Hello house.
Thank you all for the info. Please I am due in December and tried to book an appointment date in Abuja and the earliest am getting in Abuja is December 4th, while Lagos is October 22nd. Please has any one checked recently and gotten other dates. Cos I honestly don’t know what to do.

I just checked on Abuja sep 10, Lagos Oct 18,25..

Longrich panty liner will treat this, its just 1500 for 30pcs..message me..

For future it best u have the pack..

Thanks for the reply but what if we wait and apply after 1 year and say that he doesn't have anyone in the US at the second trial? I'm just confused. That agent messed up his application big time

I think that is a better approach..but it will be stated in his data at the Embassy of the 'kid' in the US.

Can you and your kids go for interview separate from him?...

sadsad:
I wish I had come to Nairaland before approaching an agent someone introduced to me. I and my family were denied today.
The consular asked about our travel history, we've only been to Dubai and Ghana as a family.
The agent filled that my husband has a daughter he will be meeting in US which is not true. My huband has noone in US. When I saw the form I challenged him to Change it but it was too late. Please how can I erase the false declaration in our next trial. We want to try again in 6months time.

It will take a lot for this to be erased on the US system, the issue a lot of agents have is they feel they know everything, meanwhile that mess so many people up.

I don't know the miracle that can happen but that lie stated will hunt ur husband for a long time..but there is nothing that can't be changed..

What the US embassy wants is the truth, just b yourself and say the truth..

shadeag:
if you have ears listen or else you would sleep overnight at their airport.do not fly air moroc..worse planes with no WIFI or entertainment,bad customer care and they made me miss my flight and i was forced to pay $200 or else i would have slept in their bad airport for days..i saw people at the airport that have been there for days..they dont offer you food or water..i can go on and on,that airline treat you badly if you dont speak french or arabic.STAY AWAY FROM AIR MORROC

oh and lastly..i got to nigeria and my luggage didnt come with the plane and i asked them at morroco to make sure..i got my luggages after 5days and they destroyed my new boxes

Used them 8yrs ago, had same experience.. Meanwhile a friend used them n said good things, me I don't think I will ever use the again...they don't care for Nigerians..

chloe00:
I’ll personally advise you to wait if you can till you’re in Nigeria because it’s wayyyyy cheaper here compared with the 300-500usd you’ll get as the cheapest over there.

Its free in some Lagos Health centers..

2. For those that used Dr Xydas/HNWMC, do I need to do labs here or are they covered in the fee paid? As much as possible I don't want to incur additional cost in the US on labs.

Thanks a mill for your response.[/quote]When I used Dr.Xydas even if u have labs from Nigeria, they also do their labs for u including pap smear, which is incurred/ added in ur doctors bill already.

Pls not u will still do blood works in the hospital if going for CS, so please bear in mind u will pay that fee too, for urs and ur LO.

Best of luck

Been a while i came here.
Tuwale to all those giving information here, congrats to new mums n dads.....
Missed this thread... And am here to give back..

I gave birth to my daughter in 2015 in Hoston, and I gave my reviews then.. I had a good POE experience and paid all my bill.. I stated that I was going to use 10wks but I used 5month..thankfully my Job was still waiting for me..

So I did my Dropbox 2wk ago and I was given two years visa, I just did the collection at DHL Isolo. Truth b told I was scared because of stories here of been given 221g etc.. But it all ended in praise..

Maybe its luck, maybe its my data base with the US...

What is important is to be truthful to the US Embassy, every county wants money, no country wants liability hence when ur trying to go to another man's country just say the truth..am going for delivery (show proof of going back to ur country n proof of not being a burden to them).

So I thought today would be the day I'd come here to finally share my story as a beneficiary of this thread for such a long time, but alas it was not to be
But I've decided to share this story still *long post alert*

I had my first visa appointment in September to go and have my 2ND baby in the US (I had my first over 6 yrs ago in the UK. The pregnancy was high risk and I needed to get out ASAP at the time and since I had a valid British visa, I decided to go to the UK immediately. I had my baby, paid all my bills and been back in the UK many times since then)
We had planned to travel to the US this Christmas for vacation but 10 days after we submitted our application(tourism), I found out I was pregnant (after over 6 years) so we decided that since our interview was about a month away, we would do the needful and let the consular officer know of our intention.

I wanted to have the baby in Houston since I have a lot of family there so I swung into action and started to do my research. Because my pregnancy is high risk (yet again) it was difficult to get a doctor that would accept me but with the help of the zocdoc app, I eventually found one and established correspondence. Fast forward to our interview in September, I was upfront with the consular officer and told him that even though I had initially planned to go on Xmas vacation, I now intend to go and have the baby in US. He said, even though he was aware the baby would arrive next year, he would like for us to reflect more money in our accounts and reapply.He denied us bases on that so
we took his advise and left.

