So no one has done a drop box after a name change due to marriage ?
Let me go and sleep since my question can’t be answered�

I did, I added my marriage certificate,affidavit and newspaper publication. They rejected it initially but I explained to them.

You can buy ahead online(nycairporter.com) using your naija card,I used my Gtbank card.

funmikay:


Did you buy ticket from the LaGuardia airport or you bought ahead. If you bought ahead,how did you sort out the payment

I have used access debit card to purchase a ticket of $124 on American airline website while I was in the US. Maybe it's rejecting cos you re in Nigeria.

semilore12:
Thanks, i will give that a shot though i dont think it has to do with the limit but the airline site itself. They probably dont accept cards from naija

chloe7:
Mumzt visa fees is paid for GTB for the u.s embassy, as for limit on cards can we even use the card abroad and online for now? I'm not so sure oh

You can use it online and POS but only $100 per month.

My Girls arrived on Oct 8 at 37weeks weighing 2.6Kg and 3.3Kg,All praises belong to God. Everyone is doing great, grateful for all the info I got here.

feddy27:

Wishing other pregnant mothers safe delivery. Thanks

Congrats dear,think you left ur pregnacare in the car last week.

phummy1821:

Please mamas we are 32 weeks now and all of a sudden my feet are swollen. I am so worried because I have a 12 hrs flight on Sunday, please what can I do to reduce the swelling. Cc feddy27,sugah, ozycy.

Same thing happened to me,it was stress from preparation,just try to relax very well,elevate your leg and drink enough water. You can also check ur BP.

bissiejoe:
Hello good people,
The cheapest airline I have seen from Lagos to Atlanta is 450k with BA. I have some few questions to ask.
1. Will there be need for a transit visa?
2. There are two stops on the inbound leg of the journey, London and then Chicago, will Chicago be the POE or the final destination Atlanta?

1.You don't need a transit visa,u wil not entering London. You will be at the airport through out.
2. Chicago will most likely be your POE cos that's your first stop in the US
3. For Singleton,its 36 weeks max but u need a fit to fly from your doctor/hospital.

kingsdaughter:
The twins are doing just fine growing stronger and bigger each day. Kisses from them

Your twins are looking very nice,pls how many weeks were they delivered and their weight pls? Am also expecting twins,sorry for the questions.

TripleKMama:
Very useful. I'll be there tomorrow. Just Got my ticket now. BA. Tanx!

Pls how did you pay for your ticket?

In the spirit of giving back,Am grateful to God and everyone. Renewed my visa via dropbox last year June,used it Dec last year and now sept 2016. Sent notification of intent to the embassy and got generic reply. Got PTA of 2000$ from stanbic @362.25 and 1100 from travelex @356,very slow process.
Travelled to Los angeles with BA,Lag-London trip was good but London-Lax trip was too far for me,abeg can't try it again.

I got to the CBP officer and the transcript went thus:

CBP: Why re u here?
Me: Childbirth and Vacation
CBP: Did you inform the embassy?
Me: I got my visa before I was pregnant and sent notification
CBP: How much do you have?
Me: 6600
CBP: Who is going to support you here?
Me: Mum will be coming Later
CBP: Will take you to another officer,don't like dealing with this.
Me: Ok. We got to the new CBP
CBP: how much will your delivery cost
Me: Around $8K
CBP: That's too cheap,i have 3 kids and I spent $35,000 on each delivery.
Me: Am paying cash that's why it's reduced.
CBP: Did you notify the embassy
Me: Yes,he collected a copy and checked the system to confirm
CBP: How much do you have
Me: 6600 in cash and the the rest in card
CBP: How can you just have 6600,took me to another room,guess its secondary inspection,sat down till they called my name.
CBP: Why re u here?
Me: childbirth
CBP: What do you do?
Me: told him
CBP: What does your husband do?
Me: Told him
CBP: How much do you have?
Me: showed him,he said keep it no need and I told him the remaining is in card
CBP: How long re u staying and ask for return ticket
Me:10 weeks and showed him a copy.
CBP: he said good and showed his colleague my passport and explained everything to him, His colleague told him this is not her first visa,she has been visiting and she has her cash and card.
That was how he finally stamped my passport.
My bags were not checked,I have settled down and had my appointment with Dr Mbagwu. Praying for a successful delivery.

Am Grateful for the Information I got here.

Fruitilicious:


God bless you Sunshine21 for this info ...
So I walked into First bank Motorways Ikeja today(by faith) and got 8k dollars for hubby and I at 345, to think I applied at Stanbic over a month now and yet nothing! God bless the lovely people on this thread!

Pls are they selling strictly for account holders?

Thanks.

bouqounmie:
As at this morning, I was told the last bid(around 9am today) was N310/$1 but was N300.50/$1 as at last week when I paid.

Pls what rate is diamond bank using?

bouqounmie:
Hello dear, I was able to pay through Form a at Diamond bank last week.
They claim to give PTA only if you have an xclusive account with them. You can just walk into a branch and make enquiries.

