33-38m

IN THIS Tinubu regime??.these figures you are quoting are blatantly wrong and misleading....i dont know why you choose to do this, willful ignorance or plain mischief?

if 35m can build a duplex in this tinubu regime of 2025...that means 10m to 15m would have built it pre tinubu/pmb of 2015/2017

Same issue. Application just says “refused”
Initial IW application- Aug 28th
Multiple emails, port not at OIS after multiple visits, no communication from embassy. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m getting worried here.

Hmmm, seems its best to opt for face 2 face interview then. B4 missing port gbese is added ontop visa denial
cretin: 12:33pm On Dec 09, 2024
So yet again engaged avits on chat, for missed IW appointment and the agent claimed that i should my gt bank receipt on my and not just ref number

I told the agent, there is no such room for apart, from on a ticket, and agent insisted that there is, that ing on ticket will not help me.

So am asking if anyone has seen where one can the old gt bank receipt on ones profile on avits?

Please anyone who can help on this......

from my experience, the OIS people appear confused..b4 they were honoring ois dates for dropoffs, but now..they say its avits date, mine was 26th avits date, booked 29th ois date....went on 29th was turned back, and it was so painfully, cos i flew in and out. your best bet is to go on the avits date. show the people at the gate the avits letter, they should let you in. presently/last month...the avits date was superior to the ois date....hope they hvnt changed yet again, when u go

In the same shoe, not yet sorted out.... I ve been on this issue for 3weeks now


any good news?...am beginning to suspect avits/the americans may be stylishly trying to frustrate us into making fresh payments, and discarding payments made on the old portal/gtb.................... quite terrible if true

Anybody had a receipt not found error, when trying to book appointment using the old gt bank receipt?

Pls how did u resolve it?

Heads up no point choosing a DHL location

We went to a DHL location and were redirected to the OIS office.

Also the initial DHL location you chose in your application will not work. So when scheduling the port pickup please choose an OIS location to avoid wasting your time and transportation. Cheers

good to know

1. Even, if your spouse is the most notorious criminal in the USA, the USA embassy will still give you the Equal Opportunity and Freedom of Rights, based on your personal profile. Therefore, if you are qualify for the VISA, they will gladly grant you.

🙏

ok thanks, really appreciate your input, i heard tales of how they would try to keep the family apart, by denying the visa of other spouse, saying they hv immigration intent, in other to force/smoke the asylee spouse back/out of usa
cretin: 4:31pm On Sep 23, 2024
anybody has experience on how the usa views someone, whose spouse is an asylum seeker in the usa based on the kids who are citizens.
would they just summarily reject the visa application cos of the spouse asylum without looking at the merits of the case and the persons clean sheet of visiting the usa and returning without overstaying?

so, my flooded battery has 2 problems.

1. the electrolyte depletes very fast...within 6weeks, i top up with distilled water and charge at 14.7v and 13.8v float

2. in a battery of 6 cells, maybe 4 or 5 cells will have low electrolyte after 6weeks, while one or 2 cells will have half full electrolyte.

3.i have 4 batteries in series with solar ing it and grid. by 9pm, the battery voltage drops to 50v and remains there almost tru the night or hovers between 50v and 49.7v. but when the electrolyte is low, the voltage remains btw 50.5v and 51.5v . so i believe the higher concentration makes the battery voltage sag to be minimal. the batteries are 2.5yrs old. and just get warm to touch during charging...luminous battery.

has anyone experienced this and what can i do to turn things around?

for a couple who their profiles are locked together, can either of them book for date?. of they would be limited to only the principal applicant being able to make the booking for visa appointment
cretin: 3:25pm On Mar 30, 2022
puffmama:


Are you sure you answered all the questions properly, cos if you clicked a wrong answer , it would assume you are not eligible. It happened to me once. So click on new appointment and read and answer the questions correctly.

i clicked on new appointment...and the IW thing didn't pop up...just took me straight to booking dates for normal interview.
pls what am i doing wrong?
i also clicked CONTINUE...and same result

edit: was doing something wrong, click the b1/b2 without interview option, 4th option or so from the top

Bros, no games in this arena. As they say it, that is how it is.
Let me give you one example. Did you know that some brake pads at Autozone store have lifetime warranty? At least this one I have used.
You make a normal one time purchase (no extra charges) and then, each time the brake pads get worn out, you return them for a free replacement. Completely no charge, and no questions asked.
Don’t ask me how the manufacturer make their profit, because I don’t know.
When will Nigeria reach that level, in of quality assurance?

When will nigeria have stable electricity?.
Electricity was invented over 2 centuries ago.
The most populous black nation on the earth is still battling with providing basic electricity to her citizens 250yrs after the invention of electricity.

Hello mum's and docs in the house. Please help �o. My son is about 4 months ths old. He's been having nasal congestion since almost birth but now it has gotten worse. (We believe he took it from his dad who has sinusitis). It distubs his breathing alot especially at night and when eating. During omugwo, my mum was using hot water with napkin close to his nose.
We've been to 2 hospitals several times regarding it. We were asked to use mentol crystals in hot water for him, vitamin c, Amoxil suspension and chlorpheniramine syrup but they don't seem to relieve him. What can I do? I don't want to go back to the hospitals. Please help a ftm

steam him.....

get into an enclosed space, i prefer kitchen..put kettle with long spout on boil , find a way to suspend cotton wool you hv put several drops of silver bird ointment and baby rob above the spout of the kettle..so the escaping steam from the kettle hits it. close all doors and windows allow steam to form and engulf the whole place for 10 to 15mins go in with baby, and ensure the steam enters babys nose........15mins inside should be ok...do same morning and night....

if all this is too much trouble, you can search for vicks humidifier or any other good humifier on amazon, it uses electricity 600watss and produces non stop steam and vapour..this will dissolve any congestion in babys air ages

Please house, how long does it take to get ETC from Nigeria embassy?

Also, can I use scanned signature on the letter of consent?

Thank you.

all ETC docs was required to be sent via email ------that was during the peak of covid, so it was easy then to email soft copies of everything. do they require hard copies now?

Good everyone! I just had my baby! Thank God with me!
Pls I’d like to know how people with their spouses in Nigeria apply for their baby’s US port especially in this covid era?
I want to know what my husband has to do? Do people still go to the Embassy? Or can any notry public do it?
I want to see if I can start this week since I still have like a little time
Thank you

there is this other form to use if husband is in prison/offshore etc...thats what we used. {it was in the peak of covid, and they were not attending to anybody for notary}..but with the delay port didnt come out on time, so we applied for ETC and used it to come back to nigeria. US peeps sent back our application asking us to provide notary and mail back within 3 months. so within the 3months we kept checking and the US ebmassy in naija opened up dates for notary and we quickly got that done and sent vis dhl to our host in usa, who then packaged everything and mailed back to the port people....

baby ports was issued some months later

Good morning please a ftm to be here . Please what cream can one recommend for a new baby to start using?? And also what diaper is best to use for a baby in nigeria. Will appreciate your reply. Am about to shop for my baby as am drawing nearer to delivery

original huggies still remains the best, but very expensive..over 24k for a full carton of about 150 pieces. stay away from nigerian or south african huggies, those sold for 4k for a pack. they dont hold waste well, and leakout.. kisskid handles faeces better than urine...it gets very very swollen and heavy with urine......other than that its decent n well built

kisskids is decent at 5k or so, asda little angels is about the best bang for buck about 6k for 80pieces
