Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Omotweezy: 4:30pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
hello everyone , In the spirit of giving back . Pardon my long post . I flew emirates to dubai at 32 weeks , no fit to fly was asked for (after paying my doctor 10k for this). Stayed over in dubai for two weeks with my sister. Two days to my departure to New York , I started having painful contractions , was really bad . Called my naija doctor , told me to use ventolin tabs , no relieve A night before I left the pain intensified with more frequent contractions , my doctor told me to check into a hospital in dubai to check if am dilated , told me if I was 4cm dilated I had to choice but to give birth in dubai ( I said never , I ain't giving birth to an Arab baby ) Held on to my faith , got to the airport with a smile covering up my pains . Got on the flight , flight was smooth , no legs swollen . Getting to jfk , got on the wheel chair , was wheeled to the immigration . Officer ; hi Me ; good afternoon Officer; why you here Me ; vacation and to have my baby Officer ; punches on his system then took my finger prints . Then ask what do you do in Nigeria Me ; I am a **** Officer ; how are you paying your bills ,cheque or cash Me ; I have some cash with me and the rest in my card , which ever works . Officer ; how did u hear about the doctor Me ; he came highly recommended and I have read reviews about him Officer ; stamps me in for 6months . This took less than 5 mins . I was happy , got my luggage n moved to customes. Then one stern looking black officer asked for my pp n landing card . Saw my visa and started questioning me . Off; how long are you here for Me ; 3 months Off; can I see ur return ticket Off ; u mean you would stay in a hotel for 3months ? Me ; yes Off; is it already paid for ? Me ; not yet but I already booked it Off; collected the booking , asked me if I had family or friends in the U.S. ( I said no) asked me again (I said no) Off; asked me what I do in Nigeria ? Told him n said so am off work for 3 months Me ; yes I am maternity leave Officer , so you are having your baby here Am like oh yes !! Gives me my pp , he just wasted my time . Told me to move on , no agriculture with all the food I brought . I got out , headed to Maryland to check into a hospital , I was monitored for about an hour , doctor told me everything was fine that I was just 1.5cm dilated . Recommended pain killer n I was released. Heading back to New Jersey for my doctors appointment on Monday . Ps ; I actually have family n friends in the U.S. But I used a hotel reservation for my visa application , needed to stick with it. So sorry for the long post o , I even tried to cut the story short . My hands are aching sef .... 12 Likes |

[quote author=MaduxRox post=37047422][/quote] Hi MaduxRox based on what she told me the convo went something like this; VO: Purpose of travel Cousin: Vacation VO: What do u do? Cousin: I work with so and so construction company as an admin asst VO: What roles do you perform Cousin: So and So VO: How much do you earn Cousin: So and So, these are my pay slips VO: I don't need to see any document VO: Where and where have you travelled to Cousin: Ghana and China VO: When you visited China what places of interest did you visit Cousin: So and So VO: What and what do you plan to do in the US Cousin: Sightseeing and also would be helping my cousin who is to have her baby there VO: Oh so who is sponsoring the trip Cousin: My cousin is because she is the one who wants me to come, ordinarily I wouldn't be visiting the US now VO: When is your cousin due to give birth Cousin: So and So VO: I can see you applied for last month and u were denied, why have you reapplied so soon Cousin: Because I felt I wasn't given a chance to explain in detail my reasons for travel adequately to the officer and the time is fast approaching for my cousin to leave and she would need me pending when her husband comes to join her in the states as he cant be away from work for too long VO: Are you in a relationship?