Fast forward to today, we had our interview this morning. Please see transcript below:

VO: Good morning, passports please
DH and I: Good Morning (hands over passports, we were also with our son who was tired from the long queue)
He then took his time to go through the computer (please note that in the new DS160 form, I chose B2 for myself and B1/B2 for DH and son. We also mentioned our conversation with the last consular officer, mentioned that we had our son in the UK, had investments we would be liquidating to demonstrate our financial capacity)
VO: Why have you applied to go the US today ma'am
Me: I'm currently pregnant and would be travelling to have my baby
VO: Where do you work and what do you do for them
Me: I work with xxxx bank and I'm responsible for this, this, this and that across the group and our subsidiaries
He asks DH the same question and he answers
VO: How long have you worked for this organisation
DH: 11 years
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before
Me: Yes. Schooled in the UK, Been to Germany as well
DH: UK and US
VO: Any correspondence from the doctor, budget sheet and statements?
Me: I hand them over and tell him to read from bottom up (the correspondence shows where the doctor is willing to accept me as a high risk patient, our willingness to pay some money upfront and the doctor's response to only receive payment after I've gotten my visa)
VO: Looks through the letter and all the statements. (Our budget was over 5m. Hubby's savings had over 6m, dorm account over $2, 500, I had close to 2m in investment with a letter to the embassy notifying that I had access to the money within 48 hours of notice and Hubby had treasily bill statement indicating over 10m)
VO: Starts typing for a really long time and gives us the blue paper with "I'm sorry you do not qualify for a visa at this time"

I've been so devastated as I had rehearsed over and over again how I was going to share my success story here. I was planning to travel 2nd week in February. Hubby thinks we should try again, this time just me and then himself and my son can apply afterwards.
I'm honestly confused. Don't know if I'd get a date ASAP. I've made a resolve to just have the baby here, but my family thinks I should try again.

You can try Abuja, if u were denied in Lagos.

Sotchaa:
Hello everyone, i am an almost silent observer on this thread. I have gathered as much information as possible,the only thing i am struggling with is best accommodation option. I have pretty much narrowed down to Dr Xydas of HNWMC. As per accommodation, i have a $750/month offer for a room ( all bills and gas covered)- about 10mins from the hospital, which will bring uber to about $15/trip. My question- has anyone used or does anyone know of any accommodation very close to the hospital ( maybe walking distance if possible) that is not that expensive? Also somewhere central to shopping malls etc...

I have tried maps but i think my best bet for answering this question is an experienced person- please help!

Thanks so much!

I don't know if anyone has used/stayed at the environs of the hospital but last I checked when I gave birth there using same DOC I didn't stay around the hospital cos that area to me is very unsafe...the rate of crime there is high last I visited o...I will not advice anyone to stay around the hospital/county..

But, where Dr Xydas clinic is located, the area is not bad but still not sure of the area's safety..

Beat of luck I hope you get a safe place soon..

In BTW, I see that MY Doc Xydas has increased his price from $1750 to $2000 , Nairalanders I hail o, the guy don open eye..

Hi guys.

So my ticket to Nevada is over 800k. Am trying to see if i cam get there cheaper so thinking of 1st flying to Ny as there seems to be many promos now for NY. But am wondering, wots d POE like in NY for preggies?

Another qstn is ds, I wanna travel August ending. When would be the best time to do a change of intent email to the embassy? Is it too early?

Is it advisable to travel with my toddler? Am wondering how il take care of her in my 3rd trimester with little or no help. Tho am stayin with ppl theyl hardly be home cos they go to work. Can i leave a 3yr old for 2.5mnths? Will it affect her psychologically? Plus child flight ticket to nevada isnt smiling o.

Finally, so av read thru previous threads that once u get ur babys american passport no need to stress over gettin a nign passport or visa over there. I can just apply for a VOA amd get it when we get to MMA yea? The 190 dollars is paid at MMA right?

If u have the money for Navada kindly buy it cos with preg n travelling its not easy. Then again u can buy NY ticket n buy a local flight in US before u travel, ur family in US can help u with that.

When I went for my trip, I left my 2yr old boy back home for 5mths it was not easy but I wanted it that way cos of the pregnancy although my mum came to meet me in US later but I knew it wld b tasking for both of us with my son..so I left him back with his dad.. Then its now depends on the gender, if its a girl pls just take her along..biko..

For passport, I collected the US palie for my girl and am yet to collect Nigerian Passport for her till now cos, I got a Nigerian visa on her US passport....later in the year, I will collect the Nigeria passport for her. I guess the MMA $190 thing is new...


For the intent, you can do it in June, if you do it earlier I don't think there is a problem..change of mind can happen at anytime so I think ur good when ever u send the mail...

Best of luck..

Well-done people for keeping this trend going..

Mandex11:
wonder why tho

Amazon n Walmart have put them out of business, and its possible they have bought them over, I mean another company..

Destinygrl:

Maryland is expensive no matter the county... Even holy cross is expensive even though a lot of Nigerians give birth there...if you have the money you will b billed n you have family support there, then ur good to go...

This is strange, I came in through Dallas POE at about 7 months plus and I didn't even spend up to 5 mins with the CBP before I got stamped with 6 months. Dallas POE is almost the easiest in this country. very sad for her o.

Heard you can fund your PayPal with some 9ja cards/account? Then pay with PayPal here...has anyone tried it? Please educate me/us mbok!

Tried, done n trusted.

I have two PayPal ACCTS one was opened in Nigeria with my stanbic card and when I got to Houston, opened another PayPal acct with my wells Fargo acct. Note two different emails must be used because you can send money to yourself.
I used either of my paypal accts to buy online with stores you can pay through paypal and also paid for my shipping with it at shiptomydoor. I also sent money in Naira to my American PayPal acct and sent it to my wells Fargo acct which took 2 days. They have charges like 3% of the money been sent.

Hello house,

Been a while, congrats to all the success stories n deliveries.
God bless us all. Amen
It is well.

Hello house,

I know PayPal does not charge up to black market, one can use PayPal to buy stuffs on line provided there is a PayPal option, this is for shopping. For bills I know one can open two diff PayPal's with two diff ACCTS eg one Nigerian card the second american card, so funds can be transfered from one PayPal to the other, you can then transfer to your american card/bank on pay pal (pls not it takes 2-3biz days for it to show in ur american acct). This is another route for money exchange n usage.

Best of luck guys
