Anyone travelled recently? Please share your POE experience

Came into the US on the 3rd of this month... 2 days back and I shared my experience some pages back

Hallo my NL family.... in the spirit of giving back;

Left Lagos for Houston on the 3rd of March with Qatar. Checked in online and chose seat. Got to airport checked in my luggages. Then was asked to go get the "fit to fly" ceritificate form port health, which I did.... then proceeded to board.

Onboard- nice airline; seat was comfy, got a row to my self on both leg. Crew members were so lovely always checking on me.

Waiting time in Doha was 8hrs; went by so fast though

Landed Houston an 1hr earlier than scheduled. Queue was so long but fast too. To the POE story.

CBP: why are you here (place our 4 left fingers there....)
me: for vacation and childbirth
CBP: How long are you staying
ME: 12weeks
CBP: How much do you have on you?
ME: $5025
CBP: How do u hope to pay up cos that wont be enough
ME: My husband will be joining me later, he's bringing more cash
CBP: (pointing to the address on my custom form) who stays in this address?
Me: my cousin
CBP: (stamps me in till Sept) enjoy your stay and have a safe delivery.


Picked up my luggage. Met another CBP desk when custom declaration form was dropped. Askwd if I had any food item. I said No only peanuts.... he said u may go.

Was thinking there will be another place. Na so I w aka straight to d door to my cousin waiting for me.

Have a good day everyone & thanks alot to everyone that contributed on this page.

Hello house,

Thanks alot for the numerous nd unquantifiable experiences shared on this platform.

I stayed at Richmond nd my apatyment was nt far to Oakbend. I took a tour of both methodist nd oakbend b4 i setrled for oakbend. Used dr. Z, by the way Oakbend staff are soo lovely nd Dr. Z is a wonderful doc, even though he didnt take my delivery, i enjoyed all my doc visits wit other mamas nd d weekly visits to d kroger store closeby.

So to the bills:

Oakbend 2500
NICS 416. Stayed in d hosp for 2 nights nd 3 days. NICS counted 3 days.
I got to d hosp on sat 11pm nd had baby at 2am sunday morning. Left d hosp on tues 7pm
Brown&associates (lab) mother nd baby 126.25, was discounted to $75.75
Birth cert - $23. Picked it up at d countu office after 4days
Blue passport - i got 2 money orders of $160.66 and $27. Passport office at d courthouse in Richmond. Got d passport in d mail box in 6 working days.
Naija passport in atlanta thru an agent $205. Got it 2 days after
Baby's ticket on emirate $91
No hearing test

Hosp, NICS and brown nd associates were paid over d fone with my american bank debit card.

I advise u open an acc wen u re there, made life easier for me.

I had excess luggage - paid $50 on one ghana must go bag dat weighed up to 32kg.

Enjoyed emirates flight nd d hotel accomodation

No questions/checking from Naija immigration nd customs.

So my missionary journey is officially over till 2018 by God's grace.
