Regarding Stanbic & getting PTA, been on the matter for over a week. I did have to open an account with them but was told they are out of $ till January and don't know when in January it'll be available. So January travellers like me are in the hot seat esp considering the current $ rates knowing it will not get any better soon. Abeg to those who explored the First Bank Western union transfer...did it pan out? |

IjayMama: Please I contacted stanbic via their call centre and I was told they don't have, but from what you are saying I may have to move my funds to stanbic so I can have an account with them just in case cos DW is set to leave in feb. Please are u based in lag if yes what branch of stanbic did u go to |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by oluwafunkenny: 9:55pm On Dec 19, 2015 |
I was told by Stanbic staff that a month old account is what they can use for PTA, maybe that was why they said you should wait till January. While not explore FBN asap before they also reach their limit or CBN change policy. Access has reached theirs. @ Favoredgal, have dropped the idea of PTA for now cos I only want to go on biz. trip, I think will go for western. Union, a friend will collect overthere, credit my account while I shop online. IjayMama: |

Yello all. For those who want an app to call naija at cheaper rates, just installed Rebtel, they have a package of 250mins for $5 to call Nigerian numbers. That's like 2 cents per minute... Check it out... 3 Likes |

For mothers in US and the preggies planning to go, kindly consider getting your diaper, wipes, baby milk, cereals and so on if you can afford them at that point. Prices of these in Naija ain't smiling now, a friend couldn't get size 3 huggies for her baby girl today in my area. Thanks again to this forum for giving us estimate of diaper one will use and checklist of what to buy when coming. 3 Likes |

oluwafunkenny: That's not why. Stanbic doesn't have PTA at the moment. My husband has an over 5 years account with them. No bank does at the moment, where he no waka go on Friday. As per FBN western union who has successfully done it recently? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by favoredgal: 10:53pm On Dec 19, 2015 |
IjayMama: January travelers. Una stil get time nah. What of people leaving this weekend/ next week. No PTA anywhere, even the western union most banks are out of their quota for the quarter (at least Jan is a new quarter) Lot of uncertainties if bank cards will still work offshore once it's Jan first. Seems the only option now is to buy black market which of course is at an all time high of 280 to a dollar This are not good times to be out of the country |

Licious801: You guys knew you were pregnant as at the time of being interviewed but kept that information. Sending change of intent letter might help you if you avoid the tough poes'. These people calculate during secondary inspection to determine if u were pregnant during interview. So, stay clear of Houston and Chicago poe for your own sake. 5 Likes |

[quote author=omodadi post=41159249]Good evening all. I must confess I got a lot of information on this forum because I never had any info about this topic despite the fact that birthubg in the state is my dream. But I realised that the trend in the choice of hospitals and cities have changed over the years; 2011 to 2015. Moreso, from this forum I realised I suppose to have started the whole process before now. All I have is a Virgin naija passport, though I was supposed to go to Dubai last month but couldn't make it because hubby's visa wasn't ready till my leave days got exhausted. We only have tickets that we can amend to go if we have the time. Hi, I'm glad you took the advise and joined. You can start by going through @Phema,@tvegas , @olokings, @bjgolf posts etc You'll surely get a lot of info, don't forget to have a pen and notepad handy. All the best! |

omodadi: Well for me I don't think you must have a travel history especially when going for the interview with DH. US was the first to disvirgin my passport.I went with hubby who had a good history.He had been to France like 4 times ,spent 3months on one of the ocassions,been to Barcelona as bar a fan and so. I think if ur hubby has a good travel history,you are working,and have personal ties here,with prayer you will be given My opinion though. 1 Like |

I did Western Union outbound two weeks ago to my sister in the US with Fbn Marina branch. And there were other customers in the branch for same transaction and I can confirm that Western Union outbound is still available as at today. The only thing is that the moneygram option exhaust quickly so just go for the Western Union. There is also the Ria. Under the outbound transfer, there is moneygram, Western Union and Ria. Ria charges are the cheapest but from my calculation, their exchange rate is higher than the others. Moneygram charges is cheaper than Western Union which is why it finishes early. Was at the branch at 8:20am and was told moneygram limit for the day has been exhausted. If u r in Lagos, u can try Marina. Branch FirstBank. But please go early as there is limit for the day. favoredgal: 4 Likes |

Hi, I birthed my first in New York. united Memorial Medical center. Just go to their website www.ummc.org and fill the contact us card there. Someone from the financial department would contact you. I lost access to my email address used in corresponding with them. Would have sent their details. But they do not waste time in responding to mails. I enjoyed their service. The thing though is you won't know your total bill till you are done. I birthed through cs and the total bill for mother and child was about 7k+ round figure 8k. Although it's not inclusive of epidural. Got the epidural bill months after I had returned. So I asked for discount which they gave and I spread payment over a year. All the best. Emeraldchic: |

How's everyone doing? heard dollar is now 270 naira, with the look of things its heading to 300. I did my first missionary journey at 165. It's time to pray for our country and grace for every parent using these outrageous rates to prepare a better future for their children. Merry Christmas 3 Likes |
