Nah, you misunderstood me,I gatchu 't even talking about you, I meant ME... I can laugh now! You get?

Chicago POE can't be described, na see dey make am real, when others gave account, I felt, ahn ahn, e nor fit bad reach, but nah, they ain't loyal!!

Yes I grab. Its never easy my dear but God dey. Upon all the gra gra, somehow most mamas and papa's make it way pass the border.

@Iphie. That's the way it ought to be. I like how u didn't let a Cruz intimidate u! Asians and Hispanics are mostly the headache from what I have read here. Jealousy things!

@Modath, making tired pregnant women wait endlessly I don't even find amusing. What was amusing me was raising left nyansh for them! Cracked me up for real. But truth be told, Chicago and Houston Poes reach to raise both nyash for one after the other. Infact even with thighs join sef.

modath:


You always come "bearing" humour, ME LIKEY.

Chicago POE can make a even a terrorist cry, the couple hours they spent "entertaining" me was like a movie scene/set.... they reduced fully grown up adults to Mr Bean like characters!

I finally raise left yansh for them when one guy said his device was dead, the officer nor even argue, he just brought out one medium sized basket filled with chargers of different kinds& give the guy, make hin shoos make hin shois!

Say hin MUST see wetin dey inside!! Hot wee wee hold me with my big belle but I was falsely cool on the outside.... Psalms 23,91 & 121 just dey rotation for my mind.

LMAO... chai nawaooo!

Goodday all,am new on this platform.i recently got a visa to the us for vacation with my family.during the interview,the lady asked if we were going to see the doc while on vacation we said no.she also asked if we were expecting a baby soon,we said no though am about 3wks pregnant.our plan was to travel for vacation first then i will go back for delivery when am due.but because of the rate of dollars now is it possible for me to delay my travelling till when am ready to deliver?please i urgently need advise.

thank you.

You lied and the vo has updated ur records that u don't intend to seek any medical assistance as you stated in ur interview. That was why the question of are you pregnant was asked. So if for any reason u go ahead and seek medical assistance it will definetely affect you and urs on d long run. Like LadyG told u, use it for the vacation u stated in ur interview. Good luck.

Is there a new development on the passport upload? The last time I checked, you can submit without uploading your passport and just go to the embassy with your passport on your interview day.

I read on d other thread moderated by VOS that you must submit ur passport online before submitting your forms as they are trying to scrap off the passport hard copies. Its better to be safe than sorry.

@tkgirl. You sure gave that woman a hard time as much as she gave you. Information is keyoooo!!! Congrats on conquering. Call it fallacy of genarilisation but Nlanders mums have set the bar so high that I am sure these karashikas in houston and chicago poes dread interviewing them as well.Who tell u say that woman no feel defeated on d long run? Na vex she take hand tkgirl her passport with cleared on it.God pass them.

Make the booking, put it on hold and go to thier office at the airport or in town and make the payment.

I know right, all thanks to my husband who kept pushing that I stayed back till our son clocks 3 months. Also the sis inlaw wanted me around for nanny services. I wanted to leave in January to some other place when his mom came over, my husband called my parents that I wanted to put the newborn at risk. He said if I took his child outside his sis home that I should as well end the marriage. His mom frustrated me real good. One particular day in Feb, the mom told her daughter that my son could have been handsome if not for the nose I gave him, I couldn't take it and let out all she had been doing to me, unpleasant words were exchanged, she said yes because I want to separate her from her son and destroy her family. The sister was extremely happy to call my husband to let him know I exchanged words with his mother and my once peaceful and happy marriage turned into something else since then.

Wow! Wow! Wow! May you find that joy that has kept your family this far again I pray! Sha do and come back quick. This is really touching and must be frustrating even with the condition you are in. I hope you learnt one or two lessons from this and move on. Your number aim now should be to make peace in UR HOME any which way you can and forget about any other person. Once. You are at peace with ur hubby, he's ready to defend you even infront of your mother in law and other in laws. Be strong and don't let this faze you.

favoredgal:
Wait o Girloom you have been there since November 3 and today is March 21 that's 4 month already.

Hmm. Too long to be a guest in anyone's house. See finish has also entered the matter

Very true! Overstayed ur welcome already.

My dear, coming here was a massive mistake. I am 30 and this lady is 34, I knew I had entered one chance when she told me to attach Aunty to her name and uncle to her husband. Few weeks after I arrived here, I had a chat with my husband on bbm that I was being treated like a maid, this lady went through my phone while I was sleeping, read the chat and got upset. My husband made me apologize to her for invading my own privacy. Despite the fact my pregnancy was high risk, this lady turned me into a semi maid. Things I haven't done in my own house I have done here. She once instructed me to warm food for her 2 year old, my son started crying and I went to attend to him, she asked about the food and I told her my son was crying, her response was 'so you left my son's food because he was crying, let him cry now' Her son comes back with all sorts of sickness from daycare, she gets upset when I try to protect my child. Now my son is ill, caught a bad cold, thanks to her son sneezing on his face severally. I have had sleepless nights in the past 2 days and will have to take him in tomorrow and pay as we have no insurance. Back to what happened today, she said I was ungrateful because I asked why they opened my son's envelope...imagine? My husband delayed in sending money for his visa and that's the only reason I am still here. Her husband was able to pacify her to let me stay saying what would people say back home. Let me also add that she keeps saying she and her brother were very close before he met me and I want to change him. I plan to change my ticket to the earliest date possible and I am still going to call the IRS. Apologies for my uncoordinated rant, I am upset that I am in this kind of situation. Left my spacious house to come and chop insult in this cabin.

