Happy Sunday 2 u all. I read someone saying that by 34weeks n 1 day, airlines calculate that as 35wks. Meaning if someone is 35wks as @ d time of ur trip,is calculated as 36wks. How true pls??

reniduke:
4. Then I got sent to secondary check where i was getting nervous for nothing. Officer said he just wanted to tell me I had done well by notifying the embassy in Naija and then he calls two of his colleagues to read the email the embassy sent them about me, then he starts to gist me about two other women who lied about pregnancies and how they were denied entry. I make all the right, "ehn ehn", "oh my" sounds and he says i should keep it up, honesty and all and ensure my hospital gives me a clear bill before i leave. He Asked how much i had but did not ask to see any proof even when i told him i don't have cash only card (must be my angelic face).
4. NO agric visit, the end!!!

Thanks Nairalanders in this forum!!!

chichi93:
Good day house, please I will like to ask if it is wrong to use a government or public hospital in the US. Some one told me that your visa will not be renewed or you will be banned. Please is this true[b] if you wld be paying all the normal self pay fees and no Medicaid or assistance?[/b] Also please has anybody in the house successfully renewed a visa or experienced issues renewing a visa after using a public hospital?

shawlar:
Congratulations @freshdad
Your wife's "The one in my stomach" and posing 'with novel we she no dey read' really got me laughing hard....

Your point about criticizing people who don't declare is well taken. As evidenced by your wifes case, it also seems quite a few CBP officials are also confused about how to process people that declare their intention to birth. If a CBP officer does not know/has to seek clarification, then I guess we could overlook a visa applicant's ignorance.. but at the same time, knowledge is power. Researching and learning all you can about whatever endeavour u intend to embark upon leads to less mistakes in execution

Colouredgirl:
It doesn't matter..I was going to Chicago and I entered thru houston

Shawbabe:
I'm actually mad I took the pains to answer your email to have you ask THE EXACT SAME question here. So why the pm?

Ramj:
SUre she can just explain at POE if asked why the change and also she must fill the information on the i-90 form.
Whatever hospital she must have correspondence from them to show too

favouredmum:
Good day House,

I just checked aboki fx and can see dollar is dropping seriously. Looks like a dream.

I can see buy at N380 and sell at N390.

I really wonder how this is happening but its really a welcomed development and I pray it continues to fall like this.

seyewest:
The most important thing to know about your visa is the visa category.. I believe the visa you applied for is B1/B2 which means you can visit U.S for tourism,visiting and sometimes conference. I see no big deal in shelving your plans but you must have a good reason for doing that.

if I'm right your plan is to land in JFK and fly to your actual destination which is not a bad idea but[b] you must have your ticket confirmed to your onward destination in U.S before you leave Nigeria which simply means buy your ticket for your inward travel in U.S before leaving naija they will ask for it.[/b]
You must get a letter of consent from your little cousin dad and mom before traveling with her and they must be available to receive phone call in case they called them not just in U.S but your connecting country... if possible hold a copy of the parent ID card,little cousin birth certificate and letter of consent from the parent.
If you have a good reason for not going to Texas then say it... I'm sure that shouldn't be a reason for them to return you.

ODBae:
The consulate's exchange rate of 340naira to 1dollar should suffice. As that is the exchange rate used to calculate the Visa fee. Not the CBN rate. I should think so. Correct me if I am wrong.

Oloye12345:
Congrats dear.

NOTE that people here are not VOs, Airline reps, CBP or anything related. Everyone is just sharing based on their personal experiences and those of friends/relatives (true or untrue). Most importantly, it's good to try your luck regardless. Go after what you want - no matter how difficult they might seem to others, your case is different.

People have used BI/B2 visas for childbirths and were able to renew successful many times. In whatever case, notify the embassy of change of intention, be prepared for POE interviews, don't lie for any reason to the immigration officials and get your documents ready (including receipts).

I had an interesting encounter in Chicago few weeks ago at POE, I will share latter

Ire oo!

Janet101:
@Mrs sugar,congratulations u met Mrs grace on duty am happy for u

muyiwaojo1:
Please ooo, stanbic just told us they have stopped selling pta. They say they stopped selling since Friday. Please, Is this a general THING?

oyin3:
@ modath, probably branches I went to, I would check inside "potmanto" at this rate. Gracias!
@ freshdad, sent you a mail, I think (not sure I got the pm thingy right), travel date is less than 14days sef

oyin3:
Yes, Lagos o. Any help please?

titileps:
I think it's the branches you went to that do not have dollars. I don't think it's about the bank. I know someone who got PTA today from sterling bank. I enquired of PTA from GTB here in PH and was told only 2 branches in PH handles it. I think it's wrong for you to be turned back saying no PTA. CBN gave guidelines and that all request be treated within 24hrs. I will advise you check another big branch to tender your request.

oyin3:
I have been to 4 banks in all today(Gbt, Skye),
No Pta, is this a new development? Anyone got pta recently, and where?

nefertitiram:
The poster above...

Every mallam to his kettle. If being truthful doesn't work for you no problem.

The actual fact is this is an online public forum, and even though naija get their ways, it is saddening that posts like your is rubbing the mud further in our faces and confirming to anyone out there that Nigerians are deceptive by nature. Which isn't so! You are also encouraging others to cut corners which can land them in deeper trouble and you won't be there to bail them out when the shit hits the fan.

Accepted our ancestors were exported in crates, isn't it odd that till date, we are still exporting ourselves to US...

Have you also wondered why the US allows visitors have their babies (as long as you pay your bills) and I hope you know by giving birth in the US we are mortgaging the future of our children except they renounce their citizenship. I know most of us are aware of the future implication of what we are doing.

chibertha:
Yes I advice you do (it makes the process one step faster) but don't pay online if you like.go there with the money.
I usually fill out forms and pay the official then go to the office with the extra which we know is file carrying" with this procedure you will do biometrics before noon.
I promise you if you get there very early biometrics will be next morning this in Port Harcourt though .
This from experience.

Shawbabe:
Abeg I need this too

zitaspears:
I don reach oo. I dey houston

Omosubo:
I am going to chicago, what information do you need

zitaspears:
Hello pls I really need your kind advice.
Please which of this hospital do u advise if use , I am really confused please

freshdad:
Please someone asked a question some pages back and I dont think I saw a response.

Regarding the subsidized hospitals, I hope the JH stroger in chicago is not one of those hospitals that are for low income earners so that one doesnt get into future visa issues. I have not read anything on their site that states that by I would like to know if it is safe. thanks.

@Twoods @Iomwe @nefertitiram and any other boss(es) with knowledge of these matters

nefertitiram:
Izzalie! TWoods Na you be this


Well my response to the OP is you lied! It will come back and haunt you in March 2019, even if you scale through POE.

JFK is no longer that happy go savvy POE , they are vexing right how

BVNO:
Good Morning All.

Please how many weeks old can one fly with a new born baby.


Please I need it urgently.

Thank you.

MsDenise:
I'm not looking to engage you and it's not necessary to be overly patronizing. To be honest, I find your posts on 'discounts' very enlightening.
However, by the tone of her post, she was merely seeking clarification and made a valid point regarding some docs who give discounts knowing full well that the patient is not American.

The last comment about her kids moving to USA and paying for discounted bills left over by other nationals (in not so many words) was a bit personal and unnecessary.
