Hallo People! Reporting live from Maryland
Journey was quite smooth.... Was able to get only 4K PTA from standard chartered (mums application was not successful) so we are working on using form A to pay hospital bills. Please people that have done this should confirm if someone I.e my husband can process this on my behalf??
Anyhoo... I travelled with Lufthansa/united to Washington Dulles. The Lufthansa leg was esp nice. Fit to fly was asked for at NAA but customs and every1 else was nice. Booked for a wheelchair for my mum and I @ Frankfurt (this was an absolute life saver) As people have said here in the past, the distance btw departure and our gate is quite far oh Do yourself a favor and make sure you book for wheelchair services if you are transiting tru Frankfurt.
The United leg was ok but the plane was old and somehow jor .... Even infant seat belt they did not have My only consolation is the 23kg boxes il have with my infants on the way back.... They better not fall my hand oh!
POE was a breeze... The CBP:Hello. Passports please. What are you here for?
Me: Hello. I'm here for medical purposes. I'm having a baby.
CBP: I'm sure you know what next I'm going to ask you
Me: Smiles and say I can guess but I'm not sure
CBP: you were here in 2014 to have this baby (points at my son), how did you pay?
Me: With cash and cards.
CBP: Do you have receipts to prove this?
Me: yes and bring out my receipts
CBP: starts smiling and says I love this. Did you take any assistance of any kind?
Me: No.
CBP: Just so you know it's not illegal to have your baby in the US, what's illegal is not paying coz then tax payers like me have to bear the bill. Do you know the procedure if you have a complication and have to extend your stay?
Me: No ( I no wan expose us for here )
CBP: it's very easy, even google can explain it. What do you do?
Me: blah blah blah
CBP: I can tell you have a good job, you are very well spoken. (for my mind I'm like you never jam naija folks then)
CBP: For the next few years, please always travel with your receipts so we can make a determination here and not have to send you to sec inspection where they might waste up to an hour of your time. Do you have food?
Me: yes but not the type listed on the form.
CBP: ok put your fingers.... Have a nice day ( I travelled with my mom and toddler)
We were almost home free in less than 10 mins until the devil wanted to try himself in the form of one cute dog that just came and pounced on our carry on luggage. Dats how they flagged us and sent us for agric inspection... Fortunately for us when they started interrogating us on what we had in the bags we remembered that we had apples and that apparently was what triggered the dog. They trashed the apples, asked us if we have yams? No. Cocoyams ? No. Fish? Yes but it's dried. (all this while they were scanning our bags) so my mama no gree lie
That's how they cleared us and said have a nice day too without searching our bags. Whew! Can't tell y'all how much I prayed to not go to sec inspection and to not have our bags searched coz we carried all sorts.... Palmoil, spices, dried vegetables, even ogili/dadawa Godwin oh!!
All in all i bless God. Now chilling and waiting to see the doc next week. Washington Dulles POE is bae in my opinion.
@Dtone and Babymandy I've sent you guys PM's. Respond Biko and holla @ ya girl. I wish everyone else traveling soon, a stress less, favored journey.
We shall all deliver like the Hebrew women IJN, Amen! Cheers.

@ Mamatukwas, Congrats.
i wish all mamas safe trip IJN

Harjeehbaday:
Good afternoon NLs, I need your advice.

I got my B1/B2 US visa in Dec 2012 but didn't use it till Nov last year when I went to give birth in the US. I paid all my fees and have receipts for all payments.

My visa is expiring this dec and I have applied with my hubby and 2 year old son using the dropbox submission. My hubby received a call today that we should come for interview any Monday or Wednesday by 1200noon. We intend going on the 15th or 17th since we are not based in Lagos. We have submitted the confirmation form and dropbox form already at the DHL office.

What documents do we need to go along with?

Good morning everyone,

My family went for the interview on Wednesday and we were asked to come collect our passport with visa today.

Pls keep all your payment receipts well ooo and make sure you get your zero balance letters (from doctor, hospital etc) because you will need them when you reapply for visa.

