Phema:


What nonsense is this? Why are you spamming the thread? If you want to plead for financial assistance, create your own thread!

And you keep going back to dig out people's contact details. That is creepy.

Justwise!

its just packaging...free the fellow and click on the report link

LI:
Wakanow (the travel agent used) said to contact BA and BA says it can't be done yet everybody here seems to have done it

The best option available is when you get to the airport on your way back. BA will add your child to ur ticket because they seeing you there and its not as if the baby is taking a seat . They will charge you 10% of your ticket but so many pay more than that as i have read here.. it can only be done over the phone if you bought the ticket directly from BA.com

LI:
So BA says we can't add an infact to mommy's ticket. They say we have to make a fresh booking for the baby. This is completely different from everything I've read here. What are we to do? Please advise

Thats strange.. did u buy from a travel agent or directly from BA.com?

No use shopping in Dubai deliver ur baby in UAE

jayjay4lyf:


The incidence of back pain post delivery is almost 50%
Predisposing factors are varied, but EPIDURAL IS NOT ONE OF DEM.
Summary, with or without epidural, if u will have back pain, u will have it,

I agree with Jayjay4lyf. Though we cant understand science itself sometimes esp when we add ' in future"

ozycy:

Have all your zero balance receipt and you are good to go. If you ve written to them b4, I don't think there's any need for that. I used one visa twice for childbirth even dou I got d visa for child birth.

Ok thanks. Nice one.

friend:
Good evening my people.
I sent notification of intent to both Lagos and Abuja but I only got response from Abuja.
No response from Lagos for almost a week now.
Can I use the one I received from Abuja. My visa was issued in Lagos.

yes you can. the delay I hear sometimes depends on the multitude of emails they receive and would have to reply each as they read. Wife visa was in Abuja but she used the letter from Lagos

House, has anyone given birth morethan once and had issues at the POE if all ur receipts are showing zero bal. And would u need to write a letter of intent to the embassy a 2nd time and what other docs did u carry along aside the basic ones? Thanks.

Mamatukwas:
My peeps I dey hail.

Pls firstymum once mentioned that when searching for flights you should do so in hidden mode on your PC. Pls does anyone understand what she meant and can u explain how I can change me browser settings to hidden mode because I want to start flight search.

@firsty pls if u have recovered enough to answer would love to hear from u too. Thanks

Hidden mode is difficult to explain if you dont know what to look out for cause you need to either install a software or use anonymous browsing website. your best bet is clear all (cache and cookies) from your browser...( cause websites save your activities anytime you visit them, so clearing them makes the website believe you just visiting for the 1st time) So if you using Mozilla Firefox, Click on the top left of your screen where you c Firefox and click preference, then click on privacy and you see where its written remove individual cookies and click remove all. for google chrome, go to settings and click advance settings at the bottom left and clear cookies. People rarely use internet explorer now. once you do that. search again for flights. the best days to fly cheap ....Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday. depending on the airline. sometimes, book a flight 147 days before travel.

Hello guys aside Union bank which other bank is selling PTA and can I buy mine plus my 4yrs old too since the airline didn't blink when she paid almost full ticket.. They should also sell to her cos she needs her own money too baa? Lmao. Tnx
S/n: trans Amadi branch u must have had an act with them for at least 6 months! Smh

Standard Chartered. you have to open a Naira account or buy PTA at Travelex at Lagos airport. was 203.8 i think on monday. but I hear they have a queue every now and then. u need to show visa and ticket.

is it that easy to target VO? from the many visa experiences iv read, many people end up with the VO they are trying to avoid. he should just do his homework well and hope for the best!

t

If He's the next person to be called and the person before him was called by the same VO he is targeting, , just get up and walk into the rest room, come out after 3, 4 or 5 mins cause each VO has a min and maybe max time to spend with each person. By then one or two other persons would have been called by other VO's. That is why i called it serious timing and being smart. ( Though meeting the targeted VO is not a guarantee but it improves your chances by say 50%) its my personal experience. other have theirs. what worked for others may not work for me.

