@shawbabe, thanks a lot, the N5m is from me her hubby, I run a business in naija and I run a business in the uk as well. Her spouse visa is a biometric card and not a visa stamp on the passport so she has just one new naija passport without any visa on it. (we just filed for a missing passport and got a new one at the passport office)

This is coming in late but thought to give back to the forum from which I drew loads of information and inspiration.
I flew Emirates at 32weeks plus , from check in till I got off the aircraft the treatment was fantastic,I requested a wheel chair after they had requested for my fit to fly letter and certificate from port health... Was wheeled into the aircraft first, settled in,was given a pillow to support my tummy,tucked in and belted up by the flight attendant... The other people on the seats beside me came but they were given other seats ,so I had 3seats to myself,tons of pillows & all, when I got tired I gently lifted all d arm rests and formed a bed....In Dubai was taken to their lounge to stretch till it was time for my flight...same treatment all the way...got to Boston and here's my experience
CBP: hi
Me: Hello
CBP: why are you here
Me: shopping and to have my first Baby
CBP:say that again
Me: To have my baby
CBP:why would you come to have your baby in the US
Me:I thought to spare no expense in seeking superior medical attention because this is my first child
cBP:How much do you have
Me:approx 9400usd
CBP: is that what you intend to pay your bills with
Me: For starters yes, I also have some more money in my Debit card reserved for this purpose
CBP:Mam you are going to have to step aside, I will get someone to be with you
Me: Not a problem.. Then the wait began, at this point I rolled out my arsenal and was waiting patiently eventually some other officer came to get me and directed me to their "inner room" saw some other people there...waited till I was called, and the guy asked me same questions this time I passed the documents to him then graciously gave him a response, after I had passed like 4 different ones he had to ask what I had in the envelope I told him supporting docs and photocopies, he requested for it then I handed it,when e see burden of proof e self know..I had my payslips,letter of consent from my husband, with his work Ias and complimentary card attached, passport data page,his visa page,wedding photo,marriage cert,letter of appointment with MIHS,Maternity Package Agreeement document,chat with Telegate Americas and email from US embassy informing them of my intention,Accomodation reservation...
CBP:is your husband coming too ,
Me:Yes in Feburary when the Baby is expected
CBP :how long will he stay
Me:2weeks, he would not be able to stay longer because of work pressures
cBP:where are you going to be staying, When would you be headed to phoenix
Me:today, I have a connecting flight out of Boston by 5pm
(After that he looked and read through all the Docs.he had in his hands. he asked where do I work told him,and then I asked would you like to see my work ID? He said no.. )
CBP: what foodstuffs do you have, you have grains I answered yes Beans dry and powdered beans,deboned dry fish and spices.
CBP: As you have been told by the department of states you are not doing anything wrong just ensure your bills are all paid and have your receipts on you next time.
Me: will do , Thank you very much
