Good evening house.

I am new here. My interview date is early August. Going for a wedding and then use the opportunity to see hubby. He is based in the US. Already, I have applied for an immigrant visa, but just going to visit and come back while waiting for the immigrant visa.
Btw, hubby is one of the groomsmen and the person wedding is our mutual friend. The wedding iv already stated that accommodation is taken care of excluding the flight. Hubby is paying for my flight ticket.

Please I am open to any advice, contributions or whatsoever. Thank you and keep on doing the good work.

Here's a typical online description of a Yoruba traditional wedding, from http://www.yorubabridalengagement.com/ :
The Engagement Ceremony
The Yoruba engagement ceremony is actually the “traditional wedding.” This is when the couple is united together as husband and wife and the groom’s family pays the dowry or “bridal price.” As with any other wedding, the occasion is graced with lots of fun, singing, dancing, laughing, blessing the couple, and praying.
And for Hausa couples, from http://www.allthingsnigeria.com/2012/hausa-traditional-marriage :
It is part of the Hausa tradition for the groom to provide a house for the couple while furnishing the house is the full responsibility of the bride’s family. The wedding date is called Fatihah. It is the day of Solemnization of the two families and payment of the dowry referred to as sadaki.
Everything I'm finding continues to support the idea that a couple is considered married once

baby2014: People in the house please l need information About birth in new york area with cost!!!

Harjeehbaday: @kenkelewu,

Did you travel recently too? Was Houston your POE?

nikkygal: @Kenkelewu....Could you please give more details on your 'houston experience' at the POE? This will go a long way in helping undecided peeps in making a decision. As the Nos.1 entry point for peeps going to Elpaso is Houston....and it is noted for having cheaper hospitals compared to other cities.

Sunglow: Good day sir.Pls how possible is it for us(my family) to relocate to the states.presently my huby livrs in Europe,but he will prefer all of us moving to the states instead of joining him in Europe cos of the language barrier

Harjeehbaday: Good morning and Happy weekend.

I've checked up on Dr. Downey. Pls do you have any contact e-mail to his office? And how many weeks preggie were you at your first appointment with him?
Will look fwd to your response. Thanxxx

nadee: Hello all,
Please does anyone have info on any doctor in the usa who is able to carry out a VBAC? This is for women who have given birth via C-Section before and want to try natural birth for subsequent deliveries.

The doctors i've contacted so far are not willing to take on such cases but only offer a repeat CS.

Pls any information on this from someone who has or knows someone who has gone this route before will be appreciated as i am seriously trying to avoid a repeat CS.

Please assist, thank you all.
