negativity!! D airport I met was small to me n they were constructing,., anyways I won't argue with u maybe that's your first international trip n u were totally sold (sorry not sorry)) u want to bully d wrong person cos I'm not breastfeeding any baby n I have all d time for u n ur bitterness.. Or maybe God sent me to heal u if whatever hardship u r facing, don't worry d economy will be better ok??
Or I should apologize for prolly seeing my very first small international oyibo airport??

Dear, You quoted me in your post, have I directed anything to you?

nefertitiram:
Yup, visa on arrival for 40 bucks, u apply at passport control. And dey don't care if u r a US citizen or not. U pay d $40 or get d fk out of dia face.

Very annoying people. One came to wake me up whr I was slpn and sed I shd relocate sleeping position. See me see local trouble? Was I sleeping on his head?

Na wa for them... Online its $20 for Us citizens and other OECD citizens...my baby was was stamped in without a visa on his blue passport

JDQueen:
Good day great mama's N papa's. My princess arrived on the 28th of October via unplanned Cs due to accelerated BP of over 160/90. Was in labor for about 3days and didn't go pass 5cm despite been induced and water broke on the 27th still didn't go pass 5cm. Cs was finally carried out and baby came at exactly 2.56am on the 28th. Mother and Baby doing great in Elpaso. Going to maryland next week after picking up Baby's Birth certificate.

bliz123:
Please what address do I send d email to and what will the content be. And will I get a response from them. Meanwhile this is our first time travelling to US. Will our intentions be geniue??
U mentioned my intention, that will be at POE abi?.
Explain what burden of proof more..thanks as always

Did she deliberately lie about the pregnancy or she dint know about it as the time of interview?

Lagos or Abuja. Lagos - LagosNIV@state.gov, Abuja - consularabuja@state.gov.
Yes you will get a response from them, it's a generic response, though you "may" be called for an interview
Your intentions will be geniue as long as you're Truthful, it's not illegal to have your baby in the US
When asked at the POE your purpose of visit, simply say the truth
Burden of proof: Docs corespondence, docs appointment, proof you can pay your bills without accepting any us government aid. You can read part2 of the thread for more info.

Austine2020:
Do u mean u can enter Turkey without their visa for just 40usd?

The Visa can be bought online or upon arrival as long as u have a UK, US, Schengen or OECD member's visa

bliz123:
I'm in need of advice.
I got a family tourist visa b1/b2 around September planning to travel by February but alas my wife is confirmed pregnant (I guess was the night of visa celebration)
I don't know what's the way forward especially this POE experience.
Do I now tell them vacation and childbirth (I didn't include childbirth during interview cuz my wife wasn't then)..
I don't want any illegal stuff..
Please advise on the best way forward.
Thanks

If you plan to have your baby in the US
You can send an email to the embassy notifying them of your intent and upon arrival declare ur intentions, make sure u have ur burden of proof.

Turkish Airline...when you don't pay the Price...you ll pay the price..... I flew them in August /September to the uk
The Turkish are not exactly friendly, but they like babies sha (was in Istanbul for a few days ) The airport staffs are very unfriendly, communication is A BIG problem cos they barely understand English, racism is at its peak, getting a trolley was a headache, for every airport assistant we asked , we were turned down over and over again and right before our very eyes they were assisting all the whites that came after us,I dislike the airport, the food on the plane is whack, thou the plane is nice at least it has more leg room than BA(lagos to London route), my baby's car seat got missing( thou it was delivered to me some days after in London ) a lot of people dint get their luggage on arrival, then they r very strict with their baggage allowance, overall it's not worth the stress especially for a preggy