This kain rubbish dey vex me I swear! If na me today today I don leave that house! What rubbish!!! Even if I have just one day left thier is nothing that would make me not to leave that house. In as much as I understand that mummies want to minimize cost in this our American dream journey,please if you can, respect your heavily pregnant self and find urself even if na 'face me I face you'(which I am certain it will still be better than Naija self contained in a bq in a posh location) somewhere close.
Staying with relatives no matter how close u both seem to be, one day one day una must crash somehow and it's usually from the so called host bcuz they always believe they are doing you a favour. That's how I stayed with my 'Immidiate younger sister' and her family in one 'abroad country' not US. Even as I paid half of the rent and paid electricity and water bill just bcuz I don't want any insult from her as she's a baby sis. We still crashed a day before I left for Naija with my twins and a niece and we didn't speak to each other for more than a year. Everyone including mumsy was against her attitude she later apologised and I learnt my lesson also.

So people, while saving for hospital bills, also try save for accomodation please so that you can go and have ur baby jejeli, have ur privacy and farth as loud as you feel like in ur own space without any nonetity feeling very important make ur life and that of ur lo miserable.
I rest my case.

*Apologies to everyone on the thread but this has to be addressed*

Madam Iwanawana,

I saw something in your post that I felt we really do have to trash out cos I believe it is sheer cowardice for the tortoise to claim an allusion to an animal that has short limbs, neck bent to one side, cracked shell & painfully slow movement isn't about it simply because no name was called....


I wish you'd name outrightly the area(s) with poor judgment & reasoning who are pregnant or have infants & are indulging in shepe!!!

I have told Nef severally that despite the camaraderie here, this is not our private group chat & lots of innocent words can be misconstrued!


The saying is that the innocent isn't prone to prickly conscience & one shouldn't care what strangers think but in this digital world that one puts one's footprints, perception precedes reality, so we need to clear this up especially on this thread that relationships are formed offline!!

Neither MO nor Nef are dumb poor judgement having hard liquor consuming lush(es) , buying something doesn't translate to consumption!!!


*back to regular programme schedule*.

Modath, as for the shekpe Mata, we all know pregnant women don't drink alcohol irrespective of what kind(shekpe or expensive champagn). That issue was brought up here just for comedy relief which I personally laughed about too when I read it. I added it to my first post during the whole drama bcuz pun was intended. I have even counted myself as an 'area' too.

So what makes you think I was even refering to you even as I didn't mention your name. Comon now, you had to call me out here. Do you honestly think we believe anyone who values his or her life would dare take shekpe even with the inscription on it. Plus. I know thier are other uses of 'shekpe' which I don't whish to dwell into now.

It's was all pun pun pun and it's quite unfortunate my mention of shekpe has been lost in translation.

Those emoticons and the comments in my opinion is not needed. U can't give and take away. Despite the fact that we all are advocating for peace u still de at the person wen de your corner sef. Na wa o! How do u expect people to assist u like this na?! Shuo.
I don sleep abeg

Infact I am surprised at that emoticon bcuz I was clearly on her side only for her to attack me as well for what reason? Wrong move I guess but hey tomorrow is another day @Funtolash or whatever. Sticking out tongue is for the mentally retarded and I don't want to believe you are one. Plz if you know where You showered, plz go there and take your cloth and wear plz. Don't @ me again. Imagine, bcuz LadyG came to ur rescue you think you have arrived.you are still far far away. You better catch up. Children of nowadays!!!

funtolash:
Shaking my head @ why you still think i havent made attempt to read the previous post (particularly part 1&2) Anyway, I have seen and heard your voice. GOLD MEDAL for you. Now let's move on to the next best thing.

I bow for youoooo! U sef get time and energy to attack instead of take simple correction. Even those on your side you still find time to attack. Biko shift... I don't even know why I got involve for this ya Mata in d first place wey I for just dey enjoy my sleep. Plz keep ya GOLD MEDAL I no be olympian.!!! Long hisss.

funtolash:
@ LadyGuinivere am sorry if my message came out wrongly but that was not my intention. I felt insulted by your response cos if you read through my first message I did mention that pls forgive if my question sounds silly.

Ive read more than 100 pages of each of part 1&2. I even have jottings and screenshots of some cbp interviews so am just wondering why anyone wld think ive not read jack. I fear the name calling in this forum o. @bisoye82, name calling and insulting me, really. I wonder what that will do for you.

