To be fair to just wise, he deletes all the numbers. You were lucky to grab the numbers before they were deleted.
So while you're saying what you know, it's not necessarily the truth.

Deleting of Tanko and Eddy's numbers is a recent development. I followed this thread from Part 1 till now. So I know what I am saying. For the last time, I DIDN'T LIE! Case closed!

Good day everyone,
Have been reading through the trend and I want to say thanks to everyone that contributes
Please am filling my B2 form and am confused about who is sponsoring my trip, although my husband who has his own business is sponsoring my trip but he has a lot of money in his business account more than his personal account, my question is : should I fill in his company/organisation as my sponsor and take a later from the company stating he is the owner and will be sponsoring and also the certificate of his ownership or should I take is personal bank statement for the interview?
Thanks

Just fill in your husband's name when going for interview go with supporting documents

Hello house. Pls any mama with new York experience(past, present or futures?)

Hello house, want to say a big thank you, been following this thread for a while and learnt a lot. This is my Poe experience. Was worried cos during interview Houston was not our destination. My hubby kept assuring me that change in travel destination can happen to anyone.

DH- Vacation and child birth

CBP - Do you have insurance

DH - We have insurance in Nigeria but it doesn't cover the US

CBP - What do you do?

DH - I work in xxxxxxxx

CBP - How do you intend to pay

DH - We have paid part of the bills and we have $9000 cash on us

CBP - Put ur fingers and scam

CBP - Ma'am also put your fingers and scan.

Dear Sir/Madam
We the parents of ...wish to apply for Emergency Travel Certificate for him/her to enable us take him to Nigeria. Due to logistics reasons we are unable to process a Nig passport at this time. Thank you for your assistance.
Yours truly, (sign and also write your full name. Spouse to sign too). 


Thank you.

Contacted both Ambassador Stella and Tanko this week. Prices have increased for both ETC and VISA $320 for ETC (cost of FedEx inclusive), Visa $350.

Much cheaper if you do it yourself buto if you're pressed for time you may want a guaranteed delivery date and you can get it from them.

@ jingles baby Thanks a lot! Just tried to book the UK to US leg with Iceland airlines, gtb wants to charge almost double the fare!
Did you pay online?
Nawa oh!

Nogen:


I am not lying please. It was here I got Eddy and Tankos' phone numbers. When I delivered and learnt about ETC . I came here to inform others of another alternative to Naija visa and Naija passport, especially for those who do not want sending out their babies' US passports. YOU Justwise, deleted her number.

So, I wondered why we could post Eddy and Tankos' phone numbers and not hers.

Madam you got the number before i saw it, i don't discriminate, i delete any agency number as soon as i saw it.

You are just making false allegation.

Nogen:


Deleting of Tanko and Eddy's numbers is a recent development. I followed this thread from Part 1 till now. So I know what I am saying. For the last time, I DIDN'T LIE! Case closed!

You really don't know much about this, part one started in 2011 and i wasn't a mod here then and nairaland was not charging for ad at that time too, paid ad start sometime 2013 or 2014 then i started removing unpaid ads threads and in-thread ads.

Deleting of Tanko and Eddy's numbers is not a recent development that has been the case for years.

A thread started by somebody who claimed to be Tanko was removed and that ID banned for many years.

Lets say you are unknowingly telling lies

Hi all, want to give back and so you dont make some mistakes i made too. lol

Gave birth at Northside hospital. i give God the glory. my obgyn was Dr dodder she was so encouraging during all the pain and accurately predicted my labour day which was obviously different from my due date. nice huh!

Hospital bill advance pay -3550 got additional 226 bill ( They didn't explain much but i guess i would prefer to reject the nursery and ask more questions next time)

Epidural - 3000 with 25% discount 2250 (Didn't expect to pay this much, if i knew it would come down to this i would have chopped the pain like that lol. North side anesthesiologist which is separate from the hospital

Obgyn- used North Atlanta Obgyn - charged 2200 and used my Nigerian lab test which you have to insist on

pediatrician- used Children's care pediatrics, Dr John M. Thomas- first and second visit at the hospital cost 115 after discounts. subsequent visits were made which are at your discretion and you pay for each visit.

infant ticket -363 united airline paid over the phone (paying at the airport may b cheaper)
Us passport -105 plus 60 expedited ( if you have almost 3 weeks b4 you leave, just use the normal route. dont pay for expedited) my brother got his in 2 weeks one day.

Naija passport is cheaper than getting a visa. its 77 plus 30 processing fee. if you want it same day you pay 65 more.There are agents at the embassy that charge 28 to help you make payment. also go with a prepaid postage envelope if you want it mailed to you so you dont ve to go back for pick up and keep the tracking numbers.

Hep b vaccine can b taken at birth or at the ped. pls ensure you get yours.

Thanks all. please google for phone numbers and safe delivery to other mums.signing out.

Big Congrats on the safe arrival your LO.

Pls I will like to know if you paid cash for the hospital and doc bills. I have been calling Northside Atlanta to know if i could pay with Form A but they insist they dont accept wite transfers. This black market dollar price is giving me palpitations!

Also, how did u get your doc? Judy Furbish( who i was told handled patient -doc arrangement) has not replied any of my mails. I am due in sept and will b leaving in Aug.

Lastly, hw was ur POE experience?

greatie:


I think it was this week from my calculations. Submitted documents last week had to update my records cos the account was inactive not until friday (28th may) last week when it was rectified.

So he submitted on tuesday and i was called for the pickup on Wednesday evening.

Suleja branch.

Hello Greatie, please did you get the entire 4K allocation? Thanks

AdomMum:
Wow!! Awesome testimony...especially at POE and price-wise! Just stumbled on it and i'm tapping unto this testimony..loadz of congrats!! God bless your LO!

Dear Cutelass,Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Lovely testimony , God is really great!

Hi all. I had a baby in 2014 and processing the Nigerian visa then[b][/b]seemed[b][/b] complicated. Got stuck at the payment page where it was compulsory to use exactly the same name on card as the name of the visa applicant. Plus I called the 3 embassies again and again without making a connection back then. Was pressed for time so I resorted to using Tanko and got in 3 days.did not mind paying the$50 diff then. However, since there are people here who have done this successfully, please help with this info
a. Does it matter the name on card used for payment?
b. How long does it actually really take to get back the passport
c.Does one get prompt responses now via telephone or email to the embassies and which one -to follow up on an application?
Thanks

PS: just arrived in Dallas but POE was very uneventful so transcript will bore you in the spirit of giving back. The only thing was I was asked a question which I have always wondered what response to give " why don't you have your baby in Nigeria, why the United States?

My heart leaped initially but I just responded that I was told it is not illegal to have a baby in US so I chose that option. we moved on from there.

Any expectant mothers in the San Bernadino county of California? Please let me know, I will like to compare notes on hospitals and costs. Thanks
