Thanks for your response. I have another question.
When you wrote to embassy, did they reply your mail. What was their response like? Which email address did you send to? The documents that you have was it just a print out of your evidence of informing the embassy?

I got my visa last year first quarter of last year. Got pregnant this year. So I had to inform the embassy. Hold all the documents you can and be prepared. I was ready to declare especially cos I had come previous complications. But I wasn’t asked anything close to “why are you here or what’s the purpose of your visit”
If you look at my POE questions you will see there was no chance to squeeze it in there.

Hi everyone
1) please can I my baby travel with ETC alone without the American passport ?

2) Those who travelled without american passport during COVID how did they do it please ?

3) How long does ETC take?

4) I’m planning to apply for my baby’s first American passport in Nigeria. Since I don’t have a date for notary for my husband and I cannot stay in the US forever.
Any advice please

P.S: I already applied at the passport agency but they said they cannot move on without the notary from the US embassy in Nigeria. They turned down the one from the high court in Nigeria

Nikanne:

Yes you can

1 Yes you can, just make sure you don’t have any layover in Europe as the plane will not board you since your baby doesn’t have a schenghen visa.
This happened to me personally and I was denied boarding, they had to move me to the next day, direct flight from US to Lagos without any layover. Had to find my way to Abj when I got to lag.

3 I think ours took about 2 to 3 weeks, we used the embassy in Atlanta and also used the expedited process. I think it was longer because we forgot to add a return envelope

Hello everyone ,
Had my baby in Maryland and the hospital bills alone were over 21k, I felt like I was being over charged compared to the estimate I was given. I started off in labor and by the next day I went in for CS… I stayed for 72hrs. Then I came back after two days on account of high BP and was observed for two days. I have been asked to write a letter saying the bills are more than expected and request that some bills be knocked off. I was also asked to fill a form. But when I looked at the form all I was seeing is financial assistance. When I called them, the man was saying it’s an in-house hospital thing to knock bills off. That it’s not financial assistance. I hope this wouldn’t affect my visa application in the future. I don’t want to have any issues … I don’t know what to do. Should I apply? Please I need advice. I just feel my bills are not fair enough compared to the estimate I was given. but he said the bills have been reviewed and the only way to knock off is it write a letter saying it’s over the estimate. But the form is titled financial assistance. Advice please ?

Please after having my baby, what documents do I need to process the passport apart from birth certificate? Is there any I can take along from Nigeria?
