Hello House, Please I need your urgent help

1. Anybody who has used united airlines to travel back to Nigeria should assist on how to go about buying an infant's ticket (either 2ways or 1way) because one way is more expensive than two ways and someone told me ill also need to show a two way ticket for myself before id be allowed to purchase a two way ticket for my infant.

2. Also, consent form for obtaining a Nigerian Passport. My husband is not around and I intend obtaining a Nigerian passport in the Nigerian Embassy at Washington DC. Id like to know if a scanned copy of the consent form will be accepted at the embassy.

Please help.
Thank You.

I used the branch at ceddi plaza. Buh apparently all of their major branches in Abuja does it.
I bought using my passport n after I maxed out on d limit, I bought using my wife's passport...
Apparently u can use a relative's passport and ticket as long as both personalities are there.
The guy made me called wifey out to meet me up at the branch n physically collect d Benjamins.

Hello house! Long time. Got back to naija last weekend with my American princess!

So I promised to post the process of getting naija passport.

Naija passport is gotten from only three states in the US - Washington DC, Atlanta and New York.

Please note that baby has to be physically present at their office for photo capture unlike the naija visa that can be posted by mail.

I got my baby's passport in DC. First,you have to go to their website (https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/passport/epassport) to fill an application form and pay $77. Make sure u select the right country and state where u want it processed. You can only pay online with a card that has the same surname with your baby. I haven't done change of name on my accounts so couldn't pay online. It's written on the website payment can only be made online but it's not true. Just fill the application form and print it out. Then buy two separate money orders of $77 and $30 each. Then go to their office with baby's birth cert(original and fotocopy), two passport fotos of baby, copy of both parents datapage,online application form printout and money order of $77 and $30. You do not need 2 book an appointment b4 going.

Wen u get to the office,if you went with money order(didnt pay online),they will collect additional $35 from you and say it is to associate the money order to your application form(in my opinion,it was jst a way 2 get extra money *hisss*).

Then you submit all the documents and wait for baby's turn to capture. They say it takes 2weeks for it to be ready but you can get it same day(expedited). It cost $90 for expedited and it will be paid to their supervisor. They will try to form that it's legal but na lie. No receipt for it and you pay codedly. Naija pple are the same anywhere in the world! Smh. Wait for 30mins or an hour max for the passport to be ready.

There's a business centre at their office where fotocopy is done for $10 per page and they can also fill the application form for you there but don't know how much. It's best you fill the form and print from home and go with all you documents to save cost and time.

Please note that this procedure is for DC office as that's where I did my baby's own.

Congrats to all new mums and safe delivery to expectant mums.

This marks the end of this journey for first baby. Will still be here reading(and laughing at funny posts and fights) quietly. I'm also available to ans any questions.

Hi isysleek

Kindly help, I'm trying to apply for my baby's passport in DC.
1. If i'm filling the form online, am I going to put my name or my baby's name (as per the applicant) im asking this because of the places I saw email address etc
2. My husband is not around hence, I need a consent form from him. Will the embassy collect a scanned copy or he has to send the original copy from Nigeria
3. Do you have a sample of the consent letter you used (if you used one)

Good morning family.

Pls I need help. My son's Nigerian visa is nt yet ready. Ve been on this thing for more than a week and my departure date is tomorrow. Pls what can I do if I don't want to change my ticket. I wish there is a way out. Help Pls. Tnx

shawlar:


@anonymousmum - I just saw this, and I have gone thru all your posts. They were truly insightful. However you never said how u resolved the extra billing issue with them @ methodist sugarland. Where you able to negotiate it away/reduce it or did you finally settle for a payment plan?

Also, is there any particular reason why u chose there over Oakbend? I'd just like to know cos they are the last two places on my shortlist & u may have some extra criteria that could be key. (I'm sorry- I might b pickin ur brains 2much or on personal level here..., would have tried using PM but I dnt knw how dat works)

cheers everyone

I really want an affordable hosp/dr with whom I can pay at least part of my bill beforeI arrive Chicago, so I can have an evidence of payment at the POE. Where I can do a bank transfer into their account from Nigeria..

@payju11

Proceed at your own... (lips sealed)
