Good morning all, please an anyone here help with a good contact for transcript at ibadan polytechnic? Thanks in advance.

Even though I was able to schedule mine, it was not requested for when I got there for pick up. Just go there since you have received the pick up mail.
If you are still in doubt, call their customer service number on Google.

Please, does anyone have a contact person in Dhl Hafsat Plaza in Abuja. I’m experiencing a bit of an issue. They messaged that my passport is ready for pickup but I go to the dhl link and it’s showing that my record was not found.
Please and please help me because I have waited this long to get my passport only for this. I need the passport asap as I want to urgently submit it for Canada processing.
If you have a contact person that can help me schedule appointment for pickup, I’ll be grateful.

Good day everyone, please i would like to find out if payment for avisa on arrival can be done with cash or strictly card.
Thank you

Wow! What an experience you had. I came into Chicago few weeks back but not through O’hare because of this same reason. My host had warned me of how hard it is getting in for birth reasons.
Please o intending travellers should avoid that POE. God help us in this country.




quote author=Brandagencies post=68130165]Hello everyone, I am in Chicago now and I MUST give back. It was a horrible experience but I got in.
I took the BA flight and arrived Chicago for 11;30.
CBP- good morning how are u and why are u here?
Me: good morning , vacation and to birth my baby.
CBP: Stands up to meet another officer, comes aback and says this way ma( secondary things☹️)
After sitting a while a middle aged woman calls me
CBP 2: madam, can I have confirmation that the hospital has accepted to treat u?
Me: stroger doesn’t give correspondence but here is the medical number opened for me it has my dates and my first appointment
CBP: that is not my job. What u have her is crap.
Me: Crap ke? Call first na!!( this point, I was already tired from the long journey)
CBP2: how much do u have
Me: 6900 in cash and 7000 In my wells card
CBP2: Go sit down, I’ll call u later.
Approximately 15mins after, she calls me in with a superior.
CBP: madam, these information u provided are not valid , we are sending u home.
Me: Home? Why? I can pay for these things( I begin analyse bla bla)
CBP: let me have ur phone and it’s password, please sit down.
Another 30mins after
CBP: you read nairaland?
Me: Yes
CBP: that nairaland devices u all, u should ask the us govt ur questions not a bunch of guessers
Me: I did contact the govt on a change of intent.
CBP: well, ure only allowed to birth here if Baby is high risk and ur doctor in Nigeria confirms it and u have an acceptance from a doctor here. You Nigerians just disgust me, coming here to quote what laws u don’t make. You are a burden to our govt. you just want to show off that ur baby has a passport:
Me: trying to defend myself
CBP: shut Up.
At this time, they had gone through all my phone emails and WhatsApp messages. Nothing to mail me with.
She comes back to ask for my contacts number and proceeds to call her. Requesting that my host sends me back because 6400 is not a reasonable fee to pay and I cannot afford it. My host insists that was the self pay package and she would use her insurance to cover if there are emergencies.
Me: very worried, already seeing them process travel docs for other pregnant women who have been turned back,some since yesterday. I had already started crying.
CBP : so madam, u will be going back home let me get approval from my superior.
10 mins later, please go get ur bags we need to check.
Me: with my big belle I run go carry luggage( I had just a cabin size box and a well wrapped ghana must go
CBP: all these clothes are too much ( biko which clothes)
Senior CBP patapata: madam, when was ur visa issued
Me: 2016
SCBP: it wasn’t given to birth
Me: yes, it was for a conference which I attended and I was not pregnant and then.
SCBP: ok ma, I will allow u into the USA but please show receipts on ur way out( she had a passport to junior CBP
Junior CBP: collects my passport and arrogantly stamps me in for 10weeks. Saying if I present a receipt less than 20k dollars on my way out, no visa will be resissued
Me: thank u ma.
CBP: Now very Angry, don’t thank me, looking at u disgusts me, just leave my sight before I puke.
Me: quickly carries my bag.
Moral :
1. It is now illegal to birth in USA if the birth can be handled in Nigeria( they showed me proof of that o)
2. Abort mission if ure using H Stroger.
3. Make sure u tell everyone u chat with that ure coming back
4. Hold cash of all the money u need.
5. Stay far from Ohare.

This is where I drop my pen.[/quote]

I am very sorry if i hurt you with my questions. I just wanted to be sure.
Thank you for taking out time to respond to me.

Cheers

Lol.. do what works for you Sis as regards choice of hospital. I asked all the relevant persons at Billing and was assured it is a complete self pay package before commencing. Also people on this thread have used it and renewed thier B2 visa so I don't think it's an issue but again, go with what you are convinced of.

For accommodation, I advice you use Air BnB. All the best.

