No leg room for her, she was 34 weeks gone. She had her baby prematurely @ 34 weeks immediately they landed cos baby was distressed.

Very traumatising I tell ya.

@ firstymum, Nasadiva, Modath, Ozycy and other experienced mommas in the house, pls can we be guided on what to buy in Nigeria before traveling for childbirth? It will be difficult to buy all from the states, and even more difficult to go shopping with baby wen back in Naija. Pls and pls do advise, what's worth buying here before porting? E se pupo.

Nothing much apart from drugs, most especially antibiotic for yourself, i wasn't given after my C-section & it wasn't funny...

I took pure coconut oil & shea butter from here,

I also took sponge (yoruba tinz ) to baff bambino.

If you are into pap/ogi, please take it from Naija, If you manage to get , it costs an arm & a leg or Nefertitiram fufu ogi..

Will Edit if i remember any other thing...

Every other thing boku for there...

Hi Lialian,

Sorry for being late to answer. I heard about budget sheet on this forum. It's (for what i understand) a self-made thing.
If you have a doctor's correspondence with expected cost to back it, it's better.
Someone kindly posted a template on the forum and i used it to do my own (see the attachment)

Besides, since you're also traveling from the UK, do you have any advice about what to answer when the CBP officers asks why come to the US to give birth ? I'm really freaking out

Joleenluv:
Gd am ,wonderful Nairaland family, I am a newbie, been reading since April '15. Went for our visa today 14 Oct- Me, DH & my mum. Mum was granted me & hubby refused,our transcript goes thus:
Vo: gd am, why do u want to go to US?
Hubby: for vacation & to have our baby.
Vo: what do you do?
Hubby: Project Manager
Me: Accountant
Vo: How long have you been employed
H: 3 years
Me: 1 years 6 months (Changed my job, worked with my previous employer for 5 years)
Vo: where do u guys want to go?
hubby: Houston, Texas
Vo: Have u contacted a dr?
US: yea, pass across email correspondence & appointment letter
Vo: Have you travelled together before?
H: No but my wife has travelled severally alone. (UK, SA, Ghana)
Vo: When last were you in the UK?
Me: July '12 (But we both have current UK visas)
Vo: I am sorry you are not eligible

Please NLers help as I don't know where we went wrong. I intend applying alone but the earliest date is Nov 9th and I am already 30weeks.
Thanks

q

I would advice you to start the reapplication process immediatly and keep checking randomly for a closer interview date,folks here have done this and were successful,some ppl advice that you should check around mid night. you can also try another location,for example if you were denied in lagos try abuja next.
With regards to your rejection,i think the main issue is that you dont have a travel history with your husband and also you dont have ties back home!do you have kids that you are leaving behind to serve as ties to home country? Would advice you to apply alone this time around,so that yor husband staying back will be your tie.
Wish you the best

olokings:
No ma'am.

favoredgal:


JFK isn't the breeze through everyone think it is o! Read back last few pages of part 2. Someone even got deported from JFK

so,so sorry to hear this,i would advice you start the reapplication precess immediatly
With regards to your rejection,it could be because you dont have ties back home,since you are travelling with hubby and child,but again,whole family have been given visas before,cant really say what went wrong in your case,but will advice you apply alone next time so that kid and hubby will serve as ties to home country.
All the best

[quote author=nefertitiram post=38974661]Yes ma,
But it's 5 cents a min to Naija so I never bothered with calling card, just topped up my ultramobile wallet or intl up credit online using my access bank visa card and voila! I can dial direct.

I spent less than $15 month on international calls, and texting is free.

The whole calling one number to dial naija using code on calling cards (Raza and Boss) was just tiring for me.


Did u do any of the bundles? And is it asides the bundle payment per month you will buy intl top up. Sorry. I dnt rly understand, i am on the website n i can see diff bundles.

dyout:
Fidelity is giving currently, but i have not been able to locate any of their branch that have $$. Access stop selling last Friday, But they promised me to check back this week. FBN are not selling also. Stanbic is like 22... for PTA.

Thanks a lot

I suffered same fate last week after waka all over Lagos. Travelex finally saved me from suffer head. My consolation is that its way cheaper than $225 black market rate. So help yourself o because PTA is now like Diamonds!

Seriously, it's even more scarce than Diamonds that you can get with your readily available cash

We however proceeded on our trip in sept has planned. We spent exactly 2 weeks and presently back to Nigeria. It was while we were there that Frnd and family adviced us to come have the baby in the USA. Also at the POE,the officer there noticed that my wife is pregnant and asked if we were there to av d baby. We said No that we only came for holiday.which is true bcus we never tot of it . She will b due in Feb 2016. Please what are our chances at the POE. ? Thank you. So sorry for the lengthy Torry.

You've gone and come back so no wahala. But then send a change of intent to the embassy. There are people that weren't even pregnant during the vacation but was still asked for the letter at the poe
