to be fair, it seems like overdo, but like you said, to block all loopholes.

My intention is to treat POE like another visa interview and carry all the usual docs...maybe not weding album sha [/quote

Yes oooo it's bettr 2 b over prepared

Hi all.....
Houston no easy o....i came in thru that poe on monday n had a very stressful n annoying experience.....
All pregnant women in my plane was sent for secondary inspection...I was delayed for 3 hrs
My experience
The only reason they stressed me was cos I was pregnant n didn't declare at my interview but I already used the visa for vacation purpose n now birthing.........anyway what saved me was cos I sent change of plans to Lagos embassy n I printed it with copies of my email correspondence with the doc n the hospital.......
My advice
Pls make ur phone clear of anything that can implicate u.....cos they check ur phones.....even if it's passworded they will ask for the pin n make sure u re bold n smart....cos they twist question......they ask them in different ways
They are so mean......I was with my mum n little daughter but they didn't even care.......
My daughter was hungry n fussy but they didn't even care......
Above all na prayer my people.....cos they insisted on sending me back....n they stamped my mum n daughter in for 6 months but not me until I convinced them n insisted but I mailed the embassy.....we layer became friends n he was even the one advising me on how to go about documents n all....after delivery....n he said I should make sure I bring all my receipts on my next trip

This Houston wahala sef na wa. One of the reasons why I am giving birth in LA o. BRitish airways jeje. LA as POE

They looked through your phone??
Is that even legal? That does NOT sound right at all o. What are they looking for and what gives them the right to do that? Goodness gracious.

I giggle no be small...

So this Chicago business...a friend of mine was delayed fr about 2 hours at Chicago, but she was eventually let in mainly because of the letter from the embassy.

I suspect that what is happening is that the POE guys are getting used to seeing that letter, so the person whey no get am, it will now be as if the person is hiding stuff. Meanwhile the letter is said to be optional, and there is no obligation to tell them blah blah...better safe than sorry.

Even the people that got the visa specifically for childbirth, it wont hurt to still get the letter.



Hello! Good to see you on here again, I thought about you a couple of days ago *hugs*

Thanks dear, I decided to lay low a bit and clear my head...the dark clouds are lifting, we thank God

@ genomi
Yes they did, n not just me......some others too....just pray u don't have an encounter with them n if u do....God should see u thru

GenoMI:

Phema it is wise that you mentioned emailing the embassy about change in location for childbirth. This burden of proof is getting heavier o.

Mehn I open up this page early momo to see more horror stories, it is well.

We had a story here of a woman whose bag was searched thoroughly , as in in and out, ever scrap of paper was scrutinized, i cant remeber who it was but it was Nairaland pre-tsunami.

Per the phone search, I don't know the legal right for that, definitely feels like invasion of privacy, but when you want to enter another man country, na wetin your eye go see. At best you can fight the case later (if indeed it is a crime) but still, at that very point in time, you are at their mercy.

Sigh.

no be person wey dey border dey fight case oh. make we enter first spread mat ehee!! one can now fight for rights if there is any and that is if joy never overshadow the vex.

I tire o.

But wait o. Are these stories of deportations at Houston for flights landing from Naija straight?

Because if you are on a connecting flight from elsewhere u may be the only preggo on d flight, with less scrutiny

Some more information is needed o! E joo o!

I think is best to just land somewhere else and do local flight to texas cos these horror stories are something else

Web005

Pls can u give me more details on WHMC and Dr La, u can inbox me details to babycanddy@gmail.com

Hi everyone, am new to this forum and I have been reading through all this while. This is a good forum with details for any pregg women planning to delivery in US.

Please I need details a cheaper hospital with location and accommodation in US.

Hi guys,am new to this forum.pls can anyone tell me abt doctores para ti

To the new joiners, you're welcome.
Please read through the thread and you'll get abundant information on hospitals, cost, accommodation, visa, point of entry experiences...... and the list goes on. make sure to take notes so you can review when you are ready to make a decision. You'd be well equipped to take on any challenge once u're done reading. Any questions you may then have, would be treated.

Hello ginger spice,I ve read thru the thread and it was quite helpful,but I still ve some questions

Neoski:

Hi Neoski, please feel free to ask your questions then and the guirus in the house would be happy to help

P.s: be specific and be sure it hasn't being answered already in earlier posts

I think another way to circumvent all these horrible POE experience would be to board a connecting international flight and have your POE at the connecting point. I believe they may be unable to delay you beyond a reasonable time due to your connecting flights on the airline
Airlines usually come looking for their passengers to avoid delay and refunds as the delay is not your fault

Just thinking this may help except someone had an experience faulting the above assumptions

My question is that I would like to travel to give birth to my first child using doctores para ti,me and my hubby will be going for the visa interview but my hubby might not be able to travel with me because of work after we are given visas.will I have issues at Poe if I travel alone?

@Neoski,

I would advise you apply alone to prove strong ties with home country with your hubby staying back coz if you apply together and based on the information you are limited to provide on the DS-160 form(from which majority of visa decisions are made), the VO may be tempted to think that you, ur hubby traveling for 1st child that you guys wouldn't be coming back. He can apply after you have been issued a visa to state he wants to support you during and after delivery

Note that are also cases that the visas are granted without issues thus this advice is not absolute. am also talking from experience coz my family was denied. I do not belive you would have POE issues if he is granted and could not make it as travel plans changes but you may want to hold some form of documented evidences to validate these changes to minimize the risk of the POE immigrant harassment

@princeadeade,thank you for your response it was very helpful.but I also want to know if my hubby's signature will be required on any document like d birth certificate e .t.c.pls if you know anyone planning a similar trip pls let me know so maybe we can plan together.thank you

Connecting flights don't matter to POE officials o!

The best best is to avoid these notorious POE's or just pray well and leave it to God.

Everything is just God...I came in with air France from abuja Paris And I was the only pregnant mama ...I met 4 pregnat mamas that landed since morning about to be sent back..the POE also read nairaland..I told them I knew the dr tru nairaland...they said where we talk about how to hide our pregnancy from them...they checked my phone too to see my account if I took a lone because me and hubby's money was much put together..

Hello everyone. Please I need a quick change from doctores to Houston pls. My interview is Wednesday. Pls can someone just give me details of WHMC and a doctor I can use. I need to use it for d interview. Tanx.

@shelly23,

I hear you but I would really be interested if any one with a connecting flight can share their experiences as the ones I have seen so far on this forum are experiences of final stop POE.
You know these immigration officers are clearly misbehaving as their attitudes and behaviors are clear violation of human rights and should this get to the appropriate authorities, it would be looked into but the sang is no one would report and everyone just wants to get in,get out and not be tagged for reporting such incidences which may cause future "consequences" so if you do actually have a connecting fligth, you have an airline carrier to check their excesses to a point. that's all am saying

@Neoski,

You husband would needs to sign a notarized form and send to you in the US for you to process your baby's passport if he not physically present.
I would advice you read the thread extensively as this information is well captured within

After reading all d denial wit the doctores letter, I need to make a quick change pls.
