I renewed my B1/B2 visa late 2016 and had the intention of going on a family vacation with it in 2017. That trip couldn't happen, because of certain reasons, so that visa was unused and had just 5 days validity left on it when I flew KLM with my three children on 13th October, to go have my fourth child. I had almost taken the decision to get a fresh visa via dropbox , but changed my mind because of the increase in asking dropbox renewals to schedule interviews instead, my obviously pregnant belly and the difficulty in getting close interview dates. So, armed with the knowledge that I could be at the POE even at the last date and still get stamped in for six months, I decided to take my chances. I was 35 weeks and 5 days, at the time of the flight and at MMA, the fit-to-fly letter from my doctor wasn't requested for. While boarding after the layover at Amsterdam, that wasn't requested for either. We got into LAX about 11:30 am on 14th October and proceeded to CBP. All passengers were directed to use the many automated passport control kiosks to scan our visas and answer some questions. I declared that I had brought in some of the foods asked about, then proceeded to scan my visa. My old passports were attached to the newest, with rubber bands, so the entire thing was quite bulky. An officer noticed that I had difficulty scanning my visa, because of that, so he came over to help. I noticed that when the machine asked my reason for coming into the U.S., he selected "Pleasure". He also scanned my children's passports and the machine issued receipts for the four of us. Then, we proceeded to the CBP officers at the counter. The one I went to asked nothing about my very obvious pregnancy, correspondence with doctor or hospital, nor did he request to see previous childbirth bills. He didn't ask how much I brought in with me. I had already declared, on the machine, that I didn't have up to $10k cash with me, anyway. He asked what foods I had declared and I told him I brought in dried veggies and dried fish. Of course I had more food than that, but those were the only ones I had been required to declare. I had brought in two boxes of food from Nigeria. He asked when last I had come to the U.S. and I told him. He asked how often my kids had come to the U.S. and I told him how often each had come, since birth. He looked at my visa, then at his watch. I guess he wanted to confirm that the visa was still valid then. He asked how long I intended to stay and after I said, "Eight weeks," stamped me in till April 13th 2019, gave me back the receipts from the machine and pointed us in the baggage claim direction. The entire interaction with him took about five mins. We picked up our checked in luggage and headed to exit control, where the receipts were taken. We spent less than two mins there. From there, we exited the airport and got a taxi to the Airbnb home we had rented. Thanking God for a drama-free and very fast POE experience and resting up for my doctor and hospital appointments. 19 Likes |

Good afternoon Nairalander. I wished I had been on this platform years ago. My sister introduced this page to me and I am grateful that she did. I intend to go on my missionary journey soon and I plan o. Going to newyork. All the cost/bills that I have been seeing are on the high side. From 10k and above. Does anyone have any good recommendation?. I need help so that I can do more research. Thanks |

ninab: I doubt anyone would pick issues with her for going on a VALID visa. It was the smart thing to do at 35 weeks. Only hitch is you did not declare at POE that you came in for childbirth even though you're obviously pregnant. You should have mentioned it even though you were not asked. All the best with your delivery and future renewals. 9 Likes |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Momo13: 8:43pm On Oct 15, 2018 |
curiouslearner: I did. At 38 weeks. 12 hours from Lagos to Atlanta. POE was a breeze. Wasn't asked for previous receipts, asked about how much cash I held and if I declared childbirth at visa renewal interview. My experience overall on delta flight was great. I was allocated a row with 2 empty seats so I was able to lie down and sleep. In flight entertainment was great as well. Above all,Pray to be favoured. |

curiouslearner: Both united and delta takes about 12 hours to the US. For a pregnant lady or anyone else for that matter, I'd suggest the connection option. You get the advantage of at least seeing new faces, touching different airports and taking in fresh air at intervals (lol). Did Lufthansa in august, ABV to FRA to ORD, sweet. POE in ATL is a breeze, just answer their questions truthfully and you are on your way. 1 Like |

Hello nairalanders, I need a doctor and a cheaper hospital in Maryland. I am having multiples and the fees are very high. The doctor I got is going to received (2500 X the no of child delivered = $5000) as doctors fee only. Other fees aren't included. While the hospital fees at PG is starting from 10,000 upward. I do not know if this will be charged per child delivered. The doctors I have been getting have stopped accepting self pay patients, they only accept insurance. HELP IS NEEDED URGENTLY. Please any nairalander with a doctor that accepts self pay patients in Maryland and hospital fees are quite reasonable. Especially multiple birth. Precisely Maryland. I have a relative there which makes it easier for me. Thanking you in anticipation. |
