Hello house...
anybody succeeded with stanbic bank as per pta this wk?......

simababe:
I have suffered today ooo. Went to GTB, I was told to go to headquarters, went there again, was told to go former head quarter, I got there only for them to tell me they ve suspended sales n som1 told me it only possible at the former headquarter. My head is spinning seriously.

After openin fcmb for my family only 4 them to tell me it's been suspended.

na waoh, so wch bank is giving PTA naah?
if all of them are just cancelling, and its them that told us to wait to 2wks b4 trip!!!!!!...
this move will only increase the pressure on forex in the black market, and it may go up again..

greatie:
Me too bank with zenith... Its so annoying the only thing they do is form A. I even called my account officer and released my anger on him yday!

YEAH, AM GONNA STOP using my accts with diamond n standard chartered if they fail me in this pta waka...of what use are they na, imagine my salary acct is with diamond n they r blowing grammer, twas even standard chartered that was much more helpful.
#boycottdiamondbank, #boycottnonptaissuingbanks

HEllo mommas, apart from spirit airlines and kayak, wch other cheap sites can 1 use......on spirit airline, there is no flight btw Chicago n Detroit,
kayak is giving me a non direct flight, and a lil pricey

babyokujide:
So after all the accounts opened I was unable to get PTA and no positive response, am travln dis wk. I'll just send d money 2 my family via WU biko, I no fit shout.

Advise- always have a plan B cos most if not all banks are not giving.
NB: opened 3 accounts 4 dis.

It is well!

NA WAOH, this is not sounding nor looking good........wch banks did this to you?

luckyman23:
good morning every one, i applied for visa to attend a program and i was given the visa. at the interview i was not asked whether i was pregnant but i intend to use the visa for childbirth. do i send change of intent letter to notify the embassy?

THIS AINT GOOD!....this falls under misrepresentation, should you toe this path and succeed, you will hv a blighted record, wch will affect ur subsequent visa issuances.
Your best bet is to attend the program as u stated during the interview,...come back to naija...n go back again when its near childbirth....[ am assunming ur child birth is still far off/stomach still flat, for the VO not to hv asked you if you are pregnant}

ucystan:
Ok thank you very much, I will try it out, I don't mind opening an account with them (after all I have already opened 5accounts with 5different banks all bcuz of pta, so I guess dis one will be making it the 6th) I just hope that I would not need to have been running d account for sometime.

I don't know the banks policy about pta, ie if you need to hv used the acct for 3months/6months etc..
only thing I know is that u hv a higher chance of getting.

2ndly learnt that this pta thing is branch specific......some branches don't give, while some give...........lagos and abuja brances hv a higher chance of giving.

ucystan:
Pls oo... does any body no where I can get PTA in ph oo... I have been to FCMB, and they said they will sell only 2k on availability.
Abeg any other bank bikonu??
I was hoping on stanbic but obviously they don't sell anymore.
I need extra 2k.

WHY NOT TRY STANDARD CHARTERED BANK in transamadi ?
u need to be an acct holder to be given.

osat82:
okay thanks,even if ur tommy is reaching the steering,i thot there was a traffic law that doesn't allow it,but ok since u r
talking from experience

Omodadi2:
Pls how did you get that car with driver?

HMMM..THEse questions about car rentals and driving in the usa is beginning to frighten me.
Pls while I may say that driving in the usa is easier than driving in naija...........it comes with its own special wahala.....
1. road signs/ speed limits/ traffic lights/going really slow on the speed lane etc......all are punishable offences in the usa, while in naija...its really not taken serious..

in naija I see some people really going quite slow, saying doing 35mph in the speed lane on the expressway...n when u r behind them...they refuse to either increase speed or go to the other lane....try this in the usa and u will be booked, a cop doesn't need to be there, the aggrieved party can simply inform the highway cops..

2ndly traffic offences come with a minimum 250 dollar ticket, and in some cases an entry might be made against your passport/visa..........

so I would advice all newbies to try driving under the supervision of an old hand for a few days b4 going out on your own.
then if you don't know/hvnt operated a maps app on ur phone b4..or a gps based navigation map...............then driving in usa would b a lot lot more difficult.........I would advice you simply do uber

anonymousmum:
Thanks. The thing is that the girl sounded so pessimistic, she said that only school fees requests had been granted, that SC had not given any PTA over the past 4 weeks.

