You need Emergency Travel Certificate or a Nigerian visa for him to fly into Nigeria without a nigerian passport. I'll recommend you get the ETC, as Visa on arrival unfortunately has been stopped for nigerians. If you are in a city with a Nigerian embassy then you can go there with the required documents as that is the case in ATL. Not sure the city you're in, but if its New York here's the requirement. You are expected to send the documents via mail - https://www.nigeriahouse.com/documents/TravelCert.pdf (for New York).

Hi guys! Wanted to give my POE experience coz I’ve learnt a lot here and I believe mine would help someone. Sometime in March I told you guys about having a visa that’ll expire in May and that I was thinking of using it to give birth. I was encouraged most especially by @debbieeeeee
and @pointednose to go ahead.. and I actually did.

So here’s my experience:
I traveled with my Child which I gave birth to with the same visa 2 years ago. It wasn’t an easy journey. Went with Qatar airways. (One of the best airline I must say, just that the journey was quite long)
My POE was JFK which I used the previous time. When I got there, I was directed to join the citizens line because of my child. While on the line, a lady saw me and asked me to come forward (obviously a helper from God plus she saw I was pregnant and carrying a child) mind you, I didn’t try to cover it my pregnancy. did same 2 years ago infact I was almost due when I traveled the last time.
So back to my story, I met the POE officer who asked for my passport, he collected my child’s own and asked what I’m here for, I told him to have my 2nd baby. He looked at the computer for a while without saying a word to me, then stamped my child’s passport. Then he collected mine and asked where I was going to stay and asked for how long. I told him the town I was staying and I’m looking at 3months Or more. He now asked if I came with any food stuffs and I told him just spices, he now asked to see my face and I removed my face mask. He then stamped my passport 6 months and said have a nice stay.

From this, I can tell you two things
1) prayer is the key. I and my husband prayed seriously for a smooth Poe. Even told my pastor

2) Be truthful. Just say the truth to them. I learnt it here that being honest pays so when I traveled to have my first child, I told them exactly the same thing, (then I was obviously pregnant so I couldn’t even dare lying) and it was an easy Poe and I used the same JFK.
After hearing people say that 2nd time is always tougher, I got scared and people advised me to cover up since my pregnancy isn’t that obvious but I still couldn’t see myself doing it. I just said what will be will be. I made sure I was with every single receipt from the first one and a letter from the hospital showing I didn’t collect any Medicaid from them. Still they didn’t ask of anything..

These people appreciate honesty and I think if we keep being honest, they’ll start seeing Nigerians in a good way.

Thanks @Debbieeeeee and @PointedNose for the encouragement.

Thank you once again.
Do I need to go through an agent to hasten the process or monitor it if need be? I'm in California and I believe NY is the closest to me.

blossom101:
Good day guys. Please I have been trying to add my hubby on my u.s appointment schedule as I will be the main applicant cos I have u.s travel history but I keep getting "operations with inactive user"

Please any advice on how to go about this issue?

drgerapink:
Visa on arrival is issued to infants that have Nigerian parents.You can check the requirements on the immigration page. Gather the required documents and send an email. Its usually approved within 48hrs(used an agent). Once approved, you will be sent an approval letter which you will show the airline and the child's passport will be stamped on arrival.

drgerapink:
If you can't get an appointment at usa embassy to notarize consent form, you can use the online usa public notary..its quick and easy(that is what I used and I have my baby's passport approved). It costs 75 dollars and done via a zoom call.
I'm not sure if I am allowed to post links here.
Just send ne a mail and I can share the link.

Hello Everyone, I was introduced to this particular thread today. I will sincerely appreciate all advice and guidance wholeheartedly.
My wife is in her trimester, she should be due around July by Gods grace. I’m interested in the US birth tourism for her. I have relatives / siblings over there but I want to do everything by myself from here. I have some worries and questions,
1 - is it still possible to start the whole processing right now considering she will be due in about 7 months, is that enough time amidst all the recent travel restrictions.
2 - is the US embassy still processing such visa and is it likely to get interview dates before she’s due.
Thanks for your feedbacks

Good morning, I know this might be a relief for someone out there as I also looked everywhere for it. We had our kids in the US on a medical visa. I went for a B1/B2 interview sometimes last week with my husband. We compiled all the documents that may be useful (receipts and zero balance) and prayed to God for favour. The interviewer did not touch on the births until we mentioned it ( this could have been a trap) and no further questions were asked about receipts. We discussed the reason for the trip and he wanted to know if my husband was sponsoring, which he confirmed ( husband earns six figures ) and that was it. We got an approval! The only thing I know we did was prayers and faith in God.

Just the basic questions about purpose of traveling and all. She ( the interviewer) mentioned i stayed longer than my husband and wanted to know why, so we mentioned the childbirth. She also wanted to know if we will be using medical services this time around and we said no as the purpose of this trip is vacation.

The current renewal is not for birthing.
Congratulations Lawode!! ..This is truly a relief ......our interview is in 2 months time....Can you remember what questions the VO asked? Did you mention to the VO that the Visa is for vacation or childbirth? ..sorry for the plenty questions..just a bit nervous