Thanks to everyone who supported us. I will provide update of the interview session later.

Harjeehbaday:

Thanks AngelicBola83


Thanks GenoMI

Any other advice is welcomed!!!

I intend going to the embassy on Wednesday for the interview. I sent a mail to them but am yet to receive a response from them. I just pray everything goes well.

I will update the house when I return.

Good night

AngelicBola83:
@Herjeehbadey I would advise you go along with all your receipts. If the receipts do not show details of all payments, mail your service providers to send it to you asap. You also need to be confident at the point of interview. A friend had the same case as yours and had to attend their interview twice, before she was granted a visa.

Thanks AngelicBola83

GenoMI:
@Harjeehbaday Ok. Maybe they want to confirm that you paid all your bills when you had your baby. All the best.

Thanks GenoMI

Any other advice is welcomed!!!

GenoMI:
@Harjeehbaday I wonder why they have called you in for an interview. Is your hubby also eligible for dropbox i.e. does he have a B1/B2 visa that he is also renewing? Or is he a fresh applicant?

@GenoMI,

He had a B1/B2 visa that expired in March.

motorola77: @ imadebaby and every one, how are you all? To God be the glory i arrived marryland last night safely, although had issues and was interrogated for like one hour but eventually i was granted 6mths stay and was seriously warned to make sure i bring my receipt of hospital pay and other docs dt will show I'm not owing when next im visiting if not i will be send back from the airport.

@Motorola77,
Congrats on your entry, wishing you safe delivery.

Where was your point of entry and what was their reason for keeping you for that long...?

Are you still going to Phoenix?

I will be traveling next week and my point of entry is Atlanta.

Just want to know what to prepare for.. Am feeling Very nervous already..

Babababy: Good morning beautiful people,some good news from my end. My wife put to bed on Thursday 0605 eastern,it's a girl !! Mother and daughter are doing great (natural birth).
They were discharged yesterday Saturday,after two nights at the hospital. The hospital is the same one wckykoff heights medical center , we signed a contract during registration and deposited $5000 ,we were giving a total bill of $6500.

The package included,all the pregnancy test ,two scans,delivery and two days hospital stay.she had a total of 6 antenatal visits,and we paid $50 per visit cash. So technically we have a balance of $1500 to pay, but we were told the account woman wasn't on duty Saturday,so we a expect a bill Monday.

My wife was pretty much happy with the medical attention she got. Let me know if any more details is needed from me. As for me,I will join the mid November, work is just unforgiving at the moment,and I have to hold all my excitement down.

Adeeva: @babababy nice one and congrats
Sorry I ve not bn in touch,series of events came up. My wife got a family Dr through her aunt in Maryland who because of the relationship he waved his doctors fees ( he is a well renowned Dr in Maryland- waived $3000 ) so we settled for southern maryland hospital
Our baby girl came via CS on the 21st October and every1 is doing well including me.
My wife stayed 2 days at the hospital and our fees now is just about $6500 but we stil I await the lab fees.
All in all am sure we wnt spend up to $8000.
I am totally grateful to the Doctor I guess we are just so lucky, we already have her birth certificate ,social security number and we will start the process for both the NAIja and US passport on Tuesday.
I am her till the 17th but they will be back home by the end of the month

@ Babababy & Adeeva

Congrats to you both. I pray we all have the same good stories in our own time.

Happy new Week....

Happy New Month everyone......

Anyone traveling to Houston this month?

salawu5: Hello Everyone,

Stories about Houston is kind of scary but all in all i have made up my mind that i will travel with my wife Via the same POE and i have being doing some research to the extent that i placed a call across to the US Border and Custom at Houston to seek clarification and also had a chat with US Lagos Consular office making it clear that my wife posses a B1/B2 Visa which was issued to her while she was not pregnant and i was advised not to re apply for another class of Visa as her entrance will be determined based on the below link.

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882

@salawu5,
Good work, guess we have to start thinking of how to convince or confuse the CBP officer at POE...

God will help us.....
