Ricky Rozay: I think you will have to deposit the money into the airlines Bank account or so... Wait for Bigfrancis, he will explain further to you because he has used Flyemirate and he has even paid since 3 months ago.... So he knows much about how their payment process goes....

Ricky Rozay: Wow!!!!! This is veryy cheap oooo. By d way what date did you get?

Ricky Rozay: Someone got me their booking staff phone number in V.I. So I called the woman on phone and she got me 16th of August two days ago. Which is on Wednessday.

It took her time before she got the date for me.. because I called her every 30 minutes like about 10 times and she was busy working on it with her system checking for seat for me because seats were already filled up... Then she finnaly got a seat for me for the 16th of August for #199,000.

Ms Nas: Why don't you chill a bit before you book? When I went to get my tickets, the guys actually told me that the high prices will drop by August Ending. My opinion sha

Additionally, I just checked Emirates' site and I got a price of 209,000NGN for a flight to JFK on the 31st of August and 176,000NGN for a September 1st Flight. See the price drop?

Ricky Rozay: I got the Royal air yesterday for #199,000 for the 16th of August

worry 359: YOU could have looked this up yourself on Google!!!!

US Food Restrictions

When entering the United States from Mexico or Canada, travelers may bring bakery items and some types of cheese across the border without worrying about being inspected. Other items that are generally accepted include packaged coffee, tea, condiments and spices, among others. Refrain from bringing rice across the border; according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's border patrol website, rice can harbor unwanted insects. Other banned items include meat products; some exceptions do apply. In many cases, you cannot bring foreign fruits and vegetables.

Ricky Rozay: When is your School resuming? Hope u can still meet up.. Why not go with Royal air Maroc.. I think dey are the cheapest u can get for now.. They fly to Morrocco first and then to JFK NewYork...

And you don't need any transit visa when you get to Morrocco.

I got 16th of August yesterday for Royal Air maroc. But didn't bother booking anymore because I got other plans....

webstradamus: You shouldn't need a transit visa but I would confirm from the airline. I once flew BA from Abuja - New York via London Heathrow and didn't require a transit visa.

Mystiqme: Getting a relatively cheap flight taking off two weeks from now is a little difficult, and you might have to make the sacrifice of prolonged layovers in order to get cheaper prices.
I found this though.......

kpolli: Depends on ur school requirements

Ms Nas: Flynbrd....
Babes, did you make a copy of your passport? If so, please take it there. That was what I used for mine (that was exactly what they asked for)
As for getting to the DHL office. Get a bus to Oshodi..and alight anywhere at Oshodi. Get another bus going to mile 2 and tell the conductor you're going to Toyota Bustop. Immediately they drop you, the DHL office is directly beside you (to your left). Just cross the service lane and walk 50metres or so to their gate.

Ms Nas: Flynbird dearie, its not a must you receive a text message. I received an email just like yours the day after my interview and I picked up my passport the day after that. Up till date, I haven't gotten any sms (I filled a valid mobile number btw). So, if you got a mail indicating that your passport is ready, then indeed it ready. Go pick it up

Ms Nas: Bros ooh. They've stopped using Billings Way o. Now its Oshodi or Lekki. They've even removed Billings from their site. I had to log in, change the address and reprint my confirmation page as the first one read Billings Way.

Ricky Rozay: @Flynbird, you can call GSS Document collection centre at this No - 094601748.

Call them and confirm if your passport is ready for pick up..

Ms Nas might be right, it might be ready and some peeps case can be different, so u might not receive a text message from them.

Call them first or you can go to their office at DHL House, New airport road junction, apapa Oshodi Express Way, Isolo Lagos....

imperiouxx: Ehn! It's because I read your mind.

Ricky Rozay: Then I must say your Visa is not yet ready... I did my interview on Monday 22nd of July and I received a text message on my phone and an email too at the same time on the 24th of July, Wednessday evening.. So I went to pick up my Visa on the 25th of July, Thursday..

So I think you should be a little patient so you don't go for nothing and waste transport fare...

Just count 3 working days from the day of your interview, then you can head straight to the DHL location I provided above and pick up your Visa...

You might even receive a text message b4 then self... But I hope you filled in a VALID phone number....

imperiouxx: I'm sure your "G" would have started missing you already...... heya! I feel for him

Cuddle him amorously before leaving Nigeria oo https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/love/love0040.gif

At least that will keep the good memories ringing in his head.

imperiouxx: My flynbird don start again oooo.

You filled Ikeja, then you go to billing in Ikeja, Oregun side. If your resumption is fast approaching you can be called quicker than someone whose resumption is still like a month from when the visa was approved. So, individual case is different.

Ricky Rozay: If you received a text message on your phone as well from Visa Services which states; "Document ready for pick up"

Then I wil say your passport is ready.. Did you receive a text message on your mobile phone?


Because Passports are being processed in 3 working days after the day of your interview.

I received the same email with you as well and I also received a text message as well too.

I chose ikeja as my pick up location but you will have to go to their New location for pick up..

They don't use the ikeja location anymore..

So you will need to go to DHL office at Oshodi apapa Isolo, New airport road.. Lagos...

That's where I picked up my Visa..

Ms Nas: Congrats dearie! Cheers to you, cos u overcame.
I didn't know people pay those MoPol money to hold their phones o, they kept my two phones and I even went back there to drop my bag.....one shishi wasn't collected from me. All the same, CONGRATULATIONSSS!!!!

OjaP: Cograts Flyinbird....Welcome to the land of the brave.

I have a question for you. What is the meaning of flying bird in Yoruba?

Amefrica: Congratulations flyinbird.. So u stay near Iwo road ? Likewise me I stay in Akobo #50 to Iwo road. I'd just av cross u and collect it b4 u go to ajah. I tried to contact u on the TOEFL CD bt to no avail...

imperiouxx: Much https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/love/love0031.gif flynbird.

Enjoy your studies and please, don't slap that cousin of yours when ever you see him in US.

misstoyo: +13144251809 call DHS. I had to call them when they didnt upload my receipt

Edman2012: @flynbird..

Please dont cancell your appointment because your sevis receipt is not available online yet. Go to the embassy and do your interview and explain to the VO that u have paid but still unable to print out your receipt online. If your visa is approve that day, they will ask u to go and come back with your sevis receipt and intl passport. They will give u letter that allow u come back to embassy at any time soon. Dont be let down by the sevis receipt, go for interview and get da visa.
