Pls,is there any immunization I need to give baby immediately we arrive naija. Baby is 3weeks now and we came into naija today. Pls any direction on this..

All the immunizations, you can get them from your nearest hosp but everyone I know says a local govt health centre is the best because the batches are exhausted once they are opened. Once you are settled in you take BCG (against TB) immediately you get to 9ja, then there is OPV and Penta at 6 weeks, for Rotavirus and Pneumococcal, you have to go to a private hosp and pay up to 20k for both.
You will receive an immunization card, which you must keep very safe at all times.
If you decide to use health centre, be prepared to spend the whole day waiting in line, and you should try to get there very early.

Sure you may

Account is well funded just scared of another rejection

No question about hospital or doctor and hubby was asked at my last interview and no document was checked either

At birth, you are suppose to give your baby BCG, Hep B and OPV. In the US the give Hep B, so the remaining two that's BCG and OPV should be given to baby immediately you return. The will give ur baby a card that has the immunization schedule. Please ensure your baby takes all even the optional ones, it won't make sense to spend money in America and come back and not give your baby all the vaccines listed.

Hi firsttymum, tried to send you a pm but couldn't. Just want a break down of your bills so far. Leaving for my second missionary journey in a few weeks & I'm hoping to port from Methodist Houston to Oak bend. Any details will help including the Dr you used & Pd...thanks
Also please anyone, how soon can I buy pta? Travelling early January, too early to purchase & would I be attended to?

In the spirit of giving back... I had a successful ATL POE, landed 5:38 in Atl, I used wheel chair services all the way... Please I'll advice you do so, it was stress free and everything was done for me. We got to the Poe and all of a sudden the network went down for about 1hr, then it started working and they were in a haste to pass people. It got to my turn and I was wheeled to the cbp officer, the questions are in no particular order.
Cbp: is this your first time here?
Me: yes
Cbp: how long will you be staying?
Me: 76 days( he didn't hear me well)
Cbp: why are you here?
Me: childbirth, vacation and to take my maternity leave.
Cbp: how much do you have on you?how much is in your account currently too?
Me: I told him
Cbp:will that be enough? do you have your cards with you?
Me: I said yes
Cbp: are you married?
Me: yes
Cbp:do you have kids
Me: no! I am expecting.
Cbp: so you are here to give birth, thought you said 7days and why did have you chosen the us?
Me: I said yes and I told him I said 76days and because of better medical service.
Cbp: have you lost any before
Me: yes
Cbp: have you contacted any doctor?
Me: yes.
Cbp: when are you due?
Me: told him
Cbp: where will you be going?
Me: Chicago and then Kansas
Cbp: where is the Kansas address.
Me: gave him the invitation letter my aunt gave me.
Cbp: *makes a call* stamps my passport for b2 till may 2016 and said good luck.
Me: I said isn't someone going to wheel me?
Cbp: he signaled someone and I was wheeled
No document asked.
Key is to remain calm and confident.
Thanks to everyone who suggested and adviced. Now the search for cheap hospital begins... Please has anyone driven in Chicago with Nigerian driver's license? How do I go about renting a car here? Cause the weather is too cold to stand for long waiting for a train or bus! It's snowing here!!! Cold ooh

My dear! Don't wait for them to ask you, immediately you get to their table, bring out all your documents and even if they don't ask you, offer to show them, from my experience oh! I didn't wait, I showed and I was telling him things he didn't ask and was backing it with documents...Also you can write on your form that you have strong ties and you have a good job, if you have property add it too... Then pray, only God can do it

ozycy posted the fee breakdown already. I'm still here. I'm not done with my bills. Still lamenting about one of the bills.

First of all is Bcg, it's very important. It's usually given after birth or as soon as possible here in NAIJA.

That is not a guarantee.
Prepare yourself and gather your burden of proof.
Fill your form well, and explain why you were refused on the space provided for it. Also write anything that you thing may help.

