HEADYWORLD:
This is not true, if you are going to UK and you transiting in Europe, you need a transit visa. Avoid KLM, Lufthansa, Air France.

Only Turkish air does not require transit visa, if your stop over is only one stop in turkey.
I've taken both Lufthansa and KLM to the UK, I did not need a transit visa.

Your transit there is rarely up to 4hours you don't leave the airport.. You don't need transit.
Family › Re: How Can I Help My Son Unlearn This by Taal17: 9:55pm On Sep 15, 2023
Iyaebube:
It started last two Sunday at the children's department. They were taught covering of the body as a child of God and ever since that day, my son has not remain the same again on his way of reasoning. My husband n I was all joking about it but it's getting out of hand the way my son is going about it

What he does now is he doesn't allow us especially me to wear skimpy wear at home anymore.whenever I put it on he will be shouting mummy cover your "private part" even my last baby that's not up to 2 was playing with the sleeveless top she was wearing the chest was showing immediately my son started shouting baby cover your private part. The private part he use to shout instead of another word cover your body provoked me to flog him to stop using that word cos he's just 4.

The incident that happened yesterday made us speechless was my family n I went to have a nice time because since that last two Sunday my son haven't stepped out of the house. We decided to have fun yesterday only for my son to screaming mummy see this one she or he is showing there private part. It brought alot of attention to us that we quickly ended what we came out to do.

How do I handle this issue to clear it off his head cos I have spoken n spanked him to stop but this is what he refused to stop saying n is embarrassing. Of all they where thought in Sunday school, why did he chose this one to practically implement?
Private part for a 4yr old is perfectly appropriate.

Ask your child to tell you what areas of the body are considered 'private parts'
Let him know the teaching is for him to know that those areas are for him..that why they are private. Anyone touching him in a funny there should not.
However it's his own body he should be concerned about. That's all.
Soon you'll teach him to bath himself and cream his own body.
The lesson is for him to know what's inappropriate for others to touch on his body.
It's a lesson for helping children identify sexual abuse .

Stop flogging him, just tell him it's his own body he should be careful about.

I know, but I want to stop it, she is giving me reason not to stop, that if I leave her she will die, I don't want her to commit suicide all because of me
She won't die.
Any love that threatens death is lust and jealousy.
Money you should use for your own future you're using it for someone else's kids.
You realize your wife could do the same and you'd be the first to 'throw' her out of this marriage.
Move apartment and don't tell her where you live. Pack out with no warning .
She'll threaten to tell your wife then you too threaten to tell her husband

My WhatsApp has vital information edakun
Buy a new phone. That's your best option...transfer the SIM and retrieve WhatsApp.

Whenever you get to another country you can always check for those who repair Infinix.

My good people, please I have a question. For a student who is traveling to the UK (Birmingham) to be precise, do they need a transit visa if they fly the likes of KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, etc.) since most of these flights have stop over at these destinations? I appreciate your responses.

I forgot to mention this is a student visa to the UK.
No you don't need transit visa
If you use KLM and Airfrance and your ONLY transit is in Amsterdam (Netherlands) which is KLMs base then no transit visa. If your ONLY transit is Paris (France) which is AirFrance base then you don't need transit visa.

Same should go with Lufthansa which is Germany if it's ONLY 1 transit.

Note ALWAYS contact airline to confirm. If you can get their official number in Nigeria then at least I know KLM has an official Facebook account for questions

Ethiopian Airline cost oooo
Someone suggested being prepared to travel at any time T and search for same day or next day travel.
Prices might drop since there could be last minute cancellations and airlines want to fill their seat.

We understand that but unless your 7 figures is 7million and above it isn't feasible or prudent to spend that on a holiday. Please remove saving portion out of this bonus cash.

Family › Re: Is It Possible To Board A Plane With This Condition? by Taal17: 11:02pm On Sep 12, 2023
fadilaMaikiriki:
I'm claustrophobic. So, I'm wondering if I can comfortably board a plane without having the unpleasant symptoms and experience that comes with having this condition. Please, I would like to know. Has anyone here with this condition travel on a plane before? Please, I would like to know. This has been bothering me. My heart races so hard whenever I have this thought.

Practice relaxation skills
Are you claustrophobic in a car? Planes are wider than cars. So I don't think claustrophobia would be an issue..maybe anxious about being int he air for long hours. Most planes allow you to bring devices so you can listen to music , work , watch movies,
Basically plan the hours you spend inflight


Please, I would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks.

Do I need a transit visa for this itenary,
Abuja Nigeria to Cairo Egypt to Sharm El Sheikh Egypt then to LTN London.

