I gave her full transcript on this thread about 2 yrs back. Check part 3.

Sorry can't re-type it

shrekandfiona:

I know of a family friend that went thru worst at Chicago's POE. She even gave birth prematurely on arrival back to Naija. She has not yet recovered from the shock

The worst part was she was a frequent US traveller and she went with her hubby n kids. They were all sent back

diranseun:
Good day. Pls I need your advice on my issue. Had a successful interview in June and after that we realized wife was 10 weeks pregnant. (we were not sure because of some pills she used which the doctor said could affect her monthly period. This is our first issue after 5 years of coming together). The issue now is that the visa is tourist visa and no question about pregnancy was asked during interview. We have the plan of giving birth in US and how due date is November. How do you think we can go about it to avoid being turned back. Also, we plan to stay in an hotel in Houston. Please your candid advise would be appreciated.

freshdad:
My sister flew with them and her husband did last week friday, I dont know what issues your are expecting but none was witnessed. The usual thing is getting questioned (by a US official-someone like a CBP) at doha before you board your US bound flight.

as per layover, I do not know. You may need to contact their customer service on that

It all depend on how informed all involved are. Citizenship defers from country to country. For Citizenship in Nigeria, we have by birth, registration and naturalization. Many mistake citizen by birth to being born in Nigeria. Meanwhile, the constitution state as follows: "Every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria; Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria. Every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and Every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria" section 25
From the stated, No banker should ask for a made in Nigerian BC, and if you must get one it should be clearly stated that the child was born in a foreign land.

My question for those who has gotten a Nigerian passport for their Yankee LO, What is stated as the place of birth?

The Nigerian passport for my daughter has USA as place of birth.

Hello house, pls I'm in a fix now and I need some clarification. my hubby and I got a visa for vacation in February, we really wanted to go for vacation then but due to the dollar scarcity, we shifted it. mid March, I was confirmed pregnant. mind u, I wasn't asked if I was pregnant during our interview and neither did I know I was pregnant den. now, I'm 3 months gone.
The issue now is my hubby and I planned going for the vacation next month (may) den I can go for childbirth later but I was told today at my office that I can't take my annual and maternity leave together in a year.
So now, I don't know what to do. can I go for childbirth later with a letter of intent since I wasn't asked if pregnant then? what are the options available for me now as I'm really confused. gurus in the house, over to u.

Shawbabe:
Una no go hear. Quit going to agents like wakanow to buy your tickets. YOU CAN CONTACT THE AIRLINE DIRECTLY. It is at least 10K cheaper.
These agents put their own fees in top the ticket then give you hassle when you try to change dates or amend your reservation. I don't understand how an intelligent person that can use phone and internet will be going totravel agent to book ticket?? Anyway una get money to be dashing them

@salsera
Okay, i see where u are coming from. Been totally honest but from vo point of view, can see y it was seen as misrepresentation. I actually didnt know i was pregnant at 2nd interview as i was still on exclusive breastfeeding for my first baby. Told them that at poe and 3rd interview. Nevertheless would still reapply and put all details. Hopefully i get it else would go for vacation in some other country with less stress, and reapply childbirth when eventually pregnant. But if i get it by God's grace would definitely go for vacation(s), and if i get preggy during visa validity would be sure to write a letter of intent.

@firsttymum
When u say honest do u mean for vacations and to have a baby if i get pregnant within visa validity?
Pls can u direct me to where i can find the similar stories to mine.

Suggestions are still welcomed.
Thanks to those that responded. Cheers.

Hello All,

My friend needs advice. When he applied for US Visa for vacation with his wife, she was asked if she was pregnant and she said No (she was) but that's because they intended having their baby in Canada and they were advised to say 'No' so as not to be denied the US visa. Well they got the US visa but the Can plans didn't work out.

Now the thing is they want to have their baby in the US. I know their not declaring pregnancy has really hampered their chance of a smooth entry into the US for delivery but how can they rectify this. Can anyone help with advice?

They haven't gone on their vacation yet, they decided to push it to closer to her delivery time (to save money sorta) but the flight prices hike and scarcity of dollars have made them cancel vacation entirely and focus on just having a baby in the US. That means his wife will be travelling alone (through JFK POE) and hubby will be joining much later, when the baby arrives.

Should they write to the Embassy saying they want to have their child in the US (even though they didn't declare pregnancy and they haven't gone on the vacation yet?) I'm thinking they might cancel their Visas entirely, is that possible?

Better still, do they wait till she gets to the POE then say there that she is in the US for vacation and Childbirth?

I know y'all are gonna scold the lying part but abeg offer solution too! They want to straighten things out! Thanks!

P:S they didn't know about this Nairaland forum until the damage!

The fight was ok... I liked it cos it was cheap, on-time, hostesses courteous and plenty empty seats to rest well. they have like 5 programmed movies for inflight entertainment so not great. You can get movies on your tablet. I didn't even have time for that one thanks to my small madam. They give African food on board, efo riro,edikinkan, jollof etc. And then snacks later. They land in gatwick so you won't experience the craziness of heathrow when you want to do VAT refunds on your departure cos no crowd at all. I was the only one when I did mine. Hope this helps.
