Hello beautiful people, I got into the US on Sunday via JFK with my 3year old. POE was hassle free. I was asked my purpose and I told them vacation and childbirth. He asked how much I had on me and I told him.It was below $10000 so I wasn't to declare. All he said was congratulations and make sure you pay your bills. Sent to agriculture but my bag wasn't checked and I was free to go. Glory to God. Now waiting for my 1st appointment. Thanks a lot for all the help and info

Congrats Oyin,
which hospital are you using?

Thanks alot
Called intown suites (the Katy on highway 6) the manager quoted $1500+ for 5weeks. (Not mega bad) but I will Google studios
Thanks oooo

firsttymum:

Intown and soulcare is ur best bet for that price... Intown has discount if u r paying for a couple of weeks at once... But erm ensure its the "monthly plus rate" accommodation.
Then U can keep googling studio apartments in ur location ... U might find.. I know people here used this option in d past ...

[quote author=Cuteaidomo post=37662323]Please oh,,, I am still on the search for jan/February mamas going to Dallas...

Majority dont, dey will even tell you dey cant send you the quote via email only via fax. Also note majority reject pregnancy above 30 weeks.

Pls can I get his email addy! Thanks

Getting correspondence from other doctor in Houston is the best alternative. If ask at POE tell them you want to cool off in Dallas for a while before porting Houston. I don't think there will be a problem. My Opinion tho....

dt should not be a problem. I used correspondence from houston and am using a hospital in dallas.

Finally got PTA from Access bank Maitama branch after Zenith bank disappointed me.

firsttymum:
Popri U didn't mention my name ....

Yeeepeeee congratulations ... Wish u a successful stay dear

Ha! I typed ur name o, for some strange reason, I deleted it mistakingly while editing, my bad!
You are always on point o, thanks for your selflessness, was surprised to know u were a Dr and had so much time to research like that, weldone...
I'm ur colleague, not currently working tho, but mehn, my level of info not even close to yours, kudos!

May Gods favour be your backbone

Hello NL, please help my situation. Trying to book hotel/accommodation for visa and POE Waka for sugar land Houston, for Hampton inn and suites my bill is over $10,000 please anyone got better option for hotel booking for 10 weeks that I can present at embassy.
Thanks

Check out scottish inn and suites stafford.

nope.. that shouldnt be an issue..

houston - dallas is a drivable distance ergo u can easily port over when its time for ur deliver...

dallas is a nice vacation spot.. so its logical for you to wanna POE there before heading to houston for childbirth..

my logical perspective though.

Cuteaidomo:
@ olokings and dyout thanks a lot. Olokings I have mailed them,waiting for a response. As plan b,am thinking of using a dr in Houston for correspondence sake. Will there be a problem @Poe if I use a Houston doctor? Considering the fact that I will be landing at Dallas? Kindly let me know pls. Thanks.

Naija ATMs and their outrageous exchange rates & charges.. No way...!!!

You are better off with just cash but not everybody is comfortable carrying so much cash around or keeping @ home. Hence the bank acct.
Also to avoid the stares/looks from d store attendants when u spend so much in cash while shopping - U knw that their society is not cash based like ours [/quote]
