My problem now is, will I ve a problem renewing d visa and going for another missionary journey, since I didn't use d first visa for vacation at all, just to give birth? Pls veterans ur advice will be seriously appreciated.

I thought the baby needed a ticket too showing he/she is travelling to expedite?
I just told my agent to send me a booking that I printed and showed them at the agency.

@firsttymum hope you're enjoying motherhood. Well done o....

The baby does not need to be on the itinerary in order to expedite the US passport application.
They only require the flight details of the parent(s)...

I would advice you to just go ahead and renew via drop box,worse case scenerio,they would invite you to come for interview and you go with evedence to show that you paid all your bill during your last missionary journey and you allsogo with burden of proof for this journey.

I'm not sure I understand this your story oh.... but I'm think you have gone 4 birthing once and now want to go for anoda.. - (sharp-sharp wink) but you r concerned about renewing ur visa. However, since you say u declared the pregnancy and sent the change of intent letter to the embassy, I don't think you'll have any difficultly with renewal - as long as you can show that u paid all your bills.

I didn't add baby to my ticket before going to the passport agency for her passport. I included her in my ticket 2days before departure. Since the parents or mother have a ticket, that should do.

Hello All, so i am unexpectedly back here. Just discovering i'm pregnant. though i had my baby in US the last time without hitch thanks to this thread; i have to change location of visit this time. Anyone has info on CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife) around Arlington Texas?
i registered with one the last time and it was very cost effective. if your planned delivery is by VB and they always have surgeons available in case an emergency CS needs to be done.
Any info please help. PS: it's hospital birth o

Babes, don't you already have where you will be staying in Chicago? Just put the address on your landing card and you are good to go. Are you travelling alone?
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by cinakin: 12:49am On Nov 16, 2015

nefertitiram:


You try jare.
Lol!
But no spoil this good news, abeg! We use Jesus to beg you, no do Chicago POE. Use JFK or Newark, New Jersey. Then buy a domestic ticket to O'hare, it's like 2hrs away or less.

Congrats and well done

Chai... and I'm not a very good teacher. how we go do am now eh?
Many airlines fly to JFK in New York and Newark is in New Jersey but it's a stone throw to New York. If not that you are avoiding Chicago, as a first time traveller and preggie again, the logistics of changing airport can be tiring.

You can fly air France, klm, turkish, emirates, royal air Maroc, to these destinations but they will first land in their countries before heading to JFK, although JFK remains your POE, then buy domestic ticket that will take you to chicago. But the small issue is on your return, you will be stressed out using JFK out of US especially with your bags, a new baby etc.

And you are looking for cheap tkt if not I would have advised you do Lagos-JFK when going and Chicago - Lagos on your return but it just might cost a little higher than usual.
