Let Her send you a copy of her visa and data page. Tell them your wife has a visa already and they will ask you for the docs i mentioned. And you and your son will be issued a visa. Again, always target the visa officer that if for example, interviews 10 persons, He/ She (mostly He) approves say 7 or 8. That's the person that will issue you your visa. Its serious and perfect timing cause you just have to be smart. I wont give out more info here o! please. God speed and congrats!

is it that easy to target VO? from the many visa experiences iv read, many people end up with the VO they are trying to avoid. he should just do his homework well and hope for the best!

t

If He's the next person to be called and the person before him was called by the same VO he is targeting, , just get up and walk into the rest room, come out after 3, 4 or 5 mins cause each VO has a min and maybe max time to spend with each person. By then one or two other persons would have been called by other VO's. That is why i called it serious timing and being smart. ( Though meeting the targeted VO is not a guarantee but it improves your chances by say 50%) its my personal experience. other have theirs. what worked for others may not work for me.

my hubby had to open a current account to get pta from UBN

Please what Union bank branch/state did your husband get pta cuz I went to a Union bank in wuse 2,abuja today and I was told in addition to having a current Account, I also have to run the account for 6months. I have read of people who got pta same day they opened account. Do different branches have their own policy or I spoke to an uninformed bank staff? Thanks for your response

Good evening house, i want to know my chance applying for a b1/b2 visa with my 2 years old son. My wife put to bed last week in Houston, she applied alone because we have been denied before as a family. Now i am thinking of reapplying to visit her during the Christmas Holiday. I am concern because i would love to go with my son who is just 2 years old.

Since your wife has put to bed, i believe she should have paid all her bills. Let her scan her receipts to you, including her visa page and data page. Add them to your documents and go along with them. Pray to God and hope for the best.

In the spirit of .............
Lol. Was directed to get fit to fly at the airport, though i had one from my hosp, a rly nice lady attended to me, i was charged 1200.
POE- Jfk 16th Nov
Arik air- it is terrible to have no form of entertainment ooo. But no stop over comforted me
The queue moved fast as we landed around 5.30am. Was directed to a Lady, n i just said, chei, women n wahala n said i need it stressfree Lord in my mind.

Officer- what r u here for?
Me- vacation n childbirth
Officer- who are you staying with?
Me- a friend.
Officer- how do u intend to pay?
Me- cash
Officer- how much do u have with u?
Me-$10k
Officer- u should have ticked yes where it asked if u had 10k
Me- i said it stated if u have OVER 10k but i have 10k on the dot
Officer- smiles, how many kids do u have and did u have them here?
Me- this is my 3rd Child, yes i had them all here. (I even thought she would ask for reciepts, i had them handy)
Officer-What do u do? ........
Officer-When last did you come n how long did u stay?- last sept for vacation. Spent 12days
Officer- how long do u intend to stay 14wks
Fingerprinted only my right 4 fingers, no pics taken. Stamped B2- 6mnths.
I asked, dont i need to do the finger print of the 2nd hand n take pic, she said nope maam, u r good to go.
Had all documents handy, but didnt need to show any.

To be honest, it was faster than when i just come for vacation. God's favour n Honesty is the key. I didnt declare for my other kids, but i bumped into this thread n decided to try declaring, i did n it felt good.
Thanks to all the Mamas that contribute here.

Hidden mode is difficult to explain if you dont know what to look out for cause you need to either install a software or use anonymous browsing website. your best bet is clear all (cache and cookies) from your browser...( cause websites save your activities anytime you visit them, so clearing them makes the website believe you just visiting for the 1st time) So if you using Mozilla Firefox, Click on the top left of your screen where you c Firefox and click preference, then click on privacy and you see where its written remove individual cookies and click remove all. for google chrome, go to settings and click advance settings at the bottom left and clear cookies. People rarely use internet explorer now. once you do that. search again for flights. the best days to fly cheap ....Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday. depending on the airline. sometimes, book a flight 147 days before travel.

Thanks ma'am

Well, generally it was ok, but i have def seen better, no feem ooo my sister, they forced us to sleep ni o, lmao, its sad, if they cant fix minor issues like entertainment, only God knows, but the consolation is its a night flight, i avoid eating anything other bread in most flights, so i cant rly say much about the food.
They kept to time, which was super awesome.

@ozycy n nef;Lolz Na so we see am o,sharp sharp things.How r d babies doing?

For those looking for PTA, contact your BDC customer. Some of them are now give PTA. Most probably not at CBN rate but better than black market. Just like what travelex is doing. Someone should give it a shot and let us know

cc: Akelvin

Hello All, anyone looking for PTA should go to Stanbic ibtc they are giving pta all you need is open an account or use someone that has a Stanbic account but they will charge you some percentage for using someone card. And they give you same day. For those around ikeja go to Allen avenue branch .go with passport/travel ticket. Now my question is if your bank gives you the maximum of 4000 dollars can travelex sell more to you if you need more, despite the fact that bank has sold to you.

Use someone's account to collect pta? I've never heard of that before... If that person doesn't have a ticket to travel it's not possible. It simply means u r using the persons quota or pta. And it's the persons passport that'll be stamped.

ur passport has been stamped right? If yes sorry u can't. But of u used someone's ticket / passport / account to collect them u can go to travelex

Well I had a personal experience of someone who used her cousin account to buy pta right before my nose, her cousin isn't traveling do she just borrowed her cousins account. As a matter of fact on the Ora form you fill at Stanbic they is a place they ask you for the beneficiary of the pta after putting your account number if you are not the beneficiary. But ensure you go with the owner of the account you want to use and your personal travel doc

Hi. Pls has anyone delivered multiples in Atlanta recently? I was recently rejected by one of the three popular Atlanta hospitals on this thread. I initially felt sad because all seemed to have been going well until they got my medical report stating that I am having triplets. I am under 20wks and intend to get into the US at 22wks.
Pls does anyone know of any 'multiple birth friendly' hospital in Atl that accepts foreign patients? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks.
