I flew British Airways from Abuja on 14th April to Philadelphia with just $500 and a print out of my bank statements plus DH‘s own. Vain pursuit of PTA in 3 different banks is a story for another day. With a 3hrs stop over at Heathrow; i got to Philly by 8:20pm local time.
CBP: Why are you in the USA?
Me: For childbirth.
CBP: Are you pregnant?
Me : Can you give birth without pregnancy?
CBP: oh sorry, your tommy is not showing.
(sincerely i could hide it if i wanted to even at my 34 weeks)
He put my passport in a pink transparent folder and directed me for secondary inspection. Maybe because of the time i met no non immigrant there so i had no need to wait.

After about 3 minutes, he called me and gave me my documents with the passport stamped for 6 months.

I saw my doc on Friday, and waiting for my next appointment by next week.
