My Dear, I flew Delta Last Dec with my infant and I did not pay shishi.. I mean no dollar at all and I still carried 10kg for him.. How it happened still baffles me but let me give you what I think might have saved me.. Get the baby's Naija passport if you can..That way, you can request that they just upload baby's data on your own ticket.. Also, don't bother contacting them now..Just go to the airport and inform them of your intentions.. I went with my toddler and my mum.. my toddler;s ticket was on mine so I just told the lady I wanted to purchase for my baby on my mom's ticket.. She told me since the baby is below two, I didn't need to. I told her that it wasn't just a local flight as I will be flying to Lagos from Atlanta.. She said it doesn't matter. I kuku kept quiet and asked her to help print out boarding pass for both JFK-ATL and ATL-LOS... I also asked if I was entitled to a bag for my baby as I had one and she said sure..Maybe she was tired o, or she was new, I really don't know but God did it.. She went to ask her supervisor and that one was already oohing and aahing on my sons with my mum..She just took the thing, printed it out and wowza! we were on our way... Morale of the Story?

[quote author=nefertitiram post=32975417][/quote] Congrats on your POE @ Chicago....but I am a little worried about the way that question was diplomatically dodged. I am a Chicago Mum (2012 & 2014) and i must say i had it tough on the 2nd POE cos i was delayed for more than 3 hrs but the 1st POE was less than 5 mins went in very heavy with husby but was not asked about being preggy which i was obviously showing @ 30weeks....but maybe the CBP was too tired or was engrossed in his gist with his colleague that it became an oversight for him....anyways we werent asked about being preggy but at the point of renewing my visa i was denied....we (husby and i) did drop box for holiday as i have hung my boots(hopefully) but husby was granted at dropbox renewal while i was called in for an interview (bear in mind my maiden name is still what i bear on my passport) and dropbox are treated and packed individually even when you apply as a family....anyways went for the interview and the lady stood on the fact that i hid my preggy both at interview stage in london and at POE on the 1st trip...and i told her at the interview in london and even at POE 2012 we not asked if we were preggy the VO was more concerned with our hometie to nigeria as we were both student in uk then.... But all said....everybody's case is different but for the records your POE is in their records, it will show the question being asked but diplomatically avoided....well lets hope for the best for you though with renewing ur visa but get ready sha....thats my advice. regarding childbirth in chicago...PM me if you need details....being tagged before so dont wanna be tagged YET again, got an all in one package which made sense from a doctor. xoxo 4 Likes |

So the eagle has landed. Got to dallas today with lufthansa. The flight was really good the service was top notch with lots to eat and drink. The flight from abuja was kinda empty though (I wonder why). Straight to the matter. As we landed in dallas I said a word of prayer stepped out and continued to call on God. I walked I did not feel I needed a wheelchair having sat on a plane for so long. It got to my turn and my conversation with d cbp guy went thus Him: hi Me: hello Him: so where to and what brings you Me:told him, to spend my maternity leave and give birth Him: when last where you here, was it to give birth Me: last year vacation Him: have you made contact with a doctor Me: yes and hands him burden of proof (notification of intent letter, hospital correspondence, doctors correspondence, maternity leave letter from my job) arranged in that order. It was intentional He read them all then asked how much my care would cost and how much I had. I told him about 6k then I had 5002usd cos of exchange rate then my cards He asked where I work, I told him. He stamped me in 6months. All this took like 3minutes. I was jumping for joy To be continued........ 8 Likes |

Next to the guy that takes the landing card. That one come carry my matter for him head He asked what I had, I told him all I had but carefully did not mention palm oil (I had just a little incase they threw it away and I froze It o but d tin had completely melted self) Then he goes, so why are you here, I told him and he says "so do you have 10k dollars cos I know for a fact that child birth is not less than 10k". I smiled and told him there is discount for self pay patients. He asks me to prove it so I handed the same burden of proof. He read it and kept shaking his head like I invented the letter. Then asks do u have cash to pay, show me. I brought out the cash he doesn't touch it nor counts I added I have my cards Then he makes his concluding statement, you just want to get medical aid for your child, that's y you are here. I asked aid? Insurance? He nodded I just smiled and told him I do not intend to. He was not convinced but had nothing on me, so he sent me off, all this lasted like 5minutes. My bags were not checked. I just walked with a spring of joy in every stride Dallas poe is ok for me too, the second guy was just over-sabi lol. I omitted some of d conversation, d post is long and I don tire Jesus at work! 11 Likes |

5k dollars. I summed up the coins in my purse to 2dollars (I don't know how to add up those coins). I got PTA that's d best option now. I missed the easter low sales of dollars. Thanks @ newmum |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by woaini(f): 8:28am On Apr 23, 2015 |
Personal travel allowance. U get that from a. Bank. It's usually within CBN rate. Even when dollar rose to above 225 PTA was btw 197-200. The challenge is that as an individual account holder u can only get 4k while a corporate account holder gets 5k. Not all banks give this service though so find out from yours or open an account with the ones that do. |

Morning everyone, Anyone with the email address for Houston northwest medical centre, please share. Also, for those who used the hospital, i'd appreciate contact details and cost for an affordable Paediatrician that can work with the hospital. learnt the ones attached to the hospital can be pretty expensive. Thanks 1 Like |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by 0yin: 10:23am On Apr 23, 2015 |
Diapearl: I think you should write back to the embassy that you are pregnant and would like to birth in the US, if your visa has already been granted. You might be called in for an interview but you should be ready to defend yourself as to how you didn't realize you were pregnant at the last interview you had. 1 Like |