Come to think of it, has anyone used any of those hospitals they used to shoot the likes of Greys Anatomy, Code Black, Chicago Medical, House and co, abi they are just movies ne?

Good evening house, i want to know my chance applying for a b1/b2 visa with my 2 years old son. My wife put to bed last week in Houston, she applied alone because we have been denied before as a family. Now i am thinking of reapplying to visit her during the Christmas Holiday. I am concern because i would love to go with my son who is just 2 years old.

Let Her send you a copy of her visa and data page. Tell them your wife has a visa already and they will ask you for the docs i mentioned. And you and your son will be issued a visa. Again, always target the visa officer that if for example, interviews 10 persons, He/ She (mostly He) approves say 7 or 8. That's the person that will issue you your visa. Its serious and perfect timing cause you just have to be smart. I wont give out more info here o! please. God speed and congrats!

zoemummy:


Thanks Bbiz.

I haven't been to the specified bank yet but visited BOAmerica and Wells Fargo for their personal and children's account.

For the children's account I'll need the baby's SSN but I can fund the account from Nigeria.

I will give an update once I'm done with the enquiries. Hopefully, after my doctor's appointment on Friday.

Thanks for checking up.

Regards.

I opened Wells Fargo in Naples, Florida with $300 no monthly charge. But after I did, A friend said i should have used BOA casue they have more benefits than wells Fargo, Me didnt bother, I just opened that without monthly charges and left it at that. In Naples, wells fargo and Chase are everywhere. But in the city where you are, it might be different. So walk into any closest to you and make inquiries.

CRAIGSLIST!!! Each time I hear craigslist I remember how someone sliced someone's belly to steal baby, or how someone was robbed and shot dead trying to buy or sell a car. Pardon me, av inherited Neks31 vivid imagination, but please, no, not craigslist!!!

You can try gumtree.com though, airbnb also works well

wow... i didnt know. okay, stick to the other suggestions then.

bbiz:


Hello, Sorry for the trouble I don't think those apartment close to WHMC will conclude booking without talking deposit due to the fact that you don't have an established credit here in the states and also been an international clients. Infact i don't think any apartment will. I know a real estate agent who can try to help you but due to NL policy I don't know if i can share that here. I pray you get one soon wish you the very best.

friend:
My people, The apartment I intend to use is requesting for $400 deposit before they can conclude the booking with me.
Please assist with another one I can use without deposit.
I need the one close to WHMC
Thank you

Why not just use google or Craigslist. TripAdvisor may be very expensive. but the best for some is www.airbnb.com

Which kain chances.....that you were sent don't mean his wife will be. Jacksparow Check my posts for my poe story. Different assessment for different individuals. If them no like ur face or them fight with their iyawo that morning b4 work, then chances are the person will take it out on u

Thanks Shawbabe, I smile at ur POE story that i had to copy to re-post with this reply. Thanks. A lot of people here should check out Naple in Florida. for me, its seems to be very reasonably priced for child delivery. Na only accommodation fit be wahala but they are also considerate.....Here's Shwababe's original story. Enjoy!



My POE story....in the spirit of giving back ( by Shawbabe for ATL)


I flew Air France/Delta from the calmest city in Naija...Abuja grin

The checking in process was ok. No stress, they had me go to Port Health and get a certificate to fly even though I had my own from my Dr. They insisted on the one from theirs, so I went there with my mum and the lady in the office had the nerve to charge 2k naira for it, I was about to flip and say HELL NO! But my mama peacemaker of life, took charge and paid. I was already pissed! angry Why would I pay 2k for what i have? Nonsense! Anyway we left and off we went to lounge to relax, then boarded. I was given a bulkhead seat at my request. So the flight to Paris was OK. I slept like a baby all through.
We landed Paris and my feet was the size of tree trunks lol. My mum had me put it up while we waited. Our layover was just 1hr 30 mins, so we left for Atl. The flight to Atl was even better, I watched like 4 films coz it's a 9hr flight, the hostesses were awesome, especially the black lady. She kept giving me bottles of water, food and juice. I walked around as much as I could coz I was so scared about the size of my feet but my mama said I should relax lol.
Anyway we landed ATL, and the queue to Immigration wasn't long, we were the only flight that landed that early so the line was fast. It got to us, and off we went to the window:

