Quick question.

Good day all,

Please whats your experience with booking flights with a travel agent versus booking directly through the airline? As per cost, ease of changing flight dates, general help and support etc.

I want to go through a travel agent but mu husband is trying to book directly through the airline company.

Thanks

Good day ..

Please is it advisable to renew visit visa amidst the pandemic?

Do I have to show the 10 days quarantine in hotel booking ?

So meaning if I plan to stay 7days, I’d have to book for 17days ??

Also are there specific hotels for quarantine?

Also how do we pay visa fees as per the limit on MasterCard NAIRA



Thanks Fam

Congrats Mama!

It’s my first time traveling to the US. I declared my purpose was to have my baby and I will also be declaring at the POE.

I am actually going to Houston too. Can I private message you especially about Oakbend please?

Thanks!

Pls who has travelled pregnant with Delta before? what was the esperience like? is their premium economy worth it

Debbieeeeeee:

I’m not pregnant yet I’m still trying. I wasn’t asked either.
Try BA they’re flying or Lufthansa

Debbieeeeeee:
I renewed my visa this morning and was granted.
I was asked how much I earn, why I didn’t travel on my last visa, what my husband does, where I’m going to in the USA, how much I earn monthly and if I have any children. That was all (2-3 minutes).
Good luck to everyone traveling. I noticed some preggies, one was issued she’s quite big so wasn’t so noticeable and the other wasn’t given. The atmosphere wasn’t as tense as 2019 renewal. All the best to everyone looking to renew.

Go through the link, it may help you but you should have used a more appropriate word for the person you quoted because the technical stop is not possible presently as the border have been closed for 1year. The only people that are allow into the country are citizens, PR holders, those with travel exemptions and pilot program organised by states and they must be in quarantine for 14days. So getting a transit visa for just 72hours presently is near impossible as you won't be allow to stay in the country for such period, and also the country only welcomes approved airlines at a given time with provision for quarantine for those on board.


Honestly your situation is a bit dicey, Mass communication is not on the Skilled assessment list and getting a visa to study graduate certificate or diploma course from naija is a bit hard, and also no Uni will offer you post graduate degree with HND. Maybe you should look towards another country.

Pls any idea of affordable hospital in chicago

Disclaimer: my case is different, please do what’s suit your spirit ( everyone POE experience is different and visa experience is different ).


And I know my visa renewal isn’t going to be an issues ... I will come back 2022 to give testimony �

Congratulations!!. Please how many months in advance of your intended travel date did you apply? How were you able to get a close interview date?

Hi Guys.
It is sooo refrshing to be back on here. Havent been here since 2018 when I had my last baby. How are things? I can imagine a lot has changedddd. Ok so i wanna ask, back then, the popular hospitals in Richmond Texas was Oakbend and HNWMC. Has this changed? Are Texas hospitals still being flagged for low prices? Do people still have to look for hospitals that are really pricey to avoid accusations of defrauding Americans of their hard earned money in taxes? what is new guys? from recent posts I can see that people are not disclosing their pregnancies anymore but rather going vis the visit route. All this wasnt the case during my time. My sis is 6 months preggy and has a visa interview end of this month so needs as much information as possible. Kindly help a sister out. She will be staying in Richmond Texas
Gratias

Enigma2021:
congratulations @ibukunpops.

I would like to know if you would be disclosing your pregnancy at the POE or stick to your visit/birthday celebration reason?

I'm also planning on traveling to US via lax airport this April, although I'm just 24 weeks pregnant, I don't know if to disclose my child birth or just stick to visit and vacation.

P.S I got my B1/B2 visa in London for a conference in New York but couldn't travel because of lockdown and restrictions. Now I want to use it for vacation and childbirth

adeniranfam:

Please I need assistance the experienced ones here.i applied for a UK visa using an agent who charged me one million hundred thousand naira, which I paid six hundred thousand as part payment but I was denied and the agent refunded me five hundred thousand naira instead.i don't know what he did or what he submitted but he called and said I was denied..i believe I am not banned because nothing was written on my passport..?

So now I want to apply for American visiting visa myself..i have been dating a black American that wants me over there now..he sent me an invitation but it didn't go through because he didn't include his passport number so he went to apply for his passport but they told him they are far behind and it will take sometime for him to get his passport which might take more than four months..he intends to use fiancee visa to bring me over or come here,we get married and he goes back to file for me but he said 8months to 1year is too much for him to wait after marriage..so now he asked me to try visiting visa and see how it goes, if it works fine but if it doesn't then he would have to take off from work and come down..
Please I need good advice from the experienced ones here as I don't know what to do or how to start..thanks
