Hian!!! Me nko ladyguinivere ? Na me first reply her o...u knw I gat mad love for u na...u cum mention modath and mzfavour alone.

I'm deeply hurt!!

LadyGuinivere:
Chai. I spent my time answering before I saw all the thing madam wrote for me.
Well, its already posted. What else can I do?
Don't get it twisted o. Funtolash, I took out my time to answer because of God and not cos of anything. I owe u nothing and answered before I saw your clapback. Cos in truth all your questions have been dealt with over and over.


Thanks Modath and mzfavour and all you nice fellows

Smiles!! Never judge a book by its cover they say...I doubt if anybody wud prolly reply u with the way u just flexed dem words to ladyguinivere (she's one of the calmest bbz here and it's unfortunate u found her response da way.

You are actually here to learn but have you truly researched? I mean u read from part 1-3? Cos if u did, you won't be asking questions about airlines!!

#My2cents#

funtolash:
@ LadyGuinivere, thanks for your response but I think your answer was more or less saying my questions were stupid. If you don't understand the logic behind my question, I think you should just have ignored it. For instance on the airline question, different airline with different customer service that makes the flight more pleasant than the other. I read someone asked what the rate for moneygram at unity bank was. Why didn't the person just Google it? Becos he/she trust to get a firsthand info from here.

Even if i am stupid, I am not stupid enough not to know that I need to do my research and homework but nothing beats experience. Alot of people have asked questions about hospitals accommodation that they probably can easily find on Google but they chose to ask it here cos they will get first hand info about them and even probably more recent one at that.

Just curious, when you wanted info on this platform, did you read through the entire over 1000pages including part 1 &2?

Really don't know you from anywhere and wld have appreciated your silence than the response you.

Which doctor and hospital?

ajujuju:
If only my doc will take Form A. I rejoice wt you jare

Me too o!

nefertitiram:
Na part 1 part 2 or 3 fear me pass inside the story o! Choi

But u get mind sha o.... Just $300 but it's good u backed it up with a good story/evidence.

Congrats dear...May the rest of your journey be smooth like this too.

To God be the Glory, I got to the US on wed POE is atlanta, Information is power. It is good to read and go prepared with proof n with God on your side you will conquer all POE hassles. I used wheel chair, got to atlanta 5.20am, was wheeled to scan passport n snap then to the CBP
Me: Gmorning

Me: To have my baby
CBP. : Where in the US

CBP. : Which hospital in maryland?
Me. : Holy Cross Hospital
CBP. : where is ur husband?
Me. : He is in Nigeria
CBP. : How much do you have with you?

CBP. : Ok, hold on got my passport and I was wheeled to another officer he told me the officer will take care of me
Me: I don know that's secondary inspection, my mind was at rest that I am ready for you too, hmmm
When we got to the officer he put my passport n daughter' s in a file and gave the person wheeling me then off we go for secondary inspection, he handed over my file to the CBP in charge then was wheeled to a inner room and met some people there too, so waited to be called on, then finally the time came n was called on like 20 minutes after..... here we gooo

CBP : Do you have any correspondence withe the DR?
Me: yes I do, handed over my correspondence with dr's appointment.
He read very well n carefully then nodding his head in satisfaction
CBP: Do you have a cell phone?
Me: Yes I do n handed over my phone by then I saw my sister's missed call cos I already called I was in atlanta immediately the plane landed he collected my phone and demanded for my sister's number then I showed him I already missed her call
CBP: He then dialled her no from his fone but unfortunately my sister didn't pick up so he left a message and continued chatting me up
CBP: how did you send money to your sister, told him dollars is very scarce in Nigeria at the moment so what I do is my sister finds out anyone in need of naira in Nigeria n has $ in d US, then I credit the person's account in Nigeria n sister get the $ in her account
CBP : Do you have any evidence to that or can you show me the transaction on your fone I said ok and he asked, how long have you been doing that?
Me : told him. By then he put another call through to my sister then so she picked up, n exchange words with her n confirmed all I told him, then finally he said I like honest and well prepared people like me then he said congratulations ,stamped me in till sept with my LO then gave me a word of advice not to take medicaid and asked if I could make it to the connecting flight or do I still need assistance so I asked how far the distance is he said he doesn't know so I kuku wait for someone to wheel me so he called them for me.
While waiting we got chatting, hmm mm my fellow nairalanders the CBP's actually are reading about all our posts here and knows all we say about them, Na so he asked how did you get to know you can birth in the US, are you on nairaland? See mee oo, I cum dey laugh I said yes he said where did you read, part 1,2 or 3? Shooo! I said I read part 3 he directed me to part 2 that I should read that they talked about one CBP in there that sent a woman back or something that he is actually the one they were talking about Na so gist ooo, so moral of my story be well prepared and say the truth at all times honesty pays.....

Sorry if twas u i replied instead of the person that asked cos u sound like i offended u

Smh!

Asked around and was told $4k , u can verify that too as I only asked one person.

Enizo:
did they sell 2k or 4k usd

Errrmmmm... Am I the one that asked the question? Everyone knows about the 2weeks booking. So u should have directed ur answer to the person that asked! I only said what I saw and thats it.

shinnie:

Dey gave $4000

Lmao! Aswear u r wicked!! See as I dey laff for steering

TheLeakyTribe:
Pele.

1st 30 minutes -get free WiFi for however long it lasts and ping and browse and inform your people that the 1st leg of your journey has been done and dusted.

2. ask around, some airlines give free meals when you have long layovers.

3. find a secluded corner with enough seats for you to lie down, if possible get one Close to your check in area, restrooms and a screen were you can see flight details.

4. lie down and snooze.

5. this is very important when you have a long layover it is essential that you have as little carry on luggage as possible.

6. wake up, check the time and snooze some more. ignore anyone asking you to sit up, you're pregnant you need the rest

7. window shop.

8. exercise your toilet breaks( if you're like me you'll probably have 10 or more in the 10 hour wait )

9. begin to realise that long lay overs are frustrating and promise yourself never to do it again.

10. do it again and repeat 1 to 9 because, cheaper tickets!

Was there today and they sold to pple traveling today and tomorrow.

bepop:

I got the generic response.

Here:
Thank you for your inquiry.

Please note that there is no legal requirement to inform us that you are seeking to give birth in the United States or that your purpose of travel has changed. The Customs and Border Protection, a branch of USCIS, determines a traveler's eligibility of entry to the U.S, you should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking medical treatment and that you have logistical and financial plans for the treatment.

We recommend that you review the regulations on non-immigrant aliens entering the United States for purposes of childbirth at https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882/~/visit-the-u.s.-while-pregnant-and-the-risks-involved and plan accordingly. Please you should not stay in the U.S. longer than you are permitted by Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

If you choose to give birth in the U.S., we advise you to bring evidence of payment, both when you enter the U.S. on this visit, and at your future U.S. visa interviews.

Sincerely,
