Good day to every one in the house. No matter what is happening with dollar and naira now, God will see all of us through.
Now my field back.
I came across this forum about first quarter of the year. I read through most of the pages. It wasn't easy going through all the pages. I got my B1/B2 visa Feb 2015 for an official trip of which I attended. I had my first kids (twin) over 8yrs ago.
I planned travelling with the kids during my annual leave this year so I had to apply for their visas. Visa was approved for them . The plan was for us to visit Florida, little did I know that God had other plans for me. 2months later I realised that I am pregnant. we change plans. In the quest of my research I came across this forum.
I sent letter of intent to the USA embassy and I got the usual reply.
Got Dr and Hospital quote from HNWMC. We travelled with Emirates 23rd of September. it's was a long trip to JFK but thank God it was a safe trip.
Got checked in by the machine, join the line to be interview by Custom officer
Officer: good day ma
me: good day sir
CO: where will you be staying in the US
me: 2 weeks with my friend in NY after which I go to Houston to have my baby
CO: He stretch out to look at my stomach. He asked after having your baby will you come back to NY?
me:No my ticket is booked for (Abj to JFK and Houston to Abj)
CO: what is your friend address?
Me: the address filled in the immigration form given to you. and she is outside waiting for me.
CO: You have food
Me: yes.
Co: stamped us in till March 2017 and asked us to go to agric.
Agric officer picked on 2 bags out of the six bags at is discretion , scan them and asked me to take my bags and go.
Na so my palm oil, coconut oil, and every other orishishi in the other bags scale through.
Still in NY resting. Hope to port Houston 8th of October.
I appreciate every one here. Thanks for the info given to JJC like us.

congrats dear. We shall all have smooth and stressless experience in this missionary journey of our.

Lajoie33:
It’s my turn to give back oooo
After we renewed and selected dropbox, they called me for an interview. A few days later, my DH’s visa was ready for collection. Thank God for the encouragement on this thread I for don cry finish. Anyway I prepped like mad. Gathered a truckload of burden of proof (Phema would be proud), and travelled to Abuja. My transcript:
VO: calls me to her counter, didn’t mention my surname
Me: Good afternoon ma'am how do you do?
VO smiles: great and you? (I smile say ok) sorry I couldn’t pronounce your surname, I didn’t want to make a mistake
Me: Not a problem ma'am, its ---
VO attempts to pronounce it, makes me laugh and that sets the tone of the interview
VO: So we notice the last time you travelled it seems you had a baby in the US
Me: Yes ma'am
VO: Can we see any receipts?
Me: Yes ma'am, I have 2 receipts from 2 different hospitals
VO: How come?
Me: I went on vacation, my big sister convinced me to attempt a water birth in a birthing center. Fast forward real labor, after 3 days of pain I was begging for an epidural and so I had to be transferred to a hospital
VO (laughs): Ok (takes receipts from me)
Types and types
VO: your receipt is not itemized.
Me: no, that’s all they gave me, along with a letter of non-indebtedness
VO: Ok you might want to get an itemized receipt from them as it could be asked for at the POE. Am assuming this trip is to have another baby…
Me: yes ma'am ( In my head: how could it not be, with my very long belle)
VO: Are you giving birth in the same place?
Me: No ma'am.
VO: why not?
Me: I now know I'm a sissy when it comes to pain, so this time around, I'm pre-paying for my epidural in a hospital.
VO (laughs): Natural childbirth sounds great
Me: Yeah until you're in labor for 3 days.
We have a good laugh
She types and types
VO: did you tell them at the airport the last time that you were going to have a baby:
Me: I think so, I was so tired and my mum was with me doing most of the talking, I really can’t remember…
VO: did you go for secondary inspection?
Me: no
VO: ok were approving your visa, make sure…. (All the usual advice)
I'm ecstatic!
Me: thank you ma'am! My visa is still coming via DHL right?
VO: Yes
I float out of the embassy
God has been awake on my behalf. He has used you all to help me. I did my renewal without help from any agent, only the advice from this group. Thank you for giving me the information so freely and kindly. This is one forum where I see Nigerians giving for the sake of giving. Thank you and God bless you all.
