You can buy indomie onions; they normally seize indomie chicken

Thank you, we got onions

LadyGuinivere:
I believe sme mamas here hav gone with uup to a carton. Tthe chicken is the issue. Any meat /fish flavour is usuallly siezed. Why dontt u just get her a carton with no meat flavour? That may mean getting a different brand from indomie. No stress that woman o!

Lol, thank you, i dont want to stress her o, they will get onions

It depends on the Poe ...I came in with 2 cartons of indomie ONIONS and scaled thru. I know of someone that came in thru Etihad (Abu Dhabi) Poe and all was seized. So my dear it depends on the Poe and they don't like anything chicken ...just do Onions.

Thanks biollar1, I have told them to buy Onion

Please can anyone confirm if 1 carton of indomie noodles will pose a challenge for my mum at POE, I brought a carton which I declared and it was scanned but not seized. However, my SIL told her it's not allowed, from her own experience because it has chicken....mom is worried as she leaves tomorrow night, I also don't want anything that'll stress her at POE.. Any specific rules guiding this?

I thank God she is active not weak.

Congrats! I pray for speedy recovery for you both, God who brought her out alive will keep her. I think your hospital should be cheaper BUT my friend's baby in a Maryland NICU hospital cost them $2700 per day asides drugs et al, she was self pay and this was 2014.

Geez!! Filled my family details in there because I thought that slot was for where I'd be staying or so! I'm gonna stay with my sister and her family
Please what do I do I already filled,submitted and booked appointment!

I did same although dropbox renewal plus medical too, I don't think it should be a problem.
I also left organisation blank.

Hello, I have a question. About Fit to Fly, must it be from a government hospital? Do they accept Fit to Fly from private hospital? I intend using Lufthansa/United and am travelling from abuja.

I used a private hospital and it was accepted; flew Air France though

It's my first time posting on NL, not sure if I'm doing that correctly but hopefully so. In the spirit of giving back , here's my story:

I first want to thank everyone for the info here, it's helped me since I started following in Feb although as a guest. I had a regular B1/B2 visa, needed to renew in March via dropbox as I was preggy, so I chose medical after reading some stories here, i did not want to misrepresent at all . By God's favour it was ready in 4 days, no interview required.

Started my hospital search earlier so had doctor and hospital info, but they won't accept wire transfer or even give an estimated bill we can process form A with, frustrated with that at the moment....
Booked my ticket with Air france to Newark, New Jersey, and armed with 'burden of proof' as I have read here, I asked God for favour. I arrived Newark on April 28th and was waiting on the regular queue when the last few passengers were moved to the other side where US nationals are. I had approximately 8k cash as I got 4k PTA from UBA and some other cash in lieu of mom's PTA when she's coming. Also had money on my card and had my brother's BOA card with about $3k
Here's what transpired when I was called:

Me: Hello
Cbp: Hello how are you doing?
Me: good
Cbp: (takes passport and asks me to put my 4 fingers) what are you here for
Me: to have my baby
Cbp laughs and asks me to take look in the camera), how long are you here for?
Me: can i smile at the camera? 11 weeks
Cbp: ( laughs)if you want to , oh then after birth, you're staying back how long
Me: that's included in the 11 weeks as I have to resume back to work, and I have just 3 months mat leave
Cbp: Ok, let me just confirm from secondary inspection if they need you to sign anything, (tries to get their ext from colleagues but noone had it so he leaves his cubicle), comes back in abt 2 mins and rings them up.
At this point when I heard secondary inspection I'm like oh no! but because i also had the 'burden of proof', I wasn't so bothered about it. I'm like whatever!
Cbp: (while on the phone with secondary inspection) are you paying?
Me: Yes
Cbp: ( still on the phone) do you have anything to prove this
Me: Yes
Cbp: (drops the phone) ok let me see the proof
Me: (started to bring out the documents and the first I saw was the anesthesia details as sent to me by the doctors office, and hand it over to him), that's from the doctors office
Cbp: is that from the doctor here
Me:yes, (and I was about to show other documents from the doctor, although really I did not have any proof asides the cash with me, since I had not made any payment)
Cbp: not to worry, this is fine, enjoy your stay
Stamps me in for 6 months
Me :thank you!

Off to agriculture, I declared I had food, so was asked what I had, told them noodles, lentils, he asks what type of noodles, is it Maggi said I'm not sure, (really don't know what I bought and dint want to look like I lied if that's what they meant, ) but they can check it. He said what of ogbonna, egusi, gala, suya, I just burst into laughter, and he was laughing too, I said how did you know naija food, he said that's what people bring in, I'm like I don't eat them so dint bring them, I love fruits and veg and you have them in abundance here so no need!
He's like ok let's see your noodles, which of the bags, said im not sure which of them, and he said we'll pass the bags through the machine, and they did, nothing was seized.
It wasn't until I got home I remembered I even had Maggi for my hosts ooo.
