Hi adventurous mothers, ave followed and loved reading all your adventures abroad with your lovely bumps. My babysis is about to do this as she's finally preggy after few years of wait. She has filled her form and scheduled an appointment guided by me. Here is a bit of her profile, married, just passed out this last batch but her hubby can foot the bills well.
Q1) does her not working have a bad vibe on her interview.

I will answer the simple one lol... I don't think so there's nothing wrong with being a house wife as long as her husband can foot the bills
If only she applied while she was still serving NYSC is a strong tie

uptown17:
na wa oo.... you people can be nicer na.. have you forgotten we are in this same naija where some of us us barely close eyes cos we have to work like labourer

If u asked for one hospital that's fine, u keep coming with different questions, like u kept someone here to b constantly answering you.

Wait u think we r also so jobless to be answering all ur questions?
Abeg read up and avoid story for the gods

I dropped the pages but I changed my mind.
I'm not the only one on the thread so I'm just gonna ignore lets hope and pray someone replies. Good luck

Raineybaby:
This shortage is real o. It has even affected Atlanta. http://nigeria-consulate-atl.org/?p=4869

For those planning to apply for 32 page passport in Atlanta, find out if they now have.

We know there's a shortage, but the ones available are hoarded, so people pay more than necessary for it. But that's in naija...

coffeeblue:
Please can anybody help me with the email address of the US embassy that i need to send an email to. I need to inform them about my plans on giving birth in the US. Also can you just give me an idea of what to include in the body of the mail. Thank you so much.

nefertitiram:
Maybe she flew emirates or arik first class..

she specifically said via UA

FinanceFitness:
Yes, you can try applying alone, since your kids will be your social tie to Nigeria - but it all depends.

Maybe you should share your past experience - why were you rejected before?

I really feel for her... And I hope she gets it right this time
She has been rejected twice to d US, once to the UK AND FRANCE respectively
Major reason was strong ties and den a large some into her account without an explanation.
Plus agent has chopped her money before.

This time around she must b fully prepared... As in completely prepared

cc @firsttymum....

Hahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha

chenonye:
I know I &hubby came back last from houston via UA wt 4bags of 50kg each else dey ve changed buh going from Lag was a total of 46kg

It's not possible ? 50 kg? I'm sure it's 50 lbs ask your hubby again,... It's 50 lbs not kg

50lbs (pounds) is equivalent to 23kg

FinanceFitness:
Correct, I used this method to pay my hospital bills last year at even cheaper than card/PTA rates. But I think there was a circular from the CBN on it earlier this year or late last year reviewing the eligible transactions and I think medical was taken out - not very sure now. Also, with most of these hospitals not accepting payments before you show up, not sure how it will work - except if someone processes it after you've landed here.

The other advantage is that you can do this and still apply for PTA - I did this last year.

Would be great to find out if medical bills are still eligible though.

Yes they have o, medical is included

@shawlar according to United in short international airlines

(Except you are flying internationally through naija )

There's no weight limitation to your carry on luggage

shawlar:
@dyout: @shimk is right, its two bags of 23kg each. They also weigh your hand luggage in MMA II; I think thats like 15kg max

And they even measure ur hand luggage sometimes...
Chai those people can frustrate people en

olokings:
Wow. ..firsttymum u serious with this ooh. ...lol

yes o! Lol

titila:
@ Shrekandfiona, thank you for the response. The thing is I didn't come along with my early scans results. I jst came with the hosp report showing my edd. The edd the hosp used too is -3 weeks (31 weeks). I wonder why they used that after measuring with hand nd tape saying it's 34 weeks.

Ok let me attempt to explain
EDD is expected date of delivery not definitive day of delivery, some say estimated date of delivery
From weeks 10-26 the crown rump length or CRL can be used to determine fetal age. The most accurate time to use ultrasound as a dating device to scan the gestational age and delivery date is either between 7 and 10 weeks of pregnancy or 12 and 18 weeks.
After 26 weeks using scan to date pregnancy is not so accurate anymore ( that's why the dr wasn't so keen)
Scans after 26weeks is majorly for the lie of the baby, the presenting part and the position of the placenta... And in some cases to determine the sex.
Here in Nigeria according to practice using tape after 36 weeks ( some earlier) is pointless it's going to give you a reduced date(measurement).
Now the tape measurement is reported as "the EDD IS BLA BLA CM PLUS OR MINUS 2 weeks

You can calculate ur EDD YOURSELF
Add 7 days to the first day of the last normal period and count back 3 months

That's why the usual saying "the earliest scan done is the most accurate"

olokings:
Oooh my!
Here I was thinking you were kidding arnd.
Hahahaha. ...lol

Joking ke? At all o.... It's my new default reply

chenonye:
Firstmum thanks. I pm'd u yesterday but got no response..so am I advised to show L.A correspondence wn asked 4 Dr's contact..wt do I ve 2show 4reservatn or shd I book anodr reservatn for L.A..
Pls can smone answer if ve got to ve any I.D 4baby to fly back to houston after birth

Tks

why do u wanna fly back to Houston after birth? Can't u process everything about the baby in LA?
Pls elaborate on this back and forth houston /la movement
On a second thought (though not compulsory) u can write to the embassy that you have changed your mind about birthing in Houston and now u wanna use LA (just becos the cbp guys in Houston are strict) or else it's unnecessary...
If it's la u r using then Drs correspondence and accommodation shld most definitely b in LA na... How u wan dey go LA come dey show dem accommodation for Houston.
If it's HOUSTON u r birthing everything shld be Houston (accommodation + Drs correspondence)
If it's LA same thing.

This ur question get as e b.
Sorry for not replying ur email, the nairaland emails are plenty jare, and I'm too lazy for individual replying and shii... I wish I can merge the emails together and reply the usual "hi or hello" at once... Lol

chenonye:
Hello mums,
I have 2correspondences from houston& L.A buh finally settled for L.A cos I had a baby in houston early last year.

My visa last year was goin 2Houston likewise my mum dt wl be travellin wt us.got her visa in june.

Houston is my POE..shd I tell dem am having my baby in houston dn from dr port 2 L.A or dt I decided goin 2 L.A.my fear is wl it affect future travels dt I lied &went smwr else

Secondly, wn I ve my baby in L.A, can I travel back to houston wt baby wtout any I.D 4baby..

Thanks

Did u get ur visa after u put to bed? If no, then u are fine.. Since you stayed in houston already

Any individual can change her mind about their final destination. It's your right
There's no point lying at the Poe, Just tell them the truth as to why to changed ur mind from Houston to LA