I also went to a Stanbic bank branch and I was told I could pay through Form A too. You can also get there to find out.

Hope this helps.

Congrats dear,so happy for you. May God bless your baby.

@ favoredgirl,

48 hours starts counting the minute you check in and by 12 midnight that day, the first 24 hours has gone. That's why people complain of being overcharged by hospital.

Finally Dr F got to me by 10.30 am today and I had my very beautiful baby 12.25 pm.weighs 3.57 kg. So I have forgiven him and hope he changes for the better.

Yippee am a FTM and am so in love with my Angel.

Present captain,we thank God. I am not even going to work this week,make I rest. My own roller coaster na double double, went for scan and my babies weigh 817g and 1290g @ 28wks. One of them is smaller,so am trying to increase my intake. May God make things easier.

It's not too far from NEXT,go around 10am. There will be no traffic, most people ve been recommending the place.

tipsyjules:
abeg the hospital dey give citizenship ni? I think this FSH is about 100k for everything nor really sure sha because na my mother inlaw bin dey do the enquiries as I was too weak to go closer. So it's fair enough and the environment is very conducive.Na the distance I dey even think because our house dey almost close to NEXT .Thanks for your time dear.

Same here,twins pregnancy is wonderful,feeling their movement at both sides. Turning while lying down is another thing, May God help us

udoomama:

funny enough, 1st and 2nd trimester was actually not stressful, na this 3rd trimester I know say I get belle,I hardly sleep thru out d nite, when I lie left, lo's will kick, when I lie right, d same thing, I will just feel like am pressing them , will have to sit up.

I thought I was the only one feeling some of these symptoms. Nausea is sort of coming back,it's nt easy to stand up and lying down for me is another thing. God will help us through.

feddy27:
Time to rant

So i went for lunch break and decided to buy one yam pottage I've been eyeing for a lon time. only to get to the office after entering rain o, i couldn't eat again! one spoon I took and feels like i want to throw up and o was really hungry o...only my sprite seems to go down with me. I'm beginnig to have headache, runny nose, cold !!!!!

For some days now, I've been feelin so much pressure and my waist kinda hurts, if i stand up after sitting, i will start to leap! so i went to do scan yesterday and my baby was in cephalic presentation with face down! We could not see her face. So i was thinking, at 28wks; she's already in the birthing position? is it not too early? I feel like my waist wants to pull out, i practically have to support my bump these days! O Lord, counting down seriously to when I will stop work #6weekstogo# I can't wait honestly! I go to work really late these days; getting out of bed is a real struggle. everyone is tired of me, no one complains of my late coming again

Dear Lord, help me!

#RantOver#

Pls which site did you get the deal from?

MamaOO:


I will advise you not to buy too much diapers cos i'm pretty sure you'll get lots of it after you give birth. Just buy a few packs of Newborn and Size 1s. I already bought a lot of diapers, but that was because they have all these cheap deal sites here, so I got it dirt cheap. I got Huggies Little Snugglers and Little Movers Plus, Newborn, Size 1, Size 2 and Size 3 totaling around 750 diapers in all for $60.

But if you're gonna be paying full price, just buy a little and see what you get when the baby comes cos you cannot return them and you might not use it all.

You can use your naira denominated card but you will be charged in $.Most card limit is $1K,but Gtbank is $2K. I used my Gtbank card and was charged $1 to N330.

chloe7:
one question please if i'm paying in USD am I using a dollar card or paying usd cash into their account or paying with a naira denominated card and they take the money off the card as per usd rate of the day?

@Bisoye82 , pls I sent you a pm. Kindly reply.

My sister,i don't understand.

feddy27:
Eyyy!!!!!!!!! what is happening to ticket prices?

Tickets i saw on emirates lat week for 393k is now NGN 1,025,098 !!!!!!!!!!!!

What is goin on o

I don't think you need it. You need ur dropbox confirmation page,ds-160 confirmation page,passport photo graph,evidence of previous visa and current travelling passport. Nt sure of others.

Enyinne:

Thank God,God will sort everything out,He will bless you sooner than expected and grant your babies quickest recovery.

temyb:
God has been faithful oooo. My twins are no more on oxygen support. Saw them today and the nurses were like they are doing way too fast than their age. Before nko, I married an ijesha man not oyinbo man.
I had to scream it to them to stop calling me for medic aid am not intrested. It was later their over head boss stylishly called me to one side and it's true,I shouldn't collect it. That they are just forcing me but I should make sure I don't. At first, they were like no payment plan bla bla bla just to make me collect but when me and the over head financial boss spoke she was like sure we can work things out.
Am just trying to relax well. Please any mom still planning to share apartment around fort Worth dallas. Want to be closer to my babies. Twice in a week is not enough for me,
God has been faithful oooo,I appreciate God

@ iyabetajos Sorry for the loss,May God make you smile very soon. You will rejoice sooner than expected.

Happy Birthday and HWA dear,wishing you the very best.
