Hi house, please how soon can my DH book appt for notarized consent.
Edd is mid March .
Although, he went for visa interview last week but was denied, wants to reapply but available interview date is April 11 and that’s after my Edd.

ANIT1:
No dear I doubt they intend to scam you by you sending a request maybe you got into the wrong hands, because a large number of us here have used that route with no problems atall provided you send it to the correct email address.

I honestly think the email request is a means of scamming people, approvals won't come till you're forced to bribe to get it out. Thank God for good souls out there

Msadesina:

I sent to oa@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng. I got the response that my husband and i have no link


Wow too bad..thank God your sorted anyways anything naija can’t be underestimated. Who ever received the mail you sent just wanted to use that as a means to ask for bribe cos my case too is similar had different names with hubby too.

ozymes:
Please, Please, Abeg, Biko, Joor. If you are still here in Naija without the e-mail correspondence, I strongly advice that you get it sorted out before you board your flight, in your own interest.

Hi People,

Finally Got into Chicago few days back... Yup used thier POE

1st thing... Didn't have a new doctors report since when I flew into U.K. Early February, so just wore a Big coat and prayed that nobody at the BA desk will ask me for Fit to Fly and fortunately they didn't.

Flew Heathrow to Chicago.. Got in by evening...very short line:

CBP: Hi. Passport pls. What are you hear for?
Me: Maternity Leave. I'm having my baby.
CBP: Oh. Do you have other kids? (As if e no dey see am for system )
Me: Yes.
CBP: How Much did you come with today?
Me: $5,500 and I have my cards
CBP: Which hospital are you considering using?
Me: Currently, John H.S.
CBP: Well it's not a crime to give birth in the US. But we will need to confirm the cash. Come with me... na so she carry me go secondary inspection... Oh boy it was like a parry ova dia
The place was full with all shapes, Colours, sexes, nations, religions and sizes...

One black boy sitting next to me was shaking like who was waiting for his flight home ... I sha sat down, commited every into God's hands and faces CNN. After about 40 mins they called me.

CBP: Do you know the rules about giving birth in the US?
Me: (Ha I tot we came to confirm cash ) I said yes.. Pay all your bills, no tax payers money. The guy said and? Me: That's all I know.
CBP: You don't know all the rules, let me go and get them... na so e waka go print am show.
CBP: Do you have insurance covering giving birth in America? Me: No I do not.
CBP: You are supposed to have! What if something happens to you or the baby that requires $100k to fix?? Are you telling me you will pay? Me: My understanding is that no matter how much your bill is be ready to pay. Worst case set up a payment plan but pay cash. CBP: Shakes head. Lol

CBP: Do you know what medicare is? Me: I have an idea. His Neighbour CBP: Said nope, you know, because you researched it and plan to use it. Me: I just started smiling really wide and said HOw? Neighbour CBP: Waka commot (His work there was done)

CBP: Looks at list- Do you have a referral for medical treatment here from a doctor in Nigeria? Me: No. CBP: Your supposed to have. Me: I don't have and then I keep quiet.

CBP: I see you've had 2 other kids in the US, so you just normally come to have your babies and go? Why the US?

Me: As I stated before (coz they had asked me this question when I came earlier in OCT) I have a condition called preeclampsia with all my kids, after loosing my 2 1st pregnancies my husband and I decided to go for better medical care... (wanted to add that US also gives dual citizenship but the guy had moved on)

CBP: So how much do you have with you today
ME: $5,500
CBP: That won't be enough for childbirth in the Us. Have you paid any medical bills prior to now? Me: No, however I was told when I visited the hospital that my bill would start from 5k up as a base figure. I and my husband work so sending me additional funds won't be an issue.
CBP: Which hospital told you 5k is the base fee:
ME: J.H.S
CBP: That's a terrible hospital! Why would you come all the way to use me J.H.S?
Me: Really? It's terrible? That's not what I heard? Anyway when I came in October it was the one that was most easily accessible.
CBP: Said no it wasn't, you must have researched it. ME: I kept quiet coz what he said was true about the research.
CBP: You are supposed to have all the cash for your medical treatment now... you are not ready. How do we know you can afford it.
ME: I've paid in full for accommodation, as I said this is just starter park funds, I've had 2 kids here and have always paid my bills.
CBP: Show me proof that you pay your bills. Me- Brings out reciept for 1st 2 payments...

Kai my hand is paining me.. Let me rest small and come back for part 2. Someone send me Ayamase and very white rice in the mean time.. ayam hungry. Kilzes.
P.S- Forgive any typos.

covbrand:


his dear how much does John H stroger charge now for normal delivery. had mine may last year it was 3200. don't know how much and I intend to go the year again.

Msadesina:

I sent to oa@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng. I got the response that my husband and i have no link despite attaching my marriage certificate and court affidavit confirming the marriage. I even went the extra mile of attaching baby's passport. The more you see the less you know. You were lucky you got yours without issues, I know others who had to pay cos travel date is close. Well thank God I'm sorted now

Msadesina:
What I did was choose exactly a week after EDD as appointment date and thankfully baby arrived few days to EDD so we were safe. By the time i got the notarised form baby was 2weeks old. You might want to try that just to be safe

Hello good people of Nairaland.
Its been very rewarding following this thrend.

Pls, I got into Houston on saturday the 17th of this month and there was enough drilling at the POE as almost all the officers wanted to interrogate me followed by one who was practically threatening me with the fact that I borrowed the $10k dollars I had with me,, saying it is common with you Nigerians.

Please, now that I am here I have a question which I would sincerely appreciate if someone who had gone through same would assist with, my visa wasnt stamped in for any months or time. Please what do I do?

Please someone pls help as I am worried over this.

Thanks

Good day Gurus in the house ,
Pls you guys should help me, I’m not directly affected by it’s my best friend and I planned to stay with her at her sisters place in Georgia. Her pregnancy is 1 week ahead of mine im 23weeks, I applied for medical visa last month and declared I’m pregnant and got 2 years multiple entry(I have shared my transcript), she applied and was at Abuja this morning for her interview and was denied. She applied as visitors visa (going for 2 weeks vacation) and used an agent , I advised her that I’m using DIY with Niaraland experienced minds as I couldnt afford an agent & wasn’t ready for all the drama that came with the pregnancy lies but she seemed to have gotten a hang of how to use visitors visa to gt it and didn’t want to discourage her but I gave my opinion anyways , she got denied this morning and first she’s my best friend- I can’t leave her hanging now moreso we planned free accommodation with her sister who’s a citizen (zero accommodation cost for me) so guys pls I need your counsel on how she should proceed to reApply, what ar her chances? Pls drop your 2 cents or steps you advise her to take to get it this time. Below is her transcript with her VO, where did you sense she missed it or where the VO made up her mind?


Me:
Good morning ma,how are you doing today?
Vo:I am fine
What are you going to do in the US?
Me:I am going on vacation for 2 weeks.
Vo:Do you have any contact in the US?
Me:Yes,my sister.
Are you planning to visit her on your vacation? Yes I would.
