Family › Re: Please Help! My Marriage Is About Crumbling by Taal17: 9:22pm On Aug 19, 2020
Sadly it's her body thats taking the brunt of these challenges, she may just be fed up.
Having 4 miscarriages pre-2018 is hard on any woman. Even though the foetus isnt viable you still lose a child. Its like losing a child four times before you even got to know them.

Your wife may need counselling, please dont let your need to have a child override your obligation as a husband to have empathy for her case.

Her being a nurse is irrelevant - I know a doctor that hates needles

Back to the polyps, I doubt it is the reason for her inability to conceive of late. I suspect they suggested removing it because its causing her to bleed, intermenstrual bleeding will make her weak and possibly aneamic.
I say this because if you remove the polyps and still conception does not happen - what next.

Please go for a consultation with a good fertility clinic that has counselling, there is a thread in the Health section for those Trying to Concieve you will find many couples there with similar challenges. They could recommend clinics and provide emotional support for you and your wife

Hello everyone,

Please any news on how soon international travel will resume in Nigeria? For those with UK visas, how can they travel to UK with the current absence of international flights in Nigeria?
Thanks.
Repartriation flights return leg

Most are run by Ethiopian or Emirates and sometimes Air France ( if emirates is coming to Lagos it will say so their site)

Travel through Lome or Cotonu ( book flights through Air peace to Lome)
Cotonou go by road through Idiroko Sango route. You would need to ensure that the flight to the Uk you intend to board leaves from Cotonou airport. So planning your journey needs to be alongside flight availability and departure. You need a Covid PCT test. NCDC has approved testing centres in Nigeria. SYNLAB is one - tests are about N52400 try their ikeja office else check their sites for details.

Resumption of flights in Nigeria would likely be in September so depends on how long you have to wait., bare in mind if you go to the UK you need to self quarantine

Thanks for your time and kind advice @mimilyrics.

The scholarship covers tuition fees, maintenance stipend and approx £4500 pa towards accommodation. Do you think I can easily find accommodation suitable for a family of 4 with £4500 for a year?


Similarly, is it possible that I apply for visa with my family but we plan that they will join me months after I settle (like 3 months after I settle)? Thanks again.
Do you think I can easily find accommodation suitable for a family of 4 with £4500 for a year? Nope.. that under 400pounds a month which is low for the number of ppl in your family . You would need at least a 2 bedroom flat and the amount above wont cover electricity, water, internet, cable bills. Flats should come with white goods but they may not come with furniture so you would need to budget for that as well as clothes, bedding, shoes, kitchen supplies and what nots. You can get these things at thrift stores but it still comes at a cost, besides children in a new environment are difficult to control when it comes to Daddy buy this for me.
Then since you would need more food cos of the kids plus transport fare (its not free depends on age of your children) then adult transport fare.
Then schools for them including school uniforms ( hopefully the schools could be a bus away from your place of residence) if not then you would likely need to rent a car. Remember your spouse working is a plus for you however if your kids are young then they will close school early say 12/1pm and since they cant get on the bus themselves you would have to pick them up. If you're late it is a fine from the school. Then there are extracurricular sports and other activities that children will be involved in.

So if your spouse is coming with you then thats a lot of juggling with the children so she may not be able to look for a job for a few months. I say this incase you are looking for a way to supplement income through her.

OP

You see this format is the same every time

The ONLY reason it works is because they play on the mood and tempo of the people. They feed off DESPERATION
You need to understand that there is NOTHING urgent about travel
There is NOTHING mysterious about air tickets
All these bogus claims of helping other people
Have you wondered why the same ppl who claim to 'help' others relocate are sitting pretty here in Nigeria. Despite all your reluctance they still pursued you till you paid money. YOU and others like you are their business - you are their source of livelihood

Its the biggest CON ever.
Just 600,000 from you alone then there were 26 of you
And because you keep insisting that they are your childhood friends? So? Even blood siblings, sons, daughters scam each other so who is childhood friend?

Stop being DESPERATE and focus on building your skillset.
If you had borrowed that money and INVESTED IT IN YOURSELF AND SKILLS jobs would have been looking for you.

listowell:
grin They fit kick ur app down the road.
Nope.
after following the procedures online with NO ERRORS please, go straight to SERVICOM at the immigration (very important). If you go early, say before 9am you will very likely capture that day.
If after 2 weeks your passport doesn't come out then go to their twitter page and report. You'll have it back quickly.
Ikeja or Ikoyi.

Remember its immigration so need to shout or make noise there, simply say you're going to servicom desk - the officer there will respond to you. They all have name tags so its easy to report them after the fact. Once you have fulfilled the things servicom asked you to do, they will direct you to the appropriate offices one by one till you get to the capturing room. You will carry your file (the one given to you by servicom officer) yourself to each desk that's necessary. For future reference note the number on your file in case your passport is delayed
Mine took 5days (even in this lockdown)

Hi, You don't need to know any passport officer to obtain a new passport. Its pretty straightforward when you diy. Visit the NIS website, complete your registration, make payment, print and get all documents ready and proceed to servicom unit in Ikoyi or Ikeja if you're in Lagos.

