TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by pokompakam: 11:58am On Oct 28, 2016
I don over try this klm people. They most likely has tagged my ticket number with the comment that it must be one way. Have spoken to 3 supervisors alreasy no one is agreeing to over ride this 4xx fare. Hubby called from naija the guy said maybe with naija passport he wld av tried. Another one gave me 5xx as return sef, another even told me I must do return ticket but must buy my other return lag that I can't even book one way. They have given me many lines.
My further questions are
Did u book with passport or visa?
Did u buy from an agent
Was your ticket a refundable ticket initially
Did you give them another adult reservation to add the infant booking

@nnystc
I have called them again today. Told them I want to book my dotas ticket for x date to and x date fro. Dey say OK. Wat is my own reservation number to add baby. Wen I giv dem dey start with d one way story. BT if return its d low amount. But the rule says they must attach baby to an adult and DAT I av flown lag to Houston of my ticket. So its either I pay 467 or I buy my return ticket at d 8xx and get the low amount.
Don't they ask for ur confirmation number to add baby?

Same no I can't add baby at DAT price story.

Please did u just book your ticket afresh or dats d same ticket u came with.
I av been on this since I gave birth in sept. Y are they insisting I pay that high.

TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by pokompakam:
Good day my wonderful researchers and advisers. I want to say thank you and to relate my own experience oh.
Started out last year April 2015 found out I was pregnant. The cost and process I read about was so encouraging, but by June l had a miscarriage and paused. But did not give up. Though I had to encourage my neighbor to go ahead that it was worth it birthing in the US from what I read here and also she had an existing visa.
she had a successful trip as well. By Jan I found out I was pregnant again . Plans resumed, meanwhile at this time our heavy account has gone down coz of a building project. So I had to start building up our accounts deligently to be buoyant enough to show as proof when statement is required.also requested hubby does same with his salary acct less spending from them (meanwhile as devil Sabi show himself, hubby own no get any beta deposits except 139k and allowance of 500k he arranged to b deposited while he waits for other allowance an d basic to drop)
I made enquiries and finally decided in May to apply cos hubby kept on waiting for the monies to gather up, interview date Dat was available was july, I wanted to die, but at the same time this gave us 2 months salary dropping g into my acct. I was really worried cos I felt hubby didn't take it serious like I did. I later briefed him what I learnt that confidence matters and that he has to be bold and straightforward when he answers because most likely he will b the one answering even though I will b asked few questions and we should pray for favor not to be asked to present documents.
on interview day. We did prints and stood on the queue, cos of my 2yr old son the attendant queued us next to one mama, next thing I see paper to mama say pick up visa. I smile, but before u know it I begin fear say what if this one next card na blue sheet. He beckoned next we stepped forward.

Vo: good morning
Me: good morning
hubby : good morning
vo: passports please
Vo: why are you going to the us
me: beckon on my husband to answer
hubby: my wife is going to have our baby, my son will be on summer holiday and I will be joining later to assist my wife
vo: where are you going in the states
hubby: sugarland Houston Texas
vo: which hospital, have you contacted any doctor
hubby: houston methodist Sugarland hospital and we have a correspondence with a doctor (wanted to bring out documents) he ignored me.
vo: what is your budget for this trip
hubby 16k plus
vo: what does this cover, everything?
Hubby: flight, hospital, doc, will be staying with my auntie.
vo: what do you do
hubby: it bla bla bla....
vo: how much do you earn?
Hubby: ***,***.**
Vo: what do you do madam
me: biz dev...responsible for..with xyz and we are into this and that.
vo: how much is your salary
me: ×××,×××,.××
Vo: tell me about your travel history
me: been to UK twice, first 2013 alone, 2nd 2015 as a family.
vo:and you (to hubby)
Hubby: yes av been to kenya training, London for family vacation and training
vo: pick up your visa, he circles Tha address on the white paper, make sure you travel with your documents to show at point of entry, pay bills etc.....me I don switch off listening oh as I see white paper. My son says mummies he still has your paper make I collect our passport..... I laf for my mind say my Bobo display is when you smile Dat he is keeping our paper. Oga collect paper we got outside. And saw that we even finished before our interview time of 11am. To tell u how early and prepared we went there.


