Jiji11:


It's for medical/school fees oh and not personal accounts transfer. Just use it to pay for your hospital fees and dr fees and have your PTA as your 'vex money' and for additional expenses, shopping et al.

you can't even use formA for a doctors account directly only if both are charged together under one package like the one doctoresparati advertises then you can pay direct to hospital and they sort themselves out

[@maggie0133 let me send u what i have.

I don't think Naiaraland rules prohibit you from naming the hospital where you had vbac and the maternity package. This is one of the major purposes of this thread.I don't see why the lady has to PM you to get the info. Please share here except you have more to say than that. Please don't use Justwises' moderation as a reason. If you have other reasons...fine

Good evening house. I have followed this thread for a very long time. I got a b1/b2 visa last year (Oct. 2015) was supposed to travel in Nov but hubby was promoted and we couldn't travel. Right now I'm pregnant and will like to give birth in the US. Pregnancy was just confirmed so I'll be due in Nov. or so. Some friends think I should travel before I am due (like in June or August), Then travel again when I'm due to avoid being sent back. I really don't know what to do. Please help a sister.

Lol... Wetin I do nah...

Hmmmmm, where do I start?
Firstly, @ Zumabeezi (sorry if I got that wrong). Thanks for noticing. I appreciate.
As for my PTA, I no get oooo after all the hussle. I changed money with BDC @ 354.
Before leaving I asked a custom relative who told me we are only entitled to 5k now per person.
So me and mum 10k.
Immigration officer in Abuja: How much do you have?
Me: 10k.
Is dat all
Me: yes
Actually, we had 10,096.30
Declared it with my complementary card.
Lufthansa sent me to Port Health. Where I paid 3k only for her to write everything my doctor wrote down in her own except she had to write 34 weeks instead 35weeks + my doctor wrote for me.
I left naija on thurs via lufthansa with mum and kids and got to Houston on friday afternoon.
It was not an easy one at all. Over stressful.
I booked for wheel chair which wheeled me to immigration officer.
Officer: Why are u visiting?
Me: Child birth and Holidays
Officer: Put in Finger prints....
Officer: Which tourist attractions will you be visiting.
He did not notice I was pregnant cos I was carrying one kid with my carry on bag on the wheel car.
Me: Am here for child birth
Officer: How much do you have?
Me: 10k
Calls an officer and sends me to secondary inspection
Thats where the saga begins.........
The officer woman...
Why are you on a wheel chair. Can't you walk?
Me: I can
Officer woman: Asks my mum. Why are on wheel chair too. Is anything wrong with you? We requested for two. Me and mum.
Mum: No
Officer woman: Tells the wheelers wheeling us to leave us and go.
Wheeler: They have a connecting flight to elpaso to catch in 3 hrs.
Officer woman: So what....?
Officer woman: How much do u hv on u.
Me: 10k
Officer woman: How did you get it?
Me: BDC
Officer woman: let me have your doctor's letter and fit to fly. Which I gave her.
Wheelers leaves us behind. So we had to sit down. There were lots of people in Sec Inspection but didnt see any preggo while I was there.
The waiting no be small things...
Another officer: Calls mum and interviewed her. Like how much she had and how much I had. My mum had only little money on her plus little naira. Asked who my kids were? Why I decided to birth In elpaso of all places. Mum said it was my choice.
Mum: Comes back. Sits and tried to tell me the things they asked her.
An officer noticed and doesn't want us to communicate.
Takes my mum to a seat behind and takes me and my kids to another room where they have play toys with a bed.
An officer comes to ask what we need. I said I was okay but he brings 2 packs of juice and mac and cheese for the kids.
After a while.....
An officer ushers me into the interviewing room
Na there the main action film starts...
Officer Man: How much do you have?
Me: 10k
Officer: Are u sure u have up to that amount:
Me: Yes
Officer: Lets see.
Counts and indeed complete.
Officer: Do u have another currency with you.
Me: Brings out 1,300 naira in my wallet.
Officer: You declared u did not have more than 10k. U lied. I told him that the 1,300 was insignificant to me. I didn't know it meant anything. Hmmmm, strike 1 for me
Officer: Starts asking me plenty questions. I can't write it all. Will mention a few.
What I do? How much I earn? What DH does? How much he earns? What kind of car I drive? How much is our house rent? How much I had in all bank acc. Goes through all the visa's in my passport. U hv travelled alot. I said yes. Also, asked the POE I used the last time I visited US. I said New York.
Asked me to write down some stuffs like address in naija, address of hotel I will stay in US, my parents names, kids names and dh name and some details about them.
Officer: Did U and DH save for the trip.
Me: No
Officer: How did you get the 10k dollars?
Me: Both me and DH's money but mostly DH's money.
HIGHLIGHT:
The officer woman took my phone from me which she went through. Watsapp, email, etc and some things were screen grabbed pertaining my trip and conversations about this trip and they asked me questions about it. They looked for every implicating thing on my phone.
Officer asked me if I ever discussed about coming to give birth in US with anyone.
OFFICER EVEN TOLD ME ABOUT NAIRA LAND. THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. THAT THEY FOLLOW IT. He said something about us saying Houston is a tight POE. I told him I followed houston irrespective of that because I know I am coming genuinely to have my baby and I am willing to pay every dime.
I almost thought I was about to be sent back with all the series of question. Thank God for burden of proof ( in cash form).
After every every; officer says they will allow me to go in but I should make sure I pay all my bills. Get receipt and zero bal from doctor and hospital etc. I will show it everytime I visit. He said its not illegal to give birth but not when u come and not pay cos they the tax payers will have to pay for it which they can't do for their children. Also, I should make sure I read every document b4 signing cos medicare people would even come to you after you have your baby.
He says you get barred from US etc when you don't pay.
WELL, I know all that already and I will pay all my bills and I am prepared to do so.
I LEFT AFTER 4 HRS AND I MISSED MY FLIGHT
I could only be rescheduled the next day on united and it was not a direct flight. I went through denver.
I couldn't check into intown suites agin cos we got into elpaso at 10pm on sat and their office has closed and was told they dont open on sundays.
So we paid for 2 nights at a hotel. The airport shuttle picked us up and they give free breakfast.
So will check into Intown suites tomorrow.
IF YOU ASK ME SINCERITY PAYS COS WHAT WILL BE WILL BE...
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS WITHOUT CRITICISM AND SARCASM. Also, to all nairalanders cos your information here helped alot.

