Congrats...are u sure 10 weeks will be enough for u?

Chicagomum:
Koi koi... is the drama over? Turns left and right seems so grin

Back to the koko

My POE story

Traveled with KLM at 35 weeks + no fitness to fly was asked. Requested for wheel chair thinking it would save me at ORD.. lol.. though it fast tracked my meeting with CBP.

CBP : Are you here alone
Me: Yes
CBP: Scanned my fingers and took my picture. How long are you staying?
Me: 9 weeks
CBP: Can i see your return ticket. Handed it over to her. What will you be doing here for 9 weeks?
Me: Vacation and Child birth.
CBP: Where do you work?
Me: xxxx
CBP: How do you intend to pay your bills? How much do you have. I want the exact figure
Me: $7500 and I have my card.
CBP: Please come with me. She took me to the secondary inspection unit.

There were so many people there should be about 50 people or more. I knew i was in for a long thing.
I sat for 1 hrs, 2hrs, 3hrs! At a point i was like what is happening here? People that came after me were cleared and they left me there. I went to meet one of the officers and he told me they group the cases based on severity. That those that came after me and have been cleared had minor cases. In my mind I was like I don enteram o shocked. I went back to my sit. After about 15 mins I went to meet another officer and he asked if I was Nigerian I said yes. He said he saw my passport that it would soon be my turn. By this time i was already feeling dizzy cos my blood sugar had plummeted. Finally after about another 20 mins an officer called me. He was like you stated you will be staying for 9 weeks; We stamped you in for 10 weeks. They didnt request for any document ooo... No form of interview. I was likehuh? In my mind why in the name of God was I kept here for close to 4 hrs! Anyways I just got up from the wheel chair didnt even wait for them to get someone to push me and left.

Went to the exit submitted my declaration form as I was about to go the Customs guy noticed I was pregnant. He said Madam please step back. My eyes nearly poped out of my socket.
CBP: Did you inform the embassy about your pregnancy
Me: Yes. Do you want to see it?
CBP: Yes
Me: Handed over the change of intent mail to him
CBP: How much do you have
Me: Cash 7500 card: ×××
CBP: Madam please come with me
Me: Really pissed now. I told him i had spent close to 4 hrs at d secondary inspection unit and they released me so what does he want
CBP: Please come with me this would be very short. Can I have your passport.
Me: Gave him my passport and he handed it over to another officer. The officer scanned it and recorded something and gave it back to me and told me I was free to go.


Na so my waka be o. Had already bought my ticket before i discovered this thread. Will not go through Ohare in a very long time abeg. While i was waiting they sent 3 people to their cell awaiting deportation. One was unfortunately a Nigerian guy. 2 guys and a lady. The lady was not pregnant.

Intending pregnant travelers should note that once you are pregnant and you tell them you would in most cases automatically be directed to secondary inspection unit in ORD

Just excited I made it down here against so many odds. Make una help me shout 3 halleluyahs grin grin grin

Thanks

ozycy:
Let me interrupt the debate once again. For oakbend peeps, while paying for brown and associates bill for mother and child, ask for discount. Even though the bill is usually small, less than $150 most times, der is discount for self pay. I was given $113.50 for mother and child bill but I asked for discount and ended up paying $67.50. Firsttymum I know this info will be so so useful to you grin. This is the number I called 713 559 6929. Oya munch it asap lol.

Goodmorning evone,I got to houston yesterday 6th of October,my POE experience was fantastic.I spent less Dan 2 mins win the guy that questioned mi.he only asked mi for wre I intended to stay nd wen I told him the hotel name I already booked, he told mi it's cheaper to get an apartment.

he asked if my hubby will come to join mi later but i told him no because he is a businessman nd he is very busy.
last question was how much do i av nd i told him den he was like childbirth is usually between 6-8k .
He told mi to av a pleasant stay and name my child after him.
