Be patient!!! Your passport is probably in transit to the embassy.

They invited me to the embassy about a month and 4 days after i submitted Dropbox but immediately after the interview the visa came out in 3 days

You know doctoresperati is not the same as del sol hospital (is that the spelling?) if you can get correspondence straight from the hospital better, if you want to use doctoresperati's correspondence up to you. I just gave u the hint cuz I know uv not been on the thread for a while, not sure if uv read back to know the denials that has gone hand in hand with their correspondence

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.

iyoyoworl:
Just a quick question please. Does a baby need to have his eyes opened when taking passport photograph to apply for his US and Nigerian passport. My boy is just 2 weeks old n na for night d guy dey like to shine his eyes.

favoredgal:
Was in ur shoes in October. Write to them for a status update but get ready to be called for an interview at the embassy.

When going get ur receipts from the last birthd together, your dr's correspondence, your budget and your bank account (proof you can afford this baby)

There is absolutely nothing to worry about

P.s dr's correspondence shouldn't be from doctoresperati

nenih: @Nenih, how did u arrange your ticket did u buy for few weeks to open it over there or you bought it for d exact time you wld return im asking cos of poe

@solidhomes, not eaten at 3:30pm Why

Hope you don't wait for them to cook before you eat, hunger will show you pepper o! (lol). Why not try locating the nearest walmart even if it means taking a taxi, buy food stuffs, come back home and cook but cook enough for others to eat. Since your husband is still around he can help you with the shopping.
Abeg my sister dont go on hunger strike.

letilex: hi happy new yr pls which ariline is dat cos i leave in port n im plannin to leave feb or march n pls when buyin ur return ticket wat time interval did u put ie did u give a duration of 2 weeks or wat in between ur to n fro thank u

peacenigeria: I strongly discourage that. My own sister lost her visa that way. When she didnt show up I think Doctoresparati has to report you because of the letter they sent which makes them responsable for you. My sister recieved a call from Immigration while still in the US they were going to deport her because of her arrival times and she couldnt prove that she did not lie since she didnt have plane tickets to El Paso. They did not deport her because of her later stage of pregnancy but her visa was taken and has been denied since. I think her punishment is only for 10 years but she has to ask for a pardon and its not guaranteed she will be pardoned. Do not risk this, its not worth it. Besides, you will see you will get more than your money 's worth at Doctoresparati. Just like they do with the letter which no one else does the same, the whole service is tailored to international patients.

babysykes: please what airline do u intend using and how much?I'm to leave by the beginning of february?

ozzy2: @ lollarojo,
I am due in March but will leave for Elpaso in Feb. I live in abia state and will be leaving from PH. Let keep in touch.

LUBU16: Hi lollarojo,I will be travelling in March. What's up?

Wishing everyone here a happy new year.

firsttimer: Hallos my beautiful people, due to circumstances beyond my control, we are unable to go out today solely because the weather was elele( very cold) but no snow,and I am also happy to let you know that one of us gave birth to beautiful twins (girls) yesterday so next week Friday is the naming ceremony, you are all invited. Intown Suites is in El Paso not Phoenix ooo. One Love

ozycy: is like dis intown suite is really cheap, many pple re der. Is it close to WHMC cos dats d hospital am using?

LUBU16: hello horla,
i have not seen any mail i have not responded to. please resend

Gods goodness: @lollarojo, El Paso is still open for me. Minneapolis came up as a plan B because I have family there and wanted to avoid boredom. If by Tuesday I'm not able to get a good deal, I'll go ahead with El Paso so I can start to plan on time. When do you plan to travel, you could send your contact as a mail so we can plan together.

Gods goodness: Hi every one. I must say well done to every one who has contributed to this thread, great job. I'm due in June, 2014 and after going through the entire thread, Elpaso was my choice and I've even gone ahead to contact them. However, something came up and I have to consider Minneapolis. Pls can anyone help out with links, numbers, names or websites of clinics/doctors/packages in Minneapolis? Thanks in advance and compliments of the season to every one.

inokino: Sorry for d late response, was busy prep to return to Nig.
I went to the USA home office not agent.

