Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by Nobody: 4:35pm On Mar 12, 2016 |
Moyetty:hi moyetty if you have read previous posts you'll see that people return as early as two weeks after delivery upwards also as for tests if you also read back you'll see that some tests are accepted while some are rejected outright,some doctors don't accept tests from outside the US while some do it all depends on the doctor you intend using also most people shop for the bulk of their baby stuff while in the u.s and either cargo abi na ship back, then lastly some mama's leave as early as 20-24 weeks depending on the type of pregnancy if it's high risk or not and we have also read on here of people leaving as late as 36 weeks, but the best is to leave at a proper time not as at late as 35 or 36 weeks abeg, if you read back all the answers to these questions you ask dey there, cheers! 8 Likes |

ZillyO: The Nurse was correct in her measurement, it's not an exact science usually the measured value is + /-2weeks the actual value and that is if everything is normal. Other conditions cam make this vary considerably. The nurse probably went along with what you implied cos the 32wks she measured was still in keeping with 30wks. Anyways thank God u got what you needed |

They do not carry anyone later than 28 weeks except you are prepared to lie. April is not an option for me. My husband will not even agree for us to fly Arik. From ZillyO's post I guess they have reviewed to 30 weeks bolof2010: |

I think these border agency guys are getting more hostile by the day. Ok here goes my POE experience, flew Lufthansa fm Abuja to Philadelphia via frankfurt. No issues departing was sent briefly to medical to confirm my fitness to fly letter. All was well. After 15hrs of flying and roughly 5hrs stop over time we eventually arrive Philadelphia. Am extremely exhausted feet swollen n all. Getting to my turn at customs took almost an hour, officer asks so you planning to stay at so n so, I replied in the affirmative. Officer: Why? Me: Cos I have family there. Officer: name of person n occupation Me gives details Officer: how long are you staying? Me: will be leaving by May Officer: let's take ur prints Prints taken, he leads me to their secondary inspection room and says you have a seat my colleagues will be with you shortly. We were told we are not allowed to use our phones. Been through this b4 so I knew they were going to keep me there to stew a while. Quickly bring out a book and begin to read. Shortly turns into an hour l8r b4 another officer calls out my name. I was still in the process of getting my pregnant body of the seat to approach the counter when he bellows out to the hearing of the entire room, "yes! (My name!), we know y ur here, you are pregnant and you are here to have your baby. You came here last time and had your baby here! Now, everyone in the room (other officers and fellow detainees) are staring at me. At this point a female officer joins the male one and two of them are firing questions at me! I go like, yes am here to have my baby and that was what I told the Officer at the embassy when I applied for my visa. Lady officer: why do you keep coming here to have ur babies? Me: I usually have complications towards the end of my pregnancy Lady officer: what kind of complications Male officer interjects: She says she told the officer at the embassy, hang on I will quickly verify Taps on keyboard, turns red faced and begins to gently nod. Lady officer: how did u pay for the bills or did u use Medicaid? Me: I paid all my bills in full Lady officer: how much did it amount to? Me abt 8000dollars Male officer: Do you have the receipts with you? Me: yes, get up from my seat again and begins to hand over the receipts one by one. He gets tired of seeing receipts asks me to go sit down once again. Lady officer is busy scrutinising the screen that has my info, and she asks have u been denied a UK visa b4? Me: No, I catch on to what she may be referring to and quickly add, I was denied a US visa when I was living in the UK and applied from there. Lady officer: y? Me: Cause I was told I didn't have sufficient ties to the UK at the time. Lady:how much did u p how do u intend to pay this time, and how much cash did u travel with Me: I don't travel with my money cash, just travel with my cards. I have tge money in my account Male officer: sit down, ok give me 5mins Both officers mumble amongst themselves. Then Lady: you are a Dr? Me: yes Lady: where do u work? Me: details Lady: where ![]() In my mind am like do u know anywhere in 9ja, y u dey ask me? Me: in Nigeria. Male officer: asks me to come forward, asks how long am staying and stamps my passport for 6mths, reminds me to always travel with my receipts even though he is going to type in that he saw them on this occasion. Was grilling, but in all we thank God. Subsequent check at agriculture was a breeze the guy there come dey pity me say everyone don leave. Was like you must have been in there a long time, seems your the last one out! Asked me what foodstuff i had, told him fish/crayfish then he Just scanned my boxes n let me go! 30 Likes 1 Share |

Xenadarl: Congrats on your successful entry.....but like I keep saying, JFK is it!!! You scan your passport and finger prints yourself on the computer and take your print out way before you meet the officer who in less than one minute puts the physical stamp on your passport. It's stress free |