Poe iah houston we were 2 preggie in the klm flight had to get there first. She was wit her hubby so she get support.
Cbp:good evening
me: good evening
cbp: how was your flight and what are you here for
me: for childbirth and my son is on holiday from school
cbp: do u have any correspondence with a doctor? Let me see
Me: hands him doctors letter.
cbp: have you made payments, how much do you have
me: not yet, they don't accept up until my arrival. I have 5xxx and my dollar card as well.
cbp: do you have any food item?
Me: yes egusi, agbono, yam flour....
cbp: just hold on there madam someone will come for you. (A guy came asked where is d passport picked it from his desk and said come with me madam, I say this is d counting part, almighty secondary inspection)

Got in the room with lots of people waiting, my son started disturbing Dat he still wants to push my hand luggage. They took us to d toy room. Next thing the boy start I want to pu. I tell am say I no know toilet oh Dat he is on his own. If it's bad he should do it on his diapers. I looked at the time and started counting, asked the boy to pick a toy to play with. Later they came and asked me if I needed anything, water, food I declined.
after like 1hr, I took out diapers to change d boy to look for the ladies, someone pointed to d direction.
immediately I came out heading to the toy room again, one of them called me (at this time the other preggie woman has come into the waiting room too)
cbp: what are you here for

me: yes I did
cbp: why is it that most Nigerians come to the us to give birth instead of going to the UK Dat is 6hrs away and us over 16hrs.
Me: I chose to answer him passively cos he was forming that it was not an important question. I said I wouldn't know why others choose but I believe it's to get the best.
cbp: do you have any food items
me: egusi, agbono,etc (I declared on my card)
cbp: stamped my passport, dats wen I noticed my son own was stamped by the other guy.

Went out and saw d preggie woman hubby waiting, he asked me hope she is fine in there and there was sits, I tell am say yes, went to arrival and picked up my bags. 4 bags loaded it on d trolly myself u Wan try strength? 34wks oh.

Please no more pms for tickets, I will not respond or will be nasty in my response

Goodafternoon all,
I don't knw where to start from. Bt I will try to summarise. Since my last post. I jst relaxed after my experience in Dec/Jan.
I contacted Pikinmama for prophet Vin. I called him, he told me about dreams and all. Told me when is their fasting days.
Knowing I cldnt go there I took note of d days and tried to fast. Not so seriously like I used to.
I later called a priest who I bought his prayer books during a retreat program he asked to Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ me and my husband. We went and he prayed with us and asked to go on a herbal therapy, eat bitter kola.
After dat mnths cycle d next never came.
Please join me in thanking God for my timely natural miracle. Have not really had the time to write my testimony, I kept on shifting it, till today I jst mustered d strength.
God is Forever faithful. Thanks for all your prayers.
And also Congratulations to all those with BFPs God who started dis gdwork in us is faithful n just to complete it.
Thanks to blendy77, I remember after getting an invite n I couldn't make it dat day, I sowed a seed in church, specifically dat I celebrate her joy so her joy will spread amongs all of us. God answers all.

Am new on dis forum, though av been a silent reader. TTC for 4yrs 2mnths nw, We av been told so many tins so let me recollect, oligospermia, high prolactin for DH low testosterone, was on medication n dey said improved,hsg n blood test were ok, had first 3 set of Iui's BFN n was told it could b due to PCOS. Changed clinic to work towards IVF dey did anoda set of 4 IUI's BFN. And later went to prepare financially for IVF, had first cycle of IVF in Dec n had OHSS dough tested BFP had spottings n bleeding in d beginin n was asked to do a scan at 6wks, saw irregular echogenic tissues was adviced for evacuation on a second opinion in d hospital after 8wks scan said its not necessary since dey can't find RPC. Dat has been d journey so far,its hurting, but lately DH feels we shouldn't be discussing it cos he believes each time we do its like not having faith that God wil do it naturally.he has been really supportive but I want positive results after working so hard. And don't mind discussing wat to do right next time.
