AdomMum:
Hi! I came in thru Dulles airport at the beginning of Aug,you could check my posts and read my POE experience so you could learn a thing or two from there.You have to be prepared! Most times they send preggie mums for secondary inspection and you have to be ready for any question thrown at you with burden of proof.So please brace up, fret not and gain some confidence!All the best!


Adommum just read your experience trully amazing. The am fyling with Qatar. Where there a lot of preggy mums on your flight. Na wa oo I'll definately take a letter from my hubby's office and his statement. Them ill ask my mum to write me a letter as well and a copy of the companies statement. Would that suffice? I am a freelancer and maybe my sis should write a letter as well stating how much funds I have with her. I think the key is be prepared! Odikwa not easy at all at all! Funny thing is my other sister was stopped in Atlanta. A year ago they asked for funds she told them what she had and a recipt from hospital saying she had paid 3k to them after 30 mins they let her go. Thank you for the breakdown. It's really been helpful

@Isaleko
There's really nothing else I can add at this point. The ball is now in your court. If you have the funds and they can be verified, I don't see or understand why you are panicking.
So they send you to secondary inspection? That's not the end of the world. I have spent the night in a holding room while my details was verified, I no die. So the CBP shouts? Its his mouth and also brought about by our Nigerian brethren that go and disgrace themselves with un neccessary lies.
Find what works for you. U can tell them you stutter when people yell at you and to allow u present all your evidence if need be.
See, just read the POE transcripts here.

My people, please help me clear the air on this. I read somewhere that it is cheaper to buy your local flight ticket at the airport in yankee. How true is it? I've always bought online till I read this one.

@LadyGuinivere...

Thank you very much for replying. I feel so bad lying about my job. The first interview:

Vo: gudmg
Me&mu: gudmng
Vo: so why are you going to the US
Me: for childbrith
Vo: where in the us
Me: houston, texas
Vo: do you have a doctors corespondence?
Me : yes
Vo: asked to see.
Me: handed doctors correspondence, including hospital's , appointment letter, budget sheet prepaid
Vo: scanned through the documents for less than a min then asked the total amount for both medical bills and travel expenses
Me: approx 15000
Vo: have you ever traveled outside nigeria?
Me: no
Vo: typed and look at me and said sorry you are not eligible
Nne I honestly don't have sufficent details from here. Who's your doc? Which hospital? How much is in your account
If you will reapply, change your hospital and Dr. The vo may be biased against some doctors.
Which county did u travel to?

Sadly. I can't suggest a doctor. But so many have been posted here. You have to go through this thread and pick one or research further.
You can also apply for expedited interview. Somebody recently posted the procedure. Its also on the US embassy website.

Well for me I think all these discounted packages are for uninsured patients bcus if u 're to pay for d undiscounted price we should be talking of 18-20k sef, so for me even the oakbend and all d gbogboero are all ment for uninsured and under insured citizens. To d best of my knowledge o uninsured patient is simply a self pay patient. Just my thought though.

Madam ucystan, I greet you. Please, I need to talk to u privately. It's with regards birthing in Chicago. I tried sending u a mail to no avail. Pls reach me via my mailbox. Thanks

Dear House,

I need an urgent favour from the house.

My wife and daughter will be leaving the US on the 23rd of August. We were processing the Visa application for her with Tanko but he hasn't been picking up his calls.

Please if anyone has Stella or Eddy's number , kindly PM me.


Thanks in advance,

My dear, I intend to fly Qatar too and will be entering via IAD. I'm hoping to have a wonderdful POE experience as well. Please ensure that you complete your Medif Form at least a week before you fly(If you're travelling after 28 weeks)and note that Qatar doesn't take expectant mums after 35 weeks, so plan ahead.

Also, if it's possible to pay ahead then go ahead and do that and just save yourself stress as most people who prepaid hardly have issues at the point of entry. Anyways have a safe trip and please share your POE experience once your mission is accomplished!

Good afternoon sis. Please I just send you a mail concerning bronx parole. I don't understand all these Maryland doc that only do fax and phone call. My POE will be jfk and I can see doc correspondence is highly important.

Oh i never knew of the medif form, thanks and i am travelling at 26 weeks on the dot so i doubt ill still need that would i? ill be well rested by Gods grace when i land cause i am getting booked into a hotel for my layover so i go face the 14hrs no shaking by Gods grace. I pray for divine favour, unmerited grace for you too in jesus name and you would be fine infact all traveling mums. Also like i said i have paid Dr full amount he requested and my reciept has 0 bal on it. in his letter he wrote that the hospital fee is to be paid after delivery. so i guess that settles why i didn't make a deposit. he said if i did i might end up paying more but of course use the service and then pay for the actual stuffs you used makes sense, ill also be holding the estimated with me and more God willing it would be a breeze. are you using a maryland hospital?

@LadyGuinivere

I am sorry for bugging you. I checked the US embassy on expedited date, one of the requirements is to get a letter from my doctor in nigeria stating my medical condition and why i need to travel. But my pregnancy is not complicated. How do i go about that. What does the doctor needs to write? Please house, if anyone has requested for expedited interview date what did your doctor state in your letter. I would appreciate your responses. Thanks and God bless

For where! Maryland hospitals no send anyone oh(If anyone has a better experience, please share). We're looking towards Virginia which is close to Maryland but their hospital fees are better even though doctors fee is slightly more expensive. When are you going? Ours us in October!

As per sending, I just meant that Maryland hospitals are extremely expensive compared to other states. I also took the liberty of checking on the reviews of Prince George county hospital and I'm alarmed. Not to get you apprehensive but please find out more about the hospital. A lot of the reviews are negative and there is even a news story this month about their NICU (See link. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/deadly-bacteria-found-in-neonatal-unit-at-prince-georges-hospital/2016/08/09/e0b5b8fc-5e54-11e6-9d2f-b1a3564181a1_story.html)
