Hello everyone, How's the weekend going? As my Alaska journey gets closer fear dey catch me lol. Anyhoo, please I am trying to book emirates online: 1) I noticed the only payment option online is to use your card. Is there a bank you can pay in like some other airlines do? My card doesn't work online and they don't accept third party cards so I can't use anyone else's card. 2) I intend to travel at 35weeks, I saw an epistle and a form on emirates website talking about "traveling as a preggie" and fit to fly (their fit to fly seems a bit more detailed than other airlines). Please I hope they won't give me wahala on the day of my trip. Please those who flew emirates while pregnant can you advice me? Thanks |
PlOOT:It's dicey especially if she used a very popular hospital. For instance everyone knows Rush in chicago and except you are extra creme -de- la -creme it may be hard to convince anyone you are birthing there without having sufficient funds, unless you were given a special discount. You have nothing to lose at this point though, re-apply and see how it goes. |
adycatus:Is it only British airways? I thought Klm Airfrance and emirates woul take max 36weeks |
Hi everyone, Please I would like to ask a question which I think is stupid but I've heard it from 3 different people today and I think I should just ask anyway. Is it true that you can get PTA from more than one bank? |
chuchuo:Sigh it's only 2hrs from Washington Seattle lol. Y'all need to chill!!! Alaska isn't as bad (regarding the weather and distance ) as you think. I'm only defending it cos I intend to give birth there by Gods grace. Lol |
nefertitiram:Ahn ahn! What if I wan apply myself? It seems pretty straight forward. Anyway thanks! Do you have the agents contact |
nefertitiram:If the hubby is not with me how do we sign the consent letter for the ETC? Abi we go don sign am before I leave for the journey? Or do they accept scanned copy? Also how soon before I travel can I apply for ETC. For instance, if I still have 2-3 weeks before I travel, can I still apply for the ETC ? Would the embassy think I still have time to Process a visa and not grant my ETC? I mean can I apply for ETC at any time before my trip back home? |
ayanuke:Asin ehn! Just now I read someone's reply to me and I was about to lash out, then I realized the reply was actually helpful. I guess it's hormones plus the country's situation. |
sugah:God bless you. I didn't know ETC was short for emergency travel document. It looks easy, why are people not doing this? It seems easier than the naija visa... Am I missing something here? Wait ETC does not disturb the blue Pali right? Can you do ETC if your husband isn't with you on the trip? |
nefertitiram:Meanwhile,if you don't mind, please can I DM you? I really need to clarify somethings and you seem to have a hang of these things. Let me know. Thanks |
Hello everyone , Please I was going through the thread and I have a some more questions 1) please what is ETC? I noticed people kept saying you can get ETC if you don't have time to get a naija visa after getting the blue Pali. What is the process for getting ETC and what is the pro and con of ETC compared to a Naija visa 2) if there is no US passport agency where you are, is there anyway you can still get the passport same day. I noticed people who didn't have passport agencies in their state had to use the post office and it took 2 weeks...... Is there any other way? Thanks a lot ! |
bbaby84:Fly down Keh? Please can I just mail it from Alaska to the naija embassy myself? Would It get done? |
nefertitiram:So you did the visa yourself? How did you manage to follow it up and get it in time? I heard that if you don't use an Agent they just throw it anywhere (even if you pay for expediting) and you don't get it for weeks. Is this true? |
nefertitiram:My relative drove me around, gave me snow pants and boots lol. But really it wasn't that bad, it was just about negative 10 degrees. I'm glad I will be going back in summer. |
Can someone please answer my Tanko question from the previous page. Please I'm begging |
olokings:Abeg I can even do tongue tie for free sef lol. Tongue tie 350? Kai!!!!! This US ehn! Na only God o |
nefertitiram:Lol so I went to Alaska in February( I wasn't showing at all) to gather burden of proof. So it turns out the hospital takes VD- 2000 ( it was 16000 but you get 85% discount for paying self pay and an additional 20% if you pay before delivery) The 2000 includes Epidural and all medications Pediatrician 300. Doctor - 5000 ( the one I chose) NICU -497 Total- 7,800 It's on the high side but that's where I have family. Plus my relative promised to buy all baby things I would want. She already got the car seat, sterilizer, warmer, bottles, clothes etc. PS: I had to go with all tests and scans to see the doctor. He asked me to bring some specific tests when I come for delivery and he promised a free scan before delivery. That's the story o! If you no get family for Alaska don't bother coming lol |
Hello everyone, How are you all doing? I would like to ask a few questions 1) my hubby wouldn't be coming with me for childbirth.... Can he scan the form ( the consent form signed in front of the US notary) to me via email or must he send it through DHL/ fedex 2) I intend to get a Nigerian visa on the blue Pali, I read through the thread and saw a "Tanko". Please who is Tanko? Must I use him? I would be giving birth in Alaska, is Tanko my best option or can I just do it myself? |

Jiji11:Thanks a lot. Can you do send the money to any account like a personal account in the UD or it has to be an account like a school or hospital? I mean, for example- can I send money to my sisters account in the US using this method you mentioned above. Would the bank agree to do that? |
Hi everyone, How's everyone doing? While reading through the thread I noticed some people mentioned sending money directly to an American account and the bank with do that at the CBN rate. May be I'm not getting it right hence my confusion. How does this work? Is this what the form A is about? Can someone shed some light on this? I thought you have to put the dollars (you got by yourself) in your domicilliary account before you can send it to the US. |
Please I have a quick question. Do you need to wait for the social security number of your LO to arrive before you apply for the US passport? Is the birthcertificate alone sufficient. I'm asking cos the hospital said the official birth certificate will be ready in less than a week but the social security takes 12weeks. Thanks |
sugah:Really? Wow! I wonder if GTB may be selling ... Would have hubby check GTB tomorrow |
LadyGuinivere:Will do thanks |
sugah:I just saw it too o. PHCN took light and the wifi went off so I skipped that part. I've saved all their numbers will call them Tomorrow. Thanks |
ebonychic18:I'm the same mama. Was just asking again may be I someone now knows lol. I don tire sef but I can't give up. |
[quote author=mrsbw post=41856029][/quote]I just saw this response. Thanks a lot ma'm. Since I don't have a stanbic IBTC account, they won't sell to me? |
No one answered my stanbic questions? |
nefertitiram:Hahahahhahaha lmao. Well it's true. Google the temperature today in Chicago and that of anchorage Alaska.lol. I hate Chicago winter cos of the wind. Anchorage isn't as windy lol. You can't even escort me cos it will take you almost 24 hours(stop over time inclusive) to reach Alaska from chicago lol lol |
firsttymum:I will go to Alaska at month end to get all my burden of proof(since I'm finding it difficult from here and my preg ain't showing at all). Got a flight for 1429dollars KLM. So far all my Alaska bill is still looking below 4k dollars for spontaneous VD. |
nefertitiram:1st of all, all those chicago mums can equally go to anchorage Alaska as the level of "coldness" in chicago and anchorage are same. I know other places like Fairbanks, bethel, in Alaska are terribly cold but ANChorage is same as Chicago. Trust me! Lol 2ndly, To make matters worse you no even give me E-hug, na only e-kiss. You ain't nice lol |
. How body?
