Hello everyone, I find this topic so interesting and I wonder why I didn't come across it when I was planning to have my baby who is about 1yr+4months now. I had her in Westland, Michigan and d cost was around $6,000 though I stayed with my sister for that 3months period. I used Dr Anthony Udo, a Nigerian from AkwaIbom state who has been in the US for over 30years now. He proposed the Hospital (Oakland) and i had to pay upfront ($4500 for Vaginal delivery). I had some complications on the d-day which could have led to CS but this Dr knew just what to do and thank God my baby came out healthy and cute. I must confess that I ate everything eatable in that hospital after my baby's birth; i ate and drank as if i had never eaten before. Now, I have a question: My Visa expires in July and I intend to go visit my sister for like 2weeks this month end, I want to know what to say in case i'm being questioned as regards my last visit which lasted about 3months as against the 2weeks that I told the Entry Clearance Officer. A friend of mine with a similar story was delayed at Abu Dhabi (Preclearance) with series of questions but she was eventually allowed to fly into the US. I'm flying Delta and the POE is Atlanta, I really wish to know how the airport security check is so I can prepare myself well to avoid any unwanted issues. My sister is having a baby and she wants me around. Thanks people. |

wagzyl: Simply say the truth. Most B1/B2 visa holders are stamped in for 6 months because the CBP also envisage that you may need to extend your stay. Except they stamped you in for 2 weeks and you over stayed till 3 months you dont have cause to worry. |

@ TVegas, Ok thanks. It was stamped six months and i left after 3months. |

anupopo: My sis I had to ask my friend who had a one year old to give me an estimate of the amount of diapers she had used. So far I've used: 148 NB size; 374 size 1; 320 size 2; 478 size 3+ a gift carton; 267 size 4 and counting( I'm keeping the numbers for next journey) ![]() Didn't say how many cartons coz it depends on diaper brand. for wipes I bought 2 cartons 900count each. So far I've bought only 1carton of wipes here. Remember you might get gifts of diapers and wipes too o. I was not so lucky after running my mouth. Lol ![]() And I shipped by sea with other things to naija. Just keep the ones your baby would use before your stuff arrives. I'm sure Other BTDT moms on NL can help too. 4 Likes |

God2big2sure: No need for you to lie because they are likely to know you had a baby recently. Why dont you just tell them the real reason for the trip and prepare for the interview with your burden of proof |

wagzyl: From your post,i dont think you told the VO during your visa interview that you were pregnant and using the visa for birthing purpose,because if you did you wouldn't have told cbp at poe that you are spending 2wks when you ended up spending 3 months. So therefore,just pray that you find favour with whoever you will meet at poe. And also go with all your hospital receipts and letter of zero balance |

Well done everyone in the house for d wonderful contributions. Pls l need advice on this issue. I want to give my sister my baby's Social Security Number, she needs it to fill for TAX ONLY. I just want to assist her to gain more in Tax returns. I believe so much in her, so d idea of using it otherwise will not crop up. However l want to know if there ll be any negative implications at long run (Affecting d parents in getting their papers) Thanks |

mamaju: Your choices are between breaking the law and offending your sis, I don't envy you. Its a case of damned if you do, damned if you do not. You don't really need our opinion, you've made up your mind to do this, you just need reinforcements to clear any lingering doubts you may have. No one here is likely to "support" you, you make your choice and stick with it. Good luck. 8 Likes |
