jidex001:

You don't have to wait for 8hours, simply tell d ticketing and reservation officer. That I can't wait for eight hours. Except if that d only flight available.

This is not a bus that you tell them what you want. Every flight time is been scheduled, is left for you to browse the airlines and their time that will be convinient for you. if you want direct flight to US you will get, but arrange a huge some of money. Airmaroc according to people is cheap with less time than Qatar airways.But i flew via Qatar cause i dont wont to settle for the cheapest and i dont knw what their disadvantages is like.

daddykelly:
8 hours is a long time to wait..and you can't move around since you don't have qater visa,but the waiting is worth it.

the time is indeed long. you can walk around the transit hall, they serve free dinner meal there and one can buy things there as well but with us dollar.

Thank God for journey mercy! Please I'll like to know the cost of flight to NY. Planning to take off soon

There is no specific price fare for flight ticket to NY. Each airline has its own price. i will advice you to browse the net (wakanow.com) and search. but Airmoc and Qatar seems to be the cheapest.

Congrats once again brother.
Can you please let me know the cost of that flight and how long it took you to wait at Doha.
Thanks.

It cost me 147000naira at their VI office Eco bank building lagos. The Price of flight ticket floctuates and it all depence on the day you will be travelling. We spent like 8hours in Doha before transiting to New york. To say the truth,the waiting is not funny at all, you will sit on a chair for the 8hours and restricted to jst the arrival and transit hall arena. May be you should try AirMoc, cos i think is cheaper and they spend less time to arrive new york. The only thing Good i see in Qatar is that thier services on Air is good and their planes are new.

Landed safely to JFK Airport New York. Its really an exciting journey but spent alot of time cos i flew Qatar airways and it flew to Doha first before heading to New york. U.S. immigration officers dont joke at all.make sure you keep your yellow envelop in your hand luggage cos they do serious checks before letting one in. This place is indeed God's own country.Every where is just shining with lots of lights.Many thanks to all forumite..

gunners4u: Pls mr temmy come to my aid. Am i good 2 go wit my birth certificate with npc bt short form

My friend, calling Mr Temmy to come to you aid will not help you, Temmy gives information he feels is right cos it worked for him. why not take you time to read your appointment letter and carefully follow the instructions and do what you think is right, so that you won't blame anyone for your negligence. Anyway we don't pray for negative tesmonies here.

gunners4u: I dont hav delaration of age. Pls who hav pass through d interview should enlight me on dis. Where can i get d long form becos dis short form is NPC

You have to understand these and don't panic ok. National Population Commission issues birth certificates for those within the age of its establishment, but if you have been born before the establishment of NPC you will be issued an attestation certificate that requires an age declearation from any highcourt. Meaning if you are born from 1992 to date you need NPC birth cert and before 1992 you need NPC attestation which will require an age declearation before issuance.
By my understanding the word long form and short form talks about the informations contained in it not necessary the size of the paper.normally, the birth cert from NPC is short in size while the attestation cert is long in size but they all contains thesame informations.

Abimbola80: Hello house, I have Birth certificate issued by church since birth and I have been using it since I was born. i even used the same certificate in University, will be acceptable for the interview or it is a MUST to get another one issued by NPC? Pls advise

I thought that the issue of NPC birth cert has been trashed out earlier in this forum. Anyway if you ask me, i will say go with the one you have provided it has all the necessary information, but if you have money, stil back it up with the NPC birth cert. theres no harm in doing that, i did that and it worked for me. Its just part of adequate preparation.

surveyProf:

what if one has the normal birth cerificate issued by a missionary hospital, will dis not be okay?

To be sincere i dnt know what else to tell you other than to go get the npc birth cert and rest your mind, or you use the one you have. In my own case, i have a birth certificate issued to me at birth time by the teaching hospital where i was born but to avoid had i know, i stil went ahead to get the npc birth cert. During my interview,i submitted all i came with and the lady took the npc birth cert. one thing we should know here is that what works for one may not work for another, so prepare as much as you can and commit everything to God's hands.

look4all: Please is it necessary 4 somebody with the local govt birth cert issued in d late 70's to stil get d NPC

It will cause you nothing to get the NPC birth cert in addition to the one you have. My take is for you to get all you think you would need to avoid regret.

blessedisrael: hello house,when i filled my dsp form i filled waec but i want to use my neco (2 sittings)instead cos my neco is better than my waec and there's also an error in my date of birth in my waec cert.secondly do i need to provide the two testimonials from different year and schools or one testimonial can cover both?

Everything you filled on dsp230 form must be provided to them, otherwise they will assume you claimed what you don't have. its better you go get an affidavit in respect of the error. Testimonial not necessary.

Leripa:

Each time I come online and still see people insulting themselves here, I get disappointed. A lot has been said that we should forget our misunderstandings and move on with the reason why we are here.
One thing I always emphasis is that, that we are faceless on here today does not mean we can never come in physical contact with each other. I have decided not to be a part of this issue again but later have a change of mind.
We aspire to become a leader in life. Is this the way we are going to lead when our time comes?
What gains are in insulting each other's personality? Remember the world is watching and this so called "misunderstanding" has made some good people to remain guests on this thread.
Once and for all, and to all that the matter concerns (I don't want to mention names), let us all shelve our grievances and embrace peace. That is hwen this thread will move forward.
Thank you very much for having a change of mind and God willing, we shall all have a cause to share positive testimonies here.
God bless you all.


You have spoken well. To say the truth, i use to be a guest for months but joined when i started seeing mearningful comments. what most people don't know is that the world reads our comments here and this site portrait's nigerian. I thank all those that share with me the joy of my interview success may God bless you all.

Ibracadabra: Good day folks... I'm planning a trip to Lagos- so I have my medicals and do d police report there. Because I don't live there, I'm making inquiries from some of you about a few things so I plan my trip well. My interview is in 4 weeks from now. I want to know how long (on d average) it takes to get d medicals and police report done... If I go to lag 2 weeks to my interview, would it b too late to get everything (medicals n police report) done in time? Or is it advisable to just go now... Making two trips would tell on me financially- so I'm trying to- proverbially speaking- kill 2 birds with a single stone...

What do u advice is d best course of action? Go now or wait a week or two?

Thank you for your usual assistance

my candid advise,go now the earlier the better cos alot of people come for same u.s. visa medicals both nonimmigrants and immigrants like you, and there are only two approved hospital for that.it is first come first serve using tally number. for police report no much problem but will still advise you to do it now as well so as to rest you mind till the interview day.
