Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by karie: 3:29am On May 03, 2017
Hello house,

I have been a silent reader and must commend u guys for all your efforts on educating peeps like me on childbirth in the US. I renewed my visa first week in October 2016 and found out I was pregnant in late October 2016. Sent in my change of intent letter in December 2016, got a response that I should send in my passport details and name as it is on my passport. I did that then got the generic response.

So in the spirit of giving back, will like to share my POE experience with you all.

Left Gidi on the 30th April for Chicago on Emirates airline, every was smooth just that the flight was long.
Fast forward to JFK, i met the cbp officer and the interview went like this:

CBP: where u coming from?
Me: Nigeria
CBP: what u here for?
Me: vacation and childbirth
CBP: how many weeks are you?
Me: 33 weeks
CBP: when are you due?
Me: June 10,2017
CBP: who you staying with?
Me: my uncle and his wife
CBP: how much do you have on u?
Me: 9660$ cash and some on my card
CBP: ok gimme some minutes

He took my passport inside and at this point I am like God just take control and I kept praying in my mind.

Next he came outside stamped me in as B2 till October 2017 and said have a nice stay.

That's how I entered ooo and moved on to agriculture, scanned 2 of my bags and I was on my way....
Flew Emirates to JFK then south west jet airlines to Chicago midway airport. Now in Chicago chilling for Lo to arrive... hehehe... thank God.
Thank you guys for every.

PS: I ll like to say we shouldn't always discourage peeps that renew their visa and decide to go for childbirth instead of vacation as stated when renewing cos once u have sent in your change of intent letter, have enough cash and say the truth then you should be fine.

Thank you guys again.
