woaini: For my first my husband wasn't with me I emailed him the letter and he signed. He then scanned it back to me and I signed. He was there for my second. When you get to the format bridge , whoever is helping you get the visa will help you cross it. It's a simple letter and you're given a format. Stop stressing everything usually falls in place at the end of the day. 4 Likes |

helovesme: Asking your question there is fine with me cos its more to do with "health and wellbeing " than just travel but I asked to bring questions here so that "uninterested" parties will not feel one "kain", you understand how most people are nah. 1 Like |

Hey y'all, just a little info for our moms doing a return trip for vacation or whatever with your american pikin, expect questions as to why you gave birth in the US once they sight that blue passport. In my opinion, JFK was the most straight forward and stress free POE, no papers or docs asked for, as long as you tell the TRUTH and just hold on to your paid bills etc, just incase they decide not to take your word for it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Hi everyone, I'm super new to all this but just reading one or two post I feel so informed. Thanks everyone. I need some advice, Im due August and planing to go for my interview last week in June. What bothers me is that I'm using doctor Fagbohun who is in Houston and I have family in Dallas. From reading through i'm guessing I have to get like a hotel some weeks before my due date... How do I present this when interviewed? Also, im just recently married and my passport is still in my maiden name, will this be a problem? If anyone is going for an interview this month let us plan together please...i feel so lost..lol |

babyspice: Well said! please travel with your receipts and zero balance as I was asked for mine during my last trip April this year. Hubby and I went without the kids, I was asked why I stayed 3 months last year which I answered childbirth. Hubby was about to bring out receipts/zero balance from his bag when the guy smiled and said 'I can see you paid for all services' then he took our fingerprints and stamped us in. All the best all... |

If you have not committed your Dr, you are free to change your doctor when you get there. Also tell the VO the truth that u want to stay in Dallas and have your babe in Houston. I also travelling to Dallas by October. hotstuff1: |

The most important thing is for you to pay all ur bills without any aid and also Doctors and hospital correspondence. You can tell the VO of ur accommodation verbally. hotstuff1: |

Hello house,Pls I have a question for mothers that have traveled back home with those babies,What type of car seat would you advice one to buy?The infant car seat or the convertible?At what point is the car seat collected,do you check it in or its collected at the entrance of the plane.Plsss help!!Thank you. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by favoredgal: 5:57am On Jun 10, 2015 |
Newmum15: The infant seat is backwards facing and is the first car seat a child should use The convertible is forward facing and should be used after the child has outgrown the infant seat No hospital in the USA will discharge you without an infant seat It's up to you if you want to check it in, if it's a travel set with your stroller and you have a lay over I will advice you don't check it in. It will be collected at the gate if the plane and given to you when you land 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Beryl15: 7:41am On Jun 10, 2015 |
favoredgal: Some convertible car seats are both forward and backward facing. The only problem is it has to remain in the car as its big and can't be carried around. If you don't plan to carry baby around in the car seat then get a convertible one as baby would use it for a longer. 2 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Nita2013: 7:54am On Jun 10, 2015 |
No dear not all convertible car sets are forward facing only. Mine 4 example (graco 4ever all-in-one) is used from newborn to toddler stage. Thus can be rare facing until my son is 2yrs and then forward facing afterwards and also converted to toddler seat from 4/5yrs. And yes hospitals will discharge u with convertible car seat as long as it meets d requirements eg has rear facing option for infants Most convertible car seats are bulky and heavy. Also the reasons most people prefer d infant car sear first because it's easier to use. U can leave d base in d car and carry only d car seat out with ur baby strapped. I feel it's most convenient especially if d baby Is sleeping. But for convertible car seats u ll av to go tru d stress of removin d baby from the car seat and it doesn't come with base. Also, infant car seat can be attached to a matching stroller for those that want stroller unlike convertible car seat that can't be attached to a stroller. Personally, I chose convertible car seat from birth because my son is very tall. He is less than a year old and infant car seat is too small for him already. I felt why spend money twice on car seat when I cud buy only once. favoredgal: 2 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Nita2013: 8:06am On Jun 10, 2015 |
In addition to what av be said u can check ur car seat in at d check-in counter or at d door of d plane. But if u r using a stroller with it, I ll advice u check d car seat in at d check-in counter and put ur baby in a stroller then check d stroller in at d door of d plane. Pls if u r getting a stroller get d one with atleast 3 reclining position so u cud lay ur baby down and not sit down after d car seat has been checked-in. Newmum15: |
