A friend just entered Philly yesterday for child delivery, she had her first child in the US and went with her receipts. They gave her a hell of problem coupled with her little child that was just crying and so tired. May God help us ooo.

Yea. Houston and Philly are notorious for that.

Will give a list of good and bad POEs before the day runs out, so new posters here will know where to avoid.

Good morning everyone. God bless you all and may we continue to be fruitful in our individual families. Amen

Petme13 - Your story made me cry and angry at the same time. i am so sorry you had to go through all that expecially being pregnant with your daughter and all. Hugggsssss.

Well said @ Airpure.

@Airpure, negatively ke. You have spoken well. I'm adopting your strategies mehn. I'm on my bed rolling like an egg, then I will go and face one stress like that at POE. Noooooo. All strategies are welcome.

@ pet me 13 sorry for your experience I can just imagine

At the end of the day, we thank God o, it would have been too bad if they had asked you to leave.

Mehn! Which way? Na to enter from Alaska? abi na Hawaii?

My ticket is BA with Houston as POE...omo na fasting and prayer from now...Well may need to get someone to fast for me as I dey for this condition

@petme 13, thank God u scaled tru at last. For those who haven't bought their tickets, I think it's best to just avoid poe with direct flights from Nigeria. It's been repeated severally on this thread by some old mama's. There are some poe without massive inflow of Nigerians like the case with houston or atlanta. I think it's best to just avoid all troubles weather you declared ur intention at the embassy or not or weather u've been a frequent traveller to the us or not. Above all, let's remember to pray for God's favour. His favour can make u bypass that poe wihtout any troubles. We've had mama's here who passed tru houston and they didn't even spend more than a minute.

Hubs and mom have gingered me to reapply but I just want to sleep. Se I can reapply immediately abi?

@Raii it is well just cool off a bit, ur head will clear up then u can make a better decision. Don't give up yet. It is well oh!

@petme13....am disgusted by the horrible way you were treated @POE. Am glad you are settling and getting the rest you need. My heart bled for your daughter.
You have a right to be treated like an individual, with respect and dignity. What happened was the height of unprofessionalism, you were not breaking any law! My advice is that you write a very strong letter of complain, detailing ur experience to the immigration Dept. You can also get free legal advice from Citizens Information Bureau. All the best in all you do!

Thanks tecnic and H2H. I was so stupefied I didn't ask the reason for denial. Id be applying alone this time if I muster energy. The ratio of denial to approvals was so high eh.

I feel the Vo made up her mind earlier cos she flipped thru the statements. Didnt ask for email correspondences though I had it on me. To do the waka again eh ko easy.

Pls can someone help me check the next appointment date. M going to bed now.

In filling the form I put d doctor's clinic as the contact org. Mayb I shd av put west houston addy. She must have presumed twas a birthing centre.

Petme, it is well. You prevailed at the end.....thats all that matters. God favoured you and will compensate u.

Generally, I don't think there's any cause to fear sha. Lots of ppl hv also had great POE experiences at the same houston. Fear can make us make some irrational decisions that will cost us more eventually. Please be at peace and God will give us wisdom and guide us appropriately. I remember when I went for my visa interview, the lady who was bouncing everybody was the same woman that granted our visas without checking a single document. My husband asked me to pray that our number won't be called at her Window and I just said it doesn't matter who it is, so long as It's God's will no one can say 'NO'.

when I was a month late for my masters course in uk, the border officer in Heathrow was about to make trouble when another officer walked up to her and asked why she was deliberately delaying me. She insisted that so long as I have a valid student visa I shouldn't be held for no just cause. Na so them let me pass. Pls hv faith in God and He will be a ready help in time of need.

Giving birth requires lots of faith so u might as well extend it to visa interviews n POE experiences. When a man's way pleases the Lord, He makes even His enemies to be at peace with him. I'm flying BA to houston and I'm at peace.

The favour of God makes all the difference.SHALOM!

Good day all, thanks to everyone for keeping this thread active since inception. Just want to emphasise the need for everyone to commit their plans to God as they prepare for this venture. Sometimes you get everything right from the word go, and yet things still get to happen. I pray for peace for everyone hurting, and rejoice with all those rejoicing.