I think my big question is whether I need a transit visa to transit through Egypt.
If you're buying a ticket from Egyptair then no.

But why iss Egyptair taking you to London why all these additional airlines.

Besides I've never heard of LTN London airport? Are you sure the final destination is London United Kingdom cos there are Londons in other countries

Guess you wanted to reply me. I haven't found any. I don't even know where to start or where to focus on. Zero knowledge about London and all it entails. So I need someone to advise on affordable locations not too far from work however E1 out totally of consider as accommodation is too pricey there.
What zone is your work place located?
although further out means you'd have to check overground train ticket prices of it's outside London zones

Please has anyone here either:

1. Travelled to the US on vacation with their existing B1/B2 visa after submitting their application for EB1 or EB2? What was your POE experience like? Did you have to hold additional documents to prove you were only visiting?
2. Applied for a B1/B2 visa renewal after submitting their application for EB1 or EB2? Was it granted?

Any answers that can give me an idea how useful my B1/B2 visa will be after submission of my migrant visa application will be very useful please. I need to visit later in the year, but I am ready to submit my migrant application now and I'm trying to decide if i should just hold on with the submission. Note that my plan is just to visit and then come back and follow through till my migrant visa application sails through.
POE can't see any pending applications for other visa categories.
They assess on the category that you entered the US with.
Besides you haven't submitted your migrant application and you'll probably have at least one year wait before your interview.

Biko take your trip as planned and renew if it expires.

Dear friends please I need your advise.

I wish for my wife to give birth to our child in the US ( She is a few weeks pregnant, so there is enough time to strategize).
So prior to this time, in 2020 Feb we both applied for a visiting visa to the US and we were both denied. So far she has been to the UK once and myself twice with a few African countries for work.

This time I want to apply for a tourist visa alone and if am lucky and get it, she will apply independently too.

Do you guys think this strategy will work?

Any better idea will be highly welcomed.

Thanks in anticipation
Go to the birthing in the US thread
Similar posters who have done the same.

My opinion? apply together, spend time on the portal getting a date.
If you get an early date then say it's a vacation.
If the date is far then prep with evidence of birthing plans incl funds and reason for choosing US.

Hello

Thanks to all the input from so many people on this thread. I have a bit of a weird or not so weird one, I am currently in the UK with my wife and kids on a student visa, I want to invite my mum for a visit but a bit confused.

Background I came on this year on a student visa with 2 kids, I work part time as I am schooling, and my wife works full-time. I also have a brother who is schooling in the UK with graduation in November.
We want our mum to come for his graduation and then also visit her grandkids.

The issue we are having is who should apply? My brother that is graduating, he can get a letter of invitation from the school but his income won't be sufficient to cover her expenses. Or should I apply since my wife and I have combined good income and her grandkids are here.
On another note I was thinking if we should combine the reasons for her visit, provide graduate invitation from school and then my wife and I who would sponsor the trip due to our combined income, should also do a letter inviting her to visit grandkids. Would that be an overkill?

My mum is currently a pensioner but wouldn't be able to sponsor the trip on her own.
I would like the wise counsel of you all. Thank you @Ashirioluwa @giselle237
The form will ask if she has relatives in the UK, let her add your brother as well.

Then she'll add under reasons for the trip visiting you her grandkids and your brothers graduation.

You'd still be the primary person providing invitation

Please I need clarification about this Ethiopian airline free luggage rule.
Can't I use a duffel bag to carry my things? Must it be a box?
The duffel bag is lighter and contains more things and on their website I'm seeing that luggages must be a box 55x23x44 or else it won't be checked in or loaded in the aircraft or something.
Not sure this matters just make sure it does not exceed the measurements.

It's still human beings that load luggage so bulk items are a health risk to staff

@Taal17
Thanks. I've had my GC for a few years but trying to decide what to do next cos I don't see the point if it doesn't look like I'll be moving to the US in the next couple of years. I was gonna move to be with my parents and siblings however I met my husband and got married couple of years ago and he's not wanting to move to the US in the next 3 years.
Things can change and I think you may wanna speak to him about the benefits cos if you lose it and he suddenly sees the need then
E.g makes it easier to get long term visas to other countries
Access to business opportunities in the US
Medical care - for example we dont have covid vaccines right now in Nigeria so if you needed it you simply just hop on a plane
Get a job and earn in USD - inflation in Nigeria is kinda cray and with the possibility of remote work you have a number of options to earn in another currency as a way to sure up your naira


Let me just drop this here as well.... I dont think if the roles were reversed your husband would consider giving it up and I doubt you as his wife would let him do the same
