Na wa oo. Are u sure this people don't come to read our comments here and then get ready for us. How did they know about Nairaland forum.
So for people like us that have our visa dates ahead, do we still have hope??

Hello everyone, I am in Chicago now and I MUST give back. It was a horrible experience but I got in.
I took the BA flight and arrived Chicago for 11;30.
CBP- good morning how are u and why are u here?
Me: good morning , vacation and to birth my baby.
CBP: Stands up to meet another officer, comes aback and says this way ma( secondary things☹️)
After sitting a while a middle aged woman calls me
CBP 2: madam, can I have confirmation that the hospital has accepted to treat u?
Me: stroger doesn’t give correspondence but here is the medical number opened for me it has my dates and my first appointment
CBP: that is not my job. What u have her is crap.
Me: Crap ke? Call first na!!( this point, I was already tired from the long journey)
CBP2: how much do u have
Me: 6900 in cash and 7000 In my wells card
CBP2: Go sit down, I’ll call u later.
Approximately 15mins after, she calls me in with a superior.
CBP: madam, these information u provided are not valid , we are sending u home.
Me: Home? Why? I can pay for these things( I begin analyse bla bla)
CBP: let me have ur phone and it’s password, please sit down.
Another 30mins after
CBP: you read nairaland?
Me: Yes
CBP: that nairaland devices u all, u should ask the us govt ur questions not a bunch of guessers
Me: I did contact the govt on a change of intent.
CBP: well, ure only allowed to birth here if Baby is high risk and ur doctor in Nigeria confirms it and u have an acceptance from a doctor here. You Nigerians just disgust me, coming here to quote what laws u don’t make. You are a burden to our govt. you just want to show off that ur baby has a passport:
Me: trying to defend myself
CBP: shut Up.
At this time, they had gone through all my phone emails and WhatsApp messages. Nothing to mail me with.
She comes back to ask for my contacts number and proceeds to call her. Requesting that my host sends me back because 6400 is not a reasonable fee to pay and I cannot afford it. My host insists that was the self pay package and she would use her insurance to cover if there are emergencies.
Me: very worried, already seeing them process travel docs for other pregnant women who have been turned back,some since yesterday. I had already started crying.
CBP : so madam, u will be going back home let me get approval from my superior.
10 mins later, please go get ur bags we need to check.
Me: with my big belle I run go carry luggage( I had just a cabin size box and a well wrapped ghana must go
CBP: all these clothes are too much ( biko which clothes)
Senior CBP patapata: madam, when was ur visa issued
Me: 2016
SCBP: it wasn’t given to birth
Me: yes, it was for a conference which I attended and I was not pregnant and then.
SCBP: ok ma, I will allow u into the USA but please show receipts on ur way out( she had a passport to junior CBP
Junior CBP: collects my passport and arrogantly stamps me in for 10weeks. Saying if I present a receipt less than 20k dollars on my way out, no visa will be resissued
Me: thank u ma.
CBP: Now very Angry, don’t thank me, looking at u disgusts me, just leave my sight before I puke.
Me: quickly carries my bag.
Moral :
1. It is now illegal to birth in USA if the birth can be handled in Nigeria( they showed me proof of that o)
2. Abort mission if ure using H Stroger.
3. Make sure u tell everyone u chat with that ure coming back
4. Hold cash of all the money u need.
5. Stay far from Ohare.

This is where I drop my pen.

Thanks.

He should say yes and if he has pictures of the tourist attractions he visited in those countries, he should go with them too to back up his story. When i went for my interview, i went with a new passport , the lady asked me if i had travelled before and i said YES. I was about to hand him my older passport but she declined . So he should say yes but go with photos as proofs. Hope this answered your question.


[Qquote author=swanky6968 post=68129154]Please house someone who have had travel experience to 3 different countries. But lost his passport, when asked should he day yes he has travelled before even when there is no passport to prove it. Or he should say no.

