Hello everyone,

I had my last baby in 2018, in Hoston Texas. I already have my 5 year visa and would like to know the latest POE for preggy moms. I used the Houston airport last time and my entry was smooth. Any updates for recent travelers? I may use the Dallas airport this time. But can someone or anyone give recent events on POE for both Dallas and Houston, i would appreciate it.

I am planning on going at 34 weeks at the latest.

MamaOO:
Please has anyone here had success reaching out to the US embassy in ATL? I sent documents for my daughter who doesn’t have a Nigerian passport for Emergency Travel but up till now I have not heard back.

I have called and emailed, no response. Someone told me about visa on arrival but I’m scared the airlines might not board her. We’re flying Qatar airways.

Any pointers will be highly appreciated as I do not want to pay the money twice. Thank you!

Hello Everyone.

Any recent stories of POE for child birth? What should one be aware of?

Hello everyone, please I need advise

I have a US citizen wife that’s pregnant.
I have 7 previous F1 visa denial in Nigeria.
I am currently studying in the UK and my wife also moved to UK with me.
I want her to have the baby in the US and I want to witness our first baby birth and give her moral support too.
Please what is my chance of getting visa approved?

1. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html
Use this link and get the phone number of passport agency. Do this exactly 2 weeks before ur return with baby to Nigeria (make sure ur flight ticket is ready, also baby’s own). If you call earlier, you will be wasting ur time. You will be given a date to come to the passport agency office on that phone call to come process LO’s passport. You will also be sent an email with your appointment details.

2. Go online and look for DS 11 form. Fill it on behalf of LO. Print it out. You will be taking it with u to the passport agency

3. You will need a passport photo for your LO. Taken with white background.

4. You will need LO’s original birth certificate to take with you to the appointment

5. You will need proof of ticket leaving USA within the next 14 days

6. If daddy is not in USA with you, he must fill DS -3053 form in Nigeria, take it to the consulate in Lagos or embassy in Abj and get it signed by notary. He must go with his Nigerian passport as proof of ID. After which he will DHL the original DS 3053 form to u in USA. Expedited dhl delivery should get to you in 3/4 working days. This document is very important to take with you for your appointment.

The link above is where to get an appointment in Nigeria embassy/consulate to go sign the ds 3053 form. (Start looking for date from now pls.. because available dates in Lagos especially are like 1 month ahead. Available dates in ABJ if lucky can be 1/2 weeks ahead. However it must be signed only after LO is born. Because u need info of LO’s DOB. So pick a date few days after your due date if u r still expecting ).
However, if daddy is with you in USA, both of u will just go to the appointment together. No need for ds 3053 form.

When you go for the appointment, if lucky, you can get passport same day (you can appeal to the passport office to pls process yours same day). Or you will b told to come back in 2/3 days time. You will definitely get the passport before your travel date back home.

Hello sis,
Where and how did you go about your LO passport, i am due in few days time and I am in Dallas TX. I just want to know how to go about it so I don’t waste time.

Thank you 🙏

Hello Everyone

Hello mummies.

Please, I just want to confirm again if US is still issuing passport to little ones born there.

Any recent testimonies, kindly share.
Thank you.

Deepeeh:
You need the baby’s date of birth on the DS 3053 form. So the baby must definitely have come. However, you can book an appointment now using a date which is few days after baby’s EDD and hope baby comes within that time frame.

Hello Debbieeee,
Please, at what point do you think hubby can apply for the DS 3053(husband consent) in order to make the process fast. Is it before childbirth or after?

Thank you.

The flight I’m taking will stop at atl first, then proceed to Houston.


If I may ask, any particular reason why you choose your POE to be ATL instead of Houston?

If you are not showing too much, you can wing it. However, If you are, you might want to declare and they will decide if they want to let you in or not.

I am going to Houston at 28 weeks and not showing plus I intend to wear an outfit that will also conceal.
