Hi every1 I am a newbie here and have learnt alot from this forum.Thanks every1 for your contribution.now it's time for me to give something back to this forum.i got last year my B1/B2 visa for vacation with my son and hubby which was utilized well. Then after coming to this forum we decided to have our baby in usa.after I got pregnant I sent my intension email to usa embassy and got the reply that I can travel. I am one of those who booked appointment with mihs b4. I prepared all my burdon of proofs and in the name of God travel to USA at 32 weeks this Sunday via american airlines. My 1st stop was Heathrow for 2 hrs.i requested wheelchair service which helped me alot to save time and energy and got priority treatment everywhere. My port of entry was jfk which was too crowded but again due to wheel chair service I passed all of them and wheeled directly to CBP officer who was a black guy. Here is our conversation Me: hello CBP officer:.....give me ur passport. Me:ok CBP officer: purpose of your travel? Me:to seek medical treatment for childbirth,vacation and shopping CBP officer:so you are pregnant Me:yes CBP officer:how far have you gone Me:32 weeks CBP officer:so you are going to deliver your baby here Me:yes CBP officer:who is sponsoring you? Me:My hubby.I gave him my husband company letter stating his designation and salary,his bank account statement,also told him that I declared my money above 10000$. CBP officer : how long you are staying Me:11wks CBP officer : your husband will join you Me:yes before delivery as he is a busy man so can't come for a long time. CBP officer : how long did you stayed b4 Me:15 days Stamped me in for 6 months and sent me to fill declaration form.no bags were checked,no secondary inspection.connected to the next flight which was after 2 n half hr of my arrival in jfk.reached phoenix,bought maternity package,now waiting for my dr appointment which is on Monday. Good luck every1 and lots of prayers for every1. Just 1 request to keep helping each other to achieve our dreams together and never think that u hv struggled alot to get info so other should also do the same.Every1 has their own capabilities and anyways God is always going to reward you in many other ways With love Mommymon 20 Likes |

so people frustration wanted to kill me since yesterday. went to carters yesterday and after selecting and selecting got to the counter to pay na dey said 756$ no wahala na. swiped my fcmb card it was declined, did it twice still declined had to beg them to keep d stuff till today. got there today still couldnt use the card. sent a mail to customer service and dey said its cus of d 300$ limit on pos by cbn. I was like I used my fidelity card jus last month to pay my bills wit jus a swipe na. dey sha increased it for me to 500$ and I still couldnt use the card. I had to make a call to transfer sm money from my fcmb to fidelity and I made the payment with one swipe. moral of the story: ensure you travel with a bank card that is trusted and any issues they can resolve it sharply. plus put the 100$ atm and 300$ pos daily limit into ur spending plans I deport from white man land on Friday and boy I cant wait to go and eat nkwobi and ishewu 3 Likes |

when hubby and i started this american baby tins i dint know it can be this tasking. this forum has been our consolation that NLs are doing it and its def working. we are confused 1. the family who wants to accomodate us in chicago live close to swedish convenant hospital but we still havent been able to reach any doctor successfully. no email. no phone no. (family na old aunt that is unable to go hospital to enquire for us) 2. if we are getting letter of invite, should it state we are being invited to come for vacation and birth or just vacation 3. is it a crime to state during interview that one is going to a particular state, and when u fly, you travel to another state. am asking cos time is going and we havent been able to apply for visa as hospital isnt settled yet. (dont know if we can use fagboun's quotationher gaveand do interview for houston but fly to chicago) 4. through your wonderful help, we read about dr fares in new jersey but we havent been able to find affordable accomodation around nj if you have any help with this two states, pleaseeeeee kindly assist. we beg you thank u @ALL |

Uptown17 Lemme b practical with you Why go to a state where u wld spend more just because u have to stay with a family member? Consider transport + hospital bill I don't get it at all o! Let's say u go to a state and get like less than 6k or let's say 6k sef (without epi) and then u find accommodation where u pay 1k monthly for 3months (u get free ride to hospital weekly and grocery shopping) U end up spending 9k for Hosp + accommodation +transport (at least before u put to bed). So it's not bout getting free accommodation it's what it will cost you at the end. It's not how close the hospital is, it's how affordable it is for you (weigh your pocket) But we will b happy if you can get new hospitals and share d cost breakdown stories about affordable hospitals in some states with affordable accommodation have been shared severally... Once again if u are reading you wld have read a lot of similar stories like yours |
