Please who knows about flying back with my baby on delta? A rep from delta nigeria says I should ensure i book a return ticket for the baby since she is travelling back with a visa. However when i called to book the ticket they said a babys ticket cant b issued without an adults ticket. And i have just a one way ticket to naija left.

Has anyone had this experience wit delta. Just dont want any surprises at d airport if i buy the one way ticket for my baby.

Plus i am getting a quotation of about $450 for the baby's one way ticket.

You could check san marcos. its about an hr from san antonio. still in the process tho. so cant give an overall breakdown but its not bn bad. cos staying with family(reasonable ones) is the best.

Morning @jessemama. No I don't plan to move. I've got family in San Antonio so I'm staying there. Plan on getting an apartment close to my edd day. Sumtn near HNWM. Then I'll return back to San Antonio afterwards...its better for me. Cos from my research, San Antonio hospitals are wayyyyy to high and above my budget

@esosawura
if you are in san antonio, why do you want to go all the way to HNWM. its quite a distance or do you plan moving closer?

Esosawura:
Good morning mamas. In the spirit of giving back @my Poe experience
I flew Turkish airline on Sunday. My fit to fly was accepted so I wasn't sent to port health.
Our flight got delayed when we arrived at instanbul so they just gave us free meal tickets at the airport.
We arrive jfk on Monday
I used the self service thing machine to scan my passport then I proceeded to the cbp officer (the queue was quite long but moved fast)
Cbp officer:Good evening can I have your passport please
Me: evening sir. And I gave him my passport
Cbp : are you hear to have your baby
Me :yes I am
Cbp: do you have a dr
Me:yes I do. And I have all the corespondence. I was about bringing it out for him to see the he said don't worry and then stamped me in and said welcome to America.
That was it. Nothing was checked. I proceeded to the immigration officer. She requested for the print out that was stamped. Collected it and said I can go. I was the one that asked her about the form they gave us to fill in d plane ( d immigration form where you declare what you have on you) she said no need. And that was it o. I wasn't even directed to agriculture...
I was surprised o but thankful to God. I'm now chilling in San Antonio with my aunty. Will be using HNWM. I'll surely come and say my experience afterwards. Thanks to all the mamas and papas in this forum for all the helpful hints that made me prepared for this trip. God bless

@fatima04. congrats on d arrival of your baby.
1. If the agreement shows the original amount and the discount you were given, i think its fine(if the balance to pay then agrees with the receipts of payment u have)
2. I put 4 zeros. and no you don't need to update the form when the SSN comes. except you have not submitted your application for the US passport when you receive the SSN. I had gotten the US passport before i received the SSN

I just got to the US last week. waiting for the baby nytime now. dont be scared. it is either a NO or YES. Be positive and be ready to answer all questions the best you can. since u are on this thread i assume you have all the necessary documents(dr correspondence, hospital , statement of account and all).

Amiableada:
wow! did you end up having your baby there? i am almost giving up cos i thot if i do the drop box i wil just be issued a visa. wasnt expecting this atall. had my son there and paid all my bills with receipts. now going to face those white heads with my big tummy. i am worried.

Please i need a clarification, has the qualification for using the dropbox for visa renewal changed? i read earlier that one could still use dropbox if your visa expired not more than 4 years. Is this still the position?

thanks

Just to encourage anyone who needs this right nw and in the spirit of giving back. i read through from part 1 to part 5 of this thread although i had obtained a visiting visa, travelled, decided to have my baby and then returned before i got to know of the thread.

fast forward 4yrs later wanted to go deliver my 2nd baby n i decided to do it right from the beginning by applying for a b2 visa with all i heard learnt frm here(budget sheet, dr and hospital correspondence e.t.c)

i applied via dropbox and got called for an interview. to cut the long story i was denied 3times(back to back) tried to apply for a canadian visa and was denied twice(total denial of 5 times in 3 months)

Decided to try one more time and i got my US visa approved the 4TH TIME.

well thats my story. thought i should share(not so good at writing however questions are welcome)

@fatima04. I intend using a hospital in Austin too. Bn doin sm slight research tho. we can continue together. sent you a mail.

fatima04:
Hello house. Happy elections ko! God dey. Pls has anybody used Austin Texas for birthing or has experinece with the location.

Have searched and call taya but just being re directed all day with no concrete information.

Any suggestion or assistance would help. Thanks