CBP Officer to me: Hello ma'am how are u?
Me: I'm good and u?
CBP: I'm fine thanks. Are u two together and whats the connection?
Me: That's ma lovely Mama
CBP and Mama: Laughs
CBP: So whats the purpose of ur trip?
Me: Vacation and child birth
CBP: Oh ok. Place your right hand on the fingerprint machine pls
Me: (I place my had and removed my glasses for the face capture)
CBP: (Stamps me in and takes mum's passport): Purpose of trip?
Mama: To attend meeting and look after my daughter pre and post delivery
CBP: Ah she's a lucky one ain't she? Dragging u with her to care for her
Me and mama: Laughs!
CBP to Mama: Place your hand on the machine please? (Stamps mum's passport, 6 months each.)

He hands us both our passport and asks me when I'm due and if hubby will join me, I respond in 3 months and hubby will arrive closer to due date, he said no worries goodluck and all the best.

Off we went to pick our baggages and proceeded to hand in the Declaration form. We had ogbono, crayfish, stockfish and Dry fish.

The two men looked over the forms and said 'oh wow yall actually declared your food' and smiles. His colleague laughs and says yea you ladies are free to go. And off we went!

The whole process was under 2 minutes, no documents were asked, even though I had burden of proof in my handbag and didn't bother emailing any Intent letter to the embassy lol. I just thought that one na long process jare, sides I'm not required to. Got the visa many years ago and used it more than 12 times so no need.

Oh I should also mention I had only $40 dollars cash with me lol. Becoz i had transferred all the money to the Bank of America account, and with exchange rate now, I couldn't be bothered to change anything for handy cash jo. I had the print out of hubby's BoA account statement anyway in case issues arose.

Got home and put my feet up. The swelling has since disappeared, so I thank God for divine favour and all went smoothly. So na to sit and wait for baby arrival

Mamatukwas:
I used ATL for my 1st last year. They are polite but thorough and chances are she will be asked to go to secondary inspection. Check my posts or just search for ATL Poe on this thread if you want a more varied view.

*modified*
Cheers!

Mamatukwas. Just read from ur previous post. seemed easy. so I hope for the best for my wifey, eventhough shes not scared. Just want to be sure what shes walking into cause she used Charlotte before and almost missed her flight to florida. Thanks a bunch

Is this peculiar to Delta? Cuz I definitely bought a one way ticket to Naija on a Nigerian visa no passport on BA

Delta i think. cause traveling with infants on lap within the US is free (with Delta)but not on international route esp since they partner with Virgin, KLM, Airfrance. 10% of the Adult's ticket is the standard most airlines should charge for infant on the Lap. Delta encourages u to buy a full ticket for the infant if u traveling international so you can earn miles and that is one reason you dont find the column for infant/child btw 0-23months or 2-17 years on their website when you book . But on BA or Emirates I never had such issues

Some major airlines have that service on their website. if u havent signed up for their frequent flyer program, do that and look for other services offered by the airline.

I'm the queen of online UNO... lol... my rank na 121... lol... boredom. Atlanta mums we should try and meet and just go over things na and gist ... una no dey meet up for this forum?

Hello All,
Who can share their experience in ATL airport with regards CBP. My wife hasnt used there before and this our 2nd baby. She has her zero balance hospital receipts and documentation.

How do i receive OSN channels, please

Do u stock samsung E8000 or ES8000 series and how much? And what sizes do u have?

Hello,
Are you still into unlocking honda codes?

They are done calling people for any other form of interview. its the final list they sent to FCC (only the merit list)

The cut off mark for the test is 19% to accommodate as many as possible.
After the 19%, they now considered people by age, for Officer I and II, the max age is 28. for Manager I and II, the max age 30 and 35 and for senior manager, the max age 40.

so assuming anyone scaled through the pass mark of 19% and is above the age in that category, then am sorry. except u have long legs to make the secondary list which for ur info is out of bound since its not the merit list.
cheers