Thank you for your response.
I am actually staying in Michigan with family now, So I just need accommodation for about a week/+half around my edd period and go back to my base. So its not really going to be a long time stay. I don’t really have a budget though, but if cos i dont mind a bargain .
Please someone said that hospital (JH Stroger)is a no no for me because its a govt-funded one, so using it will knock out my chance of renewing my visa! I don’t know how true this is. Can you please clear the air on that as well?

Thank you so so much.

Mamatukwas:
As stated I used JH Stroger. They assign you a doctor when you come on as a patient so there's no personalized correspondence for this hospital.

Bill for vaginal- 2nights is just under $7,000k and C.S- 4 nights is $10,000 approx all for a package deal you pay for before you are discharged or at any point during your prenatal.

As for accommodation I used Air BnB and it wasn't really cheap coz I wanted to be in the middle of all the action. The advantage was that I spent very little on transportation but that's me sha. What is your monthly budget? For accommodation? It will help guide you.

Regards.

Awww. Lovely story. Congratulations to you. I arrived chicago about a week ago and i am still searching for a hospital/doc. Can you pls help with the ones you used? Their prices as well? Even d accommodation sef i dont mind please.
I am not a lazy person when it comes to reading the posts here o but i must confess i am really tired of searching so i need fast help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Fam! Feedback Time!!

So I've finally finished with my Chicago waka. I choose Chicago because I was amongst the last people that signed the old contract (literally 10 days before the change) and I have fallen in love with the City. It reminds me a lot of london (one of my fave places)

I got in late February, plan was to stay alone but later had to bring my Mum and 2 kids. This meant I had to change Air BnB locations because my host was uncomfortable with kids at her location and made it clear. The lessons from here are: - With Air BnB always try to communicate via the App. Air BnB mgt will look over your conversation in trying to take a decision during a dispute - Take pictures of anything You can use as evidence later esp if it's not as stated in the description -It is better in the event of issues to change your check out date NOT to cancel booking. If you have a booking over 1 month and cancel, you looose all your money. Changing the check out date sef has to be with the agreement of your host - Air BnB rules heavily favor the Host not guest.

I was luck to get a far better place smack in the middle of town on short notice and didn't loose money from the original booking but that's coz Oluwa was/is heavily involved. Moving on:

I gave birth on a Saturday after starting induction on a Friday and was discharged on Monday. According to their calculations that was 3 nights. They start counting from the day You come in not the day you give birth. So was charged for 1 additional night and a few extra doctors visits not in the package.It takes about 3 weeks for payment in JH stroger to reflect on your account so things to note include:

- Try your best to pay well before you deliver. At least 2 weeks before delivery. Your zero balance will reflect faster. Also your baby's account is different from yours so try to collect zero balance for both.

- I planned to leave 2-3 weeks after delivery so to expedite things- fill your bc form in the hospital, tick NO for the section that asks if you want the government to apply for SSN for the baby and ensure that whoever you give the form to knows You have a short time to stay in Chicago and need the info inputed asap. If done well your BC should be ready in 3 days.

- Next up, I headed to the SSN office downtown Chicago and applied for my baby's SSN. It came in exactly 1 week at my apartment. Note that they do not accept BC only as Id for the baby. You must have 2: BC and passport or BC and medical records of baby bearing thier full name. Also check closing time per day before going before you are dissapointed on some days like I was.

- I had booked appointment for my husband ahead of delivery at the embassy after proper edd calculation. He went, sent me the docs which I received via FedEx after 4 days then went to the downtown office to apply for expedited. Proof that you are leaving in 2 weeks is very key for the expedited to work.

- Finally, after giving the hospital 2weeks grace period I started calling for my zero balance. After 3 days and with the help of some saints here, I finally was informed that my bill had been adjusted and my balance was xx dollars. The billing manager told me if I paid cash in full of my outstanding balance I would get zero bal same day which I did. Went back next day and got for my baby. Shikena.

Left on the 6th of April, 3 weeks approx after delivery. Part 2 of the drama started as I missed my flight both in O'hare and at Heathrow to my final U.K. Destination. Both was because BA felt we came late and were too many in our party to make the flight (5persons), plus issues they had on their end tying our tickets together. So pls if traveling with kids MAKE SURE you genuinely get to the airport in PLENTY time. A lot of things can go wrong. We had no issues from CBP folks and got home in 1 piece.

Special thank you to @ramj @mrsramj @msadesina and others on this platform who were really helpful throughout the journey. I am finally and definitively signing out! 3 American children in 4 years is not beans

Passing the baton on joyfully and pls let's keep the fire burning. God will continue to provide for us who want to undertake the journey. Il be happy to help where possible but please if I delay beat with me.. my hands are full and I won't be coming here as much. Love and Light Folks, Xx �

Thank you for your response

Eraytee:

I meant applications where a mother is planning to school with a child as a dependent tends to be refused. I don't know how true this is.

Good day everyone,
