Good day good people of NL.....Thank you for all the info being shared here. As a silent follower, I really appreciate each and everyone....
Like the coming saying, in the spirit of giving back, Let me share my POE experience
I flew emirates on Tuesday and arrived JFK. Flight was long, but there was enough food and drinks
Entertainment was good, on air wifi and I got empty row of seats which I converted to a bed. The hostesses were so nice and kept asking if I wanted anything.
Arrived JFK, did the automated check in and then proceeded to the CBP officer.
Officer: Good afternoon
Me: Goof afternoon. Hands him my passport and the slip from d automated machine
Officer: what are u here for
Me: To have a baby
Officer: is this your first time here
Me: No
Officer: when last did you visit
Me: Dec 2014
Officer : same reason
Me: Yes
Stamps me in for 6 months and that's all. Proceeded to get my bags. No secondary inspection, ...rechecked my bags for my flight to Chicago with Jetblue airlines
Flight was delayed cos there was a bad weather at Chicago....they kept apologizing but gave us water, drinks and $20 meal vouchers. We finally boarded. Flight was good and still got complimentary cookies and water in board. Arrived Chicago safely.
To God be the Glory. Surely we would all have great testimonies in Jesus name. Amen
Wishing everyone a successful journey through all stages, Visa interview, flight, POE, accomodation, hospital, etc. Indeed we would all have a supernatural childbirth process and it will end in Praise. Amen
Thank you.

People of God, una well done. My birthing trip to Chicago is almost set (Infact,totally set In Jesus name), but i still need tremendous assistance.. The ticket i got is to New York. The issue here is, i am having challenges booking a local flight from New York to Chicago. My people, who can guide me on how to go about this? i will be leaving in about two weeks. i believe booking ahead of time will be cheaper because i read somwhere here that Lady Ay, paid over $350 for a trip from New York to Chicago. That's way too much considering the price and how difficult it is to hustle dollars. Helpful suggestions please. my time is running out.... Thanks

you can book on same day you arrive,just tell them you want a cheaper flight.I am presently in Chicago,I came in through new York and I booked the same day for $317 to and fro excluding $70 for my baggage.I told them I want the cheapest.(Delta airline)

Hello Nairaland mamas & papas,

This thread has been so educating,i have tried to read through as much as i can but i still need help. I would be so grateful if someone in-house could help a sister in need.
I am currently 26weeks+ with my second baby, hence due in December and i intend to travel in November, i have a USA visa B1/B2 which i used to give birth to my first baby at Phoneix(Arizona) in August last year. fortunately for me, my visa would not expire until April 2017. This time around i intend to go to Chicago as we have a cousin based there, however, the doctor we intend to use said they do not issue correspondence until they see the preggy in person. and i hear dr A would request for deposit before he can issue any form of standard correspondence (don't know how true it is). Please does anyone know any doctor/hospital that can provide correspondence without asking for an initial deposit?

I have read alot about chicago, so i would most likely use another liberal state as my POE .

Thanks in advance good mamas.

kindly check for Norwegian American hospital,they will give you correspondence and go to Zocdoc in Chicago.

thanks

I am also in Chicago can you please pm me your mobile no although I am still waiting for the arrival of my angel.we can talk on how and where we can get the babies documentations.
Thanks

[quote author=bolijiks post=49474171]The doc I wanna use says dey don't send correspondence or collect money until dey see d Peggy in person. And from what I av read about Dr A of Chicago who could give a correspondence I'll rather stick to my doc. But now correspondence at Poe is what I need. [/quote.

kindly go to Zocdoc,find the doctor and book appointment with him.he will confirm your appointment.That is what I did and it is sufficient with your mail to use at POE. I am present at Chicago as well
thanks

dere5:
I guess you meant $370.17

sorry about that,I just reconfirmed my receipt now it was $317.17 plus $60 for my baggage.

Thank you

Niksie:
wow Congrats Ifemi2016. May God perfect the rest...Amen

i guess you booked your new york to chicago flight same day u got there? was it cheaper than booking in advance ... Please how much was it at that point and i guess it was not a direct flight (non-stop) hence the long journey you said.

.

Niksie,
Thanks and amen for the prayers.
yes,I booked immediately I got to New York. I asked for the cheapest.it was $37.17 to and fro and also paid additional $60 for my luggage( 2 bags) Delta airline.we had a stopover at Detroit again for 2 hours.

Hi to everyone, Good to be part of this great platform. Double thumbs up to whoever came up with this idea as I gained a lot & helped me to prepared for my POE interview. This should be a forum to share ideas and make everyone a better person by stretching helping hands to one another.
I have been a silent reader on this platform since I applied and got my Visa in early April 2016.I was introduced to the platform by my younger brother in may.
I have been trying to register since I arrived Chicago but don't know how to go about it but finally I did.A grateful heart, thank you all.
I wish i could share my whole story but don't want to bored you guys.
I actually got my Visa for Vacation but since I was convinced by people that I could use it for childbirth then I concurred. I have been married for almost 10 years looking for the fruit of the womb.finally I discovered I was pregnant in early March.PLS NOTE THAT MY INITIAL PLAN WAS TO GO FOR VACATION
I sent a mail to the embassy for change of intent.contacted an hospital and a doctor in Chicago which was used by a colleague of mine in the office.
I already booked my ticket in may to Chicago but based on the changed of plan and info received here abt Chicago POE, I had to pay for change of route to New York through Emirate.
I read from part 1 of 0 to this present page 4 which turn to be my daily bible.
POE Transcript,
I arrived New your on 24th August, the crowd was something else.went for the biodata automated machine then straight to the
CBP, he greeted and asked for my passport.
CBP: why are you here, me for childbirth
CBP:how many weeks do you intend spending,me 10 weeks.
CBP: stamped me in till February 2017 and said have a great stay.I left and went back to him and asked him that he could not even asked for the mail I sent to the embassy,my hospital and doctor's correspondence.then he told me to go that he has seen me and know that I am here to give birth,he said what was the response I got wen I sent the mail,immediately I brought out the envelope and he read to me that their it's not illegal to give birth in US as much as I have my money,I now told him that I have $9600 cash and $5400 in my dollar card.then he said don't worry just go.
I was worried although I have been praying and listen to the holy book throughout the journey and commit whoever the cbp Will be to the hands of God and also prepared.
off to Agriculture,my bag was not checked only the filled declaration paper was collected.
I then booked the available flight to Chicago via delta airline but the journey was long.All in all I give glory to the almighty God and all the contributors on naira land where I gain the knowledge from.God bless you all.My Edd is early next month by his grace.PLS NOTE that I have also traveled to Indian and Dubai on same passport which was part of the questions asked by the VO in Nigeria.Sorry for the long post.
