customised87:. Of course anyone can use the post office. Never implied otherwise. but considering u have to get ur BC before applying. If you have less than one month or at most three weeks, u might not get it before ur travel date. Cos the fastest u can receive the passport is two weeks. Just letting pple know about that option so they can use it if they have the time instead of booking flight and train to new York or Washington 1 Like |

[quote author=swappylove post=46368471] When I paid 165 n got it the n Next day [/quote. You paid 165 at the passport agency. Passport agency are not every state. For instance for pple in Maryland and Virginia , the nearest agency is in Washington. So when u add the train or taxi money plus the stress of draging the baby. |

OK, here we go: After successfully paying North side via Form A, got 2k PTA from gtbank, submitted my medical forms @ Qatar office a week to my travel date. I felt I was ready to travel Boarded Qatar airways @34 weeks. Wore my compression socks during the flight and walked around. Was lodged at the Airport hotel during the 9hour layover (my room was on point!). Almost overslept but thanks to the wake up call set by reception....hehehehehe. The flight from Doha to Atlanta was 15 hours long but I was pampered by the cabin crew. Arrived Atlanta, was on the queue for 35 mins and was interviewed by a middle aged white guy: Me: Hello CBP: Hello CBP: Where are you coming from? Me: Nigeria CBP: Why are you here in Atlanta? Me: To have my baby! (Smiling hugely) CBP: So have you paid all your hospital bills? Me: Yes but yet to pay the doctor's fee CBP: How much cash do you have on you Me: 2,000usd CBP: He was surprised. So you are only here with doctor's money? Me: of course not. Am with my Master card. I do not like to carry so much cash. CBP: So you came all the way to America just to have your baby? Me: Yes because its my first and I want the best healthcare for both of us. CBP: Do you have any food Me: yes. Garrison, Egusi, bitter kola, kolanut etc He stamped me in for 6 months and sent me to agriculture. Throughout the encounter, I did not show him any evidence of any kind. The only document I held was my passport and customs declaration form. At agriculture, no food item was seized. I was specifically asked for gala, garri and egusi. I said no to gala and yes to the others. My bag was opened after it was scanned but nothing was seized. That's it folks. Chilling with my in laws and eating naija food....hehehe. cutie333: 20 Likes |

Hi Austine, They might just want to know why she was denied a Schengen Visa! I would not want to delve into how you got your EU passport but you should check US visa form to see if husband and kid's nationality was asked for and what your reply was! The VO could b thinking why d denial if u hold an EU passport and why schengen visa instead of an entry clearance /residence permit! Then again, it could just b a random check but b prepared. P.S: I'm no expert on immigration matters! Austine2020: |

Thank you chloe7. Not too familiar with the PM option. Checked some mama's who have used Amb Stella for ETC, tried sending an email to some, but replies that I am sending anonymous messages. Is there something I need to do. Mama's who have used Amb Stella Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) can you PM me so I can get her details |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by Austine2020: 4:56pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
jinglesbaby:That might be one of the reasons, but its still proper to give your kids citizenship without giving your wife,because theirs is always easier without hassels than giving your wife. It has happened to a lot of people in Europe.Secondly,she has traveled so many times to Europe before she got this US Visa,but u know EU people are sometimes crazy when it comes to visa issuance. But all the same thanks for your advice,I will put it into consideration as well. 1 Like |