@kaylaychi and @ favoredgal Thanx a mill

@IjayMama why are you porting

hello mums. Pls can I update my BVN on ATM MACHINE FOR GTB? Pls help her

Lol...my preferred Dr who I used last year for my first baby has almost doubled his fee. So I thot i'd just try a new hospital entirely that's cheaper & Oakbend seems to be okay. Will make a final decision after I visit Oakbend tho...fingers crossed

anonymousmum:
@IjayMama why are you porting

Genieee:

I think there's a thread on BVN however you can upload it via Internet banking dunno about atm though

Yeah, saw her earlier post & figures. I'm assuming the prices may have changed & u seem to be the most recent mum there. Guess all fees remain same. Thanks

You never answered if you had used an agent for your visa application before. If yes, am sorry you may be refused again cos of possible misrepresentation but if no, fill your DS form in details. Explain why you think you were rejected 3 times and how your condition has changed.

Note that a visa is either given/not given based on information supplied in the form. A robust account may not guarantee a visa. In my case, bank statements weren't asked for. No document was asked for only my passport.

Be truthful, confident and Prayerful.

I'll try and analyze your last transcript. Brb

[quote author=olorieka post=40281078]Congrats plz can you share your transcript as I was denied in Lagos early sis month

Well wen we got there the v.o that rejected us before was the same one that out turn fell on. So we went to his cubicle nd he collected our passport nd scanned. And he said sorry I can't interview u because I've interviewed u before that we should wait for another Vo. Meanwhile I think that day wasn't a good day for all of them because they kept rejecting people they even rejected some lebanise sef. With gladness in my heart I went to sit waiting for the next Vo. So it was our turn with another v.o it went like this....
Vo- hello
Dh/ me- Hi
Vo- I see u were rejected before
Dh - yeah buh reasons not known
Vo- what re u going to do in the US if I may ask
Dh- for me vacation nd to experience the birth of my child

Me- no I've not
Vo- have u travelled before sir
Dh- yes but only around africa
vo- where do u work referring to hubby
Dh- xyz
vo- how much do u earn?
Dh- xyz
vo- kk and u mam
Me- blah blah blah as blah blah blah earn xyz
vo- I guess hubby's sponsoring the trip
Me - yes
after checking hubby's statement of account.
vo- why do u want to birth in the us?
Dh- After the bad experience of delivering the first child here in Nigeria I promised her she will get the best medical treatment nd experts on delivery of the second child in the US, so this is me trying to fulfill my promise (with smiles on hubby's face) of course the vo replied with a smile too.
vo- have u gotten a doctor? Can I have the correspondence that if u have any
Dh- of course! Showed him, along side with receipts of half payments of both hospital nd doctor's fee. Including budget sheet and appointment letter with doctor.
vo- I see ure prepared and ready to keep ur promise with smiles.
Dh - oh yes replying with a smile.
vo- y did u choose this hospital and the doctor
Dh- a friend recommended her and the hospital is the only hospital she is affiliated to.
vo- ur friend birthed in the US too?
Me- yes
vo. Nodded and Type type and typed for like 3 min called another colleague in, off his mic while they talk so that we can't hear wat they are discussing only God knows. She left he turns d mic on again
Dh nd I speaking in tongue in our minds.lol
Vo- where do u meet asking I nd hubby
Dh nd I- smiled to ourselves looking at him nd said church (uniformly)
vo- oh I see
Vo- where did u school did u school in the US
Dh- no I schooled here in Nigeria
Vo- what does ur dad do? Asking hubby
Dh- he' a blah blah blah
vo- kk. Typed nd typed like forever...... then issued the almighty white paper.
The next news we heard was ur visa will be ready in 2-3 working days pick it up in the address filled on ur form.
Just to add this. We where the last ppl in the hall been interviewed every other ppl had left even the v.o's has closed for the day nd the ye ye vo that refused us the last time kept coming to the cubicle of the one interviewing us me I wasn't sha comfortable as if I should ask him wat he was doing there. Lol pretty hormone hubby noticed I wasn't fyn with that he was just calming me down lol buh it ended in praise. That I'm grateful to God for nd to firstymum, tvegas for encouraging moi. Nd to all my ppl that shared their interview stories so that we could learn u guys rocked! Good luck to all waiting for their own interview it will end in praise.

Peebles thanks for sharing your transcript do you think making payment will make any difference now from my previous interview

Have used an agent before for the purpose of family vacation but then no document was checked wat I notice is DAT the question that always end the interview is if have been out of the country before but hubby have been to France 3 tymes, China once, nd UK 4 tymes but hve never been out of the country before
