slimwendy85: @slimwendy85: hi dear. It was the same VO. All she did was ask if I had a new doctor now and I showed her the letters and the bills. Se asked for my statements and she approved the Visa. She advised me to make sure I had all these docs at Poe. Tho I got someone's address in Texas just in case but really, at this second apt, they only focus on why they asked u to come back. Mine was in Abuja. All the best dear... Guys, pls chill... No more fighting, ok? |

So I am a bit rested. Time for poe story. I travelled with emirates. Journey was long and service wAs fantastic. They changed my seat to where I would have leg room and to walk around. Meal voucher was given during the layover in dubai. POE was Los Angeles. Border officer no give me issue. Conversation lasted 5 mins if not less. BO: how long are you here for Me: 3 months Bo:why are u here Me:vacation and baby Bo:which hospital Me : I told him Bo: how much do you have Me: stated the exact amount above 10k Bo :who is helping you with the birth Me: told him hubby is coming later close to the birth. He basically stamped me in for six months and wrote FINCON or something like that on my landing card cos I declared above 10k and I declared some food items. Went on to sec inspection, queue was a bit long and slow moving. Eventually got to the sec officer, he asked me how much I had, I told him and then gave me a form to fill. He then asked if I told them at the embassy that I was coming to give birth, explained to him I was not pregnant then and I had been to the states the previous year with my family. He now said ok. He asked what food I has, I told him garri explained it in English. He said do I have meat, I told him no that I know it's forbidden. Told me to keep all my receipts, entered some things on his system and told me to goooo. Na so I enter Los Angeles my people. So what tips can I share, prayer is key and start from now before you even travel. When we landed, I was so tired after the long journey. I just told God that I have prayed about this and all I want now is manifestation of the answered prayers cos I was too exhausted to even pray. 2. Walk around the plane often and drink plenty water. I was the only obvious preggy on my flight. Everyone knew me cos I dey waka ehn. From beginning of the plane to the end. 3. Be truthful and declare what u have. I also believe that declaration of the money distracted them a bit from searching my luggage for food items.mine might just be unique though. No single document was checked. Looking forward to my appointment with the doctor and to having my baby. Thanks for all I got here as the knowledge is awesome. Will keep updating as I progress in this American baby project 25 Likes |

HotChoco2: Nice. *laughs* Hope you know that more than half of the contributors here are running on pregnancy hormones. Do not expect them to be "nice". Oops. Just seeing the tiger fight that comes after. Lol. See what I mean. Hormones at work. |

[quote author=Flowers post=30440405]Am finally back home with my baby after 7 weeks. I met many nairalanders and they were helpful. Dr. Fagbohun was really nice, didn't like one of his doctors that took the delivery. Congrats babe. Pls did you use a lawyer to notarize the consent letter for baby's passport or was your husband with you? |

Hello. I have a quick question. I renewed my US visa last year for vacation purposes which I have since embarked on and returned. However during the interview I remembrr the VO asking if I was going for baby shopping and I said no since I wasn't planning to. I have since decided to have my baby in the states and I sent an email to them informing them of my plans as advised here. I got a call earlier today from the consulate requesting I come for a chat. What do you guys think? Do I go prepared with documentation or why would they need to see me? The visa is B1/B2, I am also not based in Nigeria. |

Jomikish: @jomikish and @slimwendy. Good morning, please the letter you got from Dr Fagbohun, was it a personalised letter or email cause i sent him a mail and he responded with an attachment of the bills that need to be paid. Please clarify as i intend to apply for my visa as well this week. |

Hello Nairalanders, Kindly advice me on what to do concerning this issue. I have a visa USA B1 and I got it based in the fact that am going to the USA for training but I couldn't go for some reason, but now am ready to go and am also pregnant. Do I mail the embassy about the pregnant status now or I just travel because I plan to deliver there too after my training. Thanks |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by justwise(m): 9:16am On Feb 06, 2015 |
kemisolanymat: We're you preg. when you attended the interview and when was the training supposed to take place? |
