Aunty Mo,

Wey you?/

Dint know all these, wouldn't have used the Dr at all..

Supernaturalone:
Late September may still work, if you can push your travel to 36 weeks. I know this is quite dicey though. Secure the earliest date you can now and keep checking if an earlier date pops up. I don't know if the emergency appointment will work for you. Perhaps people on the house with experience with this can share their views.

thanks.

Some of them supporting that Dr at that time were only interested in discount as a reward for them support and vigorous promotion of his services here then, i guess they are happy with themselves now.

Nawa o! but they should have stoped him from practicing what he isn't specialized in. As a Family physician doing the job of an obgyn.

Texas mums, please how long do you typically wait to undergo a scheduled 'normal' CS? I'm having a baby in Houston and the Dr tells me that I have to wait 39 weeks, that this is the law in Texas, except there are complications or specific reasons that warrant bringing out the baby earlier.

Thanks.

Pls can anyone help me with this question.

It matters, I am talking from experience. Going with the original passport/visa will convince the VO more of your husband's consent, agreement and support for your trip. The VO might not b comfortable with the photocopy I repeat.

..and who do you think you are arguing with?

Pele dear.

You can reapply with another doctor. Better still Connect with a doctor through a hospital. They are in a better position to recommend a competent obgyn. I can assist you with one but you have to sign the contract and make commitment before they provide correspondence and you must use the hospital.

Family physicians are licensed to take deliveries too. They can do almost everything not complicated. I don't think that is why he was flagged. Maybe some shady deals.

I have passed through Houston and Chicago POE both for birthing purpose and i didn't have a birthing visa for any of them. I didn't spend more than 5minutes in any of the POEs.

I have said it here before, when you appear before these people, answer questions with as much information as u can. Don't beg for questions. Its a way of controlling the conversation. With good preparation, you should be able to predict their next step and be ahead.

Its doable but not advisable sha.
Even the point of exit of Chicago is like passing through the Lion's den! Over 10 immigration officers with dogs at the entrance to the plane! Haba! Kilode! Not for the faint hearted sha.

Babatwi:


Ha! The almighty Chicago. It has been said here times without number that Chicago and Houston are not for the faint hearted. And some people will come and write here that all poe's are the same. I'm almost certain she would have been able to scale through Jfk if she had tried jfk.

Na the shady deals o. I no wan talk d matter here. But plenty shady deals

39 weeks is the protocol as advised by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology it is not a law in Texas Law, it is required nationwide unless there is a medical reason. Any doctor delivering the baby before 39 weeks without a reason may risk losing his/her license.

Where you the person that picked up your luggage yourself to the next airline or was it transferred to the connecting airline by Air France authority.

Niksie:
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.

thank you

NIFES:

Yes you can . But you will need a stepdown transformer to use with it when you get to Nigeria.

Thanks a lot Sis.

Hi,

I tried responding to ur pm but it bounced back.

As per accommodation, I really can't help with that cos I got thru Airbnb.

You can check Airbnb out but note that accommodation in Chicago is really expensive.

Thanks babatwi, pls am in a fix right now and don't know what to do. Dh was suppose to come over to pick us but he went for his interview yesterday and was denied. Below is the transcript.
Dh- good morning
Vo- where are u heading
Dh- dallas in Texas
Vo- what for?
Dh- my wife just put to bed twins and she needs my assistance so am going to support her and to help bring back my children as she can't travel alone with one infant.
My candid advise, let your husband reapply if you have enough time or your mum. It's not easy oooooo, I came back with twins and my mom had to come cos my husband was very busy at work.
When she applied she was granted but later they said it was under administrative checking that was going to take a long time. I mailed the embassy and told them I need to get back to work and my mum visa that has been approved was been put on administrative checking. They replied me and sorted it out cos I told them there's no way I can come back alone with the twins alone.
Assuming u even add one of the twins ticket with another person, will be the person help you on board.my dear if it's a connecting flight it's a no no, you will definitely need help. Babies can be cranky especially when it's a long flightnot to talk of two babies. Let your husband reapply please or someone close to you. It's not a easy something
You can even try emergency sef

Abeg o any response. All na because of budget o

Hello People of God,

Can a statement printed on the 1 September be used for an interview holding 2 weeks later

Also can this statement be used at the POE where it is requested or a new one needs to be printed.

Thank you

You should get 2 signed letter by Monday. On VOA, I think they are very efficient.
