Ukemetuk: was abt asking this question too because i dnt even plan to travel with cash up to $1000. Also its my husband that will be sponsoring me, hope his statement of account is enough for me to show them or he must transfer his money into my own account? kindly advice |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Babatwi: 11:24am On Sep 15, 2017 |
Ukemetuk: The advantage of travelling with cash is that it saves you telling plenty story and assures the cbp officer right there that you can pay your bills. I have read here of people that travelled with cash of $100 and told cbp officer that they had cash in their account and they were allowed in, i have also read here too of people that travelled with $4,000 and they told cbp officer that they had the balance in their account and and the cbp officer gave the person their wifi password and told her to log into her bank online and pull up her account details so that he could verify if she had enough to cover the cost of child birth. I have also read on this thread of someone that was sent back at poe for lack of funds and was not given the opportunity to pull up her account details. So the decision is yours. 3 Likes 1 Share |

My people.... long time no see �.... I had thought my boots were hung for at least the next 3 years but Alas! see me here planning Feb 2018 trip �. I've tried catching up a bit and it's good to see a lot of old timers here still, even though a lot of PMing seems to be the way things are run now � I'm still trying to make up my mind between 3 options... My sister lives in Maryland but after what I saw for missionary journey number 2, I've told her not to be angry, na FaceTime go get us ���.... Anyhoo, it's good to be back. Ttyl! Ciao! 3 Likes |

good day everyone, I am a newbie on this thread and I will like to ask questions. DW is presently 11weeks old and we plan to apply for our visa next month. now, here are the questions 1. we are having virgin passports and neither of us has traveled before... would this affect our chances of getting the visa? 2. I work with immigration in Nigeria and hope to get an introduction letter from my office, she works with ministry of justice in her state, would the letter of introduction from her office help also? 3. should she declare her intention of giving birth? as we just want to apply for tourist visa 4. she will be staying with her family friends in Baltimore, should we get letter from them? the family is a green card bearer. 5. I don't intend to go with her now, I intend to join her when she give birth so that we can come back together as going with her now will add to our expenses, in this case would it affect me if I get visa now and did not go until she gives birth. 6. how much should be enough for hospitals, epidural and doctor's fee? I got one Doctores para ti in Texas, their bill is almost 6k... I believe she'll be in good hands with the family friends. 7. do we have to pay some bills before she go or we can pay everything when she gets there? 8. I intend to do all the processes directly, what's the success rate compare to those that went through agents? your kind response will be appreciated. |

elohim24: Answers: 1) Travel history helps,but people with virgin passports have gotten visas too. 2) Yes,Introductory letters from your employers will help 3) CAPITAL NO, she shouldn't apply for a tourist visa,she should declare her intentions and apply for a medical visa, while you (husband)should apply for a tourist visa. 4) It's not necessary 5) No it will not affect you,you can both apply now,while you join her later. 6) Your budget will determine what your final expenses will be,search for budget sheet on the search space on top of this page,it will give you an idea.Also read up. 7) It depends on you and your service providers,some demand and accept upfront payments,while others don't. Agent is a No No for me,I'll advice you read up here,it's not a complicated process,you can do it yourself. Do it yourself success rate is very high,in short ,this is a do it yourself forum. I hope I've been of help. 3 Likes 1 Share |

