neks31: Non sharing apartment is what's needed. Like a one/two bedded apartment without having to share living room, kitchen and every other living space besides the rooms. |

nefertitiram: One of the golden rules of sea freight is to ship your stuff AHEAD...at least 50-60 days before you need them. On my previous trip to have my baby, I started shopping a few days after I entered town and shipped off all the big stuff within the 1st 2 weeks of my arrival. The ship berthed in Lagos a few days before I arrived and I got all my stuff 2 days after I entered town. So basically all the Diapers, wipes, clothes from 6 months upwards etc and all the other heavy stuff I bought was still right there on time, despite taking about 50 days to ship from Houston to Lagos. The smaller & more urgent stuff, I air freighted and it arrived days after I got into Lagos. The rule of thumb is basically to just plan to buy your stuff well in advance & sort them out into the heavy or light weight category. That's what will determine what you can carry with you on the plane, air freight or sea freight. All 3 options have worked well for me sha because I bought diapers, wipes etc that my kid used to up till like 15/18 months and it saved me a lot of money in the long run. 5 Likes |

Also for shipping things y'll can try 'ship to my door', they charge per pounds and they are also affordable, you get your things at your door step in Nigeria. nikkygal: 2 Likes |

Enyinne: Extremely incorrect, false and wrong. The intent is to deceive the VO, which is what we preach against on this forum. So what do you fill in the section of "Have you ever been denied a visa"? Never? no? 2 Likes |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by BBSweetheart: 4:54pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
oliviah10: @ Olivia, I have read several post on previous thread about how people were refused Visa because they used Doctoresparati's letter. The VO claims they are just middle men not doctors. others have advised that you use a letter from another doctor/hospital even if you dont intend to use them or ask Doctor Espariti to provide you with a letter from Del so (The Delivery Hospital). Someone mentioned they now provide that at an extra payment of $100. |

Yeeepaaaa!!!! Which means the next applicant na for the next window...OLUWA oooo. Then I remembered someone on this thread said you can stand up to use the toilet then come back...
