hello house, whats the most affordable flight to the US now..not exceeding 28hrs, layovers inclusive. ethiopian used to be a sure plug, but they have jacked up prices

damrmd02:
Pls gurus I need your advice

so many things could have gone wrong.
the vo might have been in a hurry or bad mood and didnt get to read all your plenty writeups.

that aside..once you include CAC...u should also include tax payment...its automatic denial if u dont include evidence of tax payment once u include cac.

the next free advice is ---keeep it simple. let your salary acct remain a salary acct, your business acct...remain separate...and perhaps you have a savings account...where you can agreegate your savings, thats what the uk people expect and it makes screening accts very easy with higher chances of understanding and success.....the usual nigerian style of jumbling everything together no get head and is super confusing and frustrating for a vo to vet

Possible1805:
The peer pressure currently is just too much, people mentality is that traveling is the best option, my partn er started giving me pressure to move out of the country too at the other end am not seeing that as an achievement I mean she expect me to leave a job I created by myself 6years ago in nigeria that is currently fetching me at least 2-3m monthly to japa, if I do will loose all customers because the job is competitive, and for over 6year now I work from home, lose that kind of job and go to Uk as in what kind of job will fetch me 2-3m monthly savings in the Uk.

Now my partner will be looking at me as an enemy of progress, the skills I have is only plumbing work skills i most do that as a side job in nigeria here I only attend to big job, japa is not for everyone you people should stop looking at it as a big achievement… and stop calculating you earning In naija just to say that you better off over there… we all cannot leave nigeria, after you will be saying if you cannot do it for yourself do it because of your children ABEG and what of my mental health…. Please stop calling NIGERIA shithole

A family friend sent an invitation letter that she will accommodate me. My closing balance was 1.8m

ok, there are so many factors which we dont know.
the 1.8m that is your closing balance, is your acct clean?...ie regular inflow and outflow??

2ndly, your friend that sent you invititation letter, did they include their rent receipts?, is the accomodation suitable enough to accomodate you?. whats the status of the friend inviting you??---the visa officer disregarded everything and homed in on your finances, perhaps sopmething isnt adding up. na only u and the agent know that one..


Lastly, this nigerian behaviour of mental indolence/not willing to understand how anything works, but relaxes and leaves serious matters in the hands of outsider who has no stake, agent gets paid whether or not you succeed...is not a good behaviour, i call it mental laziness.
for a serious and willing person, just reading 5 to 15 pages of this thread is enough to give you the information needed to apply for your own visa youself! , but no, people will run to agent..and when it doesnt work will turn around to say--they dont know what the agent did.

Joy49101:
Pls I have been refused o and I don’t understand

i didnt follow your story, but you may wish to shed more light on the below issues.

did you intend to book a hotel or stay with your friend?
your budget of 1200gbp/550k naira........is not enough, if you factor in flight = accomodation and food = tourist things for 10 days.

if you claimed you wud stay with your friend unto free accomodation (( not really advisable for a decently employed person)...did your freind send his rent slips and invitation letter?.

what was your closing bank balance in the bank statement you submitted?

omo, what do humans really want

anyway...this is just messy.

see finish have entered the equation, you messed up by sleeping with her...

to extricate yourself from this mess, stop all the sex, then once in a while..send a decent amount of cash to her acct...if she asks why..tell her its appreciation for what she is doing for you... then after a while if you observe again......arrange a female friend to come visit you...

cos the other babe don see say u no get babe, u dey comfortable...u like am....wetin remain again??..na to marry naaah

HumanityYak:
what about if I apply with the same documentation and Bank Statement up to 27/July/2022 and only changing total monthly expenditure plus explaining why the reason of refusal was unfair!

OR SHOULD I Bring new bank statement and documents?

even me weak sef, the story dey crooked, how much do you earn that you would claim to spend 1700gbp = over 1.6m naira monthly on living costs?...if am a VO, i would be on hihg alert already already,,,just for that statement alone...then a bank statement that has dodgy in and outflows.....
thats why he looked for any flimsy reason to deny you. they believe your way no pure

Ebonybiuty:

ELECTRIC OR MANUAL?. new or used?. i have some units of electric side to side rocker coming in next month, if you prefer used, search on instagra,m, dem plenty

Christianaoha:
Thanks mama, 24/25 is not too cold?

Well, it varies from body to body.
Normal room temp on a sunny day is abt 28 to 30 degs.23/24 usually works ok for me most time.
You can get a portable room thermometer and find out what works for you/ baby

Mummy4life1:
The same thing is happening to my son that will be 4month tomorrow but what I did yesterday was that, I use manual breast pump to pump the milk in my breast which I was able to pump 150ml, to my greatest supprise he finish it once. God will help us all

Hmm, strange..guess it may be a growth phase....
did he eat the food late at night by any chance?.
mine for 2 days now, will refuse to eat during the day..and burps out most of the lil food, one is able to force down his throat.but he will now wake up late @ night to cry, and would eat 2x his usual meal size b4 daybreak in 2 installments......then refuse to eat again during the day. am worried heisnt getting enough nutrition, cos google says he shud eat eating 2.5x his equivalent weight size in ounces daily, ie for a 13lbs baby, he needs to eat about 33ounces of food daily.

will try the hospital 2moro and see what they say...really dread going to hospitals cos of this corona nonsense

Limahgirl:
Good evening all. I noticed of recent that my baby is not feeding well. Whenever she's hungry and I put her to breast, she will suck for like two minutes or highest five minutes and comes off the breast. When I give her again, she won't take it or if she does she will repeat the same thing. I see milk spilling out when she comes off the breast so it's not that I'm not lactating. Please has anyone experienced this before? What can I do?

same here for my son, almost 4 months. stopped wanting to eat both breast milk and formular,
last night and early this morning, he consumed ate 2x of his usual dose..and stopped again..this is 10pm now, he would suck for a a minute or two and stop..something wil spit out some of the food. other than that he behaves normal, though appears a lil frail to me
i dont really know whats wrong. not looking forward to going to hospitals now cos of covid-19, however may be forced to go on monday if it continues,

could it be teething?.