So in the spirit of giving back... Scheduled time for Emirates flight...5:50pm Time i arrived at MMIA...3:30pm (i dont know the devil that put one kain traffic jam on the road) Date of flight...sept. 12 Number of travellers...myself and active toddler Flew at 34 weeks and 2days Was asked for fit to fly before checkin...showed the emirates lady who then made a copy for me. Had one check in box. Picked up my hotel voucher as i had a 22hr layover in dubai. Got on the plane and was asked for my fit to fly which i gave them. I looked a lot bigger than 34 weeks though. The flight was smooth as expected with goodies for my kid. Arrived dubai at 4am ish. Asked where to get the hotel shuttle and was directed. Got to the hotel and checked in. It was time for breakfast by then so i simply showed my boarding pass and went to eat at the restaurant. Went up to my room took a nice long bath and rested with my toddler. Had lunch and dinner same way and then checked out by 11pm. Hotel shuttle dropped us at the airport. Boarded my flight and landed Orlando international on Thursday 14th at 10am. It wasnt easy considering my big tummy but i survived.lol. POE Experience I was among the first to alight the plane so i was like the 4th in line. Ours was tge only flight. Only one other Nigerian family on the flight. I noticed the CBP officers were all smiles and joking with others...my turn Me: good morning (with smiles)and hands over over passport to him Him :good morning(with a smile) Him : what brings you to the US today Me: am here to have my baby Him: youre pregnant? (Seems the smile reduced a bit or maybe i imagined it) Me: yes i am Him: how long will you be here for? Me:10weeks Him: how much to do you have on you? Me: 960 dollars and the rest on my card (it was after i spoke i realised i didnt say how much was on the card) Him:do you have any food items ( asking while looing at my landing card) Me: yes. Just Dried fish Him: place your 4 fingers and your thumb.( I do that) follow me and i'll take you to whom you will speak with. ( thats secondary inspection ) I get there and there's just one white man there. I sit and my toddler is busy talking and playing for Africa. The officer there is a woman Woman:how long are you here for? Me: 10 weeks ( am still sitting where i am as i answer) then i later go close to her Her: when are you due Me: october xx Her: do you have a doctor? Me: yes Her: any documents to back it up? Me : yes . I askes if she wants to see it and she responds in the affirmative. I hand it to her then go back to sit. (Envelope contents: fit to fly, letter from doctor, cost estimate from hospital, budget sheet, BoA account statement, hospital registration, email correspondence with doctors office) I sit for some minutes then she calls me to follow her. Says i should pick my bag and head to agric that my passport will be there and i can head out from there. Did that. Bag passed thru scanner...no need to open and inspect. Called my host and went home. ...so now we have a sample of orlando Sorry for the long post 18 Likes |

elohim24: Congratss elohim24 Welcome to this DIY Database for birthing in America. My first advice for you and your wifey is to take this thread as part time job, get notepads and start reading from say Part 3 and arm ourself with all the info you need plus peoples diverse experiwnces. Some of the questions you asked shows what yoy need is not first answers but info. and this thread has it. The issues is not about answering all these questions. but truth is the answers you make you have more questions and i bet you thats not the way to go first. Gather as much info as you can and come back for the tough ones. 1. Its not cast in stone Yes and No 2. Its good to have these lwtters - but its more about your application andnthe details 3. DECLARE YOUR INTENTION IS MUST and habe financial capability to prove your claim. THE TRUTH IS OUR SLOGAN HERE and its for your present and future good. 4. Invite letter not needed. 5. Not cast in stone. Many habe gone tpgether and got these visas. But i advise let her apply alone ans you serve as her tie to home. when she gets her visa and she is in the US then u can apply to go join her.. 6.Family or not your budget should be aboit 12-15 k USD to show with proof at embassy. 7. its up to you and if the hospital accepts part payment ? 8. Good yoy want to do it yoyrself this is a Do It Yourself Thread. We do it ourselves and we believe you can too After reading these i am sooo sure you now have more questions. Please take time to read your wife is still 11weeks so you guys still havw some time. Good luck and God bless |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by elohim24: 6:59pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
@babatwi and @Ramj, thanks for the response. why I intend for us to apply together is that introduction letter from my office carries more weight and if she's applying alone it will be difficult for her because she has no travel history, another thing is that must the fund all be in my account before we apply or I just need to have it by the time she's traveling? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Babatwi: 7:31pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
elohim24:Funds should be in your account as at when applying,cause you will have to go to the embassy with 6months bank statement,if you are acting as the sponsor,if not it can be in her account. But note that you should be able to explain any huge deposit into the account. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Nobody: 7:46pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
I will advise that you travel with money, as much as you can afford and be ready to defend it. I traveled with 4k and the poe officer wanted to know why. I told him that was all I could buy from a bank in Nigeria and I had my cresit card with me. Maggiespecial: |
