Amother4life:

Since you are coming from a country that participates in the visa waiver program ( the European Union I presume) I would humbly suggest you refrain from using the popular slogan " because of better health care" for obvious reasons when asked why you decided to birth in the United States. There is really no "safe "POE anymore but there is always the grace of God . Goodluck

What do you suggest me to say instead ?
Do you think being bold and saying: "because i want dual citizenship for my baby" would be OK or could bring me trouble ? embarassed

PS I got my PTA @ Travelex at the airport, rate was 203.8 on the morning of the 8th. You can get it as early as 2 weeks before your travel date, because it's not always available and there may be a queue on your day of travel. All you need is your ticket and passport not boarding pass.

Yokus

They didn't even ask me how much I was carrying till I got to the us... So I'm wondering which new laws.

To pay oakbend in advance:

ur husband can pay from Nigeria after you have gotten here. All you do is register, get the account number ( and all the info d bank in naija needs) and your Hospital id number. Then your husband shld go to the bank with copies of ur passport page, visa page, ticket... Then fill a form A then the bank will do the rest. I'm sure of gtbank

There's no safe Poe o... Just pray, be honest, be prepared and confident.

Goodluck

Note that paying medical bills before u get to the US doesn't guarantee entry.

Can one still use this form to pay hospital bills even after PTA has been given?

Reporting live from Dallas! I got in Oct 8 @ about 2pm through DFW POE via Lufthansa. Flight was very good but kind of long.
Pls book a wheelchair for the Frankfurt /Dallas leg of the journey, the waka was long to get to the terminal.

I spent very few minutes with the CBP , was with my mom.
Was asked-
Where in Dallas are you going to - Arlington

Purpose - Vacation

How long are you staying - 4 months

How much do you have - $***

Are you preg - Yes

How do you plan to pay- showed all docs stapled together ( deposit to Elpaso since last Yr, baby budget, letter of correspondence, hosp fees and breakdown )

So you made an advance payment? Yes (this was for the previous pregnancy we lost last year, not as leverage for POE o!)

Said thought you were going to Arlington? - Yes for a month then later Elpaso.

Do you have a husband? Yes

What does he do? ****

Is he coming later? Yes, before the baby arrives.

Stamped us in till April 2016.

Proceeded to Agricultural for food check and customs to fill currency declaration form.

Thank God for favour and to the wonderful people on this amazing thread for knowledge! Been reading since last year. Information is power!

Now resting as my feet are swollen and I am still tired.

Safe delivery, POE and visa interviews to everyone!





pls I sent u a pm kindly reply thanks. U gave an advise on health section abt cerlage stuff. Sorry to come in here unannounced. Pls respond to my pm thanks

Wow, we are on part 3. Yayyy.
Great job everyone. I just want to say a big big thank you to all the administrators and contributors.
After a successful trip and delivery I finally arrived Nigeria in July with my baby and 5 year old. Everything was beautiful, thanks to all of you for your support and help.
To all the new parents and intending parents just joining in, this is where it's happening, just read and take notes. Ask questions too if you're not clear on certain issues.
Congratulations to all the new parents and good luck to everyone.
God bless you all.
Mr Justwise : na God go bless you.
Mr Tvega : God bless you.
Dere5 : God bless you.

You declare it with the immigration at the airport though doing that with Nigeria immigration is a different story entirely but when you are randomly searched and the money is discovered the question will be..did you declare it or why did not declare it?

Yes its perfectly possible to go through with such money without anybody bothering you but when they do....