So apologies to everyone. I was stupid to have asked the questions. So lets move on to the next best thing.

Was expecting you to show that maturity and do that eventhough na half baked but we understand say na d hormones. LadyG plz accept, forgive and forget thanks.

But nne u have to read sha. Atleast read some pages in this part if not all. Infact. I know it's quite overwhelming when someone who just joined or started following is asked to read pages back but the truth is if you have read at least some, from your questions we would know you have read something atleast. But people let's not forget that some people just come and post questions, they prolly don't even know thier is even part 1 and 2 sef. They just see heading...Bam they are asking questions.
Next time just check well before u throw jabs ok, bcuz if you have read you will know the nice ones and the not so nice ones, the ones wey dey drink shekpe(area)and d ones wey dey drink bottled water.

Moral is just read small ok, if not all and where u dey confused you fit just ask question and maybe you can get an answer. Let's Forgive forget and move on. LadyG I admire you from afar. Welldone to the mamas and papas.

bigfido:


This guy. I asked why my post was removed because I didn't feel I broke any rule but the only reasonable answer you could give was for me to commit harakiri?
Lol. It's ok then

Oga Justwise, I believe any hospital or an establishment can only consider placing advert only when they have be made popular here by our folks atleast they would get to hear about nairaland. D hosp mentioned hasn't even been used here by anyone yet I presume. I, Bigfido and everyone who comes here knows that this is YOUR WORLD and we merely live in it but biko werenu nwayo(takeam easy). But I must commend your sacasm cuz eno get part 11. Just my observation teh teh. Welldone sir.

Left Lagos via BA and requested for wheel chair service, at BA stand I wasn't asked for fit to fly.

The lady that wheeled me to the depature asked if I was pregnant and I said yes. She asked for my fit to fly and I gave it to her, the next thing she said was I hope you don't give birth in the plane because your are leaving at 35 weeks; I replied immediately, God forbid. I will not birth in the plane.

We got to London and it was all good.

We connected our Flight to Houston after 3 hrs layover.

Before landing in Houston, my mom and i prayed a prayer of agreement and i felt peace immediately.
Got to Houston at 2:15pm.

God of wonders, God that never fails, Awesome redeemer I saluate your majesty.

Was wheeled to CBP. I greeted but no response.

He asked for our passports and I handed it over to him.

He asked me to place my fingers on the scanner and then the picture.

Immediately, he said am sending them back.

I don't know what he saw, I don't know what happen, I was moved forward and he was to scan my mom, then he asked who is bla bla bla... I said I am, he said Oh no! I have made a mistake. He immediately radioed some people and said they should please send a manager to him.

When the manager came, he enquired what the problem was, he said he made a mistake and the manager asked ain't we send them back. He said No, I made a big mistake.

He re-scanned me and stamped me in 6 months, scanned my mom and my daughter and said Sorry about the mistake. Welcome to America.

My fellow mamas, no document was asked, my purpose wasn't even asked, nothing at all.

The devil stuck out his ugly head but God cut it off.

I am presently in my host''s place. Waiting for my appointment tomorrow with Dr. Ezekiel.

Praise be to God.

Hallelujah.

OUR REDEMER livethooo! Forget! You can imagine!!! Na so some people go just pretend and write one thing one thing one thing as reason for sending you guys back for no just cause instead of owning up to thier mistake. God bless him/her and may the rest of your journey be as well easy brizzy.

Lmao na real shop, really I think it's best to just ignore posts like that, just like Mrsbw said why not pay the $300 and use him and stop asking for referrals, if you are truly prepared for this birthing journey $300 na small out of the remaining bills that will still be paid so why not pay it

Ignore? It's just a question YOU can choose to answer or not. Don't advice someone who wish to answer them to ignore it. Everyone doesn't have the same mentality and we are here to learn.

Good day mamas. Pls for mamas using Huggies DIAPERS (Bought from US) What is the difference between Little swadlers, Little Movers, Snug and Dry ...e.t.c. Also, there's one called Ultra, and the Other just Huggies....pls I dont just get it. need to buy but am so confused.

Snug and Dry is usually my all time favourite. That's what I used for my twins and still using till date. Have no complain so far.

LagosNIV:


It's true... sometimes applicants even get upset and yell about it because they say we are the same VO that always refuses them but I can clearly see in their notes who spoke to them last. As a matter of policy we will send you to see the next VO if we were the last to interview (and refuse) you.

Hello Everyone,

Just joined and I am pretty impressed with what the VOS are doing here. These people. Don't owe us any explanation as to why they refused us visa or not afterall they have given forms at the point of refusal explaining that.

Making out time of thier busy schedule explaining on NL what is and what is not is quite commendable.

The particular vo that responded to this quote I could sense is niceoooo. Some can be harsh as well or maybe mood swings I can't say but I am impressed sha.

To everyone contributing una doooooo welloooo.
