I hope you visited st. Pauls basilica also. The master piece there is wonderful. Nice pictures. I never get tiref of seeing this places.
I wish Nigerian government will stop pulling down old structures in the name of building new ones. We would things like this to attract visitors.
Enjoy the rest of your trip... forget the money it was worth it

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by HelenaEdwin: 4:56pm On Apr 14, 2018
No. It the second time
uniquema:
Was it your first time to use the visa?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by HelenaEdwin: 3:29pm On Apr 14, 2018
Thanks. We will be renewing it. I will even be more comfortable that way even though she is 4 years old.
Toks06:
I travelled with only 2months left but I didn't find it funny/easy.i was taken into an office n grilled 2 good times for about an hour. My luggages were brought n searched n when nothing incriminating was found,I was given to stay past my visa expiry date.i never made the mistake of staying to the date because I knew it was a trap,so be prepared n ready for anything..I'll advise she goes for renewal
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by HelenaEdwin: 5:51pm On Apr 13, 2018
Ok. Thanks for the information
TheCongo2:
So long as she travels before the visa expiry date there won't be any issue.
The visa expiry date doesn't determine how long you may be allow to stay in the US.
The visa exiry date only determines when can you present yourself at the POE.

The expiry date of the visa has nothing to do with the amount of time they will allow you to stay in the US.
The officer at the POE can give you six months stay which can be well beyond the expiry date of the visa.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by HelenaEdwin: 5:23pm On Apr 13, 2018
Thanks.


If its possible renew before going.[/quote]
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by HelenaEdwin: 5:10pm On Apr 13, 2018

TravelRe: U.S Visit: Port Of Entry Interview/stories. by HelenaEdwin: 9:01am On Mar 27, 2017
Please don't give anybody info on your visa page. All the agent needs is your full names, passport number, Destination and date of travelling and return.

you should have ask what he/she needsthat for?

Isewa:
Hello my people. Please i need info concerning my flight to USA. My agent asked me to send him my visa page to book ticket for me on Ethiopia airline. Do i really need info on my visa page. I think all the info i need is on the data page. Thanks
HealthRe: My Experience And My Stand With Other People View On Dr. Oji Alllwell (suicider) by HelenaEdwin: 12:28pm On Mar 24, 2017
Caseless:
the family couldn't stand by him cos when the issue is coming from a rich man , he's always right. And besides, there was a video evidence.
Some families needs rehab more than individuals. My family knows what i can do and what i can not do. Because the man is rich does not mean they should believe him more.

When the story is finally out that he did not do it, (I know it will) what face will they use to tell him sorry?

I bet all they will say is "he forced us to believe him" as if he held a gun to their head.
HealthRe: My Experience And My Stand With Other People View On Dr. Oji Alllwell (suicider) by HelenaEdwin: 12:13pm On Mar 24, 2017
Sorry about your Experience. Life sometimes is really bitter. Not withstanding, I believe you and i want to assure you some people here also believe in you. The society we grew up made us not to speak out and we kind of takes things that way. Suicide is not always the option but people are often push to the wall. The people around you were never your friends and sadly for your family that should stand by you to reject you, i guess that is the most painful part.

When the issue of Tiwa's Husband wanting to committe suicide came along, i remeber discussing with a firend saying for him to wantt to do that, there is something fishy under. fortunately he did not and as usual we all abuse him silly.

you did mention a rehab. you can if you set your mind to it because you will be serving someone like you. Know that you are not alone. You have friend in me.

[/color]
lifeexperience:
Don't wanna reveal my real identity here because I am well known here. So have to use a fresh account.


From that point I knew this life is of two phases. A once happy man now became the saddest man on earth. At some point I ran into cars on motion but accidents are always averted, bought Rat killer and some poison on three occasions but anytime I wanna take my life, one spirit come and says stand and defend yourself one day you must surely triumph and the world will believe you and another mind will say no need because that time will never come. But I am very happy today that I was able to mend my life through that phase. Though I still pass through depression sometime but I am being able to manage my life and open up my own business to be a boss of my own because of the stigma it brought to me. I am doing very well in my business (small company) today and don't even have any single friend because I fill their is no need for that when I couldn't even get one by my side during the bad times. Same goes to girls because I see them as Lucifer (sorry to use this word) and don't think that mindset will ever make me to marry. To my family they said I should come for forgiveness which I did on what I never committed (Oh Lord). Today I am living a lonely life all alone with no friends, don't mingle with neighbours, hardly communicate with families and some point even I doubt if God exist because he saw me pass through what I knew nothing about and just kept mute up till this day. The only friend I had and still have is the web and internet which I fall to anytime I feel like.

But sometime life isn't what you see on someone physically. If you have suffered depression and have been in some situation people go through in life you will never judge people for somethings they do or what they pass through. Who will be thinking of wealth when you are be confronted with false accusation and passing through depression. If it was pushed further I would have served a jail term for what I don't know. Probably still inside jail by now.

Your prayer should be one day you should never experience depression. Though I don't support suicide and will never support it. [color=#006600]If I have my way I will open up a rehab or something where people can go have time when they are depressed or lonely. Set it up like form of vacation ground where you meet with nice people who will be employed to treat you nice and make you feel people still love you despite if the rest of the world hate you. Life isn't all about the roses but about how you can manage the bad time when it hits you.

Sorry for the long writing and grammatical blunders.

seyewest:
You should calculate those foreign site with N510 not N315 tell me which one is high or low.
They are not even using the 510 as you said because an airline likr lufthansa is 2780 dollars i.e for 2 which 510 will 1.417.800 so for 1 erson it should be seven hundred and smthing. What i am seeing is 1.9m smthing for 2. Question is what exchange rate are the using?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by HelenaEdwin: 5:11pm On Feb 20, 2017
seyewest:
Skyscanner will take you to the airline site except you choose to use an agent site which means you must pay with a dollar enable card... Try Travelstart or wakanow because it will be easier for you to use Nigeria local card for instant payment.
Travelstart is so high and wakanow is even the worst
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by HelenaEdwin: 2:39pm On Feb 20, 2017
