@BCCH from the trend ofthe transcript, you guys were nearly bounced. She now even asked for marriage certificate. Right now, the success of ur interview is largely dependent on documentary evidence so I believe u should please include EVERY docx that can support your case so u won't be there again to explain youself. Best be sure that they will verify those documents. Don't forget to revise the budgetsheet. To reflect any additional costs. God's grace |

Hello Everyone, I have some questions. My cousin is in the process of registering with the hospital and she needs a physical address to provide to the hospital for further communication. Now here is my question: Is it okay for her to give the address of a non citizen (not a green card holder) to the hospital? Will the American embassy in Nigeria frown at it & thereby deny her? Can the cousin (who is NOT illegal and has his proper papers) be sanctioned for inviting her despite not being a citizen? We just need to know if it's anything to worry about. Thanks and God bless as you reply. |

firsttymum:Yea I understand, that was going to be my next point that you need to go online to check. Saying there was no time frame implies that you are allowed to be in the US indefinitely, which we know to not be the case |

Pls,I have a question for those that have used money gram to make transfer.A friend of mine that birthed in US opened an account with Bank of America,I want to send money to that account through money gram,will her account be credited or does she have to physically go to the bank to collect the money.she would be coming back this weekend. I intend to collect the dollar here from her hubby if her account would be credited through money gram. Thanks |

jasmine21: So, this person if I understand you properly isn't a citizen or PR. Is he a student? They may want to know his legal status in the Country. Revealing this persons legal status in the United States would paint a clearer picture. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by jasmine21(f): 10:55pm On Feb 04, 2016 |
Amother4life: He is currently on a student work permit (after graduation). Working towards a standard work permit (H1-B visa). What do you think? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by kemmytino(f): 11:22pm On Feb 04, 2016 |
veleta: Moneygram is receivable at d agents location and cannot be transfered to an account. So she can rcv d money in places like walmart etc or u do a foreign funds transfer directly to d acct. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by Peebles23(f): 11:26pm On Feb 04, 2016 |
veleta: U Cnt send it to her account directly I guess u'll jus do d moneygramm nd then she will go to any outlet like a big walmart, fiesta or Kroger to collect d cash thatz wat has been working for me here thou, i dnt think bank of America receive moneygramm. Gurus pls contribute. |

BCCH: Its interesting that they no longer want to receive emails as evidence, and will surely complicate some people's applications. The VO is asking for the documents that Doctoresparati offers with enrollment and personalized letter. It seems as the more the Naira devalues against the dollar, more people are encouraged have babies in the US for future security for their families. |

Firstly, Wiffy got to US through New York for the intent of giving birth in Texas using Arikair to New York and American local airline to Texas. She was asked to pre-registered at the electronic kiosk before proceeding to the CBP officer desk for fingerprint and image capturing. CBP: What the purpose of your trip? Wife: TO give birth CBP: How are you going to pay for it? Wiffy: I have $500 cash with me and I have some $6500 on a debit card here with me CBP: Where are you going to stay here Wiffy: Gave the address in Texas CBP: Whats the relationship of the person to you? Wiffy: Aunt CBP: Whats the sex of the baby? .... smiles WIffy: Told him CBP: Proceed to get your bag and declare what you have there at the other end Wiffy: Thank you No secondary inspection. She was through within 5 minutes. At the declaring place: She said two officers were talking to each other what she said to the CBP officer (that she was here to give birth). The other just said my wife did and it seems america is interested in adding to its population (something like colleagues at work chatting). They asked the content of her bag and she said "Melon" they exclaimed the Melon (possibly because they thought its dangerous) and asked to proceed to a machine to scan the melon. They ask if she has gala, indomine, maggi and she answered in negative and so one of her bag was scanned in the machine and they allow her to go. Secondly, let me share with you how we bought her ticket at total price of 218578.46 Naira. We booked Lagos-NewYork-Lagos with airkair at 189392.00 and One-way ticket from NewYork to Houston at $108.10 (gtbank charged 29186.46 naira for that). Our preference for airkair are because: it is tiwa-n-tiwa, better price, direct to New York, they contribute to US economy and more to Nigeria economy and we also don't want to despise our own thing (though we know there are big room for improvement with Arikair). Wiffy left Lagos at 28 weeks. Arik requested for fit-to-fly certificate and we went to Port-Health Clinic for one at the rate of 1200naira and she was examined to be 26 weeks (that was what they wrote on the certificate without anyone telling them what to do or her pregnancy age. They only asked about her last menstra date) 11 Likes 2 Shares |

LadyGuinivere you cracked me up ![]() ![]() ![]() Keystone Bank is selling to account holders(3-6mths) with a turnover of 1m.I didn't qualify ![]() Try the banks with low customer base.I intend to travel to Fidelity in Aba today where it's confirmed they have but I must open account (3hrs drive from where I am) Try Unity Bank H/O on Monday there is a possibility but you must be an account holder. I love Gtb but they have nothing to offer and they are thieves even when someone made a deposit in my presence for transfer they still refuse to sell. And to CBN officials, Bank CEOs and Mastercard/Visa merchants that sits to share the loot made from the black market rate charged on hard working pple transactions,sicknesses,diseases and infirmities shall continually be their lot until they stop. ![]() 2 Likes |

[quote author=LadyGuinivere post=42636089][color=#000099] Sorry i yam not a banker neither hav you tosh my life but am moved by your appeal. I heard that those malams at the airport change $1 denomination for btw 240 and 250 so as a last option if you can't PTA you can change that on your way out just make sure you go to the airport with your Ghana must go to carry the cash and deposit it in your acct when you get to the US then use your card or withdraw in larger denomination latter. Pls make una no ask me kwention ooo I yav not tried it ooo somebody just told me that was what she did last week. |

Congrats to all successful visa applications, all successful POEs entry, to all mothers and fathers for our LO's , also to all preggers..... e ma so layo o.....loruko Jesu. And to all waiting on the Lord, May God satisfy your innermost heart desires speedily! Amen! I went, saw and conquered. Operation mission accomplished..... I had a scheduled CS with Dr E and my bills remained the same, except of course for NICS and Brown n associates. NICS discounted to $419.98(I still don't get the change in prices) Brown and associates discounted to $81.02 I eventually sorted my toddler's ticket with Airfrance by paying $1,500.50 at the airport after being told by an uninformed customer rep to add him to my mum's ticket from the Houston to Paris leg, then pay the difference of fare for Paris to Lagos leg (lesson learnt...... please read the airline requirements before purchasing not minding the information given to you by their customer service. Thank you to everyone for your help and to those who contacted me privately.... I appreciate you too. Thank you. To accommodation, please shine your eyes well especially for the seemingly not-so-expensive accommodation that eventually allows you spend more on transportation.....I stayed at a shared apartment with my bathroom n toilet, only shared kitchen and living room, the distance to the clinic was 28-32 mins depending on traffic(in houston, that was far!) I ended up spending the savings I got on accommodation on transportation and even more! Please take accommodation really close to the clinic like about 10-15mins. I met and kept contacts of some wonderful mothers turned sisters at the clinic who stayed in places like 10-15mins, and really made sense with pickup services(if required) I don't know if it's fine to put up contacts here, before Justwise raptures my post. 9 Likes |
