 Madam. You don't ve to worry. I got same reply from Lagos. And It is true that homeland security at POE Will determine ur eligibility to enter into d USA, ur visa only allows ur to get on a plane to d united states.

[quote author=kizluv post=29994828]Please where can I get compression socks in Abuja,

madam, when do u need it or when are u traveling?

[quote author=Virtuousdiva post=29977567][/quote]Pls I agree with u, over rated or not, there is no harm in trying, it does not take more than 2minutes to type and send a letter. Just to be on the safe side. Some officers wont ask for any document and some will ask for a head. It does not cost much to have all even those that u feel are not necessary but it cost a lot not to have a single document that is requested. it may cost u a return ticket, ur time (put into research and preparation) etc. My opinion pls.

Hi. Family.

People traveling in June to July can check emirate.

Hello all, I had my baby on the 1st of jan but I didn't inform the embassy dat I was going to give birth in america cos I already had my visa b4 I got pregnant.
My tummy wasn't big when I came in dec and I didn't have any challenge at POE. The guy didn't even know I was preg and I just told him I was here for vacation.
I hope there won't be any issue when I want to renew my visa

Hi.

Larondoo22:
pls which email did you use to contact them

Abuja - consularabuja@state.gov

[quote author=bj2012golf post=29639605]Hi

No. I did draw box with my family and I was nt pregnant as at that time but knew I would be pregnant and ve a baby b4 another renewal.

Gracydee:
where did you get your visa? Abuja or Lagos.

mean Lagos response

Thank you for your email.

Your B-class visa does not entitle you to entrance to the United States—it simply entitles you to arrive at a port-of-entry to the United States and apply for admission to an officer of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unit on duty there. The Customs and Border Protection, a branch of USCIS, determines a traveler’s eligibility of entry to the U.S, you should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking medical treatment and that you have logistical and financial plans for the treatment.

We recommend that you review the regulations on non-immigrant aliens entering the United States for purposes of childbirth at http://redirect.state.sbu/?url=https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882/~/visit-the-u.s.-while-pregnant-and-the-risks-involved and plan accordingly. Please you should not stay in the U.S. longer than you are permitted by Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

If you choose to give birth in the U.S., we advise you to bring evidence of payment, both when you enter the U.S. on this visit, and at your future U.S. visa interviews.



Abuja's

Dear Madam,


Thank you for your inquiry. Before you travel to the United States to have a child you should make the appropriate preparations, including an appointment with a healthcare provider, detailed information about where you will receive your medical services, and an estimate of the financial costs. Immigration officials may ask for this information upon your arrival. Healthcare in the United States is expensive. Costs associated with child birth are high and can escalate quickly if there are complications. You are expected to pay all costs associated with the medical services received. Retain an itemized statement of account from your healthcare provider that outlines all of the charges from your care and receipt of your payment.

We hope this information is helpful to you. Congratulations to you and your family.

Best Regards,

Consular Section


This email is UNCLASSIFIED.

I will print that of Abuja and use at the point of entry.
