I called a staff who says Abuja FBN ran out of d cards. To be supplied next wk. And strictly for Account holders.

omoba88:
Hi everyone,

FYI first bank is giving PTA at 338/$ to be loaded on a prepaid Visa card. Interested peeps should talk to their account officers but I think they made it open to everyone so talk to someone you know working with the bank.

loudlumi:
Morning mums and all,

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who has posted their experience and relevant information here, it has literally given me hope and belief. That I also would come here giving account of our successful childbirth application and delivery.
2. In a situation where I can not go along with my wife, can my mum apply along with her (she has a 2 year visa expiring April next year ) by renewing her visa and stating she wants to accompany her daughter Inlaw for child birth?

God bless.

Let me suggest she travels shortly before her visa expires as she will still be stamped 6 months. If possible, whether or not u have family, she can travel March and if asked at d airport, quote vacation - which is what it is. Of course she may travel alongside ur wife but thats one less visa application to worry about.
Others can chip in. Cos I learned both from here and outside here that u can enter USA even with visa expiring tomorrow. Saves u money too.
All the best!

Dollar Rain!
Ayam still waiting for this reality. As CBN gov announce yday dat d worst days are over!
Abeg,epp me wit info on dollar rate today.
Thanks!

Record Breaking Silent Readers!
Just wanna Hail some special pipo here as I just saw a silent reader worthy of emulation!
Registered 2005. Total posts 15. Na dis kain pipo I dey fear in Uni those days
Dayum!

Yes pls try wit iPad or laptop. I've always searched on United.com &never saw very High quotes. Only problem is u need to pay wit dollar enabled card. I don't know wot u'll be charged if u use naija card.

Dwebb55:
Try and book on Qatar with your laptop. Sometimes, your mobile device isn't compatible with their website and you'll get better results if you do so from a laptop!

Yes. Skye bank @ Gimbiya Str. Just at d corner. If u can carry ya belle go,better for u o. I also went on friday. Dey say make I com super early monday.
I didn't open any acct & u dont have to unless dey changed rules after I left dat Friday. Those Skye bank pipo are tricky. Dey will sneak & giv clients d Travelex acct number to make payment without travelex inspecting dem documents. Thinking it will force travelex to giv dem PTA but One travelex staff vex say she must refund dem Their money. It was a serious offense. So pls,make una follow due process. Be there by 8am wen dey open & dey display ur belle per second! sorry,it comes wit d pregnancy tag.

You can also apply for BTA ($5000) if u submit copy of CAC reg certificate of ur company. I did dat wit Access Bank but yet to hear from dem!

superdoll:
Congrats dear.
Please which of der locations in abuja? Is it d area 11 skyebank? Did u have to open d savings acct? DH ws der on Friday and dey asked dt he returns on Tuesday because dey hv a lot of pending requests and dt he will also open a savings acct wt skye bank.
Kindly assist as my travel date is so close and I hv not made any headway with d's forex hustle.
Thank you

Finally! I just got $4,000 from Abuja travelex after 3hrs+. I used my ticket & paid cash.
To God be all glory!

TripleKMama:
I'm succeedin wit Travelex. Abt to pay. I'll only do $4K. A bird at hand @ N356 is worth more dan N345 in AccessBank in 2wks. God dey
Actually applied for $5K BTA in Access so if dey giv me all or d $1K balance, i'll be glad. Still better dan black mkt.

XX01:
They do. It's a CBN requirement. They might not have gotten the whole 4000dollars from their bank so they could do the 2.

Dat makes sense. Tanks!

For those in ABUJA -
Travelex Retail Nigeria Ltd - Located in Skye bank Abuja (Gimbiya junction - area 11) is selling PTA at 356 to the USD.

Tanks a lot. U scored 75%.
I appreciate.

Juxen:
Let me attempt ur question to the best of my knowledge !

Urgent Form A inquiry.
1) Pls could someone help me post a sample of Form A here; I need to confirm some tinz therein. Sample I saw online is ambiguous.
2) Does it demand d US bank details,IBAN,etc- or does d bank contact d hosp directly on their own? As proof of authenticity.
3) Also need to know if it's standard across board or differs wit banks.
4) Thanks!

Lol @ Nerf.
@Leleti sorry abt d fall. Me too nearly slipped same Saturday. Rain was heavy too. I held so tight to d rails. Quick recovery pls. If d pain ain't unbearable, just try and travel. Request for epidural & Hire d services of a Doula from labor to 1wk post delivery. U'll be fine.

nefertitiram:
Buy me tkt I will follow u

Free nanny

Ok I get ur point.
U'll have to stay back and deliver first. While at it, research your options. It is well wit u.

ada87:
@triplekmama thanks dear I am in the us already,I chose Dec as my delivery date cos I might be using cs,due to fibroid that the dr in 9ja said is blocking the uterus,so I am looking at 37weeks which would be December,my fear is that I already declared vacation at the POE

Sorry abt what u're going tru. However I feel uncomfortable by u calling for curses at dis delicate circumstance of urs. U ought to seek empathy and consideration. Pls it's important u stay positive so u give ur baby a chance at living a healthy & purposeful life.
Secondly, if u're 23wks, ur EDD is next year. Second week actually. So pls ensure u confirm ur dates to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Now to d main dish, Hard as it may sound, u need to use d visa for its intended purpose. But U obviously can't do d vacation now so just ensure u have everything planned as per ur own Dr, pediatric care,funds for bills, accommodation etc. If dey ask,be ready to convince dem. And pls pay all ur bills and com bak. Stamping u till march gives u ample time to sort out where u'll stay on return to naija but pls by all means,do come bak! Oyibo no dey like twists and turns. Find a close relation to stay wit who understands ur ordeal while u make room for reconciliation wit hubby. Na for better or it are worse (according to zebrudaya)
All d best dear & rmbr to talk to God abt dis if u havent been doing so lately.

ada87:
Hi all,pls I need help oh,curses would be welcomed,I am 23weeks pregnant(would be due in december)and was abused by my husband,I bought a 3 weeks ticket for vavation,but now I am contemplating staying here in the us till I birth my baby,because I don't want to go back to hubby,I was stamped in till march,pls fellow experienced mama is dis right??or what do I need to do??

Very useful even tho I didn't ask!
Dats my issue now. So difficult to reach d main Hospital which is like calling from my village to inquire sometin @ UCH
I'll just use d quotes and budget sheets I got from d Dr's office.

funtolash:
So sorry am just responding. St. Mary's didn't give me anything o. It's the doctor's office that gave me all the correspondence. Infact when I called St. Mary's, they asked me to contact a doctor.

Very well said, d devil fights a lost battle
NB. Pastor Chris & Benny Hinn will host a miracle & Healing service Oct 28 & 29. Anyone wit tough health issues can attend in Lagos or join online. Our Almighty God does d impossible. Theres nothing too hard for Him! I'm a living witness.

Whatever they find won't hamper your child's life infact it shall make him better. They say great kids are the ones who have this setbacks cause the devil knows he can't touch their destiny. Don't worry when he becomes the president or UN president you would remember that ordeal and do thanksgiving. You are a conqueror on christ.

Tanx lots for dis.