Me: I own a fashion business.
Vo: are you married
Me: yes

Me: he owns his company, (explains in details what his company does)

Within 1mins he already knows am not eligible. Was as if he knew he wasn't giving me even before he met me. What could have gone wrong. Gurus please advice, I intend to reapply

Lajoie33:


They may. If they do, show that you have the resources to get a nanny, show that you know how much it costs in the area you're going to. Infact add it to your budget plan.
As an aside, I hope you have made arrangements for his care when you will be in the hospital

My husband will be joining me, before I put to bed

Good morning Nairalanders. My interview is for 2moro, I hope to come back with testimony... please am going for the interview with my little boy. My question is do I have to include a Nanny service in my budget sheet?? Considering the fact that I will be travelling with my little boy and it's my first time in the USA with no relative. Will the consular ask me questions like how I intend to cope without a help

Please which of the embassy did this happen. Lagos or Abuja.

FFavouredOne:
@micafe I saw you guys, I must have been the first pregnant woman they attended to today. I was denied also. I was hoping they would give you guys and the other lady.

I've been studying the page silently and was going to give feedback either I got it or not.

my transcript is below;

Vo: Good morning
Me: good morning
Vo: why are you going to the us?
Me: To have my baby in the US
Vo: Why would you want to have your baby in the US?
Me: I would like access to a better medical care and opportunity for dual citizenship for my child.
Vo: Tell me about your job
Me; I work with a top xxxxxxx, as xxxxx, (I detailed every bit of recent projects at work etc)
Vo: Your husband, what does he do (He mentions hubby's first name)
Me: He's a Bleep and partner in one of the top law firms xxxxx, I have his work documents here, I could show you.
Vo: There's no need for that. Has be been to the United states before?
Me: Yes he has, (Was going to tell him about the conference he attended but VO cut's in)
Vo: How long have you been married?
Me: A year and 4 months (He replies with the month and I nod)
Vo: Have you ever travelled outside Nigeria?
Me: Yes I was in Dubai last year (states month) for my honeymoon
Vo: How much have you budgeted for this trip?
Me: About 15,000 dollars, I could show you my correspondence and my budget sheet.
Vo: Don't worry. How long have you been saving for this trip?
Me: About a year and kicked up when I found out I was pregnant ( I was in the middle of stating that hubby would sponsor with his business account blah blah, then he says to hold on, types and says the sorry thing).

Didn't review the document.
Should I have been saving for a longer period as wedding is just a little over a year sef.
I'm not certain of reapplying except I can confirm a date in the first few weeks of May.

BTW I applied for B1/B2 but I don't think that's the case, because he could have given any one he thinks my reasons deserve.

Please if my mum applies that she wants to go with me to assist me during child birth. What is her chances of getting it. (She has no travel history). What and what does she need to go with for the interview. Please experienced gurus help

Please I have a question I was adviced by some one to pay the doctor upfront of about $500 and get the receipt thag it gives me a better edge at the interview. Is that true.

chibertha:
Also include the long stay hotels. It is usually a furnished self contain apartments with Kitchenet the weekly rate is usually discounted and it will be cleaned once a week with replacement of toiletries, you also have a phone to make local calls for free.

please how much is the weekly or monthly rate

justwise:
[/b]

I think that is questionable, 15M in 3months will surely raise some eyebrows. If you are going to use his company's account make sure that the total cost of the trip will not affect the running of the company.

He had a previous savings account that he was using. But he closed it down and opened a new one because he needed an account officer. And the other account didn't have one

Also my interview is in 2wks I want to know if there is any specific amount that would look suspicious let say DH has about 15million in his savings account (no lump sum) it has been accumulated since January coming in and out. Plus is there any problem with the account since it was opened in January. Or should I use his companies account

Do I have any mum given birth in HOUSTON around September - November... I will be travelling in September and am looking to rent an apartment. Please those anyone have information on how to get a good apartment in houston...

Good evening everyone. Please I have plans of going to give birth in Florida. Please anybody have idea of cost of accommodation for one bedroom apartment, and contact of someone who can help out. Plus I want to know if it's advisable to give birth in Florida. Finally and Florida mom in this forum, I don't have any family members or friends, so I don't mind meeting some friends here. Thanks
