Thank u so much .i really do appreciate. I Will continue in my search.
Pls my I also ask for all the documents I might be ask to tender at POE?
Thanks for ur regular responds.

Things like doctor and hospital correspondence, if you are employed ,your letter approving your leave etc. Just read the thread,by the time you finish,you will be fully equipped.

ChuksCodar:
i know thanks for your response God bless you i did but it has no been seen my main problem is that the package is not tracking

Based on my experience sending things via post office to Nigeria has to be supported with serious prayers o and you have to be patient. I have not sent stuff from the US before,but i have done a couple from China,some are trackable up till it leaves their country ,others are trackable even on Nipost website,while some are not even trackable at all. I will advice you to wait till after a month and keep visiting the post office in your area until you receive it. The good thing with mine is that i have not lost any parcel till date,once it arrives they put a notification slip in my post office box to notify me that my parcel has arrived and should come and collect

Greetings, to all the gurus in the house, please I will like to know if some one travelling for a heart problem still need a budget sheet, after the correspondence from the doctor. thanks. and God bless all.

I guess he or she still does. It is not compulsory,but i guess it would go a long way to show that you are prepared.What the budget sheet does is to let the visa officer interviewing you know that you are adequately prepared and had thought and calculated how much everything would cost you and that you can afford it

Atdor:
Thanks for the respond dere5. But the Dr I got in oakbend ask me too pay a deposit of 600dollars before I can be given an appointment letter . And was told if I don't use them there will be no refund of my money.

Hian! $600 kwanu,it use to be free o,then it went up to $300,now it's $600.God help us o,that's almost 280-290K in Naira . I won't advice you to pay it o,since you are not planning to use him,except you are,then,it will be deducted from your final bill.
What i would advice you to do is read this thread thoroughly with a pen and jotter and take down as much Dr and hospitals email address as possible and keep firering those email and I'm sure that before long you will get an unconditional reply that you can use for your interview and POE ? GOODLUCK

Atdor:
Hi every one am new on this forum and I appreciate all comments raised so far. I can hardly digest all from 1-4. Got to know about this forum late.

Pls my question is , my flight is next week, Houston to be precise. Pls am seriously in need of a Doctor and hospital at Katy , cos my host stays at Katy.

I seriously need an appointment letter from a Doctor at Katy cos i believe I might need it at POE. Pls help a sis . Even if I have to pay in advance.

Your doctor's correspondence doesn't have to be from a Dr in Kathy,it could be from a Houston Dr as well and you can port to Katy.. Texas is the most used state on this thread ,so your getting a letter from a Dr & hospital in Texas shouldn't be a big deal

Freshface:
Hi everyone, greetings. As a returnee mama who is a victim of accidental discharge, I dey hail. I was one of d 2014 MIHS mamas. .

I like the "accidental discharge " phrase . Na who shoot the gun? Lol

Afi7naira:
sabi mamas and papas please I want to ask.... before that let me say wow they is sooooo much info here i have barely slept and there's still alot unread!! Thank you all

1) if you are self sponsoring (business owner) is it necessary to add hubby's accounts etc for the visa application? what docs replace employment letter, leave letter, intro letter etc
2) I am modifying a budget sheet from from from part 1--- its seem similar to that of part 2 so is it okay or do i need to use exact costs from hospital?
3)is it advisable to pay a deposit to the hospital before visa application? are they any hospitals that refund fully if visa refused?
when is the ideal time to apply?
4) has anyone use es para ti documents for visa application lately?part 1 and 2 seem to suggest that VOs dont like it very much

Please can anyone assist with a respond- Thank you

I see that no one has attempted to answer you,so let me try:
1) I don't think it's absolutely necessary to add your husband's statements of account if you are sponsoring yourself ,afterall single women sponsor themselves. Add Documents that show that you are the owner of the business etc
2) In your budget sheet you will need to use the exact cost from hospital & doctor to match with your doctor' & hospital correspondence and you will also adjust the exchange rate to reflect present rate..
3) It is not compulsory to pay a deposit to the hospital,flow with your heart,some VO see it as an act of desperation,while others see it as an act of seriousness ,no fast rule here.. some hospitals don't refund 100%,they make some deductions before refund.
4) People still use the Dr esparati, i have not read that Vo had any issues with them lately . I hope i have been able to help. All the best in your quest.

ChyG:
Hello house. Please does anyone know of any affordable hospital in Oregon? I've been on the search for more than a year now... I've got family there. Things would be a lot easier for me if I use a hospital within Oregon. Kindly help a sister pls.

