favoredgal: Cash back my cash back!!!! ![]() ![]() Money order too was also stopped... As for catching paranoia, not at all, I saw a thread where a poster commented that "one kind of transaction" was going to be stopped cos it is/was an oversight on their path & it was indeed stopped.... As for rates manipulation?, naaahh! not buying it.. it is only loopholes I'm referring to... |

Meeracle: You can continue with the food like mashed potatoes, mashed beans, cereals and similac advance or you can try Nan or Aptamil . They are equally good as long as your babies are not rejecting them. All the best dear. |

Chizee02: She went this month and I used statements from 3 weeks ago. They will usually check for the flow of fund into the account. I don't know how I will defend a black market rate if quizzed on it. So I stuck to the official rate as I am officially going to exchange fund irrespective of the 'wonders' these banks are performing. If you or your hubby works in certain companies, they will probably not look at your financial statements as the companies speak for you. 2 Likes |

dyout: Lol. I know na. I was a 'star' in El Paso. How long did you wait? Why don't you order online. Or ask them at the County (via phone call) if it is possible to have it mailed to you in Dallas. 1 Like |

KDK: Ok thanks a lot, my hubby is a hotelier and that's his sole biz for now. He will be sponsoring the trip though I will support with the little savings I have. He says he will get his statement few days before the interview, me I will get mine too. My salary account and that of the savings with like 6 months payslip from my office. Maybe I will also stick to ur own rate cos that 250 makes the budget so outrageous. Didn't know they don't bother abt the current rate. My interview date is 14th of next month and I was relieved to hear ur wife was heavy when she went for hers cos I will be 35wks then ![]() |

So he asked about my toddler' passport stamps her in for 6months nd said I shld wait for further inspection I said ok.. fast forward to the inspection room pple re much nd learnt some has stayed for 3hrs I said wow!!! ND before u knew it I spent just an hour nd left those ones I met there nd in my very eyes they sent one nija mama with 3kids back ooo d woman begged nd pleaded they bluntly refused ooo nd connect her with available flight. I went to d rest room to kabash more nd as I was stepping out my name was mentioned so I took my hand luggage nd boom!! I was in the officer's front nd he asked where I was goin I said Houston he said ok for wat mam I said childbirth he said I dnt understand I said ok delivery of my baby as I'm pregnant he said he asked wat I told them at d embassy I said dsame thing he said ok, so how do u intend paying I said I've paid doc's fee nd part payment hospital fee nd that I've my credit card nd hubby will b around before delivery he then asked if my toddler was birthed here I said Nop he said can I proof it thank God I came with her birth certificate so I gave him he then typed nd typed nd typed nd asked aw much I have with me nd I said 4000$ nd then he said ok mam make shure u keep ur baby's receipts nd hold them anytime ure travelling.

Travelled at 35 weeks armed with plenty documents. No body asked for fit to fly and me sef hold ma mouth till I was sitting on ma preselected aisle seat. Fast forward to ATL Poe, see people!

Scanned visa, clicked away to the questions,scanned my fingers and got print out. Enter line to see border control officer. Was praying not to fall writhe stern looking elderly man looking over his glasses but I finally landed in front of him instead of the young dudes Me: hello Poe officer: hello mam, why are u in the U.S. Me: on this particular visit, to have my baby Officer: I didn't hear a word u just said Me: I said on this particular visit, I am here to have my baby Officer; where will u be staying Me: in Houston Texas.

Peebles23:@Nogen,@modath@burrito thanks for comments. But really they treated everyone equally there was this newly wedded couple in my front they are from Turkey they requested for something I think a pack bag or so nd the airhostess turned down their request ooo saying she can't give as it's for the airline. ND they were both speaking same language. ND after landin on our way to exit they asked another crew member a guy who turned them down. Mayb thatz y I said they aren't as racist as we think or they've corrected them on how to manage non citizens #thinkingoutloud. ![]() |

Peebles23: If you check Linda ikeji and this NL recently, you will see a lot of complaints about Turkish, but av noticed it's mostly on the return leg and has got to do with damaged and missing luggage. I flew them in 2014 to NY and it wasn't a bad experience but the complaints about them nowadays is too much

Refund with arik? Hmmnn..its best you just manage to fly back with them cos the refund amt will b less than N30k. I used them when I went to give birth. On my return,wanted to change to Virgin so I asked for a refund. They said since its voluntary,then they will charge for it and also take out taxes. When I asked how much I wil get,it was like N20 somthng and virgin ticket was like N500k. I just closed my eye and flew back with arik o and swore never to fly them again both local and int'l. jayjay4lyf: |
