I used Qatar but was lucky I got a flight schedule with about 2hrs layover at Doha.

Please apart from the US Embassy in Lagos and Abuja, is there no other place the DS3053 form can be notarized? As DH does not reside in any of the cities. Can the filled document be taken by another person to the embassy to be notarized as my younger sis resides in Lagos. Thanks

In the spirit of giving back I wish to share my POE experience. left Lagos yesterday Wednesday 26th April through Qatar airline at 32weeks + 2days. Submitted my Med Cert and MEDIF via email to the airline on Monday. Got to the airport early. Went to port health got a med cert, paid 1500 for it. Had all my documents put together. At Doha, my name was announced that I was to see a US immigration officer. I confidently went to him.
Officer: Hello
Me: Hi. How are u doing
Officer : Fine and u. What's your purpose of visit
Me: Child birth
Officer: Do you have a Dr
Me: Yes. Called the name of the dr and hospital
Officer: K, where will you be staying
Me: gave him my brother-in-law's address
Officer: What do u do for a living.
Me: Work for the FG in bleep org
Officer: Do have a safe trip
Me: Thanks

So I boarded the plane from Doha to NY. Qatar airline is really nice. Good meals, the pampering I got cos I be pregnant woman. The trip was smooth no issues. Landed NY, scanned my passport and printed my receipts at the self service machine and headed to the CBP Officer.
Me: HI
CBP: Welcome, passport please
Me I handed it to him
He looked at it and looked at me.
CBP: you know your passport has expired.
Me: Yes. Please find attached the New one but my Visa is in the old one.
CBP: K. Raised his stamp and looked at me. What do you do for a living.
Me: Work with the FG in so so org.
He stamped me in till Oct and told me welcome.
N.a. so I jeje go carry my luggage. Meet 2nd customs officer who just asked purpose of visit which I answered child birth. She just said welcome to the US.

I could not believe it. I just jejely waka dey drag my bag to where my BIL was waiting for me. The man self still dey in shock as he said wetin dey reign for America na anchor baby and they have been sending several pple back.

Thank you firsttymum God bless you for taking time out to answer my questions. God bless all contributors to this page.

@dabson2020 congrats on your safe delivery. Please I just sent you a pm. I need to ask some questions as I have already made contact with Dr Xydas. I'm a June FTM. Thanks

chibertha:


Reapply for the same visa before you travel via drop box the first one will be cancelled without prejudice.
I did in 2011 then my first visa was still valid but I had to renew because by the time I will be the USA the first would have expired.

@ Cibertha how soon should I reapply since it expires in July I'm due in June but hope to travel in April

@manlikegb God bless you

firsttymum:

Hmmm
U c this cbp officials... They r d most unpredictable specie....
If u like use d visa many times.. They will still ask if have informed the embassy. Reason mamas came up with notification of intent....

Please what is the implication of overstaying in the US after your Visa expiration and how does it affect subsequent visa renewal and visits

dere5:


You can still send the letter to the embassy if you like,but i don't think it's absolutely necessary in your case,since you have used the visa for the original purpose it was issued.
Regarding the visa expiration ,the important thing here is that you enter the us before your visa expires.When you are entering at POE it's the duration that the cbp officer stamps you in that matters not the date your visa will expire

Thanks for your reply. My problem is I'm due June 10th. I'm not sure I will have enough time to get my baby's papers and my baby would not be old enough to travel before my visa expiration. Is there a way to renew the Visa before it's expiration?

Hi house I got my US visa last year and travelled with hubby on vacation in November last year. Spent 2 weeks in the US. My Visa expires in July 2017 and my baby is due in June 2017. This is my first. I have relatives in New Jersey where I could stay. I am yet to discuss with them cos I and hubby just started talking about the possibility of giving birth in the US. I need your advice about the Visa expiration and should I still write the embassy about my intent to deliver in the US?

What will it cost to have a spare remote for my 2011 Toyota Venza I'm worried cos d one I have keeps falling off my hand

Sweetheart buy yourself a car. Stay humble. It will get u a better husband. Trust me I'm talking from experience.