I remember "swappylove" saying she had her 2nd baby in Portland Oregon and that it wasn't cheap at all all o

topefola1:
Hii every1, hope we're doing great. Pls I'm Dallas bound next month for my missionary journey. I contacted the Dr I intend to use and she sent a correspondence to me yesterday. My question now is this, the letter isn't on an official letterhead though it was signed, PLS IS THAT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE? Hope it won't look informal to this cbp people ooh.
Thanks

I think the letter you got is ok ,provided it has some basic info like she has agreed to take you on as a patient,cost breakdown,doctor's name and phone number etc

Hello people. I can't believe I've been reading this thread since PT 1. Goes without saying I'm no where near done yet. But so far, I only saw one place this was talked about in the previous thread but if it's been mentioned a lot more I haven't reached there yet. But why are we so few considering birthing centers? I mean they are cheaper and you still get your baby's citizenship but more importantly for me I really really want to experience water birth. Which we no dey do for hia.Who and who have tried it and what was the experience like? Looking into some birthing centers already and seen inclusive packages for about 4500 and yes there's a diff between them and hospital births but my friend who is a licenced medical doctor in the states even thinks for an uncomplicated pregnancy they are a very very safe and less expensive option to have your baby. They even have pain relief alternatives to epidurals. And some centers even offer VBAC. If you do not have gestational diabetes, not carrying twins, or any other infection or complication as such I say why not? Biko who's in the same boat o

Most people don't consider birth centers here because of the uncertainty and complications associated with it. If by mistake God forbid complications occur you are on your own o,the person will have to be rushed to the hospital and at the end be slammed with some outrageously high bill, so at the end you are in a deep mess instead of saving money, na gbese. But if you say you have a birth center that has covered all these concerns,then all the best. Pls come back to give us update o

oniwoski:
Many thanks for your answers so far....planning on birthing in houston. Pls for the gurus...i have bout 300k left to complete my total estimated cost in my budget sheet and my interview is sooooo close....Kindly assist on how to answer if asked why by the vo cos i won't have the money until next month salary is paid...biko i need suggestion.....This thread is been amazingly helpful to me...thanks

300k is no bigie now,tell them that according to plans,that by your departure date your salary would have dropped as they can see from your statement the date it usually drops

leleti:
Hello good people.so I apologise for my recent silence.especially after you all were so kind in your replies to me after I posted my broken leg dilemma. E mabinu brothers and sisters.So, quick recap- planned my trip to LA, sorted out Dr, hospital and accommodation, and then, a week to ttravel date, fell and broke my leg.Understandably, hubby and I were confused. Hubby put his foot down and cancelled the trip.Had to go on admission, with a full leg cast. After series of talks with both our parents, we decided
CBP- you can't do that.now looking angry
Me- I informed your embassy.its not illegal
CBP- ok. Stamps us both in, gives my aunt her passport, tells me to follow him.my aunt looked at me like she wanted to strangle me.the wheelchair guy kept saying you shouldn't have said that, you shouldn't have said that.i was suddenly very very calm.
We walked into what looked like a police station you see in the movies.he dropped my passport in a file, gave it to another officer.We waited 2 mind, the wheelchair guy o

Leleti! You are one super girl/woman. You mean say you carryied belle and broken leg enter obodo America for missionary journey.
When i dint hear from you again i thought you had jettisoned the idea o,only for me to now read that you have even landed self. Wish you all the best in your endeavour

bigfido:
from what i have noticed, VO don't even like hearing about car importation and selling business. I think i read it in one of the previous threads. If you need to prove that you have money to pay for your trip, kindly put that money where you are sure won't raise questions. Money for buying and selling cars should actually be in a company account if it is a business. i might be wrong thou. try and look up previous threads

Give the Vo both statements and explain to them . I know people that got visas solely by telling the vo that they are travelling to the US to buy cars and other goods eg supermarket groceries to sell in Nigeria and they got visas without any qualms

Chanbaby:
@ladyG the money there now is his payment( commission) for all his purchases. Just that the account has constant in flow of very large sum.

Pls, one other thing I was at Gtb to pay for B2 visa and it showed B1/B2. I asked the lady and she said there is no B2 in her system that I can use B1/B2 for medical. Since my purpose is for child birth I wanted to apply directly for medical visa. I need to b sure b4 I submit and book appointment.

It's the same thing,they combine the two together to get B1/B2. The lady you met at the bank is right

Divinefavrite:
Hello people, good morning. I have been quietly following this forum since May this year when a friend introduced me . I have read, made notes , researched and finally it paid off.
I had my visa before I discovered this forum. In getting the visa, there was so much mix up but on getting here I discovered my mistake and decided to set my records straight as much as is possible..

I bless the Lord on your behalf. Nothing as good as the truth.

Hi to everyone, Good to be part of this great platform. Double thumbs up to whoever came up with this idea as I gained a lot & helped me to prepared for my POE interview. This should be a forum to share ideas and make everyone a better person by stretching helping hands to one another.
I have been a silent reader on this platform since I applied and got my Visa in early April 2016.I was introduced to the platform by my younger brother in may.
I have been trying to register since I arrived Chicago but don't know how to go about it but finally I did.A grateful heart, thank you all.
I wish i could share my whole story but don't want to bored you guys.
I actually got my Visa for Vacation but since I was convinced by people that I could use it for childbirth then I concurred. I have been married for almost 10 years looking for the fruit of the wo

Congratulations! He makes all things beautiful in his own time,if not? how do you explain almost 10yrs of waiting on the Lord.
He will perfect that which he has started ,your testimony will be full in Jesus name.

long post alert

I got into Houston this week. My initial plan was to enter in September, I had already bought ticket sef but we discovered that my child had a tumor... See eh, when something strong happens, you just have to drop everything in God's able hands and start working in harmony with your faith. So I changed my tickets, DH got emergency tickets, we gathered ourselves to Houston. We flew Emirates.

