ebonychic18: It's really sad to know that people actually liked this comment. Anyway this is a faceless forum so anything goes. But we should also know that before we became gurus we also sought for help one way or the other. You didn't wake up a genius or did you? SMH 4 Likes 1 Share |

Wen I saw all d banta, mantra, kumbaya, [b][/b]Mbeke big big grammar et al wat i thought of was my own firsttymum and her jollof response .....She has spoken I hvnt had an experience to share yet, before someone throws a grenade at me but @ ifyalways I wish u got here before I read all 3threads in 4 days ..( remembering the headache though it was fun and highly educating) no doubt ur idea would have been golden for someone like me that has time on my hands to read on, unfortunately for those who just suck and go and those with tight work schedule or very stressful pregnancies it'll definitely pose problems for d thread in future cause they'll take dat introductory info run along and come back wen dey are stuck with d issh of flooding d thread with overflogged q's.. I humbly believe if anyone has a suggestion that is beneficial he/ she should simply drop it like it's hot to enable @ justwise do quick justice. You'll be suprised how fast this forum is open to good suggestions..that way the page dsnt get wasted with peeps trying to answer your tantrums with raging hormones.. dariz don't comman scarra d place with plenty grammar and use style nd call people trying to make things work here names before u give your good advice..itis not nice Like dat # justsaying# Sorry this long gist wasn't a Poe experience or visa interview related @ifyalways thanks again # okbye# 3 Likes |

[quote author=PacoChi post=41982231]Thanks LI.... Really appreciate. About my uncle.... Through a visa lottery back in the 90's, he's lived 20yrs+ there and works with US Customs and Border Protection. I'm actually supposed to be staying with him, that's why I asked. Thanks alot [/quote Am not sure the letter of invitation counts against you, we submitted a letter of invitation from a Family Friend when we had our Interview last month and the Visa was approved, am sure that might even be a positive as that means reduced cost on your budget sheet. |

Tips For Birthing in the USA 1. If you already have a B visa, you are advised to write a Notification/Change of Intent email to the embassy Use these addresses LagosNIV@state.gov and /or Consularabuja@state.gov This correspondence and the reply is carried by the traveller to the point of entry (POE) *For the format of the said letter, kindly use the search button on top or below this page and key in the key words. You will have to search until you see the info which has been posted by several users. 2. If you do not have a visa, apply for a B1/B2 Medical visa. Go with evidence to show that you have a hospital,doctor and funds to cover accomodation, medical treatment and any other incidences. (This is popularly referred to as' Burden of proof' on this thread). You may go with the complete cash for your stay. This is preferable but not a must too prove you are capable of paying your bills and provide a smoother poe experience. For more details , use the search button and follow the already highlighted step for search. * Both successful and unsuccesful visa applicants have posted their transcripts. It will be of great benefit to you to go through the thread and learn. Nobody will repost for you again. 3. The decision on a choice of hospital is dependent on several factors. Cost of treaatment I.e hospital, doctor's fees, epidural, NICU etc with cost of accommodation and Flight to your final destination . Sometimes it is cheaper to use a county where you do not have family because accommodation and hospital bills are cheaper. Sometimes it is convenient so stay with family. The choice is entirely yours. Use the search button to search for locations visited and used by previous mothers. This is a Do it yourself thread and it is only courteous to search out info already freely posted for future users and not ask people to repost again. Some of the very popular destinations include Houston, El paso, Dallas and NewYork. However many other locations have been used so don't claim to 'read all pages' and ask for help that you can easily search out by youself. 4. At the POE, you are expected to go with your burden of proof and be well prepared to answer questions to avoid deportation. Note : It is not a crime to birth in the US. It is a crime however if you conceal this fact from your visa officer (VO) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This act is considered misrepresentation and can result in deportation and cancellation of visa and sometimes a ban. 5. After birthing. Kindly pay ALL your bills and ALL your baby/ies' bills. Do not accept medicaid. Although your Child acquires automatic citizenship, it is presumed you were not allowed on the shores of America to add to their financial/Tax burdens. Do not spoil the image of Nigerians that will apply for Medical visa in future. 6. After birthing , you follow the steps for getting a US passport, Nigerian passport/Visa /Travel documents for your child. If your child's travel document is his international passport, you require a dual way ticket. PLEASE NOTE: The above is merely a foundation for your research. It is highly advisable to read all the threads especially part 1 to get the whole feel of the process and avoid running into problems. You can also need to use google to search for cheaper and better packages and add. 47 Likes 9 Shares |

How to get Nigerian passport for the Little one Nigeria has consulates at New york, Washington DC and Atlanta. You can either use an agent or do it youself. To do it yourself, follow the steps (thanks @shawbabe) 1) go to the Nigerian embassy website (google it ) and fill out application for passport. 2) print out the filled form and go to Innovate1 services website with ur ref number and pay. It's $77. If the site is down as usual, then u have to do money order at the post office addressed to them. And another $30 addressed to Nigerian embassy for processing fee. Write ref number on money order and send off to Innovate services. 3) email them to expect ur money order and update ur application online. Once that's done, go at 10am to Nigerian embassy at Roswell with ur print out and payment confirmation page. With ur baby, 1 passport photo, parents consent and data pages. 4) if u meet sane people that day, u can leave with the passport, if not it takes 2 days. 17 Likes |
