Got into Houston on a Sunday and all was well. On Monday night my water broke. Baby was delivered via cs on Tuesday night. She wasn't breathing or making a sound. Fear ripped thru me. 12 minutes of silence! Then i heard that beautiful cry.! Glory to God.
Coz she came early, she was put in nicu level 2. Eventually got discharged from d hospital. Now the bills are coming in. Hmmm, my pple, i don't even know where to start from. Nicu bill is over the roof! Hospt bill for baby too. May God help me.
Special thanks to those who gave me advice d other time. @adebuble, @suntai for the prayers, @shrekandfiona, @nefertitiram, @adiahabasi, @modath, @cindermum, @happytbaby, @theleakytribe, @ladyguinivere.

Hi everyone. The last time i posted on here was when i did renewal via dropbox but was called for interview and denied a visa.
I reapplied and was interviewed a month later. And to the glory of God i was granted the visa. I was already heavily pregnant so i had to travel immediately. I didn't get PTA in Abuja. I travelled at 34 weeks 6days via airfrance. At d airport, i had to do another fit to fly at port health.
Requested wheelchair so journey was easy.
Got into the USA via Houston POE. wheelchair service took me to d front. Was immediately sent for secondary inspection. I had just 2000usd on me. I had paid hospital and doctor's fees before i got in so i just showed them my receipts. They were nice and friendly. Two of them interviewed me at d same time. It was fun for me. I invited them to Nigeria so i could give one of them a Nigerian wife. Lol. Got stamped in for 6months. He however told me to come with my receipts every time i travel coz they will always ask me. And that they know about nairaland. That Nigeria is d only country that has such a forum. I laughed and said sharing information is free and legal. He said well that's true. That we should just tell our pple to pay their bills.


Congratulations.

Great news.

Meanwhile has anyone heard from Onlineise and Emeriem just thought about them today. Not sure I got the names right sha.

Wow! Thank God for preserving your beautiful one. Scary something. You must have shed tears at the sound of that her first cry.
God bless her.
And may God, who kept your baby alive, provide for you to offset your bills, and give you miraculous favor all the way.
It is well.

Both of them are doing great... thanks for asking after them... how ya doing too?


Bublehot ,

Some things after paying for excess baggage fee , I found out na just oversabi cos the price here is just 700 naira difference!!! cheesy Guess it's cos dem importers dey buy containers while we buy retail in stores or costco/sam's club..
Try and check that it's not load for no reason.

No matter what you do however, Please don't ship wipes, you can buy 2 or 3 to use till you are fit to run around!! Wipes are just waterlogged absorbent tissue, not worth paying to "carry water".. My 2k

Depends on how much stuff you're bringing.
Compare the costs of paying for extra luggage on your flight with the freight costs for both air and sea.

We used both. Air freight for stuff we needed immediately, sea cargo for stuff we wouldn't need until much later (larger sized diapers and wipes) and also we carried a lot of stuff with us when coming back.

You should also consider if you can get the items in Nigeria. It may be cheaper for you to buy the items in Nigeria when you factor in all the costs of shipping and clearing.

Hope this helps you make your decision
Thanks a lot

I didnt reply cos I assumed your question was a rhetoric one.
U cannot use a sibling as a tie.
I also can't suggest what u can use as a tie. U fill your form truthfully and answer any questions asked the same way.The vo looks at your whole circumstances and adjudges based on that. So either u gorrit or u don't gorrit.
The only thing I can add is, if your travel history has not been to 'better' countries, sit this one out and let madam reapply alone.
PS: NOUN is an online university abi? That one no follow as ties


Pele MamaG, it is well with your soul
I have been to Malaysia, South Africa, Kenya & Ben Rep. But my wife has not been to anywhere and she has never applied before like I earlier told you. Noun is not an online Uni but a fedr Uni all over every state in Naija. Left to me I'm busy here but because she doesn't have traveling experience at all and we are carrying twins that's why I suggest applying with her.
Pls what do you suggest.
Thanks for always being there for us all.
Cc: all, I need suggestion from all too

Thank God for you and baby. try and negotiate the bill well, if you can't pay all at once, arrange a payment plan as someone already suggested.

I wish you safe trip back home.

Cheldas ask yourself. Which is better? To be a burden to madam or allow her try her luck?
In my opinion, those countries you mentioned don't have much weight. Let her aply. If she gets the visa, you can start worrying about the next step. That's my final opinion mbok

Hey dear


I think you need to follow me or so as per the pms and

No i didn't go with any admission letter. Went with a letter the hospital scanned to me. I don't know anything about ur hospital dear. All needed and requested for form A are:

1. Reference letter from Naija introducing you briefly, I shared a template here, u can go thru my posts

2. Letter from the hospital/invoice signed and addressed to u

3. Visa page

4. Ticket

5. Passport/Data page.

I intend using Oakbend and I took their Ob package form,scanned letter as registered and above listed docs.

Should u require further assistance, do get in touch.

All the best.


newmomma2be:


Hi Biollar1,

I wanted to ask you about Form A @ Stanbic. I was there yesterday and was asked for 'admission letter' and invoice from the hospital. The staff explained that the admission letter indicates that the hospital has booked you.

I don't have such letter, I only have a price estimate (invoice) from them (North side hospital, Atlanta). Do you have such letter from your hospital or do you think Doctor's appointment letter will suffice?

And no, I didn't get any of your PMs.

Thank you
