The testing centers at the Mall strip, are they charging too? I know there is one by the strip where you have A1 Discount Furniture on Westheimer close to Highway 6, there's another on Westpark Drive off Highway 6, and another on Bellaire off Highway 6 by Planet Fitness.
Thanks for the information, I eventually did it at a CVS close to me and I wasn’t asked for any form of ID although I took my drivers license and passport hoping to be asked

I noticed most Mums go to Texas to have their babies, I would like to as well. However, I don’t have any family members there. Can I get a doctor’s report from Texas in other to get a visa, then use it to visit Colorado(where my family stays), cos it’s been difficult getting a doctor there, and I would like to stay with them.
Does it work?? Plz I need response on this..thanks.

What I did was book an appointment with the passport agency. If you have urgent international travel you can do this but appointment is limited. You need to be traveling within 2 weeks to book an appointment. You also need to have your baby travel itinerary. It cost &175 and you get your passport that day


Hi Demmy2021,
How did you get your baby’s travel itinerary without giving the airline its passport details? Delta insists I must have baby’s passport details to get her ticket. Please advice

Good afternoon! Thank you so much for your advice especially @purpleribbon and @Demmy2021
Been trying to complete everything as my return is next week. I’ve gotten my baby’s passport. Called them and gave them my flight itinerary and booking reference. They gave me an appointment but also told me that they may hasten the process and so that I might get the passport before I go for the appointment and that was how it happened so I had to cancel the appointment as they asked me to.




Hello mama. Just wanted to know how soon the passport was sent to you as you booked the appointment to go into an agency to get it done. Iv been here now three month waiting for passport I went ahead and applied without the social security number as advised by the house but I got a letter one month later demanding for it. By then the number had come so I sent it to them. One month later I still haven’t heard from them so I decided to call to ask for an appointment as my trip is month 30th but got a date for the passport 29th. So am hoping they would expedite the application I made already instead of embarking on a 7hrs journey by road to get it done. Just wanted to how soon you were sent the passport after you got the appointment as I was also assured I could receive passport before then and I will then have to call to cancel appointment after receiving it.
@Demmy2021, did you eventually pay for the cvs test? Saw on their site that it’s $139 and also did you pay for the NCDC test? And still did you repeat the test when you got back to Nigeria?
If you did, how much did you pay? Been checking their site for the price and saw nothing

@Purpleribbon, I heard there’s a punishment for those who don’t repeat the test 7 days after return. Do you know?

Just out of curiousness, has anyone applied for a Canadian TRV while visiting the USA ? I heard the time frame for applications from there is shorter.

You can’t get passport without the your husbands notarized document. Impossible. Also I applied for passport as advices by the house here without social security for weeks later I was sent a letter demanding the social and swearing again that I didn’t have it truly. By then i had received the social. Sent it. Waited five more weeks. Nothing. I began to call them to cry. Had to book a walk in appointment which would have taken me 10hrs to get to their venue. God so kind I got the passport yesterday. Have all your documents ready before applying except you want to stay here the whole 6months.

My POE experience was smooth

I landed at Atlanta airport, the man asked ne how long i was staying. I said 3 months. He said welcome to Amurika.

that said there was a very long queue and only 2 officers on duty so I guess thats why he didnt stress me much

If you’re willing to pass through the stress of applying for a visa this tedious period then a simple google search shouldn’t be difficult. We put a lot of money and effort in this journey so researching on the internet and making calls to the relevant hospitals & doctors should be the least of worries

[quote author=Chriscero post=104449740]Hello House,

Wifey and I gave birth to our daughter in the US in Q1 2021 and I want to share a few tips 'cos we benefitted so much from the experience of others here. We travelled on B1/B2 visas and the baby bump was very visible. Wifey's legs were hurting too much right from Nigeria so she was on a wheelchair to help with the pain. Ironically, it prioritised us and we were able to board the aircraft and even pass through security faster.

We travelled straight to Atlanta via Delta Air and from Atlanta to Houston. The drilling in Atlanta no be here o! We were asked to go for the secondary screening but I was fully prepared for the questions that came. The CBP officer took a quick look at wifey sitting in the wheelchair with our baby bump and asked, what are you here for?

Ans: We are here for medical reasons.
CBP: And what is the medical reason?
Ans: My wife is pregnant and we want her to put to bed in the US.
CBP: That can't be done in Nigeria?
Ans: It can and we have actually tried in the past. However, our Nigerian doctor refered us to a Doc. in the US to better manage the pregnancy since my wife has peculiar medical needs.
CBP: Any document supporting that?
Ans: Yes, showed him.
CBP: What is the name of the US Doc?
Ans. Told him.
CBP: Is he expecting you?
Ans: Yes?
CBP: Any letters?
Ans: Yes. And showed him.
CBP: Have you made any payments for your medical bills?
Ans: Yes. And I showed him.
CBP: Where will you be staying?
Ans: I told him and showed him evidence of payment.
We did not want any family drama with relations so we paid for a commercial apartment for the whole 3 months wifey will be around. Sometimes, unknown to you, your relations and friends in the US may have issues that you don't want to be vicariously visited upon you especially if your village peeps are very active grin grin grin. There is a lovely Nigerian couple who have a very huge self contained room for rent in Richmond, Texas and the rates are great. I can hook you up if you are interested.
CBP: How long do you plan to stay?
Ans: 3 months for my wife but just a month for me.
CBP: Why are you leaving her behind?
Ans: I need to get back to work and I have strict instructions to complete the design of the baby's room before their return.
(General Laughter and lessening of tension previously created by wicked village people) grin
CBP: Oh! You do now, don't you. So, how much have you got.
Ans: In cash I have $XXXXX here and in my card, I have $XXXXXX.
CBP: What do you do for a living?
Ans: I am a Bleep.
CBP: Where do you work?
Ans: XYZ company and ABC.
CBP: And your wife?
Ans: She works with WXY company.
CBP: You got any document to prove that?
Ans: Yes. And I showed him.
CBP: So what do you plan to do after the baby is born?
Ans: I will travel back to the US to accompany them back to Nigeria.
CBP: So, have you visited Northern Nigeria recently? Got any relatives or friends there?
[/color] :oMy eyes nearly popped at this unexpected question. WTF!!! I braced myself and told the whole truth and nothing but the truth 'cos I do not know what document my wicked village pipu were flashing on his computer screen.
Ans: I was born there and I schooled there many years ago but I have not visited recently.
CBP: So you wouldn't know anything about Boko Haram, right?
[color=#990000] shocked shocked shocked embarassed embarassed embarassed Me thinking, thinking of all my prayer points against marine spirit, ancestral spirit, familiar spirit, etc to die by fire IJN! Somebody cannot even play with these wicked pipu again embarassed embarassed embarassed. I braced myself and continued in the line of truth.
Ans: I certainly have. I listen to the news and I know as much about Boko Haram as anyone who pays attention to the news coming from Nigeria but I have nothing to do with them
CBP: OK (smiles) Welcome to the US and all the best with the baby and your future plans.
See relief washing all over me like a river! grin grin grin

I thanked him and an assistant helped me wheel madam away to catch our flight to Houston.

LESSONS LEARNT.
1. CBP accepts legitimate travellers with intention to depart the US.
2. Have your all your relevant documentation with you.
3. Speak confidently and truthfully.
4. Maintain eye contact politely.
5. Have sufficient funds $$$$$ grin






Hello Chris can I get the contact for accommodation in Richmond?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone can put me through.
