Visa is $300 with Tanko.
Yea I also read about the $40 postage cos the Ambassador is in Dallas now.

I really don't know the details,just got the email.

omodadi:


I think the promo is for May trips right? I booked today and only got for DH. The lady said I can't get as I'll be going earlier.
Though I only had to use her cos we have pending tickets with Etihad, so we just added some money.

Hi everyone and how are u all doing? I opened stanbic bank acc yesterday. Checked out black market which was 304 as @ yesterday. Praying seriously it falls or they lift PTA b4 2 weeks time since am leaving in 3 wks time.
I got our tickets yesterday for me, mum and my twin girls. Lufthansa from abuja to elpaso 1,167,224 for all of us. 2 adults and 2 children
I pray God perfects the rest of my plan especially dis whole dollar craziness.
Please, to ask some questions.
1) How long does it take to get reply from embassy when u send notification of intent cos I intend sending it a bit closer to my travel time.
2) El paso mama's do u pay to make a reservation with in town suites.
3) What is the best network to use in el paso. International calls to nigeria friendly network.
4) Del so hospital told me they don't send prices via email. It was only coveyed vocally though I will be using UMC. I have doctor's letter. Is it very necessary to have email from hospital as well. I have email from UMC but the doctor that sent me correspondence is affiliated to del so hospital.
5) My flight goes via houston. Am scared shaa but God dey. I have 3 hrs 45 mins lay over only b4 proceeding to el paso. Hope I won't miss the flight since am with kids and I dnt know if lufthansa puts u on another flight if u miss ur flight cos of immigration.
6) I couldn't book for wheel chair cos they guy said it could trigger suspicions like if I was really fit blah blah blah...
7) Hope its no much stress with Lufthanss to add infant and hope its not too expensive either.

Thanks everyone and Sorry for the jamb questions. I love to type and sometimes I loose track of how much I have typed. Pls, am still waiting to collabo with mama's with birthing itinerary like me. Expectant mama's due in March. Elpaso bound... You can email me shaa on emeldamicheals@gmail.com

Hi. I suppose PTA is still being sold by stanbic so you need to apply and then wait 2 weeks. However also try other banks, you just might get lucky.
1) i suppose it should take about 48hrs? i really do not know. However there is no harm in sending it in now.
2) No u do not pay. just reserve online and pay on arrival
3) Simple mobile or Ulta mobile last i know of
4)hmmm, why UMC and not Del Sol? entirely your choice though. umc is a teaching hospital and del sol is private. So, larger delivery suites at del sol than at umc. Also, umc is quite a distance from intown suites where you intend to stay.
A lady who was registered with umc went into labour when i was there and couldn't make it to umc and had to go to del sol. ended up paying del sol more since she didn't register prior to delivery and so was not entitled to the discount. Umc refunded some of her money, about 50% but in the long run she spent a lot more.
Your letter from your doctor and any hospital letter you have should suffice as well as funds for poe
5)3hr 45mins is more than enough time for transit. If you go to secondary inspection and get delayed, then politely inform the cbp officer (s) who would notify the airline and put you on the next connecting flight. I am sure the houston-el paso leg would be operated by a US airline. check your flight ticket to confirm.
6) In my honest opinion, you do not need a wheel chair. Unless you want one. you can book at check-in or add as a special service online
7) i do not know of any airline that would not eventually issue you an infant ticket. some take longer and process may be grueling but your baby would fly in the end. just make sure to do it on time, call repeatedly until a knowledgeable person responds or ask someone to pay for it from Nigeria at the LH ticketing office.
i hope i have been able to help.

Houston peeps holla , chris on the wheels of comfty.....

Hi Blessed Parents,
Please kindly help a sis out.

I have a 2years tourist visa and have used it for the purpose. Now i want to go give birth (will send the letter on intent to the embassy before embarking on the journey) but i would love to go with my mum for ease of managing my 19month Old son and the new baby.

My challenge is that my mum has applied for a US tourist visa in December and was rejected. Part of her information in the form was that she doesn't have any relations in the US but just want to go for vacation on grounds of sponsoring herself as a caterer.

Now i want to re-apply for her but confuse on what to put in her application and how to go about it.

Please your candid advice and experience would be appreciated.

One Luv!

6) I couldn't book for wheel chair cos they guy said it could trigger suspicions like if I was really fit blah blah blah...

I guess you have a stop over in Frankfurt before proceeding to Houston.
You need the wheel chair for that transit cos the distance to your departure terminal is too long and you have kids too.
You can request for wheel chair at Naija airport while checking in.

Hello, thanks alot for your detailed answers. I appreciate. I am using UMC instead of Del so because of my limited options. UMC is VBAC friendly. Del So isn't or does anyone know any doctor that performs VBAC at Del so. That is vaginal birth after a C-section.
Do you know any cheap accomodation like intown suites but closer to UMC? Have not been able to see much online.
Stanbic told me they don't give PTA except in their head office in Lagos.
Thanks again....

Hello everyone..First bank on Aba Road, Port Harcourt is selling PTA. Though I heard they have limited dollars available and as soon as it's exhausted they 'll stop selling. Their rate is 197.50 naira to one dollar. Thought I should share with the house.

i really don't know about any accomodation closer to UMC but i am pretty sure you can scout for on arrival. you can pay intown suites weekly so you really would not lose any money while you search for a more convenient apartment downtown. i thought you mentioned earlier that your doctor is affiliated to del sol and not umc or did i read incorrectly?

@nictos after reading thru your post, from the facts you presented, I fail to see where you are confused.
Does she have a relation in the US?
Do you live in the US? No. You intend to merely birth in the US? Yes. So if that's the case, the answer she filled before remains same because both of u are visitors.
Unless she has a relative in the US and lied the ist time...
Ask a direct question so nobody speculates...

@all please who has changed dollar at stanbic recently. My 2 weeks booking na tomorrow. I am veeery afraid that its too good to be true...
