Hi everyone,my POE story.
Came in yesterday to dallas fort Worth via frankfurt
In lagos,i was asked for fit to fly by the lufthanza staff but that's the only place I was asked .
Arriving in dallas, people with b1/b2 visa do automated custom check but if u have food or over 10k( which I did) u will be sent to an officer.
The officer stamped me in for 6 months after asking how long I wanted to say n I said I wanted to give birth.no questions about receipts from previous birth and all.i was quite scared cos last time I came to gv birth I didn't say.
It was all breezy and I think dallas is a very good POE.
Meanwhile is there anyone in dallas to give birth right now? Pls pm me

@chijiuche all is well with you. Our Faithful God will do what He knows how to do best... He is a restorer. Better days ahead.

so hilarious but real! i didnt know i could get from the eateries etc #noted.

Ahhh, queen of Alaroro is back. You guys buy water? Hell no! I walk into any eatery (subway, Chinese restaurants etc) and beg for water, fill up my water bottle, even ask for ice join. Or look for a water fountain and fill up my bottle! Me? Buy water? Yinmu!

Pamperme:
You are very correct with this JFK thing... Even my sister passed through at 37weeks. No qualms
i was 36 weeks when i passed through JFK and the guy even requested i name the child after him if he's a boy. Such splendid people there!

LOL.. so JFK is bae

Honest error how? with peoples hard earned cash??

beautyx5:
Hi,

It was an honest error and not meant to fool anyone. Apologies to everyone that was affected.

Cheers!

@enizo haaa.... what is the guarantee that the visa officer in booth 7 and 8 will be there always? when i had mine i saw a VO leave and after about 15mins a different one replaced her.

Enizo:
LG please na dis is the only family I know if needs be that I relocate to another everybody here has to port with me.
LG trust me when I say this I love this our family I think we should have a physical hangout session. FYI this fam ensured I was prepared for DW POE saga and my visa application. For those using the embassy in abuja try ensuring the VO @ 7 and 8 attend to you they are stressless peeps

Immediately, he said am sending them back.

I don't know what he saw, I don't know what happened, I was moved wheeled forward and he was to scan my mom, then he asked who is bla bla bla... I said I am, he said Oh no! I have made a mistake. He immediately radioed some people and said they should please send a manager to him.

When the manager came, he enquired what the problem was, he said he made a mistake and the manager asked ain't we sending them back. He said No, I made a big mistake.

He re-scanned me and stamped me in 6 months, scanned my mom and my daughter and said Sorry about the mistake. Welcome to America.

My fellow mamas, no document was asked, my purpose wasn't even asked, nothing at all.

The devil stuck out his ugly head but God cut it off.

I am presently in my host''s place. Waiting for my appointment tomorrow with Dr. Ezekiel.

Praise be to God.

Hallelujah.[/quote]Another success story... Thank God!

Now i understand your joy and the joy all over the thread. I had to refresh my memory from previous posts Wow happy for you! congrats to you and wifey!

I said NO, she has 2, i called united 2ce to confirm this and they said she has 2, and if they hadnt said thta i would have paid for 5extra boxes. She just said alright, alright.

Forgive any typos... i am still super jetlagged

welcome home, I can imagine your joy. God bless your Lo.

mrsbw:
All the people that keep asking for referrals to Dr F. If you truly want to use him, why not pay the $300. And if you don't plan to use him, don't you think you'd have spoilt the reputation of the person who referred you, and the person's future referrals might not be worth anything?
My 2 cents..

and I bet you so many use his correspondence just for visa purposes. I feel for Dr F joor.

bbaby84:
Lady G... This one you post this morning I no gree o.
Future readers that want to go and have their babies must have saved enough or earn enough to convince the VO they are capable of settling their bills. It's not by knowing another's salary. Even if they know, would they go to the embassy and say that's what they earn or will they change jobs/quickly get promoted etc. I don't understand this POV my sis. Torchlight am well make I understand.
I don't think salaries should be posted (it doesn't make any difference)and if people want to it's their choice.

on point! That posting of salary can lead to plenty talk here.

