Please in booking appointment for DH in respect of the new development in notarizing , which of the box should I click, I clicked the 3rd one, which states that a notarial service is needed , but a friend said it was wrong that it is the second one that is correct, pls kindly Guide me, thanks


You are correct, it’s the third one. The notarial service. Go right ahead and pick a date.

Hi CanadianCherie, I cannot see your email. I used medical city Plano. That’s far from all those cities you listed above.

Imagine, corruption full everywhere. Dey are all thief. Dey believe dt since u dnt av option, any amt dey call it for you, u will want to pay. It is well

I really don’t know what is special in getting the notary signed by them. When our government won’t get its priority right, these foreigners treat us as they like.

It is well, let me do and come back jor.

Paid for what exactly?
The last time I checked, Nigeria US consulate doesn't collect money to sign the notary form. So are you saying your hubby paid them in Naira to sign the form?

He paid equivalent of $50 in Naira to sign notary form. That’s what he told me. It’s on their website.

Hello,

Please for those who had to go to the consulate for notarial signature; Did you go with the cash of 50usd or paid to the bank first?

Kindly respond.


Hi,

My hubby paid in Naira.

[quote author=ICANOFFICE post=64035877]Called the New York agency. I was told a needed to do a declaration that we have not received the SSN. but could only get appointment on Friday

Hi ICANOFFICE, when I applied for my daughter’s passport on the 2nd Jan., they asked me to hold her SSN. It wasn’t necessary. You can travel to Nigeria with either the US or the Nigerian passport but I’m not sure you’ll be issued an ETC. I stand corrected o. Process for either passport will take time so your darling wife might have to be patient. Congratulations on the birth of your baby.

Hi, please is this applicable in Dallas alone or Texas/US. If in all states, can you send the site for booking embassy appointment for notarization.

Thanks


Hello,

Another Mum in Atlanta Georgia said she got the same notification to get her hubby sign the notary at the US embassy in Nigeria so I think it’s across board. It’s the same DS3053 form that’ll be notarized at the US embassy in Nigeria.

Hello,

I have same issue, I'm in Dallas and my hubby left PH to Abuja to get the notary at the embassy. He has to book appointment and go to the embassy in Lagos or Abuja immediately but in the mean time, change your return date.

A colleague applied for medical visa to give birth paid all bills before interview and was granted visa.
She Went for vacation with hubby with same visa came back and when it was time to deliver she went through Dallas POE and was refused entry that she is coming late at 7months and 3weeks close to 8months, she explained to them she was given medical visa,her Doctor scheduled appointment,showed full payment and all that they still refused to listen, she was sent back to Nigeria with canceled visa 3weeks Ago


At the above bolded will hardly be the exact occurrence. Hardly abeg! Dallas POE, medical visa, all payments made, even went on vacation first, turned back because she came late. We hear oh.... Abegi!!!

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.

Ok.... Pls dear Ogekad and other mama kindly enlighten me... Abt this US embassy Notary thing. Can DH go to the embassy or schedule appointments before the baby is born. Eg if someone is due for late April can DH schedule the embassy visit in March so the person can travel with the notary or is it after birth that the DH can go to sort out the thg in Abj or Lag embassies?
Secondly what documents does he need when going to d embassy
Pls help enlighten confused peeps like me
Thanks!

Hello, I’m not sure they’ll give notary before child is born. You can get appointment date 2 weeks after your EDD.

Congratulations on the arrival of your princess which by the way is my mother's birthday mate.
Please I will want you to keep the house updated on how you sorted the notary issue out because i dont see my DH having the time to go to Abuja or Lagos embassy from PH for notary.

God bless you.

Also anyone with info on flight promo please share

Hi beautyuche, compliments of the season. the only way your hubby will avoid going to the embassy is if he’s present when you are applying for the passport in the US or in Nigeria ie you return with Nigerian Passport otherwise he has to go to the embassy to get the notary.

i didnot date the notary form DH signed. i know the form is valid for just 30days. i am also not going to downtown dallas, would just apply from the closest postal service to me , so they would deliver at my location.

thank God the sun is out today Dallas is @ 7C


My dear that notary you have is no longer valid, if you know your EDD (I’m sure you know) book appointment now for hubby to go the US embassy in Nig to get the notary or else hubby is planning to come when you give birth. Where in Dallas are you?

Hello my dear people, happy new year.

This new year will bring us uncommon testimonies.
I had my princess on the 12th of Dec. 2017. I was so misinformed that I delayed the process in getting her international passport. I got her social security a week after birth. I went to the Dallas passport Agency downtown to get my LO's passport first on the 30th of Dec., I was asked to schedule an appointment which I wasn't aware of the I got earliest appointment date for 2 Jan., 2018.

I got there in time for the appointment and gave all the documents needed only to be told that the notary our DH sends to us is no longer valid as DH has to go to the US embassy in Nigeria to get the notary or be present at the US passport agency.

Apparently, this is a new rule that started yesterday 1 JAN., 2018. DH needs appointment date to get this notary and this is another delay for me as I need to get back to Nigeria soonest. Please, is this the same in your state. The social security is not needed when obtaining the international passport. Let's share this and talk about it.


I wish all our expectant mothers safe delivery in Jesus name.

PS: DALLAS IS FREEZING @ -2/-5.

Hello everyone,
I am a silent reader, I got into DFW on the 29th of Oct., the queue was something else. I almost collapsed. I went through the first stage where you will do passport reading.

Then I processed to pick my luggage and face the CBP guy.

CBP: How long are you here for?
Me: Till Christmas
CBP: You're pregnant?
Me: Yes
CBP: Do you have family?
Me Yes
CBP: place your finger here.
CPB: Do you have food
Me: yes. The guy stamped me in for 6 months. Nothing was checked nor ceased.

POE was breeze, I am sitting pretty and waiting for my LO. Please pray for me and the day drwas really close. My doctor wanted to induce labor but I refused and my due date is still far away.

Please any Dallas mum in the house, boredom is killing me here.

God bless...
