Ulio:
How do I renew my mums visa with drop box? She was asked to fill a form. We don de find d form since...not seen. Pls put us thru

You will fill the visa application form online,like everybody,the dropbox part comes up when you are about to book appointment ,they ask you a couple of questions,which will then qualify you for drop box

Pamperme:

Travelex didn't honour my friend's letter but she was able to get after much begging and involving someone that knows someone (plenty wahala).

They like i said earlier refuse to give her the dollars, they told her she would be given at the boarding gate...

They refused to give her at all or they refused to give her at their office but insisted it must be boarding gate?

What problem did they have with the letter?

Ulio:

What form are you talking about, is it the one they give you at dhl when you go to drop the passport? Or is it the printout you are expected to submit with your passport when you go to dhl ? what stage of the process are you actually? Throw more light,so that you can be advised properly

Gday NL mamas. So I arrived MD today from Abuja with BA, fit to fly was asked at check in, I gave them. Flight was good entertainment from LHR to BWI was awesome. ABJ to LHR was ok...requested for wheelchair but didn't use it. Here's my version of BWI poe

Former JJC haf port o! Congrats dear!

Ulio:
Gday NL mamas. So I arrived MD today from Abuja with BA, fit to fly was asked at check in

TripleKMama:
Former JJC haf port o! Congrats dear!

Lol.. Chai those days. Mamas here made me strong. I really appreciate and thank you all, really glad I was prepared especially after some1 some said sec inspection was certain

TOKNOW:



I disagree with you, the ticket at BA as I was told by the customer care I called amounted to 274,750 but its bank that will use their own exchange rate of 322 against BA 314 as at that day. When you book with agents, at the point of payment, it is not the same price you see at their site that you pay too.

Final payment figure is what we are weighing now I believe. Got the $845 ticket at a little cheaper than the airline's quote.The agents' price most times are some lil bit cheaper than that of the airlines. Downside is what happens if one runs into issues on the ticket purchased? The airlines got the edge there, they handle better.

Gud day everyone.
Pls I would need ur advice. For the past few weeks now have being calling virtually all the nos of hospital n doctor's I got on this thread. But responds were poor n not encouraging.

I later got 2 hospitals. Oakbend and Doctoresparati.
Oakland ask me to pay a deposit of $600 and Doctoresparati ask me to pay $150 for registration before appointment letter can be issue to me. and all of this payment will not be refundable if am not going to use the hospital.

My fear is the distance. One is 40mins to where I will be staying n the other is 9hrs .

My host promise to drive me around if and only if my hospital is around Kathy. And as I speak , all calls I made to Kathy hospitals says they don't do childbirth.

Pls I need your help.My flight is on the 14th of this month and I still don't have a Doctor, hospital nor an Appointment letter to show at POE.

God bless you as u respond. Help a sis.

If you stay at Katy doctoresperati's is out of it for you

Oakbend is ok not too far, it's in sugar land. and the dr you chose may have an office in Katy. You will go to oakbend only when you are in labor

Methodist in Houston is also close to Katy all the best

If I will advise I will day that it's best to check flight options but ultimately book directly with the airlines. It's for convenience, easy and flexibility in adjustment especially since its birthing related just to avoid stories that touch. If it's for vacation you can consider agents. I booked BA in 2 batches. Bank charged at 437 using the card and physical payment at GTB I got a rate of 314. Though second ticket was more expensive in $ it ended up being cheaper in NGN. In this era, every Kobo counts

[quote author=Ulio post=50001255][/quote]
Read the US embassy website. Read the dropbox section.
The form is the ds160. Same ds160

Understood. But then, kindly help me get a cheaper ticket than this (as shown on the munched images below) on BA directly after all your conversions are done, meanwhile, it comes to about 311.65NGN to a dollar using wakanow. Mind you, it has even increased a little above the figure I got for with better timing too
