Dear new mums & mums to be already in the US. I just wanted to bring to our notice the increasing rate of measles in some states in the US. It might not be any cause for alarm but it doesn't hurt to be careful. Before we start to hear stories that touch. Happy weekend y'all.

Hello Peeps.

I arrived Houston Via Atlanta.

Trip was grt cos to me time flew fast.changed clothes did my make up and all on the plane.

When I joined the queue at POE I found myself in a line that that been attended to by a lady that seem to be taking her time asking questions I tried to relocate to another but was told to go back.well I went back n asked God 4 his favour which be granted abundantly.

The only questions she asked me was how many are u n she answered herself saying 2 plus d one on d way with a smile. I just said yes n smiled back.

She then asked how long will I be staying I said 2 n half months

Final question.how much do u ve on u. I told her was well over 10k my main strategy.

She stamped me in for 6 months n told me to go declare my cash

Found my self in secondary inspection I guess. Filled d form I was given. Then asked if I had d receipt for the birth of my first child I said yes n showed it.he looked n said I was free to go have my bags checked Cos I de cleared I had food.

I had loads of fish enough to open a small shop. starch, pap loads of spices n indome onions but only my Indomine was sized.

Now in Houston weather is great infact 2 hot

Thanks 4 all d replies on the best mobile network provider I think I will settle for TMobile or Simple Mobile

Dear consular officer I got deny usa visa in Jamaica after I try three times beforr last time was 2011.I think it was because I lied about my parents living in the usa I was afraid they weren't gonna grant me because of them living there.I put on the form that they are not in the usa and the consular officer ask me if they were there and I said no not that I know of I was visiting my sister who is in the navy as a LS3 logistic specialists and he ask me how did she enter the usa I said she travel on her own i shouldnt say that because she never went illegally .but I want to apply back now so I can get a date to put the truth on the paper I work as a aviation security at the airport I also got a commanding letter and an invitation letter from herself too.I also own a small buisness I did not put it on the form too.I just want to see my sis from I was 21 I havent seen her and she was 18 and now I am 31 please tell me the best advice what should I do.I akso see that I can apply anytime if I have enough evidence about my ties

Hello house, i've not been able 2 tell ma story cos of d long journey! Before I start lemme sound a very gud warning 2 mothers wit toddlers!

Thank God for succesful entry, oyaaa pattyreal, wer is the remaining part of the story? You didn't say why we shouldn't travel with toddlers. I am going with my very active 2 year old, my husband realized that i won't be able to deal with him in heathrow, and the boy would probably be fat asleep (finished grin) when we get to US. He decided to buy a ticket late and very expensive, kai!!. May God bless our hustle. AMEN

i'm sure they cbp called her uncle and he probably freaked out and denied knowledge of her El Paso plans. You know Nigerians in the US can be VERY funny when it comes to being involved with any kind of law enforcement authorities, especially immigration.

@shelly23, is that man even her uncle. Her husband's former teacher or what. I am sure your right, he didn't care any more about her.
@ Mabels. If she knew, she would have written to the embassy saying she isn't using her "uncle" again, and she has decided to give birth in the states That would have helped.
@ Everyone, lets free doctores letter (not the hospital, the agents. I dunno which is which) for Visa's and POE for now abeg. I wonder how she is doing. Our phones oooo, lets clear our phones please, lets not forget, our note pads that have too much info, leave that one in Nigeria, get a new jotter and write the important things, log out of nairaland, clear it from your browsers search history, if possible don't sync you email with phone. Not when the officer is checking your phone one email will come in saying
" babe I go do wetin you do, I will go with Dr. Fagbohun ' s letter and port to Doctores when I land El Paso .... lmao,
May God go before us, Amen...

All the Doctores critics don show again.We dey Elpaso dey bond ooo,they born,collect all our docs in 3-4weeks go house.Make una well done.Thats why so many El Paso bound people have refused to come back and give POE story or any other thing of that sort and resort to pm's.Dont judge when you don't know anything about a place.Face your own destination.So many people don't criticize MIHS,WHMC,Northside and the likes but when it comes to using Del Sol Medical Centre through Doctoresperati,claws will come out.If you have gotten there letter before,they will advice you on preferable POE's to use if you want.There are so many mamas who used Houston,Chicago and Atlanta POE here with Doctores letter and have gotten here successfully.So if you are not lucky, maybe the letter of responsibility no favour you.Just to add something else,if you come to El Paso,you will know that you don't even need to help them market Doctores.people from China dey come here,Togo,Congo,Kenya,Latinos,Naija and so many more.They are not lacking customers.

Why spend $20,000 on just giving birth, when that can be saved up and secured for your child's future. University perhaps?

I think you're missing the point here, I for one have to reason to criticize anybody's decision to give birth to their child wherever they choose to, especially when it's not my money they're using.

What I wrote was to tread cautiously i.e. be careful. There was a time when people were being denied visas because of the letter and the advise was to look for another doctor's letter for visa purposes and then switch to El Paso afterwards. At the end of the day, we've all admitted that we're all after the blue passport, so however we end up getting it, it's all good as long as we do it the right way!

My people how unna dey , read the story of the lady that had issues at chicago really feel for her, its well..
My advice for anyone coming to Elpaso...please and please just get a ticket that makes dallas your POE, reason and what I observed ,alot of Poe officers there are of latino background ,even from the airport you would notice and dallas POE is very friendy because mexicans are somehow friendly. ... all in all we pray for baba God favour....

Actually I travelled with my 2year(s) old son and I tell you it wasn't easy. It got to a stage I was praying for him to sleep especially with a journey like mine that was for 20hours. The stroller really helped during the waiting period. So my advice, if you're going with a hyperactive toodler go with a stroller.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by isysleek: 8:14pm On Feb 15, 2015
This one that some people are saying "use anoda doc's letter at POE and then port to El Paso afterwards". Wat if the CBP officer asks or sees your final destination ticket as EL Paso,how do u explain that.

I think d best thing is to avoid the horror POEs and be truthful.

God will see all all thru.

Elpaso is like boarder town between America and mexico,the hospital one would use here is called Delso medical center,Docsperati are like middle men that facilitates Doctor meets patient relationship,everything about them is kinda pretty straightforward, if you are using one of the doctors called Dr Martell be sure you would most likely deliver before 40 weeks the guy sabi force labour with some of his checks ,Then here bc takes time if you are lucky one week ,most times it comes after 2 weeks,thus be prepared cos trust some mums dem wan run go back naija sharp sharp..
If one wants privacy and dont want to depend on relatives thrn elpaso isnt a bad choice but the place far even people living here once you tell them you are in elpaso some ask wetin you find go there. ..but guess this is America the health care system has a standard..