COJ1484: Hi guys,
You can send an email to the us consulate either at Abuja or Lagos. Their email address is on their website. Good luck

firsttimer: @lollarojo, the problem with intown suites is that we made a reservation before leaving Nigeria but that reservation didn't work as we had to get another room. My advice is that you should call them 2days before leaving Nigeria to reconfirm your reservation. We used Lufthansa from Abuja to Frankfurt and to Houston and United to El Paso. Lufthansa used the new A380 airbus and we enjoyed every moment in the air. Leaving from Abuja is more expensive compare to leaving from Lagos so everything will depend on your departure point. We were not more than 5blacks from Frankfurt to Houston. I came with wifey and Daughter so our cost may not be useful.
@babababy, thks a lot
@favoured gal, thks
@all, thks for all ur inputs.
@all, I pray everything goes on well with our families in Jesus name.

firsttimer: Hallos my people, we got to EL Paso on thursday and our POE was Houston. We had a smooth entrying as we didnt spend 5minutes with the officer. He asked for our purpose in US and I told him for Xmas, New Year hols and for my Wife to have our baby in US, he asked how much cash, told him, stamped our passports full-stop., no other questions, he didnt even count the money. It was just God cos the guy just started his shift and we were 2nd on the queue. All thanks to God almighty. My wife had her 1st appointment on friday and guess who we saw? Omowunmi. We are staying at Intown suites waiting to host Omowunmi today and Nenih pls get in touch when u r in town. Pls pple, if u r coming to El Paso and you plan to stay at Intown Suites, they close 7pm, we had to stay a night at another hotel and same with Omowunmi so have that in mind cos you may not get here before 7pm. Wishing everyone the very best as we plan to give our children the best opportunity in life. God bless everyone.

nenih: My People,

I got into the US on wednesday via houston. I must confess it wasn't a nice experience at immigration but am so grateful to God. At first inspection, i was asked my purpose for travel. Told the guy I had come to have my baby, he asked a few questions like Doctor's letter, how much I had etc. After this I was moved to a room for secondary inspection.

I waited a while before a lady attended to me. She first of all asked the usual questions like purpose, where do you work, doctor's letter and then surprisingly she asked me to hand over my handbag. Right before me, she poured out the contents of my bag and purse and started going through every sheet of paper in my bag and purse. I really don't know if to say fortunately or unfortunately for me, I find it difficult throwing receipts or small sheets of paper away and so i had in my purse all sorts of receipts especially hospital receipts (my antenatal registration, all the tests i did during antenatal) and also my hospital card and of course all these had dates and description on them. She set aside any sheet that had to do with medical information no matter how small and my ticket and told me to go back to the general room. At that point, I asked her if it was illegal to have a child in the US, she replied that it isnt illegal but it is illegal to lie.

My case was a bit dicey. I wasnt pregnant when i had my interview but i took in shortly after the interview and so it was difficult establishing i wasnt pregnant. I had also gone on the trip for which i got the visa. While i waited in the general room, I overheard her calling united airline asking for my luggages. My luggages were brought in and she asked that i open them, not touching anything in them. So she began searching my bags with her colleague thoroughly for any sheet of paper. Anything relating to medical was set aside including my Scan report, my medical report from my nigerian doctor and also his notes which he allowed me to have a photocopy. And then the calculation started, luckily the photocopied notes i took from my doctor, had my LMP (which was a few days after my interview) and also my EDD. The scan i did at 30wks also had my EDD . My antenatal registration receipt was also far from the date of the interview. All the bits of information she had all added up.

I had about 9000 USD which she saw while searching and asked how much it was. When she was done with her calculation, she asked for my money and counted it. At this point, she tried to explain to me that people come with documents or information which were contradictory. one says one thing and you look here you find another that says a different thing sometimes months apart. But in my case, all the information i had on me had nothing contradictory.

I spent 4 grueling hours at immigration, have promised myself this will be my last time passing through Houston. For people like me who find it difficult throwing sheets of paper away please be careful as you pack. I only realized whilst she searched my purse that i had all sorts of information regarding me in my purse, never in my wildest imagination did i think i would be searched. Most importantly, never underestimate the power of prayers. Will be heading to Elpaso soon, wish all intending travellers God's favour at POE.
