Hi,

@ Original poster, I was going to weigh in on this matter earlier but had a stressful day.

You need a regular income account in addition to the fixed deposit. In case the VO decides to check, a fixed deposit certificate shows you have funds but they like to know that you are earning money as this also serves as tie. Also, one could borrow funds and fix....you get my drift?

LadyGuinivere:

Remember what I gave you was my opnion and not based on any particular experience.
When in doubt, please err on the side of caution. If somebody has had a personal experience that wasn't favourable then that means you shouldn't bank much on my opinion.

feddy,thanks dear. I know I would bump in on you one of these days at the Drs.

@Nnystc,hope you and baby are OK? Take care dear

Hello guys, I got in to Chicago yesterday. Flew BA and American Airlines on Sunday to New york at 34weeks 3 days. Flight was really good, except that I had motion sickness ( never experienced it before). Thank God I had an extra top in my hand luggage ( so please prepare oh, anything can happen to a preggie woman). I traveled with my 3yrs 8months old son. He slept during most of both flights, and had a nice time at Heathrow during our 5hrs layover ( thanks to a free toy corner we found).
American Airlines was superb ( my first time flying them). Spacious seats, meals on point. Fast forward to New York POE.
Cbp: hello
Me: good afternoon
Cbp: passports pls
Tries to pronounce my son's name and peeps to take a look at him.
Me: laughing
Cbp: what do you do in Nigeria
Me: ........
Cbp: for how long have you been a .....
Me: since 2006- that's 10yrs
Cbp: do you like it?
Me: I love it
Cbp: so where are you headed
Me: Chicago
Cbp: you have family here?
Me: yes my cousin, and she's the one I'm staying with in Chicago ( all this time I noticed he was looking at his computer. My interview in May i mentioned we were going to be staying with my cousin in Chicago)
Cbp: okay nice. I'll take your finger prints now ma'am and your pic.
After that..he stamps me in 6 months
Me: you didn't ask what I'm her for. I'm here to have my baby
Cbp: oh say that again. You're pregnant?
Me: oh yes ( I step back so he can see me well oh)
Cbp: oh cool. So you have a doctor already and all
Me: oh yes
Cbp: okay that's fine. You can go. Pls submit this card to the officers after picking your luggage. ( they made us 1St time visitors to the US fill out a landing card. We didn't do the automated machine thingy at immigration)

So that was it oh. Nothing was seized at agriculture even though I declared dried fish on my form. The queues at JFK no be here oh..thank God my flight to Chicago was about 4 hrs after our arrival time. So Pls take note if you plan to travel same day. Especially if buoyed arriving at the busy times. We arrived Newyork JFK at 1:00pm.

Now chilaxing in Chicago, waiting to see my doctor on Thursday!!!
My Forex hustle- stanbic gave me only 2k at 265 on Wednesday. Then on Sunday morning my travel date, I took my printed boarding pass to travelex at MMA1 and with God's favour got the remaining 2k at 256. Just after selling to me they stopped. I spent a total of about 3 hrs there and that was because I used my belle to jump queue and endured insults from some angry people that had been there since early morning .
God continue to help and favour us all the way !!!

Mumtwins08:

Congratulations on the birth of your little one, Temmy. I'm also using Dr Stimage/Carrollton and you've just answered a question that's been bothering me regarding epidural/anesthesia costs. Looking forward to you posting other expenses so I can adjust my spreadsheet. I wonder why I never asked you about Dr/hospital when we PM'd a while ago. Congrats again. God bless you and yours.

My people in LA, I arrived safely yesterday and have gone for my first appointment. I was quizzed by four different cbp officers, but thank God for everything. I had used my visa for vacation but cos hubby is a doctor,they couldn't buy the better healthcare stuff.

When I told them the bill is 4k,they doubted even when I showed them the correspondence from Dr and hospital. They kept on harping that I would use Medicaid that it doesn't cost less than 25k to deliver in US.

Thank God for His grace and journey mercies. Couldn't get pta anyway, had to buy at black-market.God bless our efforts and our husbands.

Congrats Hun,
Even me I Kind of worried since my bill is like 4k too for Houston north west medical centre, and I will be using Houston POE, so I can imagine how they will interrogate me about my bills

Thanks nne. I appreciate!
Trying to rush my docs so i can go home and face my life. Missionary journey not interesting when you're alone and without your loved ones...

LadyGuinivere:

Tyrah1:
That what I was thinking too but wen LadyG said it easy to liquidate u'mean so confuse don't know what to do

Dear Tyrah1, if the account is yours, you can terminate as lady G has suggested and transfer to your account and defend the statement that the purpose of the FD was towards your missionary journey.

Just my suggestion.

Pray all the way and you will find favor........ all the best.

Or she can go witht the 2 account statements so that it won't look like money lodgement.

Congratulations to Jollybaby, Nnystc, Cutie, Lajois, Damol, Veleta, temmyO and Lady Ay, for the safe delivery and successful POE respectively. Its been a wonderful week filled with testimonies and i pray for many more to come. We are still packing our load, wuld share my POE testimony soonest.

brightog:
Please i need Info on accommodation in Houston, I am travelling in about 3 weeks as am 28 weeks gone , anyone ready to share an apartment

You can use the few concierge services most people here have used or check Airbnb

Congrats dear. Pls which one is anaesthesiologist again? Thought the epidural fee should cover that?

anaestesiologist is the dr who administers the epidural. The Dr's office collect their money separate, as with other practitioners and specialists. The epidural fee hospital collects I think is for the drugs and other things used.

Please mummies on the form for birth cert did anyone fill their nigerian address? or only an american address was used (the space for mothers residence and mothers mailing address)

@Nnystc,yeah accommodation is sorted out. Fred has been very helpful.

Thanks to everyone

All these LA info you guys are sharing , there is God o

Nnystc:
Thanks nne. I appreciate!
Trying to rush my docs so i can go home and face my life. Missionary journey not interesting when you're alone and without your loved ones...

Exactly. The only thing that will be on your mind is to run home. After all the shopping while preggy and arrival of baby, the next thing na to find your square root. Any other thing anyone is saying in Amerricca no koisern you lol. Same happened to me. Safe trip as you come back home.

temmyo:

Hi Damsell, good to see you here again. Are you using LA this time? If you are, have you sorted the accommodation ish? Since thst appears to be the challenge

My sister! Lol. I guess we're finally clear on this epidural/anesthesiologist issue. I better go back to my drawing board.

Any other airline promos? I jst missed this 1

From what I can gather, your best bet now is Royal Air Maroc who still have good deals or Virgin but the mega drop ended on Monday. Also depends on where you're going to!
