What is everyone’s take on the best PoE? There seems to be so many opinions on this issue almost to the point of legendary mythology. Consensus seems to be that JFK is the best, while ATL and ORD are terrible, with LAX and IAH in between. What are people’s current opinion on ATL? The daily Delta flight makes ATL the most convenient at the moment. Any informed opinions out there? Would really appreciate it… Is there was a poll option feature here so we can all vote on the best PoE? Thank you for your time taken to answer my question. 1 Like |

Thanks a lot for this robust feedback. This is a big challenge that people are not talking about which can affect one's travel plan. Which state are you please? So you are saying one can process the US passport in Lagos right? So can one just come home to process the US passport in lagos and travel with LO with ETC? Is the SSN now compulsory for the processing of US Passport? The last time I used multiple zeros in lieu of SSN. I'm thinking one can ask that SSN be sent to a trusted person who can then send it to one when its ready. What is the timeline for birth certificate please? Please will like to know your thoughts on these. And looking forward to hearing from other Mamas/Papas. Thank you. Zfunky: |

There is also a direct flight to New York on Delta airline since people claim JFK POE is the best. siwon96885: 1 Like 1 Share |

pointednose: Kentucky. I am not categorically stating that you can get a new passport at the us embassy in Lagos. I checked their website and it say renewals for minors, nothing about a fresh passport, I know they are making exceptions for people who travelled during Covid. I have no information about this cause I don’t know anyone who have used this route. I dropped this option because I am not sure if FIRST timers are given a us passport in Lagos. And, no you can not travel with ETC alone, ( I may be wrong though but I highly doubt you can) but I know this exception (ETC alone) was made for people during the covid lockdown period. Every individual including babies must travel with a valid passport. Having SSN is not compulsory if you do not have one, however if you already applied in the hospital and you are expecting it, given that the processing time for a us passport is now lengthy, there is no guarantee that when they get to your application and try to verify if truly the LO doesn’t have an SSN, what if by then it has been issued? It states on their website that if you do not declare your SSN and it was later discovered that you have one, your application can be delayed or denied and you even pay a penalty fee. But i think the lengthy processing time for a us passport is a temporary issue, I believe that by September/October when this rush period is over the processing times will reduce again, maybe not to the Pre-pandemic period, because before mid June, expedited used to be 4 to 6weeks and routine 10 to 12 weeks, summer period made it sky rocket to 12 weeks for expedited and 18 weeks for routine. For birth certificate, I think it depends on your state. I did a walk-in for this and collected it immediately, |

Thanks a lot. I also don't know if one can get a fresh passport but someone posted here about the requirements to get a new passport in Lagos which include a picture of the mother pregnant in the US, mother and child in the US among others. Hopefully, it will be clear soon. I actually know someone who travelled back to Nigeria from the US with just ETC without a passport. I was surprised to see that the timeline for the US passports have extended again from the last time I asked about it . It is well. Thanks again. quote author=Zfunky post=103397404] Kentucky.

Thanks True, like i said the only exception for people to travel with babies with ETC alone was during the lockdown period. I was on one of those flights and I was also in the WhatsApp group. Lots of mothers travelled without a passport for their LO because the Nigerian embassy arranged the Ethiopian flights down to Nigeria during the lockdown and there was no way people could have gotten passports for their babies since everywhere was closed down. But for now, I doubt if any airline would allow any mother board with a baby without a passport, particularly when it is not a flight arranged by the Nigerian embassy |

For Chicago, the birth certificateis out within a week while you get the SSN within 2 weeks if applied from the hospital. My applicationtracking is stillsaying within 6weeks for expedited service which does not include 6weeks of mailing. So possibly you get it even before the 6weeks but as at now back logs plenty[quote author=Zfunky post=103403111][/quote] |

Quick question. Good day all, Please whats your experience with booking flights with a travel agent versus booking directly through the airline? As per cost, ease of changing flight dates, general help and support etc. I want to go through a travel agent but mu husband is trying to book directly through the airline company. Thanks |

Congratulations on the visa! I am a newbie here and your post captures the current question on my mind. From the beginning of the thread, I have read that one should apply for a B1/B2 visa. However, I am currently filling my DS-160 FORM and I am traveling for Tourism and Child birth, not business (B2).. Should I apply for a B2 visa or B1/B2 as previously mentioned here. Secondly, please can you tell me the hospital you used previously at Houston and the costs? I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Majemitee: 1 Like |

Travel agents save you some stress of searching and searching and they communicate all the rules of the ticket to you. Also help with date change and when any issues arises, sometimes you call and call the airline without any response when its not the official hours, but a reliable Travel agent should be reachable anytime. You should consider using one. Cheers pointednose: |

pointednose: Booking directly from the airlines will save you a lot of troubles if anything goes wrong. Airlines will deal with any issue directly and issue a refund if needed but you hardly get that from agents.. Agents are just after their commission, customer service is zero 4 Likes |

Please, what is the status with people previously refused on the reason of discounted birth bill? Has anybody under this category lucky to renew recently? Was the issue raised on your interview OR you had to offset the discount before presenting for the interview? Kind response will be highly appreciated. Thank you all. |
