greatie: You're very correct. He also said they have more experienced nurses @ methodist. But note that if you must use methodist, it is compulsory you pay $1500 for epidural before you'll be registered. Your money will be refunded if you don't use it. 2 Likes |

Read my post. I'm currently in the U.S. My Visa will expire in July and I came In just last week through 'almighty Houston'. As long as your visa is still valid, you'll be stamped in for 6months. It u're not comfortable, u can go for renewal. All d best estasplash: 2 Likes |

So here's my transcript (I hope it doesn't wipe off again) Left naija on Thursday, flew Emirates airline with a toddler. Traveling with a toddler is no joke! Almost lost my voice from shouting. I immediately asked for an extra seat immediately we boarded which I got. Can't imagine putting him on my lap throughout with my long belle. Fast forward to Dubai. Connecting flight was for an hour...we were almost the last to board. Just at the boarding gate, I was asked for my fit-to-fly which I handed out. The lady kept looking at me and called one of her bosses. That one too kept staring at the letter, then the lady asked him if I could fly at 33wks (shuooo, the devil is a liar!) me sef kuku started staring at the man with one kain eyes, he eventually said I should go. Immediately we boarded, I asked for an extra seat, well I got 2 extra seats. I just raised the arms of the chairs and voila! A nice bed space for my son. I suffered eye redness as I couldn't sleep all through, all thanks to my son with his Indian friends playing and screaming on board. The free WiFi helped though as I was able to chat with DH throughout the journey. Fast forward to houston POE...the queue no be here ooo. Almost felt like fainting but thank God I didn't. No pity for preggy Momma. Me: hello Cpb: hello (with a strong face) CBP: why are you here Me: to have my baby and for vacation CBP: passports please CBP: place your four fingers for scanning CBP: how much cash do you have on you Me: 7,400 CBP: what do you do Me: i'm an interior designer Cbp: any food stuffs Me: yes Cbp: okay step aside, an officer will come get you Off to secondary inspection: Met a lot of people there and I kept wondering when i'd be called. DH kept calling my phone, I couldn't pick as no phones were allowed. I walked up to an officer and said 'Yes I'm here' she was like, I didn't call you. (oh! Apparently I called myself...sincerely, I thought I heard my name) as I was about to turn, she asked if I was expecting Me: yes CBP: when is your due date Me: july CBP: when did you apply for your visa Me: July 2014 CBP: when is it gonna expire Me: July 2016 CBP: okay, go have your seat Just then another officer came out to ask if people were hungry...some raised their hands. I was too tho but I kept observing. He said okay, if you want food make sure you write your name on this list which was then passed round **for my mind! I said their Fada...sorry I mean their Dad..lol. Esu oni gba ibi ounje ti mumi. Devil get thee behind me! Make dem no deport pelzon ontop sey we chop 5mins later, I was called CBP: how did you know about the hospital Me: well, I had my first child there CBP: really?!, do you have your receipts Me: of course (tried reaching for them) CBP: how much do you have on you Me: 7,400 and my debit card CBP: i'm aware getting PTA in Nigeria is tough Me: oh yes! (Ehen, thank God u are aware) CBP: where does your Hubby work Me: told her CBP: did you declare at the embassy initially that.. Me: *cuts in* of course, told them I'm coming to have my baby. CBP: okay, please don't receive any medicaid and try attach your receipt with other documents when applying via drop box for update Me: okay, will CBP: enjoy your stay....i was stamped in for 6 months N.B visa will expire in less than 2 months Off to Agric: just my garlic was seized. I had all sorts..cray fish, pap, knorr chicken, garri, dried fish e.t.c. Well, there's no big deal about Houston POE as long as you don't misrepresent. Goodluck dearies 23 Likes |

blue355: To leave the hospital, you need just car seat alone but of course you'll need a Stroller to push baby around in case you wanna go shopping et al. Also coming back to Naija, u'll need it, you can place some of your hand luggages in it to ease movement. 2 Likes |

blaize777: @blaize777, all is well by God grace. Try take Milo if you can lay ur hands on one(with plenty milk)...you'll gain weight, so will your baby. Take lots of smoothies and sleep well. Don't panic and don't stress yourself. Suspend any form of exercise. Then as per the car seat and stroller...gracco classic connect, travel system. It's cheaper @ Target or try walmart |

Please stick to what madammus said. I had exactly d same experience with my baby and it was like a week to travel back to naija. I was so scared ehnnn...and you know our people, they'll be like 'upon d America wey you go born, see your pikin face'..lol well my dear don't bother yourself too much. Just continue with the Shea Butter. In my case, I mixed my Shea Butter with little funbact A, and it worked magic!!! Apple19: 3 Likes |

Try get Aveeno Baby(Eczema therapy moisturizing cream). When you get to Naija, try get your hands on the original local Shea Butter +mix a bit of skineal in it. Apple19: 1 Like |

Abeggy....even 100M doesn't guarantee visa approval whereas 3M is just okay for the VO as long as you're sincere and you don't intend to runaway. (looks like u're even planning to relocate).

Hello Nigeria NIV team, I have a B1/B2 visa which I used for birthing in 2014 (the original intent). Now I want to use the visa for the same purpose. My Question is: my visa will expire on the 30th July, my due date is in Mid July and I intend traveling to the U.S first week in June to be back in August. Can I travel with the visa? And what are my chances at the POE? Many thanks. |

The correspondence from Oakbend is okay...most likely you'll be asked at the POE. 10k should see you through. Well pray there's no 'incasity' while staying with Family cos they could act funny at times especially when it comes to paying bills.(not applicable to all families).Travel with enough Naija food stuff, they tend to appreciate that a lot and don't lazy around. With that you're good to go. Talking from experience.... Veka: 2 Likes |

Hello everyone, a quick one please....i'll be due in July and intend travelling to the U.S in May. The issue is my visa will expire in July. Should I just go for the drop box or write a letter to the embassy because my fear is I could be stamped in for 2 months to leave the U.S in July which wouldn't give me ample time to get baby's documents and all. Thanks Has anyone been in this situation before? Please help me sister. |
