Hi mama's... pls assist me in answering dis question.the *fit to fly letter *is it gotten from ones'family hospital back here in Nigeria or from port health? D port health is it in airport too that one can find den?
From ur Hospital where u r doing ANC.
Porthealth is at d airport or close to the airport depends on d state.

Anoda of my queshion? I intend staying for 16weeks dats 3months.. is it advisable to say 16weeks or 12weeks? (My visa is vacation based nt giving birth base)
Ur choice... But it's at d discretion of the cbp official to determine how long he's going to stamp u in.

On my visa application, I stated am goin on vacation to WISCONSIN with hubby.. we evn booked for a hotel in wisconsin.. bt as it stands now, am switching to California to stay in a friend s place... should I be worried
? Did u get ur visa before u got pregnant? If no then u need to pray for favor really. If yes then u r on track.
But
where u asked if u were pregnant or if u were going to use d visa for delivery? If yes then d change of intent won't help you. The chances of them deporting u is high. Cos that's misrepresentation.

Sometimes u wld need to prove you weren't pregnant before u got d visa... so b ready. That's if u got it and got pregnant immediately.

The last BIkONU na sample of letter intent, I Done find am for this thread I no see am!! HELP A SISTER
it's on part 1 part 2 and part 3.

@ Ezigbozi, That was like a 2 day journey! Pele.

Is Emirates now routing through Abuja and Frankfurt? That would be an unbearable journey if i had to do that. But i have family in Abuja sha. Would always be comfortable there.

Thanks, I'm good now. smiley I think they have cancelled their Lagos flights at the moment and are moving ppl that already booked to depart from ABJ (I do not know for what reason though), I think the Frankfort leg was as a result of scarcity of fuel that day,don't think its a regular now.

D price i paid at d airport was cheaper than what id almst paid over the fone. However i truly cant answer your question, bcz iv heard ppl say its usually more expensive in d day of flight.
Bassinet isnt automatic especially if you check in late and d flight is full with newborns. I usually check in online and pixk my seat or request expressly at counter check in.
AF is strict on luggage. Baby check in is 10kg anyth abov dat is charged as an excess. But baby carry-on is 12kg




Thank you for the response. Called their office to enquire about price today but the lady couldn't give me any info cos she said smthing about them being on strike so I should call back in a few days. I also want to know if you bought one way ticket for your baby or a return. Thanks.

Post ur transcript for 2nd and 3rd visa interview

Cant remember exact details

2nd interview: Same officer as 1st. Recognised us and confirmed we were not given because of wrong appointment date. And asked us to pick up the visas later in the week.Applied to Atlanta but on trip went to Houston as family friend in Atlanta was in 9ja at the time and had friends in Houston.

3rd interview: Lady was nasty, complained of my kids disturbing and kept on asking all questions. If i told the officers at POE that I was going to have my baby, what do I do, how much I earn, receipts, etc. Answered all. Then she asked if I was preggy at 2nd interview, said yes but didn't know at the time. Then she asked if I was preggy during the 1st said yes and that was the end of the interview.

honestly only u can answer this. Start with the function of a visa nd d function of a passport. Compare to price... Considering passport isn't done in every state and u must be present. At the end we all must do the passport even though d visa can serve u for a while

As a follow up to this question, can I mail in the US passport for a visa or would I and the baby have to be present?

They always ask questions like
Why are you traveling to the US?
And if u were pregnant and didn't indicate or disclose that's where dey av an issue with.
Nd u did the same thing for two visas.

At the poe did u tell them why u were in the USA when you were asked?

Fill the form but this time b honest.
And be ready to defend urself cos the questions will come up.
Pray to meet a nice vo
Be completely honest with filling the form nd with ur answers. Honestly I wish you good luck.

Other people will answer u here I hope.