7th evacuation flight

my baby like rubbing his eyes frequently, his eye is clear, am i cant see what he is always rubbing vigourously.
2ndly, when he is sleepy, another bout of rubbing starts again, like he wants to rub out the sleep. 4months old. anybody experienced this?, any quick remedy?

Christianaoha:
Good morning Mummies, please am new here. I am a first time Mum. My baby is three months old and has stuffy nose which he suffers most at night. I have gone to the hospital and I was given crystal menthol but that thing is too harsh. He has had it for over a month. I bought saline drops it offered some relief but they are expired and I don't want to get another one I just want it to go. After a friend's advice. I have been doing steam for my baby since Saturday, morning and night. Just yesterday I was told to give him vit c please is there something else I can do to relieve him of this it's becoming a nuisance.

Cough started 3 days ago but wasn't obvious but during this night he has coughed 3 times.

And please the nights that are hot how do you cool the room with baby in it? I usually on the AC for sometime switch it off, wait for the temperature to come down a bit before we go into the room. Please how do you cool your room with a baby in it?

about cooling room with ac, simply set the temperature on 24 or 25 deg, and leave it indefinetly, it will maintain that temp in the room. most people go and put it on 18 or 16 deg..and turn around to complain that its too cold

Limahgirl:
Hello mamas, good day. Please is white patches on the tongue normal for babies? My baby is 5weeks. If yes, what can I use to clean it? Thanks.

white patches is either milk residue or oral thrush. both could be easily taken care of, you need to confirm which one it is

Dbankermum:
Piedmont in Atlanta? What exactly are the charges for and what explanation are they giving?

I used Eastside Medical Centre recently and the only issue I had was there was with Pediatrix. (Their In house Paediatrician)

Did you pay your bills before discharge from the hospital?

piedmont fayette.paid hospital and docs bill before delivery, few weeks after delivery, the sent in bills for epidural, and their inhouse paediatrician, saying this wasnt captured in the birthing package. this was later paid and we were issued zero balance invoice, then periodically, they would sent an invoice...for another small thing they said they forgot to charge initially, last one i remember was a scan.. and this was supzd to hv been part of the birthing package. and this was after we had told them to chck and ensure they send in all the bills at once, as we are not residents. the thing is tiring, thought they are supzd to be more organized than this

anybody has experience with piedmont hospital?.
they keep sending random useless bills, months after birth, and being issued a zero balance sheet. ayam tired. after warning them to do all their checks and they agrreed, few weeks again, another bill will drop

what do you advice i do in this situation.
i am beginnong to think its a trick on their part , so they can say..i didnt pay all my bills, and try recovering the balance from medicaid. of what use is the zero balance sheet sheet they issued months ago then?

i am trying to avoid whatever thing that will affect my visa renewal

Hello guys

For people who have joined tge evacuation flight to Nigeria, apart from both parents taking and presenting covid test results for joining the fligh, can you help with information as to if they require covid testing for infants too.

Thanks

mothers who presented a negative covid test report, were allowed to fly with their infants, who didnt have. makes sense. kudos to the organizers for that waiver. i personally believe infants have no business, poking a swap almost into their brains as done for covid test

rukkiees:
Good evening fam. Please for those on first evacuation flight, was the corona virus test compulsory or just temp check is sufficient. Thank you

learnt 9 people were not allowed to board on the 2nd evac flight 3rd july, for not having covid-19 test result

Tee1583:
6k maybe. I just want the best rate I can get.

6k is gonna be tough, most sstand alone docs charge 3k to 4k....hospitals charge 4k to 6k, then epidural and other orishirishi....
try piedmont atlanta and wellstar cobb. it would be cheaper if you can get your own doctor that has privileges' at good hospitals.

houston or chicago has cheaper birthing rates

hello mamas, what can be used to treat oral thrush in infants, and also the mothers nipples?
want to limit hospital visits, cos of covid

oral thrush. te symptom .is that whitish tongue in infacts,

moi1809:
You can only renew ur childs passport in Nigeria... Passport cannot be issued for the firt time to a minor in Nigeria, I had a friend who experienced this in 2015... Just to be sure check the Embassy website for Nigeria and see what they say...

JUST to chip in, you need to make the application before the child gets older than 1yr, that is likely what happened to your friend.
as stated on US embassy website as well

StrongWoman333:
Nothing she will just stare at some thing and all of a sudden start running to me that she is scared. Sometimes she sleep s in fear. Her fear is even making me scared and worried

lolz, its normal in babies. they usually grow out of it, as they get older, its called startle reflex,

Elo2020:
Pls what about the baby’s US passport? Is it possible for it to be issued in us embassy nigeria?

yes, just ensure you come back with the birth cert.
go to us embassy website in nigeria to see more details and procedure

chibertha:
I have replied you check your mail, as a 3ed flight has been confirmed and leaving on the 17th of july it is getting filled fast. Even if you want to join the next flight it is better you start now too because another flight can only be arranged if you guys are many.

action lady thank you for all the help & info, much appreciated

Chiowerri:
Just to mention. If you are using the evacuation flight, you will be allowed to board the flight with just the birth certificate and an Emergency Travel Certificate issued by the Nigerian Embassy.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!.
thank you so muchhhh
