JAZES:
to say this thread has been helpful to my journey with my family is an understatement.
This has to be the most educative and informative thread on nairaland in my own opinion.......

Let me quickly share my poe experience:

As soon as we landed @ jfk on 29th Aug, 3 police officers walk up to us:
Officers: Hello
Me: Hello
Officers: What are u guys here for? (for my mind i dey think say una no go
even let us enter first?)
Me : Vacation and my wife is here to give birth
Officers: Oh your wife is pregnant?
Me: Yes she is
Officers: thats cool- what do u know about female circumcision?
Me: I told them what i know about it in my own little understanding
and my wife also did the same
Officers: Are u in support of it?
Me : Support ke? No o ( At this point i come ask them if they
are the immigration officers cos we have not even scanned our passport yet)
Officers: they quickly say no that they are just doing a survey on female circumcision
Me: I said oh ok

Meanwhile , why they are asking us questions the other lady who is one of the officers (by the
way all of them are ladies) was taking down note from my response like say they one write jamb exams.
Anyways, to cut the long story short, they led us to another officer who now started another round of
questions and ask to see our correspondence with d doctor and ask how much we have on us- the officer
later said we should proceed to the immigration that he is sure they will let us in.

As soon as we got there, they ask me to submit my passport and that of my family. I was taken to another room
for another round of questions while my wife and kids stayed outside.

I was kept on the waiting list with other folks for close to 2hrs b4 i was called in, they asked the same questions the ladies asked me
and some of the ones they asked when we went for d interview in Lagos.

Long story short, i was eventually stamped in for 6months and surprisingly when i stepped outside,
my wife told me they have already stamped her passport and that of the kids at the point they took
me inside. That they immediately handed her d passports and that of the kids and ask her to go wait for me.

In all, i just want to say thank u to everyone who has contributed to this thread and share their
wealth of knowledge with us all- i hope that my own experience will inspire others who are aspiring to go
on this journey too.
Cheers

Thanks so much Babatwi,

We have both been to dubai and I should be going to London in few weeks. I understand it will cost on the average about $10-12k for the trip. I am quite concerned about having immediate family in the US, how much of a disadvantage is this? As you said, nothing ventured, nothing gained, but I really have to be sure I stand a chance at all before putting in my N120k ( Visa for 2).
[color=#990000][/color]you can as well sponsor her trip and you be here so you can act as a tie here in Nigeria. While she is there, you can apply for your visa. My thoughts thou. ..

modath:


5-10 days... Mine was ready in 5days or so..

Babatwi:


Most cases drop box takes averagely 1wk,but in some extreme cases it extends more than that but rare.

worldgee:
Happy mid-week to u all!

Chanbaby:


Yes I told them I was self paid and I'm paying cash cos I'm an international patient. The person that referred me told me she paid $30 so I insisted on the $30 price beside I don't live there so I don't have a monthly income just filled $200. Besides there are several hope clinics and they said their price ranges from $30- $75. Maybe the city where u used them is more expensive. That's why u paid $100.

debby516:
In my opinion, one shld just avoid them, especially with Twoods' defination of Federal something something

Flowers:


I used Dr. Rubina Khan the last time but the clinic was really far from where I stayed. She's such a great person and really helpful. I won't mind a cheaper paed that is near now. However this paperwork and low income thing I don't know

ifyadajesus:

Congratulations sugah,

So I'd they discount Ur Bill na bad thing? Haba, isn't that the benefit of self-pay again?

@greatie,

I paid today o, and really don't have any doctor in mind. I kinda like Methodist so might stick to it. Abi anyone with an affiliated doctor to Houston Methodist?

LadyGuinivere:

University of Nigeria Teaching hospital Enugu/san bernadino

Nasadiva:


*cough * ehhh I guess you are mixing up the hospital contact. Methodist Sugarland is a different hospital from Oakbend medical. Kindly clarify.

NikkyK:
