macorondo: More than 5 people have responded to your post and all of them have advised you to tell the truth, but you keep asking "what do I say if asked if I'm pregnant at the POE?". Now, let me tell you what you want to hear. . . Biko my sister, LIE! Travel now before you start showing. Conceal it. And if they ask, tell them you're NOT pregnant. If they decide to do a physical examination, tell them the little bump you have is due to overfeeding. Atleast, no be crime to chop belleful. Let's just hope they don't decide to run a pregnancy test. Even if they do sef, say you didn't know you were preggy. Ehen naw, its very possible. . .  And please, don't forget to go through Houston or Chicago POE.    Thank me later. Yea yea, I'm nice like that.  13 Likes |

tbaby2015:in Heathrow airport on friday, a woman was sent back and before she was sent back her phones were searched, even pictures on her phone and her hand luggage, I think the p.o.e officers who are further known as immigration officers are vested with the powers to do such because I don't think they are acting ultra vires |

Phema:phema ooooo lmao! I don't think this woman will understand your sarcasm o! Well everyone has advised that she shouldn't, my friend did the same thing and birthed in Chicago, she arrived the u.s in march 2014 and had her babies in September, that was her first time in the u.s and she got the visa on a virgin passport, so she thought concealing the pregnancy was a good idea, she wasn't even asked if she was pregnant at p.o.e because she wasn't showing at all but she left with babies (twins) .na when she wan renew she go hear am |

Hello house, Please I'm in a dilemma. Forgive me cos my hormones have taken a better part of me. I got a visa last year june for vacation which was duly used. Tho I went to Houston instead of califonia. I was not pregnant at the time so there was no case of lying to the vo. I found out I was pregnant in september. (Pregnant with twins).The thing is I have decided to go to elpaso. All flights to elpaso are crazily expensive except United that seems cheaper. But I'm scared of Houston poe even tho I intend to pay all my bills before going. 1.Do I need to send a letter to the embassy to inform them about my intention? 2. Do u think I will still have problems at Houston poe? 3. what other airline or route can I go thru to elpaso? Biko help a sister out, I'm going crazy here plus my tummy Don big pass person we dey born triplet sef. |

justwise: We got a right to our opinion Never heard /seen/read anyone having their phones searched, for what and on what grounds? But if you are being profiled for crime,drugs, possible ,fraud your case must be very bad to have your phone searched . But just a random phone search waiting to hear o At least ochirouoma said she gave them her phone. Of what interest is your phone to them if you are pregnant and going to have a baby. But if u bought a one way ticket and your pregnant you see be theif Or ur pregnant haven't paid your medical bills and are traveling with $500 ehen You have to be criminally profiled to have a freak search. This poe and crazy n jobless you know! Or maybe your village people are really after you! |

Best believe that as long as they have cause to doubt any information you provide, they will search any and everything on you and there's nothing you can do but be pissed off. It has nothing to do with criminal offenses, they have the right to allow you or not allow you into their country so some of the take that right a bit too literally and misbehave! drafrican: 4 Likes |

