Hello Nairalanders,
How are you guys doing today, Does anyone know how long it takes to get baby passport and documents in Tennessee.

Thanks

firsttymum:
there's no problem about buying in the U.S. but it's more expensive dasall.. Different mamas have fallen victim and learned their lessons. besides not everyone have relatives in lagos who can help them purchase a cheaper one , so dey have no option that to use d US

Not true, I got a quote from Delta in May for $85 for my daughter which I was to pay at the airport.

I had to change my travel date and ended up paying $191 about a month later. I found out the $85 initially quoted was for one way because the person I spoke to assumed my daughter had a naija passport. I eventually bought the return ticket because I found out they won't sell one way to naija with a naija visa in a US passport (same way you can't buy one way to the US with your B1/B2 visa). When I got home, I applied for a refund for the unused leg of the trip and I got $85 almost 2 months later.
My thinking is the diffeence that it could can be tax. One delta agent also explained that it its better to add d ticket earlier immediate after birth it's cheaper

Hello my people,

I am safely back in Naija oh. Operation birth is complete for me, thank God it ended in praise.

Just 3 important tips for first time mums coming back with their infants:

1) Thou should not buy thy infant ticket with American office of thy airline, or thou shall pay $400+ for a one way ticket. Buy thy infant ticket from the naija branch and get someone to pay them in naira for u.

2) Purchase an Infantino baby carrier coz thou shall need it @ the airport, for thy stroller and car seat shall be taken from thee and checked in all the way to naija. So if u don't wanna carry ur baby for hand thru layovers and security, buy one! Or thy hand shall break from carrying baby.

3) Thou should arrive at ur departure airport 3 hours ahead of time to make sure thou gets preference for bassinet. Very important. Also that thous shall not be running to thy gate with yelling baby in thy arms. For thou shall apear like a mad person.

That's it folks! Till next pikin is conceived, thanks for everyone's contribution and for the laugh thru my final weeks of pregnancy oh. Love all of una.


Him shawbabe. Which infantino baby carrier did u get.
Which passport did your baby used to travel. Thank you

Lmao. Don't mind me oh....me wey don born finish. My pikin go soon dey do introduction sef. I just wanted to upset una with the same damn question for Houston that has been thrashed up and down lol

Shawbabe:
Lol relax! U are too stressed. Letter and correspondence from Dr doesn't guarantee entry. I traveled with no letter or choice of Dr sef. And only 40 dollars in my bag becoz hubby had wired all the money to his Bank of America acct. I just had his Atm cards. And I told the border agent that I have a Dr and hospital in mind and will decide when I visit both. He said ok and stamped me in. I made up my mind when I was settled in Atl. It's all about confidence and how u answer their questions abeg. I no carry any burden of proof oh.

Atl obgyns will not give u an appointment till they get ur records. So u can send it to them if u want appointment but they won't send u any letter or correspondence.

shelly23:
It depends on your travel date and class of ticket you have. I don't know that there's a trick to it. They calculate a percentage (10% I think) of the cost of a return ticket for the adult.
If your baby doesn't have a naija passport, you have to book a return ticket. They won't let you buy a one way ticket with a naija tourist visa in the US passport. When you get to naija, you can process a refund for the return leg.

queenestty:
Morning my people.

Pls I contacted ob/gyn office and was ask to fax my antinantal report to them, ask for e-mail, they told me they don't do e-mail, they do fax.

My question now is, where on earth can I see where to fax in Abuja.

Pls someome help me. Thks


You can try christal palace at area 11 port harcourt crescent

FinanceFitness:
I think it's possible. A friend left Atlanta with just Nigerian passport and had them mail the American one to her relative who later sent it to her.

I've also read that it's not okay for an American citizen to leave the U.S. without their American passport.

A bit of research should therefore be done on the legality of this option.

Shawbabe:
I don't think u can even process naija passport for am without BC as well. Check tho

Amother4life:
A United States citizen must always depart and reenter the country on a US passport.

iolite88:
My dear her baby is about 6wks now still no show on the birth certificate she is on lock down can't do anything till she gets the BC she us tired sef.

Shawbabe:
Just a word of wisdom here:

For all ofbu getting Nigerian visas for ur babies, take out time to do the maths.

Visa fee is $180 + $30 processing fee
Passport is $77 + $30 processing fee

It is cheaper and wiser to get the naija passport and also save urself the hassle of gettingnand paying for it when u decide to get it in Nigeria.

iolite88:
Apperently you are correct, I have a friend who is currently in the same situation she has been waiting for her son's BC and she was told they don't expedite and it will take 30 - 5days. Tennesse Mum's take note when you are planning oh

Shawbabe:
The BC is ready at the Vital records office on Skyland Drive already. But u need to get confirmation of birth in paper from the hospital b4 u go to the vital records for BC. 1st copy is $25 and $5 for each extra copy.

As for Pastor? We used Pastor Adeboye

I kid lol. I guess u mean passport? Once uget the BC call the passport agency number (google it) and book an appointment. U don't necessarily have to come at the exact time u select on the automated machine as long u are there early. Then depending on ur travel plans, u show ur flight itinerary to the lady then she can select an expedited service for u for $165. They ask u to come collect in 2 days. So if u apply on Monday, it's ready on Wednesday for pickup.

I didn't get naija visa, we got a naija passport as well. Now the story for that one is for another day becoz the payment process is tasking but all things being equal, it should take 2 days for naija passport as well.

Shawbabe:
Hello everyone,

How is everyone doing? Stopped by to say ha fa

To add to what has been said, focus more on shipping diapers, wipes and clothes 3 months and above. I use my car seat and stroller oh here in abuja. Especially when I go gocery shopping at a supermarket. Or in my neighbourhood.

As for baby sleeping on our bed, I refused that one from the very start. Becoz na like that e dey start dem no go gree sleep alone later. U no go even fit romance ya spouse, mba oh. Moved my baby to crib sharply. If they cry, let them. They'll learb to sleep alone and comfort themselves back to sleep. Lol I know it's harrrd.
The crib I checked in in Atlanta and tagged FRAGILE, those useless airline people destroyed it when I saw it in Abuja. So we had to buy another one in Naija and claimed compensation from the airline. Yeye people.

For baby food, I found Gerber gentle start powder formula wasn't breaking down well with my baby. So check what works for baby b4 shipping stuff back. Or u'll be stuck with what u won't use.