This diy will save you lots of money... Cheers

I can't sleep anymore and sometimes I don't even remember to eat until after a day or two at times and don't feel notice until I feel too weak to get out of bed. I hate to go out too except its extremely important. I get very angry for no reason at my self and destroy or set my belongings ablaze. Am loosing touch of my business and my sales girls are looting me dry and I don't seem to care.

Thank you for the update. Please can you help with how I can book a VISA appointment because on their website after I filled the form and submitted. A prompt came up that " There are no appointment dates available". Although I chose the Lagos consulate in my DS-160 form. I called their Customer care line and the man that answered me said "for student visas, I should get the email from their site and send them a request to book an appointment for and expedient VISA." I checked the website he asked me to visit but I did not see any email address on their page. What should I do now?
Sir,

There are only 3 or 4 basic emails for Lagos consulate which I got from their site


If your inquiry concerns a nonimmigrant visa case, please send your email to LagosNIV@state.gov
If your inquiry concerns an immigrant visa case, please send your email to LagosIV@state.gov
If your inquiry concerns American Citizen Services, please send your email to LagosACS@state.gov
If your inquiry concerns a student visa, please send your email to LagosStudentVisas@state.gov

Just put subject as EXPEDIT VISA APPOINTMENT
The body of the mail should just have your specific details (no story like you put up here) . Pls dont mention anything about stipends or SSN .
State your name , school details course and your spring resumption and request expedite . If they need more information they will ask

Dear VO,

I recently got an admission to a school in the USA. I have been in Nigeria due to the Covid-19 situation. My school is to resume this fall which I have already selected the virtual class option. I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship (TA) role and was assigned a Supervising Professor (SP) with a monthly stipend starting from August. I got in contact with the Associate Dean concerning my work by August virtually which was okay by my SP as he was also planning to have his classes virtually this fall and we will be assisting him remotely too. My Dean got in contact with the Director of the International Student office and they got to me by email stating that I cannot resume work since I am not in the USA. They also stated that since I do not have my SSN yet, there is no way I can be on-boarded as a TA since I am a new student. That a new student can only get an SSN if they are in the USA. Also that I do not have what is required to get my I-9 process.
The contract I signed with school stated I resume work as a TA this fall. My stipends are going to be held until I resume work which my Dean is now proposing by Spring semester. I contacted a friend who informed me I can get my social security number while I am still in Nigeria. That once that is sorted I should contact the Dean again and inform him how passionate I am about resuming work this fall. Since my assigned class for the fall is going to be an online/remote instruction.
Please, is it possible I can get my SSN while I am still in Nigeria as a new student? I checked out their website but I saw a lot of confusing options. But my friend was certain I can get it if I contact them. How do I go about this?
Thank you VO
VOs are not here anymore, they used to be but no longer responding to messages on NL
you cant get your SSN when you're not in the country. You DONT have a student visa neither have your entered into the US.
Wait for spring semester as they have advised - hopefully before then you can get your student visa and travel
In the meantime go ahead and book US visa appointment, I believe abuja dates are open from November pending when visa services open fully.

I doubt if it is about Nigeria and the fact that they are not handling the virus well. It is bigger than that. VFS resumed office resumed services for different countries already, UK has announced resumption too. In my opinion, US are only using the situation to delay Visa services. If not, what of the numerous countries that are 'handling the Virus well', NZ for example. A lot are doing well with respect to their curves and routine Visa services have not resumed yet. Truth is Nigeria will continue with this trend for a while, I dont even know if I should call it a trend
N.B the notice from the link posted previously are on other embassy pages too, including US embassy in UK. I guess they are tired of people sending them emails to ask questions and also flooding their social media pages with questions
Uk visas are different process - no inperson appointments. Public doesnt interface with the Consulate at all. You submit documents to a 3rd party and your documents are scanned/mailed to even the UK sometimes. The only interview you could have done for a visa to the UK was a skype style interview at TLS office.

VFS and TLS in Nigeria pretty much had social distancing pre-COVID-19 so they can resume services easily.

US is a totally different process if your country doesnt have a visawaiverprogram with them then you will do in-person interview outside the US. Even within the US those adjusting status have to sit in for in-person interviews - they need the in-person to suss out applicants reactions and demeanour. They dont trust your documents to be genuine and wont base too much on anything you submit.

Nigerian government decides.
Nope, untrue.
Consulates/Embassies open at their discretion based on their own assessment of local conditions

They are already running on minimal staffing because a good number of staff and their families have been evacuated, so till those persons return or come back then routine services can not be conducted.
Bare in mind that consulates have many Nigerian staff as well some of which have contracted corona too
Absolutely nothing to do with Nigerian government - commercial flights have not become routine so why would routine visa services become routine.

Unless you are called for an interview during this period because it is considered an emergency then Id say chill till late August/September by then open skies will be more routine.

When airspace opens up internationally then you can expect the rest to start
