@Adommom, can you please share contact details of the virginia hospital you using.

In the spirit of giving back....
I came into Washington Dulles airport on Tuesday via Turkish Airlines... no fit to fly nor doctor’s report asked. Flew at 34weeks. Flight wasn’t so bad on the first leg because I was lucky to get empty seats to sleep. Istanbul to Washington flight was full and so it was 12hrs of torture and discomfort (no leg room and it was tight). Food wasn’t nice at all but I was compensated with the lovely airhost and air hostesses who gave me bread and butter every time I asked for (as that was the only thing I could enjoy).

Arrived Washington Dulles airport late in the evening. Queue wasn’t long as there were just two flights that landed around the same time. Before I could say Jack, I was in front of the CBP officer.

CBP: Good evening
ME: Good evening Sir (he was an elderly man)
CBP: Can I have your passport please
ME: Yeah sure! (Handed it to him)
CBP: why are you here in the US
ME: i’m here for vacation and childbirth
CBP: and how long will you be here for?
ME: 10 weeks
CBP: do you have any food?
ME: Yes please, I do! I have frozen pap, grounded egusi, grounded Ogbono, garri, pepper (I kept listing and listing until he interrupted...)
CBP: do you have any fresh foods say banana, orange, meat, fish....
ME: oh no...not at all
CBP: ok
CBP: Welcome to America!
ME: Thank you!

And that was how he stamped me in oo. He stamped and wrote “July x6” (has anyone experienced this before?) Just to be double sure, does this mean I was stamped in for 6months?

Was thinking I would be sent for secondary inspection cuz of the foods I mentioned or that I had a baby here 2 years ago but nothing oo...that was how I sharply exit the place...no Sec inspection, no agric! How much I had on me wasn’t asked? Not one of my documents was checked from the point of exit up to POE! The interrogation lasted for a minute or possibly less sef...it was super fast!

I give God all the glory ooo and thanks to all lovely Mamas & Papas in the house for giving back to this thread. It was a supersmooth POE experience!

I wish you all the very best at whatever stage you are in on this missionary journey![/quote]

[quote author=demiiii post=72338920]Hello, I will be going to Maryland too. Can you please give me the hospital and doctor you are using.

Am leaving November ending. Was planning on changing my ticket to December 2018.

@demiii hospitals IN Maryland are very expensive so am opting for Virginia which is quite affordable. Don't have doctor or hospital yet, still searching and comparing

Please does anyone have details of hospital in Virginia. HELP

ninab:
Did u add your change of name doc @ Dhl drop off

@ninab, No you don't need to add any change of name document. Just the documents stated on the interview waiver letter.

[quote author=MrsDaniels post=72255445]Can people give opinions please. What can she do?


[She can reapply but this time go with her resident permit. From the UK. The VO didn't believe she has one since there was no evidence just the vignette]

I did this year and was issued, I stated my previous name when asked which other name have used on the form [color=#006600][/color]

So no one has done a drop box after a name change due to marriage ?
Let me go and sleep since my question can’t be answered�[/quote]

[quote author=Mandydaisy post=72243959]Chicago or Houston... Not sure yet.



Hello, where are you going?

Am going to Maryland

Am also due in Feb 2019 and would be leaving late December. Wouldn't mind connecting if we are going to the same location.



I don't think it should be a problem if you are getting in before it expires. If you are due in Feb. I don't think changing your return to same Feb is feasible as baby needs to be a few weeks before you depart.
I'd say leave your ticket as it is and you'll be stamped in for the normal 6 months. Just make sure all other docs are in order.

I plan leaving late Dec as well n due in Feb. Where u heading?[/quote]