Sorry, I meant 2k. Port health charged me 2k only.

He says you get barred from US etc when you don't pay.
WELL, I know all that already and I will pay all my bills and I am prepared to do so.
I LEFT AFTER 4 HRS AND I MISSED MY FLIGHT
I could only be rescheduled the next day on united and it was not a direct flight. I went through denver.
I couldn't check into intown suites agin cos we got into elpaso at 10pm on sat and their office has closed and was told they dont open on sundays.
So we paid for 2 nights at a hotel. The airport shuttle picked us up and they give free breakfast.
So will check into Intown suites tomorrow.
IF YOU ASK ME SINCERITY PAYS COS WHAT WILL BE WILL BE...

Lol... Wetin I do nah...

You know nah!

emeldamicheals:
Hmmmmm, where do I start?
Firstly, @ Zumabeezi (sorry if I got that wrong). Thanks for noticing. I appreciate.
As for my PTA, I no get oooo after all the hussle. I changed money with BDC @ 354.
Before leaving I asked a custom relative who told me we are only entitled to 5k now per person.
So me and mum 10k.
Immigration officer in Abuja: How much do you have?
Me: 10k.
Is dat all
Me: yes
Actually, we had 10,096.30
Declared it with my complementary card.
Lufthansa sent me to Port Health. Where I paid 3k only for her to write everything my doctor wrote down in her own except she had to write 34 weeks instead 35weeks + my doctor wrote for me.
I left naija on thurs via lufthansa with mum and kids and got to Houston on friday afternoon.
It was not an easy one at all. Over stressful.
I booked for wheel chair which wheeled me to immigration officer.
HIGHLIGHT:
The officer woman took my phone from me which she went through. Watsapp, email, etc and some things were screen grabbed pertaining my trip and conversations about this trip and they asked me questions about it. They looked for every implicating thing on my phone.
Officer asked me if I ever discussed about coming to give birth in US with anyone.
OFFICER EVEN TOLD ME ABOUT NAIRA LAND. THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. THAT THEY FOLLOW IT. He said something about us saying Houston is a tight POE. I told him I followed houston irrespective of that because I know I am coming genuinely to have my baby and I am willing to pay every dime.
I almost thought I was about to be sent back with all the series of question. Thank God for burden of proof ( in cash form).
After every every; officer says they will allow me to go in but I should make sure I pay all my bills. Get receipt and zero bal from doctor and hospital etc. I will show it everytime I visit. He said its not illegal to give birth but not when u come and not pay cos they the tax payers will have to pay for it which they can't do for their children. Also, I should make sure I read every document b4 signing cos medicare people would even come to you after you have your baby.

wow! You went thru a whole lot of stress o. As for that Houston POE, why the hostility? it's like they look for reasons to send people away, even when its clear you aren't doing anything wrong or illegal. So sad you had to buy black market. I pray i get bank rate otherwise i'll cancel this journey.
Thank God you're settled now.

hello, please how did you pay for your appointment with doctor z?

Welcome @ emeldamicheals, thank GOD you scaled thru. This your POE looks like mine in 2014.
Those Houston CBP's eh, just wen dey know dry can't send you back cos you came prepared, dey decide to scrutinize and stress you and waste your time to know if you will change story. They are always like that.

chloe7:
you can't even use formA for a doctors account directly only if both are charged together under one package like the one doctoresparati advertises then you can pay direct to hospital and they sort themselves out

Is this info correct? I applied for form a to my doctors acct directly last week and didnt get such feedback
