Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by mummymom: 1:41pm On Aug 12, 2015
Hi
Back here after taking rest.want to share my conclusion based on my experience
1)tell the truth and be prepared all docs as much as u can
2)use wheelchair service,it will really help u alot to save energy , save time and will keep u calm as they exactly know where to take you and you will get vip treatment everywhere.
3)use compression stockings so it will keep your circulation good , drink lots of fluids and do frequent walks.
4)hold the cash as much as you can.i had 15000$ so there attention is diverted towards it although they didn't count my cash.
5)jfk is a friendly poe so use it if you can
6)your fit to fly should be recent ,containing ur weeks of pregnancy,edd,pregnancy going well and especially FIT TO FLY written over it,signed and stamped by Dr on hospital letter pad.
My proof of burdon list(although nothing was checked)
1)My hubby company letter stating his salary and designation
2)his bank statement
3)my hubby and son valid visa and passport biopage
4)my hubby previous visas to different countries like Europe,dubai,Malaysia,Thailand etc
5)hospital and dr correspondence
6)hotel reservation
7)our rent agreement and my son school fees paid till December

Hi every1
I am a newbie here and have learnt alot from this forum.Thanks every1 for your contribution.now it's time for me to give something back to this forum.i got last year my B1/B2 visa for vacation with my son and hubby which was utilized well. Then after coming to this forum we decided to have our baby in usa.after I got pregnant I sent my intension email to usa embassy and got the reply that I can travel. I am one of those who booked appointment with mihs b4. I prepared all my burdon of proofs and in the name of God travel to USA at 32 weeks this Sunday via american airlines. My 1st stop was Heathrow for 2 hrs.i requested wheelchair service which helped me alot to save time and energy and got priority treatment everywhere. My port of entry was jfk which was too crowded but again due to wheel chair service I passed all of them and wheeled directly to CBP officer who was a black guy.
Here is our conversation
Me: hello
CBP officer:.....give me ur passport.
Me:ok
CBP officer: purpose of your travel?
Me:to seek medical treatment for childbirth,vacation and shopping
CBP officer:so you are pregnant
Me:yes
CBP officer:how far have you gone
Me:32 weeks
CBP officer:so you are going to deliver your baby here
Me:yes
CBP officer:who is sponsoring you?
Me:My hubby.I gave him my husband company letter stating his designation and salary,his bank account statement,also told him that I declared my money above 10000$.
CBP officer : how long you are staying
Me:11wks
CBP officer : your husband will join you
Me:yes before delivery as he is a busy man so can't come for a long time.
CBP officer : how long did you stayed b4
Me:15 days
Stamped me in for 6 months and sent me to fill declaration form.no bags were checked,no secondary inspection.connected to the next flight which was after 2 n half hr of my arrival in jfk.reached phoenix,bought maternity package,now waiting for my dr appointment which is on Monday.
Good luck every1 and lots of prayers for every1.
Just 1 request to keep helping each other to achieve our dreams together and never think that u hv struggled alot to get info so other should also do the same.Every1 has their own capabilities and anyways God is always going to reward you in many other ways
With love
