chloe7: They asked me this question when I travelled last month, knew they were going to stress me so I was ready. When the officer asked for the letter and I said I don't have it, he said I must and my question was "what if their is no dad" in my strongest voice (LOL) na so the man calm down and asked me to go. 2 Likes |

chloe7: Well said Chloe7! Akorkor to add to what Chloe has said... Yes, you can change pounds but beware... let me share my experience. I had pounds with me when I came to the US (cash) plus some in my UK account. I asked for the exchange rate at the airport here and was told 1.1... I vex carry my pounds go oh. I checked my UK account today on an atm in the US and the conversion is 1.2... so it doesn't really make sense o. Thankfully I don't really need the cash so I'm keeping my pounds biko. If you need it then by all means change it in the US... I'd still rather you changed it to dollars than naira because you may be stuck with naira that you can't use. Hope this helps. 1 Like |

chloe7: I know Chloe7 but what if there is no dad for real, I had the birth cert but the mean man wanted a letter of consent by force Na so me too change face. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Nobody: 4:38pm On Nov 05, 2016 |
ayanuke:After B.C he still wants consent letter, anyway he knows we Nigerians are gangster?! Lol due to the recent issues of child trafficking i'm sure that's why they sat up seriously, but our immigration is very lax very very lax, I remember in December when this David o and baby mama ish came up I mean they were taking the baby to Dubai without the mother and that wasn't the first time and we have immigration hian! If the babe didn't call everyone's attention the baby for go like that o fiam |

firsttymum:I already have enough dollar to used personally but hubby just have pounds and he doesn't have BVN card but I do have bvn. And I learnt bvn card is one of the pre requisite to collect from travelex. That's why want to try to collect for him since am going first. Hope that's clear. |

You can as well try their city hospitals, I learned it's cheaper so make Google your friend or bounce to Texas or Atlanta. I have contacted two hospitals in new York and their fee is between $10000 - $12000 without doctor's fee. But will b glad if anyone can provide me with contacts of other hospitals in new york that are cheaper. [/quote] |

Hello House, it’s time to share my POE experience. To God be all the glory. I flew Airfrance on Thursday night, there was no issue with fit-to-fly letter as it seems they were not even interested anyway. I had it with me already so I just told the lady that attended to me at check-in desk and she collected a copy. The flight was alright timing and all but I’ll say the food served and entertainment was just there. The walk from where we landed in Paris to the next take off point was a bit long but it was ok for me at this point. I also noticed there were people in uniform at different points checking passport, visa and ticket as we walked. Fast forward to new York (JFK) POE, the place wasn’t busy at the time we landed……I was directed to use the self-service machine after which I was sent to meet a CBP officer. CBP officer (cool young guy): hello Me: hi CBP officer (cool young guy): how long will you be staying? Me: about 10weeks (he looked surprised) so I quickly added that yea cos I’ll be on vacation and have my baby aswell. CBP officer (cool young guy): oh you having your baby too? Me: yea (the guy was cool with that and already stamping me in) A young female colleague standing beside him heard him and cuts in CBP officer (lady): are you sure you don’t wanna check with them inside? CBP officer (cool young guy): hmmm not necessary, I don’t think they like the idea (I think he meant he dint need to go ask something he already knows how to handle) CBP officer (lady): I think you should (then the guy went inside). She kept on questioning me. Are you married? (Me: yes I am, showed her my ring) Where are you having your baby? Did you come to US prior to this to check for doctor and all? (Me: no I didn’t but I contacted the doctor) Where are you staying? Can you afford it? Where does your husband work? (Me: yes we can) How much does it cost? How do you intend to pay? (Me: I have some cash which I showed and my cards) Is your husband coming to join you and bringing more cash? (Me: yea later but I’m with our bank cards to spend from account. I have the statements to show) CBP officer (cool young guy): He came back in like 2mins…..madam, have your passport and enjoy your stay. He sent me towards agric cos I declared that I had food. I picked up my baggage and realized that cart is USD 6.00 (oops), luckily one man offered to pay for me (awesome). At agric, my boxes were scanned but not opened to search then I left (pushing the cart) to link the next terminal via air train to catch my delta flight to chicago. Note: I had to insert the card I used to book the delta ticket during self-check-in maybe cos I booked on their site directly but it was mentioned at the point of booking. I had a long wait time as I booked a late flight incase of delay. Walk to the boarding gate to Chicago was sooo long, I kept pausing along the way but maybe I should have joined the shuttle or something. Finally, I got to Chicago then realized one of my boxes with food was forced open (padlock broken) by custom peeps for inspection and they dropped a card inside to notify me ( I guess this happened between when I checked in for new york - chicago flight). Thank God for a nice POE experience and thank you for experiences shared here to prepare us for this journey. 26 Likes |