I will probably do that, share the risk across 2 banks...thanks

WHAT BRANCH OF standard chartered was that?...from what I hv seen most front desk officers of most banks are clueless about this pta issue...
@poster asking how old the scb acct must be.....I don't really know, am an old acct holder..
but I opened in stanbic 2wks ago just to hv a plan b,.....will apply for pta in stanbic next wk.........fingers crossed, hope they don't pull the 6months old acct isshh

anonymousmum:
So after opening account and going through the wahala, Standard Chartered is saying I must prefund my account ...which they will debit whilst they go and bid at CBN...PTA not guaranteed still.

Me no likey because if I get in another bank, my money would have "hooked".

Looking at GTB and Stanbic as my focus areas...will update the house...

intend to go the standard chartered bank route, and my acct officer assured me of high chances of being given...just that it takes 10 working days...he also mentioned the prefunding issshhh.

u may consider hedging ur bets...ie try 2k from scb and try the other 2k usd elsewhere..............ie prefund/request only 2k from standard chartered bank.......

yeah, the ncomella dude appears to be an unserious person, was really interested in the biz, but his lack of concise answers to serious enquires has turned me off.......
this fellow below appears a lil more serious.........but asking for 40k for a feasibility report....optional though

Hi all,
To God be the glory, entered Dallas via Atlanta with Delta airline on mar 26 @ 34wks.Poe was a breeze, no major questions, no correspondence asked for. I'm here with hubby and 2kids. Hubby was just asked what he does and why we were there. He also asked how far along I was and then stamped us in. No agriculture or 2nd check point. Also anyone looking to get PTA, try standard chartered. I got 4K from them. Any moms in Dallas , pls pm , so we can keep in touch.

PLS IS IT THIER HEAD OFFICE or any of their state branches?...also did you hv to apply via email 2weeks before you went to collect.
3rdly...did they insist on giving the pta 1 day to ur travel dates? or was it anytime

chloe7:
when I flew a few days ago Emirates had the usual 8:30pm flight that was moved to 9:30pm, cheers

THANKS to all beautiful, awesome mamas for the deluge of information.
I love the friendship and helpful info we give to 1 another on this thread
hv decided to give emirates a try.
though from my itinerary, flight leaves 2.30pm

DEPARTURE: LAGOS, NG (MURTALA MUHAMMED INTL), TERMINAL I - 09 MAY 14:50
INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL
ARRIVAL: DUBAI, AE (DUBAI INTL), TERMINAL 3 10 MAY 01:15

take heart @guccioluwa,
may God granmt u comfort.
thanks to all for the tips n advice...
guess I will stick to emirates, heard many horror stories about Turkish airlines, bad treatment of Nigerian pax, lost baggage etc, I no fit shout.

@leaky tribe, saw the 30kg on their website, but I hv dug deeper now, and hv seen 2bags of 23kg each.
thanks for the quick response.

did you use Dubai connect...? how was the experience...was it worth it?.
pls confirm the carry on baggage policy, can 1 carry a laptop bag + a small briefcase/box?............some airline allow that flexibility, but arik is notorious for insisting on only 1 carry on bag/laptop bag.

hv u flown united?...how wud u compare united and emirates service/inflight entertainment?.............wud hv preffered united since its a direct flight, but its quite pricey!

PLS MAMAS THAT HV FLOWN EMIRATES lagos to Houston, how was the flight....especially the waiting time, going to Houston is 7hrs wait time...wch is far, but on the return leg...the wait time is about 14hrs!..........I heard about Dubai connect, has any1 used it here?...any tips/tricks...or something to b wary of...

2ndly I checked baggage allowance and can see only 30kg for economy seat!.....am assuming this is a single bag of 30kg?,....abi its 2 bags of 30kg each?
hv never seen an airline stating 30kg n single bag too

I blv they hv free wifi at the airport lounges in Dubai?

am not surppoting any doc or hospital, but my tak e is....you have been trying to concieeve for 4yrs plus.....n its assumed you hv visited various docs/hospital in the course of the 4yrs plus, and then age isnt also on ur side...assume the female is 33yrs plus.........no specialist ivf center would want to keep playing around doing tests,..n trying to boosting sperm.
its straight ivf sharp sharp!!!.

similar scenario played out for me when i went to georges lekki, was tired of doing tests, n nothing found to b the cause of the infertility, thus when the doc was advicing for ivf...i rush am with 2 hands,,,cos na ivf carry me go there.

same scenario will play out if you go to a non ivf specialist center........they fit do tests, n sperm boosting for 6months or more b4 either u urself will use style run...or they would advice u stylishly to try ivf...

@people that said doc emeka doesnt like money............could b true.

at georges...the docs stick to preparing u for ivf, and leave the money chasing/bill settling to the admin people....so even if u attempt to discuss money issues with the doc, you will b kindly refeered to the admin/accts people.....
that to me is professionalim
