Hello everyone, I asked a question a while back about my budget whilst filling my application. I got my passport back yesterday with a 6 months visa. I did my biometrics on 2nd July at Ikeja, got an email for collection on 25th July.Documents submitted: 6 months payslips Letter of introduction from my employer Proof of ownership of our residence Evidence of husband’s ownership of other properties Husband’s payslips and evidence of employment Son’s birth certificate and bio data page of passport ( he’s traveling with me but he doesn’t need a visa) Bank statements (salary n savings) Husband letter of co-sponsorship (he’s not traveling with us) Letter of invitation from sister-in-law and a copy of the bio-data page of her British passport Cover letter- I explained the lodgement of some funds into my account by my husband in January. |
semilore12:I didn’t get your message but I’ve sent you one too. |
semilore12:How much is it pls? |
iwuoahsamuels:I sat on an aisle seat and it was quite easy to move around, reach for baby items in the overhead bin without having to bother the person next to me. |
iwuoahsamuels:Hi, I flew delta in May, they give bassinet on first come basis, so it really doesn’t matter if you’ve booked one before your travel date, just try to get to their check in desk early and request for one. They’ll give you if it’s available. There were only two bassinets on my flight with about 10 babies, I was able to get one cos I got there early and my initial seat was changed. |
Nadnad:I paid $421 in May. |
justwise:Thank you |
justwise:I and my husband are sponsoring the trip. He he earns about 400k a month. |
Candybright:No cash, you can use your naira card, DH once used his booked a ride for me from Lagos and he used his naira card. |
Good morning, pls is a budget of £1200 for me and my baby? Intend to stay with my sister in law and she included in her invitation that she will be responsible for accommodation, feeding and other logistics |

overlord77:I visited about 5 hospitals when I got here before settling for oakbend because their prices were way above my budget, so sir/ma I did do my research. |
debby516:Wow, still paid their old rates about 2 weeks ago, I’m using them this month. |
Ojugunrege:I had my first appointment with him 2 weeks ago and he was very pleasant. |
Abiodunnn:I’m here too, not seen your email though |

Ojugunrege:Yes, Ikeja |
Ojugunrege:Hi, you can try Alpha pharmacy on Alabi Street, off Toyin, got mine from them. |
MadameW:*it wasn’t so bad* |
Chyjane87:Hi came in through Atlanta some days ago and it was so bad. 1st guy asked why and in the us and for the money I had on me. Sent me to the 2nd guy to check my cash, 2nd guy was very nice... didn’t check the cash ... asked if I had a doctor and wished me safe delivery then sent me to agric cos I declared food. The guy at agric was the one that gave me a bit of issues...he asked for doctor’s correspondence, bank statements, my job, hubby’’s job, what we earn, who I’m staying with, what she does... he even said the bank borrowed me the dollars I got from them. I had to explain what PTA is to him. Finally, he asked me how I intend to access the cash in my dollar account �. Told him I have a dollar card, I can withdraw cash or do online transactions. At last, he he allowed me to go without even checking my bags *phew* My advice, whatever POE you decide on, just be prepared for any questions. |
semilore12:Congratulations, DH’s interview was also smooth last week. His transcript below: Vo:good morning, can I your passport pls DH: good morning, hands it over VO: why are you going to the us? DH: my wife is having a baby next month and I want to witness the birth. VO: can I have a copy of your wife’s visa DH hands it over to her VO types, types, types... hands over the white paper. Pick up ur passport....and safe delivery |
[quote author=ladeonas post=65609183]must people apply for visa extension i guess. please how do you check online, how long you have been stamped in? Hi, I saw the online link on this thread not sure of the exact page, but between pages 50-55. Rechecked and discovered I’ve been stamped in for 6 months actually |
dere5:Thanks for this, just checked again. I’m actually permitted to stay for 6months. |
Hi everyone, I just arrived Atlanta and discovered my passport wasn’t stamped and when I checked online I discovered I was stamped in till 9th April, which is before my due date. I declared childbirth both at my visa interview and at cbp. Please what do I do? |
Hi, you did the right thing by declaring that you’re pregnant, however I don’t think it’s a good choice to accept FIL’s bank statements...it might raise red flags. I got my visa recently and DH is my sponsor as well. I went with both our bank statements and he had previously transferred the funds I need to my account, but what I did was to highlight those transfers in both statements and told the VO hubby had transferred the funds I need to me earlier without the VO asking. He took his time to check the corresponding names in the highlighted transfers. Then I also went with a sponsorship letter from DH where he had also specified that the funds have been transferred to me earlier and I made sure the VO saw the letter. Wish you the very best in your next interview. ][quote author=daxx post=64563162]Hello everyone. I had my interview recently and I was denied. The VO assumed we didn’t have enough funds to cover the trip as DH transferred the money to my account. ( I used my salary account statement which showed my then salary of 186k. I say then because it is now slightly above 200k.) She also didn’t bother to look at my money market statement which also had some funds in it. |
