Exchange rate

Thanks.
Sorry o, neffy, I'm poor with financials. When I'm in the US, how do I transfer my money from my Gtbank account to the American account?

Is it a Naira or a Dollar account.
Personally I withdraw using atm. I don't know the GTB exchange rate right now, but access is doing 208 to $1. Nigeria is making it more difficult to transfer from Nigeria, except you have dollars in a Domiciliary account. If you have a good rapport with your account officer, you can send instructions via email to move funds to your US account. Swift and Bank Charges will apply.

Now I get it. If I withdraw my money to get Dollars in the American ATM, then it will not be affected by any sudden rise in the dollar-naira exchange rate. So it means the American account is just for safe keeping of my dollars. Right? And please what is the maximum ATM withdrawal one can make per day in the US.

Most likely because on your daughters passport it says she can travel with either parents alone. .....so try the immigration office for clarification

Hello House,

I am due to travel in a few weeks but i want my mum to come with my toddler sometime in August. I hear we (hubby and i) have to do a consent letter for her to hold authorising her to bring my daughter.

Does anyone have experience with this? Pls let me know what details the letter should contain if you do.

Thanks.

@ nefertitiram @ dittobaby,

I opened a savings acc@ fidelity & did my PTA same day @ 199.5, I also asked the lady what the fx rate for Pos & atm is and she said since its a daily fluctuation thing she wouldn't be able to give an accurate figure but she's sure it can't be significantly higher than the bank rate of 199.5 since that's what ALL their transactions is priced at.....

I know GT is 210 on a good day and can get up to 213-215 on a "gooder" day. smiley

Will do a withdrawal from my fidelity acct when I get to the states and if the rate is as good as am assuming, will transfer my reserves from GT to fidelity...

You can book online and take the confirmation code to their office. Either way, they charge you the same amount be it debit card or cash

Ok so where on this article does it say u must be born on American soil to be eligible for presidency? Being born to a US citizen makes u a citizen automatically. I didn't know that d focus of dis blue kpali race has changed to our children being US presidents. Lol, naija no dey wan carry last sha. These oyinbo pple reading dis thread will just be laughing their heads off grin
zeezahbee:
Ma'am don't u get what am talking about. I said you can not be a president if u are not born in the USA . Regardless watever way u become as citizen, as long as u weren't born in the soil, u can only become a governor or mayor . Finally, one must live in the United States for at least 14 years to be president, in addition to being a natural-born citizen.Seems that's better understood. Thanks

The constitution after the adoption of the constitution



Article II, Section 1: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

@Poster,The bolded is false. And you should stop making authoritative statements on topics you haven't fully researched. You are already sounding like a supreme court judge here,yet this is actually a matter that the supreme court has not RULED on because no litigant has followed through with it. Those who wanted to argue it in court against Mccain even pulled back because its a futile exercise. grin

1. Mccain was born in Panama, he ran against Obama in 2008.
2. Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona territory before it was a state,he ran in 1909.
3.Mitt Romney’s father, George, ran for president in 1968, though he was born in Mexico.
4. Like @Amother4life told you Ted cruz was born in Calgary canada,he is running in 2015.

All of them have found their defense in the congressional act of 1790 which states that: “And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.”

Thats one of the solutions for the Section 1, Article II of the U.S. Constitution that you quoted. Another congressional act in 1795 issued a similar assurance, though it changed the language from “natural born citizen” to “citizen.”But the State Department clarifies the issue, saying that the 1790 language is honored under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

A child can be born in Sambisa Forest as far as he has either parents as american citizens he will be fine. This issue of "natural born citizen" is mere controversy and there are plans to amend the constitution to clarify this confusion. If you need sources and textbooks on this matter,i will oblige you. I hereby rest my case.

Which country? Nigeria or USA? If USA, It all depends on which state she's in. If Houston, check Tvegas post for detailed information on this. If Nigeria, then yes you only to get Nigerian Passport.

You are wasting your funds withdrawing from ATM, the charges are not friendly. Why not try to go to either walmart or kroger and buy money order swiping, there is no bank charges and money order of $1000 the charge is just 79 cent and you can buy depending on the amount you want and deposit or exchange for cash in a bank. Some bank atm might charge $3 for withdrawal and GTbank will also charge you N480 or so. Mind you the $300 minimum withdrawal doesn't affect money order purchase, it affects only ATM withdrawals

Have you tried it yourself or you are just repeating someone else?
I tried it and was going to get a $10 per transaction charge for using a debit card, in addition to bank charges, to buy money order so before you echo what you heard, please get your facts straight. I withdraw from chase bank atm, no $3 charges, except access bank atm charge of N420.

That is false except you went to a currency exchange which you get charged. Go to Walmart or Kroger or Direct western union office and not agent. So the above information you got is false. I use my GTbank always to buy money order and it has worked fine including my friends who school here. So you need not echo ignorance in the face of fact. I can see you're too fast to respond to post, rather read properly, I said some banks might charge you $3 for withdrawal from their ATM. With ATM the withdrawal limit is $300 as stated by GTbank, but you can use GTbank card and swipe for a money order of $1000 and you're only charged 79cent.
