Good day everyone,
My family and i got back to nija on the 31st of July but was kind of busy.
DW travelled from Lagos to Houston via UNITED on the 29th of May and arrived on the 30th
DW was on the queue for about an hour before she got to the CBP officer.

CBP: What are you here for ?
DW: Birth tourism
CBP: (Stood up and looked at her stomach) Oh! you are pregnant.
DW: Yes
CBP: How long are you staying?
DW: A couple of weeks
CBP: Be specific
DW: 8 weeks
CBP:Why did you choose to have him here?
DW: Because of better healthcare
CBP: Are you sure it is not because you want your child to be a citizen?
DW: No, because of better healthcare.

Then DW was sent for secondary inspection

DW sat there for almost 2 hours before she was called into another office by another officer

CBP: Why are you here?
DW:To have my baby
CBP: How much do you have on you?
DW: about $8000
CBP: Can i see the money
DW: (showed him the money)
CBP: Did you take loan from the bank?
DW: No
CBP: Can i see your doctor's correspondence
DW: Yes ( Gave it to him)
CBP: Where do you intend to stay and how long?
DW: (Told him)
CBP: Can i see your Bank Statement
DW: (Didn't have so she showed him my online banking platform)
CBP: Have you been here(US) before?
DW: Yes . Spent about 15 days in Orlando with my family from 20th Dec. 2015 to 5th of Jan 2016
CBP: Show me pictures
DW: (showed him on her cell phone)
CBP: Make sure you pay your bills before leaving okay. Have your passport and have a nice day.

We actually wanted BVAC that was why we changed from Doc F to Doc E because Doc F doesn't do BVAC. (Thank God DW changed because i read your bad reviews on Doc F a fortnight ago). But as God may have it after @ 39 weeks Doc E said DW should do a CS because it wasn't advisable to wait any further.

The hospital was Oakbend Medical Center
Hospital bill :$ 3500( for CS)
Doctor's bill: $2300
First test before delivery:$119.60
Brown & Associates bill:$210(After applying 40% discount)
NICU (4 days):$ 3125.2 ( Initially it was about $5325 but i had to negotiate )
Epidural: $950

passport:$165
Birth certificate:$23
ETC: $370( $50 courier fee inclusive)
Accommodation: $1,200 per room (shared sitting room and kitchen)

I have given back so i ain't owing you guys any more.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the info i got from here . It was very helpful. Can't believe Nigerians can be this generous.


Cheers
cool cool


thank you for giving back. Why did your baby enter NICU?

@Pamperme,

I know someone that is at Intown Suite, El Paso. What exactlt do you want her to check? Is it a mail or something? You may send me a pm as its not advisable for you to state your full names here.

@Brokewaist and all,

Its unfortunate how we have all become so attuned to bribery now. If you don't do it, you cant move forward. Imagine thay I have ordered new notes for the airport people. It worked for me last time. I cannot afford avoidable stress me in my state. Its sad.

Hello all. I just realised people hardly mention immunisation costs in package deals. Just wondering if it's included in the paediatrician fees or do you guys just do without it since they have a different schedule in the US.

I no be agent o... lol. I had looked through this thread for info on San Jose... so I decided to put up my findings for anyone who may be interested...now or in the future

Usually, agents will only drop half info and expect you to contact them... I have put up the hospital name so anyone can Google it and call for themselves.

I don't think this forum is against putting up valuable information...

My candid advise is that you send a mail to the embassy stating that you misrepresented and have decided to come clean. Tell them that you do not mind attending another interview to show that you have enough funds (assuming you do) and have made adequate arrangement with a Physician in the US (hoping you have). Tell them you didn't know that it was not a crime to birth in the US but realized your mistake after and decided to come clean (hoping you recently realized).

I got from port health before the airport at pH. But I think you can get from a hospital. I had already come to the airport, but the refused to let me fly, so I got from port health and got on the next flight.
I was 35 weeks but looked smaller, so the nurse wrote 29weeks.

Personally, I wish nobody responded to that post. As in zero response and absolute silence. Would have simply been more deserving. Very appalling post.

The poster may just even have done it to needle us. Sounds like someone coming back with a new moniker and looking for who to rile.
