My people,
Na so I waka enter Houston via Emirates @ 35+ weeks.
Emirates can ask for fit 2 fly o. At every stage, even when I was about to board, they asked and that was way after check in. During the check in, they didn't ask me for my fit to fly until it was my time to check in, they were now wasting my time and made me stand unnecessarily, d lady was going from 1 place to d other asking to be sure if I wasn't past 36 weeks saying my letter didn't state exactly how many days after 35 wks I was. I had the print out from their website and also the one from the hospital. It was the one from my hospital they collected.
My flight with emirates was cool, I had a row of 4 seats to myself so I could lie down. No swollen feet, no compression socks. Nice plane. Food wasn't bad.
Fit to fly was asked for again in dubai
Now to Houton POE, there was a long Q, didn't use wheel chair. When I was in front of d CBP, na so the computer nor gree answer. He now said the ntwk was down. Was there for like 30 mins. Had to lean on something.
CBP: why r u here?
Me: to have my baby
CBP: so you are going to elpaso
Me: yes
CBP: have u had a baby here b4
Me: yes
CBP: just stand behind d counter someone will be with u shortly
Me: ok - I don know say na secondary inspection be that. I prayed
I was there for about 25 minutes b4 I was called.
CBP: y r u here this time around
Me: to have my baby
CBP: how many kids to you have
Me: 2 and the 3rd is on its way
CBP: did you have the other kids here?
Me: my last child. Yes
CBP: how much do u have
Me: 4k - gotten from life saving stanbic ibtc
CBP: but you know 4k can't be enof
Me: yes, I have pre paid some
CBP: can I see your receipts
Me: yes and passes it to him
CBP: ok, i'll get u out of here in a few minutes
Me: thank you
And I was out of there in a few minutes. All d docs I took to my drop box interview was all I took. And it was only the prepayment receipt he checked. I prepaid doc fees for doctoresparati tru stanbic form A and will pay hospital fees this coming wk with the help of my hubby via same means.
I was stamped in till September.
Chilling in houston with my host resting from the loong emirates trip for onward movement to elpaso next week.

Hello all,
It's been a while. So in the spirit of giving back like is said on d thread , I had decided I wasn't going to the US anymore to have my baby because of ds dollar palava & then changed my mind again o at less than 1 month to d proposed travel date - that was cutting it too close o. So I did drop box renewal and submitted on Tues 9th Feb. My initial visa which I used 4 childbirth in 2014 was in my maiden name and d visa expired in 2015. So I was sure I was gonna b called 4 interview. I got a call on Fri 12th Feb to come 4 an interview with a lagos landline on any Monday or Wednesday. I was excited cos @ least, I was called within 1 wk of applying. Mayb cos they saw my proposed travel date was close. So I went yest
V.O : good morning
Me : good morning
V:O: can I av ur passports?
Me: hands them over - old in maiden name & new in marital name
V:O: when was the last time u were in US?
Me: May 2014
V:O: and what did u do there
Me: had my baby
V:O: y r u travelling ds time around?
Me: hoping to have my baby there cos I'm currently preg
V.O: when r u due?
Me: told him
V.O: when do u plan on traveling?
Me: told him
V.O: r u using d same doc?
Me: no
V.O: how did u get ur current doc
Me: online
V.O: how did u get d doc u used b4?
Me: online
V:O: what was d cost to u @ d time?
Me: told him and I have my receipts here - he didn't check
V.O: are you going alone
Me: yes I am
V:O: so ur baby isn't going with u
Me: no, staying behind with my mum
V:O: ur visa has been approved. Pick up in 3 days. Make sure u have enof funds and proof and POE.

@lollarojo, good to know we r due about d same time. Long time. Howz d family doing? I hope ur visa issue gets sorted on time. Me I neva even reapply and my visa also expired in Nov. Make I do come apply sharp sharp o. Might also b goin back 2 Elpaso since I couldn't get further details on where I was eyeing.
@favoredgal, do u think doctoresparati correspondence can pose a problem for someone who has used it b4 4 childbirth? I tot dt could actually give them some credibility in d eyes of d VO when told it was used 4 my last child birth as well.

Well done house, I greet you all. Thank you very much for keeping this thread alive. Na so I waka come back come ds thread as I'm planning another missionary journey. Had my DS in Elpaso but want to explore another place this time. @beryl15, i'd like to get more details from you.Thank you.