justwise: The Joy Of Being Detained By U.S. Customs and Border Protection After a really fun day yesterday in Waterloo at Communitech, which is really impressive, I woke up at 4:30am to make my 6:30am flight from Toronto to Chicago on my way to Little Rock, Arkansas where I’m speaking at the launch of Startup Arkansas. I was going to run the Little Rock Marathon on Sunday but I’m undertrained and – while I could get it done – decided I wasn’t ready to deal with the physical and emotional recovery cycle given all the work I’ve got going on. So I bailed on the marathon, but since they’d organized the Startup Arkansas event around my schedule and managed to procure me a number for the sold out marathon, I decided to go ahead and fulfill my commitment to that. At 5:30am after checking in and getting my boarding pass, I slammed into the wall of US CBP. I’ve been through the Toronto checkpoint a few times and it’s always a long line that moves slowly. I got to the front by 5:45am so I felt like I had plenty of time to make my 6:30am flight. As I waited for my turn, I noticed the CBP agent whose line I was in was moving slowly. The guy two people in front of me took about three minutes to clear – he had to take off his hat, then his glasses, and had to do some fingerprint thing on the scanner that I can’t remember ever having seen used before. I didn’t really think much of it, but I noticed it. When it was my turn, I said a polite hello to the CBP agent, gave him my passport and customs form, and waited patiently. He handed me back my customs form and said “Put your correct address on this.” I looked down and noticed I had written my P.O. Box in Eldorado Springs as my address, since that’s my address. I responded “That’s my correct legal address.” He responded, “Do you live inside a P.O. Box?” I said, as politely as I could, “No.” He then said “Is your house inside your P.O. Box?” I said, “No, I have a house a mile away, but the P.O. Box is my address – at least that’s what the US Postal Service says.” By this point I realized he wanted a street address and not a P.O. Box, so I said “I’m sorry, I’ll write down the house address I have” which I proceeded to do. I stood there quietly for about a minute as he typed stuff into his computer. He then handed my passport and my customs form to me after scribbling something illegible on it, handed me a yellow card, pointed at a room, and said, “Go into that room.” I asked whether there was a problem and he said more forcefully, “Go into that room.” I did. It was a bigger room with about 10 CBP people. There were about 5 non-CBP people. No one acknowledged me as I walked into the room. I went up to one of the CBP people and said, “I was told to go to this room – can you tell me what I need to do?” He responded, “Give me your documents and go sit down over there until called.” This time I asked “Can you explain what’s going on?” The response was “Go sit over there until you are called.” At this point I got anxious. I went and sat down. I sent Amy and my assistant Kelly an email telling them where I was. I tweeted that I had been detained by CBP. I started looking up flight information on my iPhone and a different CBP agent barked at me, “Sir, you must turn off your cell phone in this room.” So I did. I looked at the clock. It was now 6:00am. I resigned myself that I was going to miss my 6:30am flight. At 6:15am I heard someone from the other end of the room call “Feld.” I got up, took my bags, and went to where that person was. He told me to put my bags down and stand in front of him. He proceeded to empty out my bags and go through them carefully. After he packed them back up, he typed a few things into the computer, asked me a few routine questions, including where I lived, which I answered more precisely this time with a house address, explained that the postal service wouldn’t come to deliver to my house, so I had a P.O. Box as the US Post Office that I used as my address. He stamped my forms, handed them back to me, and pointed at a door and said, “Go through there.” I had no idea whether things were about to get better or worse. I asked him politely, “Can you explain why you are detaining me.” He responded with “Because you are traveling to the US.” I said, “I was asking why you’ve detained me for 30 minutes. Specifically, what was the reason?” The CBP officer said, “Because you are traveling to the US – we don’t have to give you a reason.” I quietly picked up my stuff and went through the door he had pointed at. It led me back to the security area, in front of the long line to go through the xray machine, but behind the CBP checkpoint. So apparently I had now cleared customs, but still had to go through security. It was 6:25am at this point. No way I was going to make my flight. I took a deep breath, realized my heart rate was high (probably over 100), and I was extremely anxious. I went into mellow shut down mode as quickly as I could, just soldered through security, and got to my gate. At the point the normal absurdity of air travel took over and even though I was on a United / Air Canada codeshare, the gate agent for the flight I missed (Air Canada) wouldn’t help me, the United Global Services people couldn’t figure out how to change my ticket, and ultimately I wandered over the gate that I figured out with the United Global Services person was my replacement flight, where the gate agent there was very helpful and soothing for the first time this morning. I’m now in Chicago waiting for my flight to Little Rock. Given the flight times, I’ve got a lovely three hour wait, which I’m filling up with a long blog post to empty my head, all the phone calls that Kelly scrambled to reschedule, and some email time. I’ve been awake for 7 hours. I’ve managed to get from Toronto to Chicago. My heart rate is back to normal. I feel fine but the 45 minutes of CBP stress, which was minor compared to what I know a lot of people face, sits with me in a very bitter way. CNN is in the background with the talking heads blathering on about sequestration and all the problems it, and our government, are creating. And I remember that getting into Canada on Wednesday took me literally five minutes, was pleasant, and welcoming. What a shitty morning. 2 Likes |

Congrats on your twins! 1. You do not "need" to inform the embassy since (a) you were not preggers when you got your visa (b) you already went on vacation with the visa. However, it is your choice 2. Yes Houston POE is considered one of the toughest but guess what? many mamas (especially ones with straight forward stories) pass there successfully all the time. Just make sure you have all your documentation (cash, receipts, accommodation confirmation etc...). You can search this thread for Houston POE stories. Many people pass there. It is really up to you. 3. There are so many other airline options with diff. POEs. Dallas seems to be a popular option these days. k711: |
