Good afternoon Nairalander. I wished I had been on this platform years ago. My sister introduced this page to me and I am grateful that she did. I intend to go on my missionary journey soon and I plan o. Going to newyork. All the cost/bills that I have been seeing are on the high side. From 10k and above. Does anyone have any good recommendation?. I need help so that I can do more research. Thanks

I renewed my B1/B2 visa late 2016 and had the intention of going on a family vacation with it in 2017. That trip couldn't happen, because of certain reasons, so that visa was unused and had just 5 days validity left on it when I flew KLM with my three children on 13th October, to go have my fourth child.
I had almost taken the decision to get a fresh visa via dropbox , but changed my mind because of the increase in asking dropbox renewals to schedule an interview instead, my obviously pregnant belly and the difficulty in getting close interview dates.
So, armed with the knowledge that I could be at the POE even at the last date and still get stamped in for six months, I decided to take my chances.

I was 35 weeks and 5 days, at the time of the flight and at MMA, the fit-to-fly letter from my doctor wasn't requested for.
While boarding after the layover at Amsterdam, that wasn't requested for either.



We got into LAX about 11:30 am on 14th October and proceeded to CBP.
All passengers were directed to use the many automated passport control kiosks to scan our visas and answer some questions.
I declared that I had brought in some of the foods asked about, then proceeded to scan my visa.
My old passports were attached to the newest, with rubber bands, so the entire thing was quite bulky. An officer noticed that I had difficulty scanning my visa, because of that, so he came over to help.
I noticed that when the machine asked my reason for coming into the U.S., he selected "Pleasure".
He also scanned my children's passports and the machine issued receipts for the four of us.
Then, we proceeded to the CBP officers at the counter. The one I went to asked nothing about my very obvious pregnancy, correspondence with doctor or hospital, nor did he request to see previous childbirth bills.
He didn't ask how much I brought in with me. I had already declared, on the machine, that I didn't have up to $10k cash with me, anyway.
He asked what foods I had declared and I told him I brought in dried veggies and dried fish. Of course I had more food than that, but those were the only ones I had been required to declare. I had brought in two boxes of food from Nigeria.
He asked when last I had come to the U.S. and I told him. He asked how often my kids had come to the U.S. and I told him how often each had come, since birth.
He looked at my visa, then at his watch. I guess he wanted to confirm that the visa was still valid then.
He asked how long I intended to stay and after I said, "Eight weeks," stamped me in till April 13th 2019, gave me back the receipts from the machine and pointed us in the baggage claim direction.
The entire interaction with him took about five mins.

We picked up our checked in luggage and headed to exit control, where the receipts were taken. We spent less than two mins there.

From there, we exited the airport and got a taxi to the Airbnb home we had rented.
Thanking God for a drama-free and very fast POE experience and resting up for my doctor and hospital appointments.

hopefully when u return you don’t have renewal issues cause it wud be so clear you left early without renewing because of your pregnancy
Wish u a safe delivery

I also used him 2015 never met any Nigerian in all my appointment and the service was good
Hmm Has a number of doctors with thesame bill so if xydas isn’t ok let’s find someone else
After all we are paying for it

$2k is not beans, I may b wrong, but I was one of the 1st people to use Dr Nicholas in 2015, and I did due diligence to fetch him out, then I had a good service, trust me when people rush a particular Doc. their services may drop sure to over booking.. Which is not a reason for bad service thou..
Dr. Nicholas is a qualified Doc who sees more of Latin Americans and black Americans from the sub urban areas.. We too dey rush him too much, can we please do more research and get new untapped Dr. Alot of us just are doing copy and paste no research..

It's bad and heart breaking to get a crappy service but we Nigerians are to used to doing follow follow.. There are untapped hospitals and Dr., but we r not doing due diligence..

So sorry for the bad service, pls am begging get new leads...

Exactly

Vlesparza:
Unfortunately, a nurse practitioner is not a doctor. Prenatal care with a nurse practitioner with a doctor doing the delivery is between $750-$1100 at the most, not $2000.

Please want to ask a quick question
A friend of mine is trying to renew her visa which hasn’t expired but cause she wud be using it soonest and doesn’t want it to expire while she is away
What I want to know is if it’s possible to renew a visa before expiration
Has anyone ever tried that before ?

asake85:
Wyckoff in Brooklyn is not bad, used them in 2016

do you have any details I know someone who is interested

Vgil100:
Has anyone gone for this birth trip with their America kid.Pls what is the perception at POE.Does that send a wrong message? I am really feeling pity leaving my 5 year old (born in US) for that long.And my trip is less than a month.I am confused, to take him or not?

i have twice first time they just asked if I have receipt second time no one asked me anything

OmoBendel24:
To declare previous birthing? If yes, no need. You seem to have used your visa appropriately; that is, if you birthing intentions were relayed to the CBP Officer at POE during that trip, and that you paid, and that you neither deceived the VO or misrepresented during your previous interview.

So, go the dropbox route, the probability of you being called in for an interview isn't so high compared to other cases, but keep your mind open on it still. If this visit however isn't about holiday but going to birth, better you just schedule yourself for an interview with them to save precious time....

Thanks it’s for holiday am renewing with hubby and my daughters who are not citizens
Thanks

Hello please am new here and I need an urgent advice
I got my first visa in 2014 and I travelled to visit then went again to give birth note all this journeys has been as a family
I renewed successfully with drop box and after that used twice again the 2 years visa with my family
Now my visa is expiring and I intend doing another drop box but people’s have been scaring me with saying people are having drop box issue renewals
I don’t intend using the visa for anything other than to visit what do you suggest do I do the drop box or just pick interview and declare the birthing even dou I have renewed successfully

chloe00:
And to say this is the doctor I intend using , I’m angry ahead o, I don’t like shabby services like this neither am I saying worship me. But 2k is a lot of money and I’ll rather use it in addition to my baby registry than to throw it away, they need people to boycott their services so their heads can be correct

i also intend using this doctor
Now am worried

I got a mail too,just one person waas picked!out of all interviewed cus he had shipping experience!beta luck next time
