I haven't used Egypt air before,but i remember the responses i got from here when i asked this same question.
I was told by people who have used them,that they are an ok airline and moreover they also provide hotel accommodation for long stopovers.

Yes you can with the previous payment since you have not gone for the interview.

Fill the new Ds 160. Send a mail to the embassy to update your profile attaching the new Ds 160 confirmation and your passport data page. The email to send to is:
support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com.
You should be replied within 48hrs working time. I hope this helps.

thank you

Hi Dhollargurl

Have you applied for and received your baby's Nig passport? How did you go about it? How 'seamless' was the process?

Dhollargurl:
Okay, Atlanta consulate has started issuing passports again, but I have two questions,how do I go about the guarantor's form thingy? Also, is the letter of consent from the unavailable parent compulsory? And must it be in black ink too? Or should I just burst it and continue with the visa-on-arrival?

shawlar:

I think you should contact another doctor somewhere else; elpaso,Dallas or Atl, get correspondence form him/her and tell the VO that your plans have changed becos of the hurricane. They would appreciate the fact that you have planned ahead.

THIS IS A PSA TO ALL INTENDING MAMAS
If you planned to go to Houston in the next one month, I advise for you to just change your plans right now. It might take a while before they recover from the effects of this flooding.
For those that are already in Houston, my prayers are with you.. Stay safe

Thank you, pls do you have drs contacts in Chicago,so I could build a correspondence.

Hello,I don't think it is right to advise people to change their plans to Houston,without them doing some proper research about where exactly they are going to and how it may affected by Hurricane Harvey.

I am currently in Houston and my area is completely dry and would be attending my next doctor's(whose area is also very dry) appointment soon.

In addition ,IAH would be opened for some local and intl flights as from tomorrow,so confirm with your airlines.

Although my areas were flooded,the waters completely receded with 2 days of sunlight,and I am sure a month would be more than enough for other parts that may still be flooded.

All I am saying is please do your research and ensure that the areas you are going to stay or the hospitals are not affected in the flood. But do not cancel your plans on a whim. Thanks!

julzz:


Birth certificate $23
Passport $165
Nig visa I think abt $360/380 (can't remember exactly)
But people use visa on arrival now that cost $190
Ticket depends on airline

Thank you very much.

I just landed in George Bush, it's open. Headed to my hotel now!

Hello Nairaland family,
I was delivered of a beautiful baby boy exactly one month ago.
I thank God for everything
As a first time mom, it hasn't been easy posting updates as I've had to nurse every now and then.
I need an advice on VOA.
Due to the hurricane, my Son's passport was delayed for a week and is due for delivery today. We are slated to travel on the 4th of September and I don't know how to get prompt response from the Nigerian immigration(Sent a mail to them on Tiesday about VOA for my son, explaining my challenges but got no response). The airline provided a reservation for him based on consideration(Hurricane Harvey).
Please I need your responses.
I will be so grateful.
God bless.
@All, thank you.

Lol at your Ijebu plans. ...I am due late march 2018 my sis early April 2017. She had her baby at oakbend last year and we plan using oakbend. I already got correspondence from Dr F.
Any info you get with regards to this waka pls keep me posted. By d way na my first missionary waka.

Thanks



[ author=debby516 post=59974034]Soo I ve another impending missionary journey in 2018 .

I am trying to be experimental and try out some other cities - LA/Dr. M in mind. Still working on it, just want to be sure of all costs inclusive.

Had Atl in mind, but i realised dat it maybe more expensive than my last year journey.

Also checked out Chicago, but fear won't allow me, plus flying in thru another POE and doing local flights back and forth won't also help my ijebu plans.

Today, someone mentioned Longview, and I immediately went on research, called them and already have their email sef, still nt cost effective for me jare.

On the long run, if LA doesn't come cheaper than my Houston waka, I am sticking to Dr. Z/Oakland jejely, a familiar terrain by d way.

So I ve and will be 'pming' some of you. Pls indulge me abeg, not like I am not doing my own research but some one on one experience could be helpful.

Gracias

Congrats what a great testimony! Please can you shed more light on why she was almost denied entry? What were his questions? Can we have a transcript please? Thanks.

Sorry I've been away.

Okay
CBP: Hi, Good Afternoon.
Wifey: Good Afternoon.
CBP: Can I have you passport please and what do you want to do in the US.
Wifey: (gave her the passport) I'm here for delivery of my baby and would be in for 12weeks.
CBP: Why the US and not in Nigeria?
Wifey: The mortality rate in Nigeria is high,I had my first child here and the service was fantastic. However, my husband is able to afford the cost.
CBP: That's a lie, the hospitals in Nigeria are good. You are just here for our passport.
Wifey: No, the passport is not the reason but the service.
CBP: How much do you have with you?
Wifey: $6,000 (brought out the cash for CBP to count), i have other fund in my bank card and i'm also with my husband bank card (shows CBP the card.
CBP: No you don't have to give me the cash. Keep it. Well, I'm sorry I can see any reason to permit you into the US. Go to that office someone will attend to you and book your return flight to NIgeria. Thank you.

My wife left to the office she was directed to, before getting to the door the CBP officer called her back that she left her passport on her desk. As my wife collected her passport and that of my daughter, the CBP officer said proceed to the agriculture food declaration section. When she opened the passport it was stamped 6 months stay.

Hey,
Still got something leaving by December I just want to plan ahead. Still deciding between Park view or St Francis pls which hospital are you using ?