Just said a prayer for your child,it is well in Jesus name

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how easy Newark POE is?

You better grab the ticket o,No biggie about Newark POE,j just type "Newark POE" on the search and it will give you different results of people that used that airport. All the best

Hello nairalander
Please i just need to clear my doubts
I went to Newyork by march,spent 2weeks and came back, i went for my wedding shopping. That was my intent at the interview , and now my wedding has been postponed to December, and i want to go back next month end tru newyork again, i want to go and buy things for sale in my shop.... hope am good to go
Can i say my wedding has be postponed when am asked ?
And can i use my B1/B2 visa to go and buy goods for sale ,
Because thats my purpose of travelling this time
And i would book my hotel reservation to go with.
Another question is that i booked Etihad airways , and i just read in this post that i would be interviewed in Dubia? It got me worried..thanks oh am so sorry this is not the right post ..i just realized...

You can still use your visa to travel and buy good to sell.
Be truthful if asked about your wedding,just tell them the truth that the wedding has been shifted. If you are flying Etihad,your POE will be at Abu Dhabi not Dubai

RILV:
Hello friends. Pls I need ur help. My visa will expire end of nov and I will be due in nov end. I intend to travel in Sept ending. Pls I need advice will I be stamped in more than Nov? Cos I will need more time to prepare my baby document. Pls make una help abeg.

You don't have any worries,the CBP officer reserves the right to stamp you in for any duration ( from 1wk to 6months.) The law says you can even enter a day before your visa expires. What matters is that it has not expired when you are entering. Don't fret, i have read here about a lot of ppl with similar scenario and were stamped in for 6months

Colouredgirl:
Hello my people,
Am a lil bit confused,i intend staying in houston,buy my hubby's friend flaked on us..now i intend staying with my aunt in chicago.
Does it pose a Problem if i my POE is chicago and i end up not goin to houston,
Note:the addy i used on my visa app is houston.
Pls i need help on this
Thanks fam!

I don't think you will have any problem,peoples poe are at times different from their final destination for various reasons,it could be as result of cheap ticket etc. What matters is for you to be able to explain your self convincingly when asked or better still,you can get correspondence from a Chicago doctor instead

crystalsaint:
Good evening house...have been following this thread for awhile now...I can say I have learnt a lot...my interview is nextweek..please I want everybody to answer this question..abeg sir and ma...please I beg..is it compulsory I go with receipt and doctor 's letter..or can I go with the letter alone without the receipt...

You can go with doctors letter alone and moreover,not all doctors in the US accepts payment before patients arrival in the US.

I keep hearing I need a return ticket for LO. Will I be asked who will bring LO back on return? Please help as m leaving this weekend. Tnx.

Yes you do need a ticket for your LO,would advice you to call the airline and tell them you want to add your baby and they would give you quote

As the time of my application in June I was not pregnant and our intension was to go for our annual vacation in new york ( although he asked if i had a relative in america and i said yes but will not be staying with him since it was a familiy vacation). Due to some issues at work my leave was recalled and we didn't travel. Took in in October and I didn't want to go for vacation anymore knowing fully well I needed 2 start saving.

I think you don't have an issue,i just went into my strong room (according to LadyG) now to check my own visa,it has the "annotation" below the M also, and so does my last expired visa too, so i sincerely think you are good to go.

Egonne1:
Thanks people, would just go for the 64 pages. I was just wondering what I would do with 64 pages passport but ita better than to jam those naija immigration at the airport. God bless u all.

Pls don't even think about it,what it simply means is that your daughter overstayed her visa,they can make your life unbearable if she doesn't have a Naija passport. It's better for her to have the 64pages than for you to go through that kind of stress.

MrYagi:
Dear Nlanders
Please kindly weigh in on this.
How does one proof to the CBP officers that one is headed for say houston/Elpaso when one shows up at Newyork POE.
Also can someone just buy the local flight tickets from say Southwest or Jetblue after clearing with CBP or it is a MUST to
book the local flights from NY to Houston/Elpaso even before leaving Naija..How does one go about this local flight thingy..please
those who have experience in this angle should help clear this grey areas

I am also looking for Pocket friendly tickets to NY for tomorrow..any hints/help will be appreciated

A good way of proving to the CBP officers at New York POE that you are going to Houston is to book Lagos -New York- Houston,so that you already have your ticket and boarding pass to show them that Houston is your final destination when thy ask at New York,. It will also be advisable to have hospital and doctor's correspondence and accommodation booking or a Houston address handy to show.
Yes you can buy a local ticket in New York the morning of your arrival,but that's not a wise thing to do because it will cost you X2 or X3 of what it would have cost you if you had bought it in Naija like 2/3wks before trip.
You can use your Naija ATM/Debit card to buy local ticket from Southwest ,I've tried it and it worked for me.
You can try Wakanow for cheap tickets,but i seriously doubt if you will get any cheap tickets for tonite or tomorrow
