To answer your questions, fit to fly should be collected from the hospital you've been going for ante natal care. It should be collected like 48 hrs before you departure. It should also include your LMP and EDD.

You can take up to 10000usd but will have to declare it.

Hope this helps.

Hi NLders,

Please I need an urgent response to this, My doctor wants to send me my Appointment letter but is asking what should be contained in the letter, please apart from appointment date, what else should it contain or what should be stated. Thanks

He should state that he is responsible for your care in the US till you deliver and post partum care if its part of the bargain. He should also include his phone number incase there is need to contact him.

Hello house,
I have been to the port health authority at mm1 but was asked to go to their head office at toll gate and later asked to go back to mm1. am tired of d back and forth game.

Where exactly do I get the to Fit to fly certificate.? Departure or arrival? I have been to arrival but I wasn't allowed in.

Also, must it be on the travel date. I wish to get it a day or two b4 my travel. Sm1 pls help.

I really need a copy of the consent letter to be written by my husband. And the site or link to print the one from the US Consulate.

What is d maximum amount I can fly with. Heard it's 10000usd.kindly confirm.

What other documents do I need to take with me apart from my marriage certificate (copy) as I still use my maiden name on my passport.

Thanks guyz.


You can get ur fit to fly from ur doc n hospital in Nig and u can get it 72 hrs before ur departure,it must state ur gestation age,edd and that u r medically fit to fly on a plane.
There is nothing much abt the consent letter,just write that u r the father/mother and will like for ur child's application for a Nig visa to be granted. The letter must be written and signed by both parents whether present or not. You can google DS-11 form for the form to be notorised for the US passport application
You can travel with 9,999$ and below and would not need to declare it or u can travel with 10,000$ and above and declare it at POE
You can take along some wedding pics in addition to the marriage cert. my passport is in my maiden name too so i travelled with my marriage cert as well as wedding pics even though i didnt need/use it for anything on the long run.

Hi all,

I am in the process of booking an appointment with MIHS for my wife and was advised to contact one of the clinics listed on the maternity package plan agreement sent to me. Please can someone advise on which of these clinics is closest to Legacy suites? Also, is this where the delivery will be taken?

Thanks

Hello preggies, non preggies/boot hangers and papas in the house. I have been silent for a while now but very active following the trend judiciously with my calculators. Hunting for budget package no be beans at all. As a C section candidate, I am yet to see package cheaper than MIHS. MAMATOBENNA and CHIKACOPKALA more oil to ur banga ooo. California looks good but for C section its almost same price or more than MIHS, it doesn't favour me especially mode and cost of transportation over there and accommodation (ve been there twice). Pls anybody with a better suggestion they say two GOOD heads are better than one not two olodos grin. I need to buy my ticket this week b4 it becomes a case of penny wise....... I am a Sept mum.

Hi Shelly, God bless you for this info. It is well with your newborn.
Please, what hospital did you use in Florida and what was the total package like? Thank you

shelly23:
A piece of advise for future moms, it might help someone.

Please do not decline the hearing test. I had my baby on March 1 and had every intention of declining the hearing test cos of the cost, but I was told that it is mandatory in the state of Florida and you can't decline (the state covers the cost).

Anyways, my baby was tested and she failed. We were asked to do a more extensive test and booked the appt for April 14th. This test cost $304 and they discovered that my daughter has hearing loss in both ears and will be needing hearing aids.

Although this isn't news any parent wants to hear, i'm grateful to God that we weren't given an option to decline the test. It's costing us a lot more than planned cos we have to see all these specialists, but thank God it was detected early enough.

I'm not sure what would've happened if we didn't do it and went back to Nigeria just like that.

So please, as you all plan for your birthing trips, make sure to budget for the hearing test. You never know what will happen.

Hi all

I got to DFW over 3 hours ago. POP was super easy. Didn't last up to 2 mins

The conversation was simple
I got to the counter,looking very smart and confident. And before the CBP asked anything, I was quick to say "good afternoon, how are you today"
CBP: Great
I hand him my passport and the blue form I filled.
Cbp: why are you here?
Me: for a training and to have my baby
Cbp: when are you due
Me: May..... Next month
CBP :Do you have your hospital correspondence
Me: yes. Passed him printed copy of the document.

He didn't even take a look before he stamped me in for 6 months.

The I get to agricultural, they ask if I have any food. I said yes an quickly pointed at the bag Containing food items. The officer takes a brief look, takes out the onions and said it's only garlic that are allowed in. And that's it.

Lesson learnt : be super confident and friendly. Don't look scared or come off too friendly. That will make them think you have something fishy to hide.

As for money, try to hold a little below 10k. You don't have to declare your money if it's not up to 10k. I had below 10k.didnt declare it and it didn't come up in the conversation. However, when it comes up. Be truthful with how much you have.

Ensure to pack your food items in transparent nylon bags and label them properly. Its a great way to save time at agricultural and avoid unnecessary scrutiny.

I flew Lufthansa and it was super cool. We were fed 4 times and offered snacks and drinks at various Intervals. I had a pack of crackers in my bag but didn't even open it. I hope this helps someone else. All the best dearies

Hello house, I just received a letter of appointment from Dr. Glenn Morgan for August but the letter is not his signatory, rather one Terry of a guy, I guess in his office. Has any one used Dr. Morgan's letter before for interview with Terry as a signatory? Would it pose a problem knowing that it wasn't the Dr. that actually signed it? Also, between Dr. Morgan and Dr. Fagbohun letters, which one is best advisable to use for the interview? Pls help!!!
