This got me rolling wit laughter... American baby in Walter Carrington?

Based on international Law, the baby is an American citizen because inside the Embassy is seen as part of the home country of the embassy. I don't think this jurisprudence has ever been tested for the validity.

Once this is tested in Law and it is confirmed that the baby is a bona-fide citizen haven been born inside an embassy, I trust my Nigeria people to start timing their visa interview to fall on their EDD. Afterall it is cheaper and less stressful to born inside embassy than all these long trips to America, POE wahala etc. Lol

Hello house,
I am glad to announce to you lovely people that I gained a lot from this forum. A friend referred me this forum to me Tho and I took my time to go through all the pages here.
Anyways in the spirit of giving back lol...
I had my interview on the 2nd of August in lagos, 6:30 am, I was 33weeks. I was the first person on the queue and I was the first person to be interviewed.
My interview went like this....
Me: Good morning (with a smile).
VO: Good morning, passport please. (passed my passport)
VO: Why are you going to the U.S.? Me: Childbirth.
VO: oh! Where?
Me: Houston,Texas.
VO: Pass me all your documents.
(Then I passed my doctor's correspondence, receipt from Dr Dama stating the amount I have paid, hospitals documents and receipts, accommodation receipt from Sojurbanliving, budget sheet, statement of account, maternity leave letter, husband's sponsorship letter, and marriage certificate).
She went through everything.
VO: How did you find out about this doctor? Me: A colleague of mine referred him to me that he's really good and he also delivered his wife's and everything seemed perfect.
So I went online, I got his number, called him. I was sent an email informed about the fees and what I needed to do and know. Vo: ok, how much will this trip cost you Me: About 16,000 dollars equivalent to 'so so so' in naira(I said the amount then because dollar was 360 then). VO: What do you do?
Me: I work for 'Bla Bla bla investments' as the 'bla bla bla' , I earn 'bla bla bla' but my husband is the main sponsor of the trip.
Vo: oh, I see. What does your husband do? Me: He's the ceo of 'bla bla bla' with the capacity of 'bla bla bla' staffs, it's located at 'bla bla bla' VO: (typing and going through the documents) Okay, make sure you pay up your balance. me: Yes ma'am
Vo: Pick up your visa in 3 days time (then she gave me the white paper and my documents.
I was happy ehn like really I got the white paper. Yaay! I flew airfrance/klm 3weeks and 2days after @36weeks ; Lagos-Amsterdam-Houston, my poe was houston. I had enough background knowledge on how it's gonna be from what I read here. When we got to IAH, I entered the restroom to clean my face and look a bit fresh U kno as a fine geh.
Cbp: (tries calling my name) or didn't I pronounce it right? Me : I'll give you 4/10 on the pronunciation. (We both chuckled) Cbp: Okay, so why are you in houston? Me: Childbirth. Cbp: Where exactly are you going to? Me: Sugar land Cbp: Where will you be staying? And how long will you be staying for? Me: I already sorted my accommodation with s
Spring of Joy Urban Living and I have made payment. I have a letter stating that and the address of where I will be staying. I will be staying for two months.
Cbp: Oh let's see, have you contacted any doctor? Me: oh yes! Dr Dama Ziwortin and I have also sorted the bills. Cbp: Okay, do you have receipts? Me: Yes. [left][/left]
(passed him all the receipts including the hospital's, with the budget sheet stating how much I have paid and the balance to be paid) Cbp: So, how do you intend to pay the rest? Me: Well, I am prepared for that. I have 5k cash with me and I have a debit card worth 12k dollars incase of emergency. Cbp: Where is your husband? Is he coming later? Me: He's in Nigeria. Well, I am not sure for now if he will be coming or not. That will depend on his work schedules and all. Cbp: Is this your first ? Me: Yes (blushing).
Cbp: How will you cope alone? Me: Trust me, I will *winks*. Cbp: (smiles) Make sure you don't take Medicaid , Me: Naaah, I won't.
Cbp: I am telling you this just incase you insist you were not told about it. So, I am telling you now. Besides, it will affect your next visit. Do make sure you keep all your receipts.
(then he stamped me in)
Cbp: Enjoy your stay maam .
Me: Thanks (with a broad smile) No secondary inspection, he didn't even count my money, no agric, I brought in all my food stuff. *big smile* And yes, 'no fit to fly' was asked all through the trip. Thanks to you guys (most especially the professors in the house) for all the information and for your sharing spirit, YOU GuYS ROCk!!! , God bless you all abundantly...*mwah* sorry for the long story *biko*

Chai Chai Chai I was beginning to think finally there's an easy way out, Lmao na wa o, I go enter aeroplane 2018

Hi Zocken,
I'm also headed to Chicago next week by God's grace and I'm using New York POE. I heard Atlanta too is okay. From New York one way ticket costs as little as $65 if you buy early. You're lucky you even heard early enough, we had already bought tickets to O'hare Chicago, then thanks to Nairaland had to cancel and buy new tickets with another airline. God help us all !!!

quote author=Zocken post=48724467]My good people of nairaland, please don't brand me lazy. I don read tire so tey I don confuse self. DW will be birthing in Chicago by 1St week of November. She intends to travel by mid October. The choice of Chicago is because we have a relative there and we have also found an affordable hospital. However, after reading the scary POE issues there, she will be entering through another state. That's where the dilemma is. I don't even know which POE she should use self. Any advice on that? Pls help a brother. God bless[/quote]

Thanks for your response @ijeomaobi1

Thanks sis, I appreciate time and effort you spent replying, still searching, I no get the liver. My conscience go prick me die. Travelling with hubby and daughter.

I've sent u a PM. I'd email u the guys details(dunno why the post was removed as I didn't put any details), I didn't want wahala which is why I didn't respond earlier, I hope he'd be able to help as he has done for my family in the past. Sorry dear

Thanks lobus & ladyG..I have searched but cant find it on the thread. Please if anyone has the contact, please send to me. I am just here confused, crying and wondering why things are turning out this way.

[quote author=amynuch post=48748087][/quote]

Proceed with the normal booking process on the dashboard and follow the prompts. If you answer yes to all the relevant questions, it takes you to the dropbox confirmation page

@Zpeariz good luck with this process.
If you make it through, please make sure to point out that your travel stamp to dubai was not fake.

most people stayed with relatives... And paid when dey got there

Good mamas in the building, my wife was at the embassy yesterday
Vo: gd am ma
Wifeey: gd am sir
Vo: why are you goin to the us
Wifeey: for childbirth
Vo: what does your hubby do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: what do you do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: have you travelled before
Wifeey: no sir
Vo: has your hubby travelled before
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: to where
Wifeey: so so and so
Vo: does he have usa visa
Wifeey: no
Vo: can I have your own bank statement
Wifeey: here is it sir
Vo: is this your account
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: I'm sorry you are not qualified, handed blue paper

Let me explain her account details here pls, she bears my name on passport as mrs abc but she has not changed her acc name cos she still bears miss xyz and this xyz name she have with her old passport of this name. Also, her own account has slim amount of money while mine has the larger sum (times 6 of her account bal.) cos I'm the on sponsoring the trip but the VO does not request for mine.
@ all gurus here what do you think she should do at this point cos I'm think she should reapply or we both apply together cos we don't have time again cos she will be due by late oct. We got expedited app for this, can we still get one again and should I apply with her or let her go alone?

Whatever you guys suggest is final

Thanks for your contribution so far.
