Yes it is very possible. Depending on the car rental company you use, some accept debit cards with a cash deposit before releasing the car while others accept only credit cards.
I normally use avis or enterprise when i'm on holiday and they even pick me up to collect the car.

Ferarrix:
For the adventurous ones here, i heard it is possible to get an international driving license here in Nigeria and rent a car for movement while in US for birthing.

any personal experiences ?

Yeah, you can't book Delta tickets online in Nigeria, only through their office or agents (like wakanow).

Must one have an account with the bank? If I open an account with them this week and request for PTA next week, will I be considered?

Do you and your husband have separate accounts with fidelity, or just one of you. Wondering how you managed to change 8k. Also, did u both have to be present? Or you took your passports n it was sold to you.

Thanks shimk. Will check out fidelity then. What percentage did the bank charge u for the transaction. I heard if u have an account with diamond, you are charged 1 percent of the amount you are buying, but if you do not have an account you are charged 6percent. So was wondering fidelity's rate.

Goodday All,

Please i need some information. Am 9 weeks pregnant, and i want to put to bed in US. Which is advisable, i tell the Officer during the interview am pregnant or i lie and say NO. I will be applying with my husband and daughter, we all traveled last year to UK, we were planning to go for a family vacation in US this year before i found out i was pregnant.

Secondly, please i need affordable hospitals in Baltimore, maryland or Atlanta where i can put to bed. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Pls help
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by chidaroy(f): 2:49am On Apr 28, 2015
You can either use doctorespatati or get a doctor affiliated to the hospital yourself. Most people here use doctorespatati
Nogen:
Good morning. Please , those of you who have used Del Sol Medical Centre, how did you get a doctor's appointment? Did you get to choose your doctor yourself or was it doctorparati that made the choice for you. I need to understand how it works over there. Thanks Mamas and Papas.

She needs it for the Embassy. As long as she can cancel, it shouldn't be bad. The Embassy might find it quest able if she has accomodation for few days. That was just my 2 cents. You can profer better solution.

When she books, she does not need to pay. You only need to fill in your card info. You will only be charged if you use the hotel.

You can buy the sim card on amazon or eBay. You can recharge it by calling their customer service number
