Oh boy.... This is just terrible.... Another thing again is that these people are seeing well prepared preggy women.. With documents for almost everything. For her to show up without "anything" musta vexed them. I cant imagine how the kids feel Wickedness o... At least no ban.. She can reapply and explain her self better. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I agree, but I guess they were also pretty confident since they were frequent US visitors. Still unfortunatE sha, last last, the CBP could'vE stamped them in for a few wks for the holiday to rule out staying for childbirth. At least 18k is more than enough for a holiday. olokings: 3 Likes |

Hi Houston mamas, can anyone give me Dr A.'s contact and cost breakdown ? I was planning on using dr F. but all the bad reviews are giving me cold feet about him. BTW, i emailed him and he said i could not show up any later than 35 weeks. I can't afford a flight any sooner than in my 35th week. Could i still get accepted by dr A. if i'm like 36 weeks + 1 day ? Last point, i will be traveling with my mother and we both are on visa waiver program. i'm planning on taking: - our esta confirmations - Dr emails (including cost breakdown) - my budget sheet (around 8.5 K$ for c-section) - 6 K$ in cash - my last bank statement (with more or less 5 K$ net balance) - my saving plan statement (15 K$) - my last 3 salary slips we will be staying with relatives. Do i need anything else for POE ? |

shanaka29:Dr F isn't bad if u not high risk... And u don't mind his tight schedule. They ain't bad reviews per say. For Dr A use the search option to get the cost breakdown. most of us never born so we can't for sure give u a cost breakdown. But someone has shared it b4. There's a test they usually do at 35 weeks that's why they are skeptical about taking after 35 weeks. I can't say for sure if she accepts after 35 weeks. I hope the airline u r takin is 36 weeks friendly. |

shelly23:U got it right, their cash is ok,after all some people pass through POE with even 2k for birthing,some people were not even asked how much they have & still scaled through the POE.may be they didnt talk to the CBP in a right way ,having the confidence that they are frequent travellers. But My own is that they are big in numbers & without any positive documents concerning the pregnancy,Thereby raising suspicion of not going back to Nig after everything.Even the letter of intent change or budget sheet should have saved them in this situation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think the reason Dr. F is doing all this is bc alot of ppl are using him. We are using Methodist in Sugarland and Dr. Amajoh she accepted all our test from Naija except the smear pap with our hospital did not included on their report and scan she repeated. we paid about 2400 including test and 160 for ultrasound. It is a choice thing but i prefer Methodist than Oakbend. ozycy: 1 Like |

[quote author=neks31 post=38827966][/quote] You better believe... Usually they would offer people the option to Voluntarily withdraw their application for admission in lieu of being ordered removed under section 235B. If the passenger chooses to withdraw they would then stamp behind their passport "WD " So, was visa cancelled with or without prejudice? 1 Like |

shrekandfiona: Chicago poe is a deadly poe. I can never go through it. Some people just like to brag about how much they spent or didn't spend hmmm 18k is more than enough to show at point of entry. I wouldn't like to carry such cash even if we were a family of 20 (thank God for debit cards) and I don't remember reading that they were renting. The officer was just wicked. I feel so sorry for that family. 5 Likes |

nefertitiram: Nefetitiram my sis, i explored that option before coming here to ask. It doesn't look like there's a shipping agent in El Paso. One must first send the items to Houston before it is airfreight to Nigeria. Also, one month is a long time. I need the food today , tomorrow. |

What brand of formula is it? If you'rE in Lagos, check Daytona supermarket in lekki or prime grocers in marina. I'm usually able anything i'm looking for from Either shop. If Daytona doesn't have, you can call the owner's number (pasted on the wall in the shop) and tHey'll source whateveR you want. Nogen: 1 Like 1 Share |

shelly23:My sister, it's Similac Neosure o. Very difficult to even get in most shops in the US, it is not here in Lagos. I have already got 33 tins that will last them for a month till we switch to Similac Advance that is readily available here in Lagos. However, the 33 tins are in El Paso. Last month, I was able to get them delivered on time. I hope to see someone or a way out before the few tins are finished. |

GoodMorning y'all, I heard that the maximum amount you can legally carry from Nig is $5000 due to some new laws (pls correct me if im wrong... i am curious). Is there a way to pay Oakbend in advance from Nigeria,? So that i will have a reciept to show at POE so i dont carry more than the legal limit from Nig. Been trying to call them so i could provide my email for some form of correspondence but it keeps going straight to voicemail. I wish to use either Dr A or F. Read that Dr A doesnt give bill until u land, i wish that was not the case. I am trying to do everything right this time. Also confused as to whether Jfk or Atl is an easy Poe. I will write a letter of intent to the embassy soon since i intend leaving nextmonth. I did drop box n was not preg as at the day of the app. Had my 2 other kids in ATL but considering Houston this time. Accomodation is settled. Pls i am open to advice 1 Like |

Nobody is running him down. i have been following this comment for some days now. What will happen to someone when u pay money for delivery, almost 500k and the doctor did not show up for the delivery. Even the devil will not be happy. The lady is expressing her displeasure, you are talking about running him down. What will she gain if she runs Dr.F down?