another yawn, today is kinda boring...anyway nairaland keeping me occupied till the next .......walks in TGIF

When u've dotted ur T's and crossed ur I's and still get delayed for 4-10 hrs, den dia is cause for alarm. Even Lax takes pple for extensive secondary inspection, and I've also read of the JFK incidences...but Houston and Chicago has always stuck out as sore thumbs...u even narrated ur friend's experience in houston and ur sis in law's experience in Chicago and swore never to step foot in ORD...no one is contesting the fact that the power to let u into their country lies in the hands of the cbps, my question is are d cbp's in Houston working with different laws than others?

I agree I said all that but still it still doesn't change the fact that it's their rules, their country. It's not our right to be there but a privilege . Na we carry our legs go apply for visa. So we play by their rules. And if unavoidably you have to go through those POEs then be ready to take anything you see. Meanwhile IAH was and will be a breeze for some

cutelass:
Overzealous is d word! D CBP officer's in NY, NJ, LAX are nt doing their job?

Their airport, their country, their rules, I guess if one wants to get in then play by the rules. They're just doing their job whether overzealous or not. With God on your side If you have dotted your I's and crossed your T's then no cause for alarm. Mind you the same JFK has occasional issues too. It's been reported on this thread.

[b]Answer the question![/b]

MamaOO:
Thanks. My pregnancy is young but it will be full term. In Sha Allah. I see no correlation betwee how far along I am and the matter we all talked about. You be winsh? Abeg oo.

haba ladies what is all this? Pls drop your boxing gloves. If una no like una self keep it to yourselves, not here. Stop misconstruing every word typed here. Just take it as it comes. She said pregnancy is young that you will need the energy later that is to push etc. wetin carry witch enter here now? ejoor ooooo.....biko nu.... women!!!!!

mitchyy:
Thanks dear. My issue is that dh didn't take my initial complaints serious. Ever since ms stopped and i became strong, he just assumes i'm back to my old workaholic self and the worst is over. I complained of this pain to him after i overworked myself the day before and he said its good, its all part of exercise which a pregnant woman should do. He's still sleeping now and has left me to make breakfast by myself this morning despite the painful contractions

Mitchyy!!!!!!!! no make me vex o! better apply wisdom here. breakfast ko breakfast ni! There is no award for strong women o! but there is an award after you have your baby/babies. Yesterday i got news that some1 i know lost her baby she had cerclage done about 2 weeks ago and the doctor recommended total bed rest in the hospital but her hubby insisted on taking her home for the "bed rest". lo and behold she started bleeding and went back to the hospital after all said and done she lost that baby. she was in her 2nd trimester. The stress of climbing staircase and moving up and down at home contributed to the loss. I'm really gutted for her. So please mitchyy apply wisdom and glue your body to your bed! Infact you don't need to tell dh anything your body language alone will do the talking. after having your baby you can resume your strong wife duties.

Amy20:
It's really sad to know that people actually liked this comment. Anyway this is a faceless forum so anything goes. But we should also know that before we became gurus we also sought for help one way or the other. You didn't wake up a genius or did you? SMH

madam nope I am not a genius and I didn't pester anyone. All I did was read. I didn't come out claiming to have read either.

Nasadiva:
I have loads of IGNORE button to share incase you are in need of one or two @FTM what happened to d one I gave u last time?

hmm it's high time I took one too. It's just that at times its hard sha. lemme go back to reading and waiting mode

Meanwhile, since no one has ever used Alaska on this thread, it seems like i would be the first one.. make una pray for me o.... I would definitely give a full download of what i find out eventually... May God guide us till then
Who knows may be Alaska will be the new Houston lol... In the meantime, DOES ANYONE (newbie or oldie) KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HAVING A BABY IN ALASKA? searched all three threads, asked this question on here severally.. no positive response. I just thought to ask ONE LAST TIME .. mwuah

lol whenever I hear alaska I freeze. I haven't heard of anyone that birthed in alaska here sha. But i think a mama mentioned something about it a few pages back Can't remember her name. Both of you can work together.
