Hi. Please is there anyone in LA right now? I'd like to meet up perhaps. Thanks.

Btw Virgin Atlantic requires a form to be filled by your doctor before you fly and I think after 34-36 weeks they won't carry you.

Congratulations, ive only flown BA and their max is 36 weeks.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by SAkale: 4:54pm On May 11, 2015
FOR MOST AIRLINES ITS 36 WEEKS, ITS ARIK That is 32 weeks, just have a fit to fly letter in-case you are asked, i know Lufthansa even have a fit to fly medical form on their website for pregs to fill. I am traveling late too so i can maximize my 3months leave days. Congrats and all the best. Good news, my mum got the visa and i had to pay another Visa interview fee for my husband but today miraculously after waiting and tracking the application website for an entire week i got an interview date for him for June 2, its a testimony because we had given up hope and almost paid an agent 30k to get a closer date and bam....i checked one last time and saw June 2 which is perfect to meet due date...

Truly I beleive this whole process is just favor and doing the right thing, DO NOT LIE SHIKENAN!

I thought they had stopped giving I 94 cards. The stamp on the passport is the date you're meant to leave i.e. exactly 6months after to arrived (May 10 to Nov 9)

Can you please crosscheck the website? Its saying webpage not available

hello pals, am new to this forum. but i ve found it very informative reading through all the posts concerning birthing in US. Pls i want to knw whether any member in the house has had the experience of passing thru houston POE and what the experience was like. pls share.

Please see part 1 here for references https://www.nairaland.com/617280/give-birth-usa-cost-procedure/400#up

Thank you.[/quote]
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by shelly23: 5:12pm On May 11, 2015
If you haven't bought yet, I suggest you do so asap and make sure your travel date is before June 15th cos that's the official start of summer peak period and ticket prices will sky rocket.

For example I just checked wakanow, Delta for my baby and I to florida on June 10 is 416k and on June 17 is 686k

A colleague normally orders books, but she picks them up from the post office in VI. You can try but just make sure it's nothing too expensive in case you don't get it.

Hi, was just about to share my POE story. It was God all through. my POE was Atlanta. I wanted to show my e-mail correspondence with Alicia but I was only asked why I was in the US, where I work, how much I had with me and my address. That was it.
Between I Don't underestimate the validity of what the POE officer stamped on my passport. Il attach the picture.

@Newmum 15, I think you should try using shipping or cargo companies. There alot of them now who ship things to Nigeria and If you intend to ship it before you get back mayb you can opt for sea freight it's cheaper but will take a longer time. But by the time your baby is here and you are back in Naija your crib should have arrived and been safely delivered to your house stress free.

Good day people, I hope everyone is doing well. Please I have attached the stamp in page on my passport. I still don't get what it means. My previous stamps carry dates under the B2 but this time no date. I have tried checking through the 1-94 website and couldn't get beyond a certain point.
Does anyone know what this might mean?
Thanks.

[quote author=Newmum15 post=33643028]Thank you so much...I'd start looking around for one

If you won't mind getting a shipper out of Atlanta you can pm me for details, used a shipper in Newark, ie via sail and my stuff got to Lagos in just 20days, and it cost little. But if that would be too long try the Cargo wise people or corporate messengers. I've used them both.
