It was approved in two months, after I submitted her application.

I applied for open work permit for my spouse and visitor visa for my child.
My family stated lived with me here in Canada while I was studying


I am already done with my studies for a long time now. I got my 3 year post graduation work permit and my wife also got another open work permit for 3yrs.
We both have job offers. It only took about 3months after my studies before I got a professional job.

So we are already living in Canada. We have provincial nomination for Permanent residency and we looking forward to Citizenship in the nearest future.


Hope this helps.

I wish you guys all the best! You can always ask me your questions.

Canada is definitely worth it.

Let me justI drop my pen peacefully ✍ ... for now while

enjoying the beautiful view of summer from my office... �

Praying for everyone, it will surely end in praise!

I would like to thank God first and foremost for making all things possible! And my wife for encouraging me and prompting us to fast and pray (tho I chop small during the fasting period o; I no go lie). Many thanks to the guru himself @Justmellow for the guidance; the email exchanges were and are invaluable! You’re too much! @Insanity – the very first person I reached out to and who still helps me to this day! @Klianud @Spectro you guys are wonderful. Special thanks to everyone on this platform; your questions and answers shine the light for so many.

Lastly I would like to thank myself. For the perseverance, for painstakingly reading through previous threads just to get a good idea of the whole process, for convincing myself that my age (37) is not a factor, for writing a stellar SOP (though it took weeks, lol) and for “noogling” (using the searchbox in Nairaland) when I was totally lost.

Truly, it has ended in praise.

God bless!

Update:

Application submitted 9th May with upfront medicals and IELTS.
Biometrics 10th May.
Since then, no further update whatsoever, just silence.
I was just reading up on how to request for GCMS note this week.
Then, checked my profile this morning to see Medicals updated to pass 28th June and the Original Passport Request and Correspondence letter dropped in my profile this morning (29th June).

I must thank @Lekiboboe especially for looking at my SOP twice. God Bless you man!.
Thanks to everyone supporting this platform with helpful tips and guides.

Also; I want to confirm if a single dose of the vaccine qualifies one for quarantine waiver or one must complete both jabs before a waiver is possible?

DeeandGLady:
1) Yes US Baby Passport-

2) Yes he will have to Notarise at the US embassy in Nigeria

3) Yes

4) Yes

So I guess you understand the process now

ozycy:
You will need the notarized form if your husband is not with you in U.S. He will have to take the form to the embassy and after which he will send the form to you through courier. If he's with you in U.S, there won't be any need for that

Aibisoye0:
Is your husband witnessing and staying a while after the birth of your child? If yes. Then you don't need it as he will be there when you do documentations for your child. Eg passport.

However, if your husband is not coming due to work, funds etc, he can NOTORIZE the DS3053 form at the us embassy for free. All he needs to do is to book an appointment around the time of your scheduled CS or
VBAC. For CS you know the date so it's fixed. For VBAC you might want to book a week after EDD or book like two appointments with the embassy a week apart.

See link to book notorization at the embassy below. Remember to select "Request notarial and other services not listed above." Fill in his details and you're good to go.

Link to form- https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds3053.PDF&ved=2ahUKEwjeofOOoKDcAhWqAsAKHYsEBcsQFjAAegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw3TluFl80TUMs0OJGHjG9w2

Link to appointment- https://ng.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/

Once he's done there is DHL at the car park he can send it for 18,500 Naira for you to the US or use UPS and send for 18,000 Naira.

Hope this helps

Good afternoon ladies

Baby girl arrived on the 3rd of January 2018 at Houston Northwest Medical Center through vaginal delivery.
Breakdown of cost:
Dr Xydas: 2000
Hospital: 2000
Induction: 200*
Stress test: 200*
Epidural: 650*
Hospital peadiatrician: 675 (the normal fee is much higher, this is the The Healthy Baby Package rate)
Pathology: 97 (after discount)
Peadiatrician(after discharge): 75
Birth certificate: 75 (plus delivery charge)
Passport: 160 (expedited)
Visa on arrival 190
*these are optional

I got baby's birth certificate 18 days after birth, 22/1; it was delayed cos of the adverse weather. It's 23 per copy but I paid 75 because I ordered it online (http://houstontx.gov/health/BirthCert/) and it was delivered to me next business day. To save time, I booked my appointment at the passport agency while waiting for the birth certificate. I booked two appointments actually, with different email addresses just in case [(https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/hurry.html)
(https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/apply-in-person.html)]
When booking the appointment, it's important to indicate that you need the passport same day in order to obtain a visa. After I got the birth certificate, I went for the passport interview the next day, 23/1. My husband wasn't present for the interview, but he was around for the baby's birth so we notarised in the US. If your husband isn't coming to the US, it's best to notarise the document at the US embassy before travelling to the US, notarising at a Nigerian notary public is no longer accepted. I got the US passport same day and sent the email for visa on arrival that night, got approval on Thursday 25/1 (https://immigration.gov.ng/visa-on-arrival/) and travelled on Monday 29/1 via Lufthansa. I had called Lufthansa customer care a day earlier to book a bassinet seat.
I got to Lagos on the 30th, straight to visa on arrival office, presented the approval and other docs, filled a form, paid the fee and baby was stamped in for a month.

NB: Got the Social security number in less than 2 weeks


Thanks to everyone for sharing info on this thread, God bless you all mightily!. To God be the glory!

Chanbaby:
have u gotten his contact now?

Aibisoye0:
Book an appointment around DW due date. Eh if your wife is due today add an additional week. Once that is sorted. Then you have to wait for delivery there's no two way about it. If DW is doing CS and you're sure that will also guide you on the date to choose.

This is strange, I came in through Dallas POE at about 7 months plus and I didn't even spend up to 5 mins with the CBP before I got stamped with 6 months. Dallas POE is almost the easiest in this country. very sad for her o.

saytolz:
Lmao. The pressure is just too much. Decided to go work out a bit to ease some of 'em . But will give anything for a reliable info on when to expect.

Encyclopedicon:
And d mails will start dropping 9am 2mao mrn...God pls take control

rationalmind:
.

This is quite funny I must say. We were over forty who attended the career session majority of whom are on this thread. I think the only person who tried to answer should be commended and not vilified.

It's not even like we've gotten offer letters. As far as I'm concerned, I'm even expecting my regret mail so we aren't really different.

Anyway, I'll tell you how it all went. The day started with the usual verification after which we went for breakfast- yes, we had breakfast. Shortly afterwards, the career session started. It basically centered on telling us about airtel, it's operations, the graduate trainee program, how long it's going to take, what working with airtel is and all that.

Afterwards, we went for interviews. My interview wasn't really the best, I started well and ended badly.
